Switch to 32 bit plz. Kthx.

[DOOM_GOAT]

The first corona has burned a hole through my monitor and into the wall. I demand some form of compensation.

[Danimetal]

Light casting floors are a must for this kind of mapping... At least for that green slime :).
Something about seeing little triangles representing dummy sectors is cool to me... Anyway, this may be a stupid question but... Is this a map?. A Megawad?. A TC?... I mean, some info about this would be cool to keep us informed :).

[PumpkinSmasher]

It's a megawad, surprised you haven't heard of it, there are lots of posts about it in the fourms, and i ramble about it on my webpage quite a bit.

I'm sorry about the hole in your Monitor Doom_Goat. Tell me what you want for compensation and I'll see what I can do.

[Hurdler]

You should definitely take screenshots in 32 bits mode, dynamic lighting and coronas would look much better (even it's way too slow on your computer) ;)

[PumpkinSmasher]

It runs slow as shit, Literally about 2 FPS. I'll take the screenshtos on a different computer next time so it'll look better.

[Doom_Dude]

I think in the 2nd screen you should make 2 sectors and place the midspace grate texture in between (think window but with lower and higher ceiling and floor).... so have the 'window' 8 units above the floor and 8 below the ceiling with the grate in the middle. That's what I do with all my grate-ish see through jobbies. Then again thats up to you. Otherwise keep up the good work. ;)

[PumpkinSmasher]

These are all 32 bit and 1024 x 768. Since they are big I linked them instead of posting them.

Screen 000 Needs some detail on that wall opposite the window. Screen 001 looks good to me. :) Screen 002 same thing I said before. You don't have to do that of course. Screen 003 Where is it? Screen 004 I like the nukage tube jobbies and the little 3d lights.

[Aliotroph?]

Can you show us a shot of the thing you do DD? I know what you mean to correct but I can't visualize it, so I bet others might not know either.

The only thing I can find wrong with the last one is the texture alignment, but that's an easy fix. It would look cool in that area if you made the lighting contrast a lot, eg. bright areas under the 3D lights and darker in other areas.

[PumpkinSmasher]

i know the textures on the right side need aligned. I like your idea alio of making it really bright underneath the lights. i may try that and see how it looks.

I hope this isn't too dark but anyhow...

I make two long sectors, raise them slightly and also lower the ceiling and use the middle linedef for the bars. You don't have to raise / lower the ceil floor like a window but as long as the bars don't follow the same line as the wall I think it looks better.

[Aliotroph?]

Yeah, thought that's what you were up to DD. I always do something like that too.

BTW, what is that shot DD? It almost looks like it could be part of DooM Zephyr. :D

[PumpkinSmasher]

no if it was from zephyr, you'd see cool green lighting coming off of the slime.

My screenshots look better than that. The flats aren't even aligned with the map in that picture. That is one ugly screenshot/map.

Its just a test wad I made and it's only 2 rooms.

[PumpkinSmasher]

i did what you said DD. I only raised the floor up 8 units, and lowered the ceiling 8 units. But your right it does look a little better.

OMG QUOTE ABUSE!

That screenshot looks fanastic Frades! It's simply the best looking doom level I have ever seen! You are truly a mapping genius! exclamation mark!

[iori]

Actually, I like the off center flats Frades. They look so...rebellious. Fight the power man! NONCONFORM!!!!!11eleven.

[PumpkinSmasher]

After looking at the screenie again I think that is the best map I've ever seen. I would love to include it in Zephyr if you don't mind.

[Frades]

I'm glad you like it because i worked so hard on that to make it look good. It's a rather small map so i'm sure you can find a place to put it in there. This is where you can reach it: http://www.teamhellspawn.com/lpg/temp/pumpkins.wad

[iori]

I just love your maps, Frades. When you take a Rebel, Doom Builder w/o 3d mode, and a lot of creativity, you get one great, solid package ;). Your texuring is so...Wow. It's like there's a party in my sourceport, and every map's invited!

[DOOM_GOAT]

I want his children.

[Exl]

I want all of your children.

[iori]

You can have mine. They're all aliens.

[DOOM_GOAT]

Deal.

[Planky]

As long as I get to keep rellik, go for it

*dark*

[Doom_Dude]

This really went to seed.

[PumpkinSmasher]

I just thought I'd let everyone know that level 3 of Doom Zephyr is now finished.

[Doom_Dude]

Does that mean you have 3 maps done or do you skip around like I do. ;)

Glad your advancing with Zephyr.

[PumpkinSmasher]

well i do only have 3 maps finished, but i have been skipping around, i just don't consider any of the other four maps i'm working on finished, or anywhere close.
