both are darkmod tex. Whats wrong with the bumpmap? I think they look fine. Not that there is strong lighting in that view anyway.

It looks like an automatically generated normalmap through something like crazybump. The cracks between the bricks are recognized somewhat fine, but if you look a little closer, the stones are wavy and show varying smoothness and depth. This is especially noticeable at steeper vieweing angles.

Here a more light shot of this texture from exterior, in my opinion this is really a great texture because it realy work well with lights, if the textures where more deep i really not use it.

 

All work is very WIP for now, and the castle its in some kind on a stage of decay, where some strange experiences took place. Its not abandoned, but some areas will be closed to guests, and some areas will be cursed where some activity research will be on...and other areas completly closed to anyone.

 

Thats my idea, lets see if i can put it in the mission.

Never underestimate the players skills :P

 

Now, it's just that loading times are faster that way and I have a very limited connection speed. :blush:

hehe its fine, I may skip this contest. I don't have enough free time or more importantly the motivation to build a new mission atm.

  • As it is I am getting close to releasing the tweaked and 1.08 updated version of Alberics curse, which along with Business as Usual also has new places to explore, difficulty level and eye candy..
  • Then ERH and myself are just applying the finishing touches to the massively updated and improved Crystal grave.
  • And then I have Elixir which, still needs the half built manor finishing and nbohrmore to flesh out his awesome storyline for it.
  • Then there is the mission I'm working on with Baal, the most is mostly built, we are just working on an extension to the map to help flesh out the story a tad.
  • When all of the above is done I have the White-Rose to try and work on along with a story and objectives.
  • And the lastly the continued work on the campaign, recently of which Fidcal has built and awesome machine which is a site to behold!

Lol...I was thinking exactly the same. Its not the same visual impact, but for the health of your connection and with some research of the forum options i think i could do that.

Well, this is in fact a thread for presenting wip-screenshots. If you don't want to see screenshots, just don't visit this thread. It's as easy as that! :)

The lighting is very good, especially in the second and third shot, with the projection of moonlight! Looking forward to your finished map. :)

Come the time of peril, did the ground gape, and did the dead rest unquiet 'gainst us. Our bands of iron and hammers of stone prevailed not, and some did doubt the Builder's plan. But the seals held strong, and the few did triumph, and the doubters were lain into the foundations of the new sanctum. -- Collected letters of the Smith-in-Exile, Civitas Approved

Thanks guys for the kind words :-). I've gotten the section where I took those screenshots pretty much up to beta-testing quality (I think), and I'm wondering if anyone would want to do me a favor and take a look at it once the last few bugs are worked out. It represents about 1/3rd of the final planned level, but since I'm new at this I'm worried that there's something big that I've overlooked that will hurt the map down the road, especially performance-related issues.

But you should walk having internal dignity. Be a wonderful person who can dance pleasantly to the rhythm of the universe.

      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?
