The WIP Thread

I think you could blame how the engine works for that instead of the mappers.

You apparently missed my entire point.

Starting with a 128 brightness room, then putting in a skylight that glares down at 255 brightness, it's not going to look that great. Much better to "diffuse" the light by making the room brighter (and possibly the sky lighting dimmer, if it's a "cloudy day").

[Phobus]

I see no such thing

Look at the areas under the skylight. The areas around it are only slightly darker (light diffusion), so it creates a look of shininess rather than an insane level of brightness (as if daylight only travels in straight lines, which some mappers unfortunately sem to think).

I like the drama of high contrast sometimes, to be honest. That's usually why I do it. The high light diffusion is a nice touch as well though and another one that I've tried out on occaission. It seems to me that it's more unfortunate that some people seem to think we're slaves to reality with what we map.

An idea I wanted to try.

Needs more STARTAN3

[ChronoSeth]

Working on a HUD.



Seems a bit big, though (using Hud_Scale 1).

[Ghastly]

Spent a decent amount of time actually finishing that level system. Finally works pretty well.

I was wondering, is it okay to use original doom maps as a base? I want to make a map based on Perfect Hatred and i was wondering if i could use the base map and horribly butcher it beyond recognizition.

[InsanityBringer]

Yes, you're allowed to derive maps from id maps (see: kdizd), however, the resultant map must only run with the IWAD the map came from (excluding shareware, derived e1 maps should run on registered/ultimate doom, of course). If you derived a Doom 1 map, it could only run in Doom 1. If you derived a Doom II map, it can only run in Doom II, and ect. I think the idgames archive does forbid derived maps, but it's perfectly OK to make them.

Wait, what?

[Captain Ventris]

horribly butcher it beyond recognizition.

Honesty is good, but I don't think what you're doing is going to be THAT bad!

The few maps i made are really bad (the only GOOD one i have is horribly glitched in some places thanks to curve tool abuse) but heh, i'm training

Wait, what?

It's 8:30 in the morning and I have college classes soon.

And I'm really freaking tired

From the sounds of it, calculus class.

[Project Shadowcat]

Jebus Krust, don't remind me about Calculus!

[Deimus]

Try to fix my "halo plasma grenade" that i abandon like years ago, and ended up with something totally different.

Working on sprites and sound and purdy it up lol.

How do you control projectile direction when thrown? Right now it just "lobs" it

*Grumbles that I have Calc 2 in 50 minutes...*
