Yes.. the map untouched for almost a year now is making some progress. I'll have some screenshots posted for yas in a few days since I know people like seeing perty pictures.

I work room by room, hallway by hallway... most others work with the map layout and architecture first then do lighting later. I just can't bring myself to do that, 'cause for me... atmosphere and lighting come first. After I finish a room, I can't help but light it up... it's more fun for me.

Anyway... I just finished a hallway and will work on the next 'big room' tomorrow. If I happen to finish it, I'll try to get some screenshots up for all a yas.

Now for some of my opinions... I don't really consider e3m7 a DM map in any way, shape, or form due to how it's designed, but am making a DM version regardless. After Resurgence gets completed, I'll release a 2nd version of the map... with buttons, doors, etc. Maybe even swap out the jump pads for lifts.

Ok... hope you can finish the map a.s.a.p.

Guest... *sigh*... how interesting. Whatever, that was me if yer wondering.

Not really a big map... bigger than dm4, yea... but not really that big. I still don't think it'd be good for DM, but ya never know. I might be surprised in this area, but I guess I'll never find out till I add bot support...which is way down the road yet. It's an extremely linear map with hallways and small rooms, most of which contain one exit from the way you came in. I just like the way they cram so many monsters into the map... it's rare for q1.

ReBoOt - "you should add some other textures and the lvl needs more details."

I felt that way when I looked at the 'teleporter lava type room' on the map... it just looks too plain. I felt this way a year ago when I made that room. I'll figure something out, but that'll come later.

As for the curves, trust me... I won't use too many. I actually try to avoid them where possible. The only curves I have on the map are in locations where I believe ID intended to have a curved surface, but with the technology of the time were only able to create a slant. Well, ok... that's not entirely true. I also tossed in a few curves here and there where I thought they looked better than without them (ceiling of the lava room, ceiling of the starting location, the archways, etc etc).

looks good, and i like your sig

*Daedalus points to the little buttons under each post and the one which says Email

There's screenshots of the next room I finished in there... thing is, the looked like shit at the time. Since taking screenshots of it, I've made it look a hundred times better. Why say that? Because you're not getting updated screenshots of the area, that's why.

As for what's changed in my latest area since those screenshots... well, you won't be seeing that either. Yes, I had them all listed here... but it made this post WAY too long, haha.

As a side note... I also changed the wall texture throughout the entire map. It looks a Hell of a lot better than that bland, crappy texture I had going before.

Side note #2: I'm about half way done with the next area in line... I'll get some screenshots of that area up upon completion.

And now for a random question... anyone know of a place where I can get some different button textures? As it stands right now.. in default q3, I have one choice for a pushable button... and one choice for a shootable button. Not a very extensive list of choices if you ask me.

Anything q1-ish in style would suffice. In the original version of the map, every button is a 'Q' symbol... but who likes being that basic? Definately not me. So, I'll opt for the alternate style of buttons...




-Side note... I just about had the next area DONE when my comp decided to friggin crash. I turn off that 'autosave after every 5min thing because at times I like to take a break from mapping to chat... play a game... something other than mapping, while still leaving Radiant open. Anyway... needless to say, I'm not in the best of moods right now..seeing as how I have to do everything I've done over again. *walks off muttering random swear words under his breath*-
