Re: Cosmic Tactical Combat Simulator

Uh, I nearly forgot about UTCS. Screenshot looking good, need to acquire some time to test it. Making good use of the new texture packages it seems? :smile:

Re: Freeway

Had a quick look, has a really nice atmosphere already! Reminds me of JK2's Nar Shaddaa quite a bit. I noticed some spaces where the floor wasn't lit properly. The floor should always be lit in some way for less eyestrain and better gameplay. Radiant doesn't start for me right now, so I can't check,...

90% alive, 10% caffeine-induced zombie state. The most productive state!

Re: Accept more bot and pk3 map

These are the bare minimum. Usually you want to give teams more buildables to start with than just the spawn points. Look at other maps to get an impression of a good starting base.

Re: Accept more bot and pk3 map

You need to place at least one Telenode (human spawn) and Egg (alien spawn) in the map.

Re: Accept more bot and pk3 map

For your second question, you can port over any Quake map but it won't work automatically by using the original pk3. You'd need to know a bit about mapping to do this.

Re: Dragoon

With the new blue eyes, I don't see much of a difference on a first glance. I assume you just cleaned them up a little? In comparison, I prefer the red eyes for greater color contrast but to be honest I dislike both version's common texture. From up close the eyes lack interesting detail. From a dis...

Re: The effort to track all unvanquished assets in repositories

What do you mean, exactly? The tex-*.pk3 packages are already dedicated texture repositories for maps. (And in my opinion they should stay like they are and not be included in some bigger release package, if that's what you were planning…)

Re: Why we need a real raytracer for lightmaps rendering

Yes, as Illwieckz just outlined, my point is that q3map2 reads .shader files to spawn lights in front of relevant surfaces. These lights are not in the .map file and not in the .bsp file either! These q3map2-spawned lights are those that are generally used while light entities are mostly used by une...
