Your world is waiting...

The dark spots are done for the theme. And what do you mean by details to the walls? I don't know what else to add. Do you mean change the texture? Because I like that Quake 1 texture. And what do you mean by tiling? The wall textures? The floor texture? And, is there a way to change the color of the lights? For example, red? Thanks! I'll upload the texture you want soonobsidian wrote:Increase intensity of lights, possibly add a few low powered fill lights to brighten up really dark spots. Add some details to the back walls in the first 2 screenshots, looks a bit plain and also try to fix the tiling texture on them... perhaps swap with a larger sized texture.
Third screenshot looks pretty cool though. I like the bricks, where did you get them from?
.The 2nd shot is another part of the same area. It pretty much looks the same as the 1st shotAnthem wrote:I like the first shot a lot. Some of the other ones seem to have too much open space. Consider making more pillars, platforms, and levels. By creating other levels you can fill in some space with stairs, jump pads and teleporters.
. And that's exactly what I'm trying to do (pillars, platforms, jump pads, teleporters, etc.), fill the open space. If you look at some of the earlier versions of my map they are very bad and very loose especially compared to the current one. Check out the shots when I first released my map, http://www.quakelive.com/forum/showthread.php?t=50203. Heaps has changed!I made it dim to give it a dark/evil atmosphere. I already said I'm going to add stuff like that. And I don't see anything wrong with the Quake 1 texture for the walls. And I'm stuck with Entity Inspector, I don't see a way to change the color of the light. What's the manual called?obsidian wrote:This screenshot:

By details, I mean the walls that is just a single flat slab. Anthem is right about adding more floors, pillars and other things to fill up the space and create more interesting gameplay. This will also help fill in some of the drab flat walls. For stuff like walls, think also about adding stuff like trim, support structures, pillars, etc. to make them look more visually appealing.
By tiling, I mean the texture is relatively small for such a large surface area. So the texture does a lot of repetition and you get sort of a mosaic effect.
To change colours of lights, select a light, hit "n" and the entity inspector dialog pops up. You should see a set of instructions detailing how to increase the brightness or change the hue of a light.
The entity inspector is key to all entities in Radiant.
Fine, but I don't think it'll looks good on my map. I've tried it before and failed.Anthem wrote:Select a light and press 'k'. This should let you change the color of the light. Nothing is wrong per se with the texture; the texture just gets a bit monotonous on such a large wall without anything to break it up. Using architectural details (pillars, platforms, arches, supports, etc.) as well as trims and other textures can break up the monotony.
I've tried it heaps of times, I know it'll be cool if there was that type of stuff in my map but I haven't been mapping that long.Anthem wrote:If done correctly it will look loads better on any map. Just take your time with it. Try it, and if it doesn't work out, ctrl+z and try again.
I once tried making a texture transparent with this shader script, but it didn't work:obsidian wrote:You'll need to edit the image, add an alpha channel and save as a new TGA file. Then write a shader script for your custom window. That requires a bit of background knowledge on the subject so you'll have to do lots of reading on the Shader Manual (see my signature under Q3Map2). It might be a little beyond the means of your first map, but start reading and learning, you'll probably want to know at least some of the basics eventually.

It's a problem with your screen.dichtfux wrote:Is my display broken or are all your screenshots almost completely black?
Why would I upload shots of nothing?4days wrote:was thinking it was just me, can't see a damn thing.dichtfux wrote:Is my display broken or are all your screenshots almost completely black?
It's not my monitor, mine is completely fine.monaster wrote:@Dessicated corpse: Try raising the gamma of your monitor A LOT. Apparently it is not dichfux or 4days since I have a really bright TFT screen myself (always have to remember that the scrnshts I submit here will be shown much darker to almost everyone else) and even I can't really see anything beside pitch-black environments in your pictures.
Sure. And is there a way to fix that green fog? It's annoying how it looks very thick when you step away from it and it goes lighter when you go closer to it. Is that a bug or something?Bliccer wrote:All of the screens are very dark, yes. Maybe you play in a higher r_gamma than 1.0?
For the green fog: Please show more of the hall where it is in.
I'll just keep it dense then, I don't like that idea of having one brush only.Bliccer wrote:Read this:
