Little help here people...

[Schmung]

I have tried, with little luck, to find nice replacements for the default HL lights, I've got all these shiny custom textures in my levels and the majority of the lights are these HL ones that look arse. Replaced a few with Blaz's and a few other asssorted ones, but to little avail.

Anyone know of some nice textures, or a link/tutorial on how to se about creating your own. My attempts so far, mostly based around taking an existing metal texture, then making a load of layers to simulate the bulb/tube and the glow off it have been dreadful. Also, how do you do the glass/plastic thats covering it?

Theres a nice example in the HL replacement texture thread, I'm after something along these lines, but single lights :

you could always edit it yourself to be one light.

i remember ginsengavenger having a nice office texture set, try that, it comes with his industrywest map.

arr, not sure who created it though and it comes out at a pain in the arse odd size. Still, if nothing else is forthcoming I shall use it. Thanks for the tip. Where is ginsengavenger anyway?

Those are Postman's textures, he'll probably help with a tutorial (Hopefully) on it, if he gets around to readin' this thread.

He's at these boards... if you mean his site, its here

and you can download the map here

Yeah, I've got industrywest, had a looksee, but there are no light textures I can use there.

I've seen gin on these boards and the TS ones (he was making a very promising oriental themed map), but he's not posted in ages.

Here's hoping Mr Postman puts in an appearance.

He is still around at the cs.net forums, and sometimes mapcore as well. Also, did't zintis make some office texture set?
