Quote from Daniel Nilsson

Just played it, it has a really cool atmosphere to it! Good design and item placement too. But I think it look even more interesting if it were to have more colored lights to it, either if different areas inside the "thing" had different light colors lighting it from below or if you were to have some large point lights matching colors from the sky box. So that the platform by the planet had blue light hitting it and then orange light from the nebula. Also some weapons were in shadows and a bit hard to see, if you didn't want more lights in the area maybe a light_junior would be good? But overall I liked it very much!

Some good points. thx

I see what I can do for my next release.

You will need to increase your hunkMegs to load this map.

And as my gfx card is bugging me I can't say how bright it is (I can't use the brightness slider)

It might need some readjustment on your side.

I play and built this map with:

/r_ignorehwgamma 1

/r_gamma 1.0 (actually this is the default value)

*edit: and /com_hunkMegs 256

I hope you like it

Take a look at this:

See if you have any lines in the sky. There might be some other issues with it, it's from 2006 so, but q3s the same and so am I =)

It works,not as good as in your map. But it's definitely an improvement.

There is only a small line left that comes from the skybox model.

I just don't know why they are there, because I'm using the same shaders as yours.

I can play it without a problem, and the only difference from my config to the default config are the increased hunkmegs

Try /com_hunkMegs 256 in the console and restart. Double check if q3 really increased the hunkmegs in your q3config.cfg under "seta com_hunkMegs "256"".

Big maps and mods needs more ram to start.

You forgot the .arena file, without it you can't see nor select your map in the menu.

It seems to work, I see no lines in your map . Idk how it will look like with my map but I will try it later on when I'm done with most of the work.

Thanks Hipshot!

Deluxe.

Are you on a ATI card?

Yes, I guess you mean the black lines on the skybox

I've heard it has something to do with texture clamp. Is there any bugfix for this?

Quote from SpronyvanJohnson

How are things progressing?

quite good. I'm just a bit concernded about the size of the map, it might be to small for 8 players.

@ I was aware of cgtextures, what I meant was already done texture sets by someone else. I'm lazy

But I couldn't find fitting ones, so I refurbished the old q3 textures.

I'm almost finished with the brushwork, and will now work my way through all the faces and align the textures correctly.

The jumppad and teleporters are finished(I might change the colour later on) and I replaced the q3 textures I was using with new ones. (They are both 512x512, the old one are 128x128px).

Z(Rus) yes it is a model,would be a PITA to do this with patches.

Hipshot Thanks man!

Z3LCIAH thx. That would be their nightmare

I've decided to use only quake 3 textures as It's hard to get new ones (broken links etc.) or I don't know if I can use them regarding their license. Would you count this contest as a commercial use?

Anyway, the brushwork is almost done and I will work on the jumppads now and get rid of the placeholder.

I'm done with the dome. I will optimise and unwrap it properly near the end, as I might change it and I dont want to do this twice.

I will now concentrate on the brushwork and paint some textures or find one, sadly most of the awesome texture pack sites shut down.

I did a test with ~90k tris and my fps dropped from constant 90 to 82, if I turn arround very fast. And I dont have a monster pc.

Just make sure to increase the hunkmegs, or q3 crashes while loading.

Nice gothic architecture

Having some fun with organic shapes:

pat h Thx for the help!

Conrad Justin Thank you.

I dropped the old layout as it's to big for the time I have left. So I have chosen a smaller one(some walls are missing):

I'm working on the visual theme of my map(WIP), and made a blockout for one of the hallways today. Sadly, I got a lot of trouble with the patches(zfights,open edges,seams), so I will model and import them.

old post ----------------------------------------

I always mapped for the fun and the look, but I know nothing about a good layout or item placement.

However I started with the layout yesterday(no walls atm.):
