@Morpheus. TBH I kinda agree with what you are saying. I wasn't sure about using ashwall but it grew on me over time. The thing is most of this level is made up of pale green/gray/silver textures, and it really needs those darker borders between floor and walls and ceiling, or everything just blurs into this washed out green/gray mess. And ashwall looked better than anything else I could find in the stock Doom2 textures. Like Super Jamie said, I kinda think it does bring a nice contrast, breaks up the straight lines a little.

DON'T EVER BE AFRAID TO USE ASHWALL

[Kyka]

Had a quick play through the episode, DuckRecon. And I gotta say, I liked it. It was really quirky, I can see why some people thought it was a jokewad, but there was a good 4 minutes of deceptively good gameplay there. :P The baron/barrel thing was clever. Good ammo/health balance too lol.

And I learned that ASHWALL + Spectre = nasty surprise.

[Shanoa]

People probably think 1 textures only = jokewad lol

[Khorus]

From a few map wad for choco that shouldn't be too far from release.

EDIT: zomg erik.

[Shanoa]

Another screenshot of my 2nd map. Marble themed for most part.




Of course i'll add the detailing at the end.

[printz]

Lower the fluorescent brightness, please. What looks better for a desolate place? Something bright or something dim?

[edit] @Nomad. I really liked those screenies as well. The only thing I wasn't a big fan of was the big-gold-bling-wand-thing protruding from the bottom of the screen. :P The layout looks good tho. [/edit]

Thanks, heh. That's a custom weapon we're using for the project, but I don't really like the sprites either. We'll probably use something else later on, so it's just kind of a placeholder for now. :)

That's a pretty sweet shot!

Hmm. Could use a little more contrasting patches on the walls; for example in the far side of the room, the raised floor blends in with the far wall above it. Either the outer wall or the lower texture of the raised part needs a different texture so they appear separate! The green sky looks pretty awesome though.

You're right. I'll lower and post pics later.

[Shanoa]

Double-post sorry.

Followed Printz tips on lowering light. Here's a screenshot.

Erik: TeaserZ!? Heh...
Archvile78: Lighting is much better this time around.
Arrrgh: Cool shot, first thoughts were Scythe 2's later maps and The Mucus Flow.

...and ASHWALL is semi-godly in the right hands...**

[Shanoa]

Thanks, it will be this lightning tone in every outside area of the map. Area inside will have darker light obviously. I'll post more pics/update within the next day.

Is that an existing level or something... new?

I'm guessing he is doing Scythe 2 justice and is finishing the remaining 3 maps.

To all those concerned; don't quote images. Quoting one thumbnail may be alright, but not anything bigger nor a bunch of thumbnails. To still point to the picture you are talking about, edit the IMG tags to URL tags so the image is still linked to in your quote.

[Patrick]

Yes this is doom, and yes this is a secret project. If you have any questions direct them to my secretary (Maes)

[Butts]

Damn this thread has been active.

Patrick, that looks intense. I want to play!

But Never, Ever let it fall into the wrong hands.

Or feed it after midnight.

[arrrgh]

More pics of my map, hopefully the texture changes will bring out the raised-floor parts a bit more.


I started on a map like this because I like the theme(and green) and hadn't seen many maps like this. Mmmmmm, vines.
BTW, the green sky is just a recoloured E4 sky.

Yeah sorry that slipped my mind. I was expecting to see the 'dumbass' picture when I thought about it, lol.

Whoa, that is sweet. I've had a similar idea, sort of, for a horror wad. If anyone has played the Afraid of Monsters mod for Half Life, they'll know what I'm talking about!

That does look better. Keep it up. :)

[Super Jamie]

Something I'm working on. Critique encouraged.

[Dreadopp]

It looks pretty nice so far, Super Jamie. In the first shot, the walls seem a little bit bare. I am also not a fan of how ASHWALL is being used in shot 2, but that's just me. Anyway, keep up the good work, it looks promising. :)

[Super Jamie]

Good point about bare walls, I'll put up some caution signs. Thanks :)

Kyka uses ASHWALL for the same thing, and it seems to draw polarised reactions. Can you think of a better alternative? Maybe STONE2? Just thinking, if I added a shitheap of verticies I could even match the mortar lines of STONE2 with the tile lines of the METAL1 floor. Would that be better?

[Kyka]

Hey Super Jamie. I gotta say, I totally agree with Dreadopp. The lower half of that screenie looks good, but the walls n ceiling do look a bit plain. I was thinking instead of a border, you could perhaps have some air vents or signs something attached to where the ceiling meets the walls, to break it up a bit. An example sort of what I mean here. (Thanks Dutch Devil, hope you don't mind I used this screenie as an example. Great looking level btw.)

The second screenie looks really good. Very Classic Doom sort of feel.

In regards to matching the lines with the METAL1 floor, try COMPSPAN. I have a feeling that the lines may line up (32 units wide). I seem to recall that this has worked for me before. And it might save you having to put in heaps of little linedefs.

[edit]though COMPSPAN might be too dark gray. The Stone texture would probably match better with the colors of the METAL1 floor. Probably worth seeing anyway.[/edit]
