Bikerdude: Be advised that CGTextures doesn't allow the redistribution of texture packs, only as a component of full games and levels.

 

...anyway, I don't have a Microsoft login, so I can't download it. :laugh:

Some of the textures came out very well, but unfortunately the lowest res ones (Brick textures @1024*512) didnt come out so well. ST is trying to find the hi-res originals, but if he dosent I will go a-hunting on the web.

Just use the picture in google picture search. It works really well!!

 

Gonna have to check that demolevel out later, too.

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

If they are from CGtextures, they should be relatively easy to find.

Is there a way to download this demo mission without a Microsoft login? I tried to create one, but after some ten failed attempts, gave up on it.

It still asks for a Microsoft account, unfortunately. :(

Thank you, both! I tried the map, too. I like some of the textures, such as that arch, or some of the ruined-looking stuff. We don't need brick textures at 512*256, though; that's suitable for smaller ornaments, but not really good for bricks.

 

The normals could benefit from being a bit deeper (play around with scale settings), and with a bit less fine-grain noise (lower fine detail or add a bit of blur). For example:

 

low_brick_wall_old_local.jpg

 

low_brick_wall_old_local2.jpg

 

The roundedness of the stones comes out much better; the cracks look proper and the upper rim is nice and round. The noise in your normal comes from colour variance, which the app interpretes as a height difference, when it's not really one. Basically, it is a matter of minor adjustments, which makes for a minute's work in NJob. Someone like Serpentine could do better (and for fine stone ornaments,it is more hit or miss), but for the amount of work, you are getting good returns.

I was about to ask how you did this, but then I figured it out, I should have converted the TGAs from diffusemap tp heightmap then to normalmap and I then get the gorgeous result as per your post.

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
