My guess is that those shots were taken in GZDoom, which in hardware mode isn't limited to only 256 colors.

Oh, and it looks amazing BTW!

Thx Nick, and yes, Nick is right, it is GZDoom with 32Bit Hardware Mode

@Everyone: Everything of TNT2 is finished except this last area in the middle, these containment areas. I have still no idea how to improve them and I would appreciate if some of you could give me some ideas or suggestions because I have a real mapping block on that last area

Mapping wise-hm, perhaps some ceiling lights, and maybe remove some crates in place of pillars, where they fit, because it seems like the kind of sized rooms that need some support beams in the center or thereabouts.

Gameplay wise-stealth monsters bad. STEALTH MONSTERS BAD.

Mappers block sure does suck... that's why the last 10% of any map is always the most difficult to get through.

Hm...looks like i'll need to use XWE then. Since Wintex automatically converts the pallete everytime you copy and paste something into the wad.

You know, without seeing the area in context of the whole map it is hard to make suggestions how to improve it. But these are just storage rooms after all. They don't have to be über-detailed. IMO it should be enough to match their visual style to the rest of the map without adding too much new geometry.

Well, I had rather in mind to totally rebuild them, adding some stacked sector scenery to make it look "larger"... but... well... this would take a lot of time and trickery...

Good news, TNT2 is finished

Right now I am adjusting a few areas concerning gameplay but I am very, very pleased

I hope you finish KDiZD before this =P

Well, still have to finish TNT3, adjust TNT4 and do final cleanups to all the whole compilation so this still will take some time

Now here's a question out of the wrong hat:
-Is UTNT a testament to your doom mapping career? I'd like to know please wether you'll be working on Stronghold or not.

Here's a good one!
-Will Torm ever stop using acronyms for his map titles???
