Looks nice, but very dark. The white background on that page doesn't make it easier to discern the architecture. You should make the map a bit brighter, but aside from that, the map looks nice...

Yes, I've had many similar comments about the lighting and I agree, its dark...I'm trying to place lights in a way as to make the bottom area look lighter and the pipe area less red, though I still want a few of them to be broken or out. I'll fiddle with the texlight brightness and see if that will help.

I'm already riding my r_speed limit here (850 something, which is suprising as it seems like so much more in-game 
) so I can't really do much in the current shots in terms of architecture, but if I could, there would be some damaged floor bits, maybe some exposed floor pipes, etc.
I'll get y'all some more screenies as soon as I finish the ready room, which will be soon.

Did I hear someone mention 'prop models'? No? Oh, well...
Posted 20 years ago2004-08-20 06:00:19 UTC
Post #52268
I considered them, but I don't particularly like using big gigantic ones as level "architecture" .
Maybe some pipe models and clip brushes in tandem could work well to cut down on some w_polys. I'll look into it some more tomorrow.

Models are also very usefull for moving detail, like cog wheels and such. Something I never really put to use before. I agree though that they aren't very usefull for large details, as they are lit differently. And the textures you used feature quite some details already, so indeed no real use for models.
Well, looking forward to see progress on this map...

I've used a few prop models, like the chair.mdl that comes with NS and some other small prop details such as bottles and equipment that the workers would have left lying around in incomplete areas that I haven't screenshotted yet.
@pepper: I'll get in touch when I can get a playable version up and running. It's a fairly small map (5players/team) so it shouldn't take ages to finish.

Looks extremelly nice! I love that style of lighting, so dark... adds a sort of creepy feel to it; kinda like when you play the aliens and you have a group of marines in sight but they don't see you, the enviroment helps.
It looks like it was ripped straight out of DOOM 3.

They're just temporary! until I get around to mapping more, they're just there to stop leaks and will be removed/changed as time goes on.

I know you all like screenies, so check out the new Ready Room ones.
(Yes, they are dark, though I just wanted to get teh thing compiled to show some progress, and those pesky leaks held me back an hour or two
). I'm working on getting some monitors/machinery/something that has light! into the map so it has some brighter lighting but still keeps the same setting...I'm contemplating adding a furnace-y machine [ooh, fire!] and some other light-emitting devices.
Enjoy the update.

You want light emitting textures?
You want soda in a can?
You need HobbinAde!!

I've also been contemplating changing this to NS _ ethereal, as the layout seems to lend itself well to NS, with some decent points for resources, and multiple areas for each team to defend and assault them.
NS map or no, I'll keep you informed.

I've revamped the style a bit...less dull yellow/bright red and more flat red, orange and blue colors. This is definitely evident in the second image (14), the pipes have more of their original color and are not washed out by the red.
I've also done Lift Shaft A12 (15, 18) finished up Transformer Bank C (20) and completed Incinerator, the Marine Spawn Point. (21).
I've also added some lighting details like overlays on the computer screens and light pipes, and some new 'runway' lights in the Ready Room, which I'll screenshot the next time around when the sprites get working.
