One problem I always had with these switches is that there is no obvious mechanism to them; I have no idea what the Doomguy is doing to actually turn them on. So I figured I'd make that aspect just a bit more obvious...Enjay wrote:

Re: Custom Texture Thread.
Heh, I remember wondering if he jabbed the eye "switch" in the eyeball to operate it, and if so, how the closed-to-open version was supposed to work.
Re: Custom Texture Thread.
It could just be like one of those touch-the-metal-bits-to-activate lamps. I've got one of them at home but it doesn't look like a gargoyle.
Actually, I never really thought about a mechanism for them before. My guess is it would be something a bit secret, like you have to find a small, almost unnoticeable push-button behind one of the ears or something.
Or maybe they're just magic.

I always thought of them as kind of a big button. Like they indent a little but not too much to be overly noticeable. Maybe a centimeter or so.

Maybe they sense Life when they're touched and turn on or off

Re: Custom Texture Thread.
Okay, I'll be honest, it's not so much the mechanism I'm worried about, but the mental image of Doomguy yanking on a giant statue tongue to get a door to open just has me in giggles.
...That, and the texture in question looked like a happy dog and I had to oblige it.
(Hey, if anybody uses my texture in your map, make sure it comes equipped with an appropriate squishy noise, okay? =P)

No, it will be the generic SHTEMP switch soundwildweasel wrote: (Hey, if anybody uses my texture in your map, make sure it comes equipped with an appropriate squishy noise, okay? =P)
Re: Custom Texture Thread.
Mmmm, a nice slobbery "big dog licking" sound would seem to be appropriate.

TEKGREN version of the second set of SHAWN-based textures:

Re: Custom Texture Thread.
I just discovered these Starwars and Alien-themed textures for a couple of unfinished Doom mods through some random Googling.
Re: Custom Texture Thread.
Nice. Most of them are a bit too... actually, I don't know what the style is. I want to say cartoony or Wolfenstein-like. But, yes, they are a bit too [insert suitable word here] for general Doom use but they could be useful as a base for something and in a TC of that style (eg an Astrostein or Blake Stone - like mod (something that I have been toying with for a while)) they could be very useful.
Re: Custom Texture Thread.
Agreeing with Enjay; they look too clean and pristine for Doom. They're not gritty enough. Also, being very clean textures, they will not play well with the software renderer's brightness banding.
Re: Custom Texture Thread.
Actually, a select few could work just right as-is. It wouldn't be too hard to give the rest some additional grittiness with some overlay-based fudging.
