HD textures for SP-maps!

[Blood Vengeance]

Wow, thanks Icaro, sorry for not having uploaded yet the texture pack for AD_lavatomb but i'm very busy lately (anyway 99% is composed of Talisa Textures that she made for Unforgiven and Something Wicked, DKT textures, so nothing made by me, only compiled to make things easier)

[Mugwump]

Is anyone working on DOPA, by any chance? I'm about to beta-test BV's new RTlights for it and I wanted to see if there was a HD pack but I don't see any here.

Edit: Hmmm, nevermind, I just found Moon[Drunk]'s add-on here:

Talisa, maybe you should add the link to the list.

[talisa]

DOPA uses only 2 unique textures, except for that it uses only ID1 textures

and the two textures that are normally missing arent even unique textures,
both are just simply renamed copies of plat_top1

[Mugwump]

Moon[Drunk]'s add-on actually also has a light1_2.tga as well as the 3 corresponding norms. Still, it would be more handy for people to have it listed here rather than browsing the forums or replacing those themselves.

[talisa]

great work so far gwyn, those normals look gorgeous <3
keep it up, that looks really good so far!

im looking forward to see what you can do to make my IKblue textures truely shine with some fancy normals

[Mr.Burns]

Hi there,
By any chance, does anyone have a HD version of the complete Aerowalk and/or Basewalk textures they would be willing to share please? I have found about 4-5 textures from the QRP which make a huge difference but there's another 6-10 textures that are missing.

Kind regards

Monty

@mr burns
regarding aerowalk, all i have is this: Zippyshare.com - map_aerowalk.zip
think they were made by.... moondrunk?

.

@ gwyn
you're welcome

yeah the brick textures are mostly just edits of QRP textures so they could be made by editing QRP's normals

however there's also a lot of unusual textures in the IKblue and IKwhite texture-sets.

try looking up pics of arabian/persian (before namechange) AKA Iranian temples
if you want to get an idea of what kinda materials the textures are supposed to look like.

especially regarding the lattice and pillar textures its a good idea to look up what kinda materials they are supposed to be.
they're supposed to look like the decorative window-decorations they have in their temples

[Mugwump]

Just wanted to let you guys know I've been working on some _norm textures for the IKBlue series.

There's already a pack of norms for IKWhite. Since one is simply a recolor of the other, wouldn't these also work with IKBlue?

[Seven]

I'm using paint.net.

I use Paint.Net for all texture edits myself but not for normals.

I've tried using CrazyBump and a few other "fully automated" programs/plugins but I couldn't get the results that I wanted.

CrazyBump has a LOT of adjustment possibilites. It is hard to believe that you cannot get good result with it. Most of the normals that you see here in this forum have been done with it. You should mabye give it more time and study. The preview function with dynamic/adjustable lights as well as the option to create _gloss textures is amazing.

Here's a screenshot showing a few of the ones I have made so far

The floor looks like qrp textures.

note: I have r_glsl_offsetmapping_scale 0.1 so the effect is a bit exaggerated):

You know that the default value for r_glsl_offsetmapping_scale is 0.04.
If you ever want to share your work with others you should use this setting for your normals development. As many of the regular users do not even know how to change the default value and will have too weak visuals.
But maybe I misunderstood your sentence and you only temporary used 0.1 for the screenshot ?

what you can do to make my IKblue textures

Why are they your textures ? You didnt create them as far as I can see. QRP and other sources from the internet. You also didnt include credits for the authors, which is not nice. QRP requests this. Read about it here: :: Quake Revitalization Project :: FAQ ::

They are up and available at Moon[Drunk]�s homepage together with several other fan made maps: Moon[Drunk]s Quake Graphics

Mr. Burns,
If they are not complete, please contat Moon[Drunk]. He will be happy to complete them for sure.

Best wishes.

[Mugwump]

No, it's a separate .pk3, I thought it would be listed here under Avanipaala Praasaada but apparently not. I don't remember where I got it. The pack is called IKWhite-Normal maps-v1.0.pk3. If you can't find it and Talisa can't help (which would be surprising), I could upload it for you tomorrow.

[Mr.Burns]

Thank you very much Talisa and Seven

@BFG666
normal-maps for IKwhite? are you talking about the ones blood vengeance mentioned here?
http://quakeone.com/forums/quake-mod...tml#post168697

if so, afaik he never publically released those?
and if you do have them you most likely got them from BV himself in a pm

.

also in regards to using IKwhite normals to create IKblue normals: yes and no
for the basic IKblue and IKwhite texture-sets this is true, all IKwhite textures from killjoy's texture-set are recolored IKblue textures

but when it comes to the extended IKwhite and IKblue texture-sets like used in Sidhe's Dorghael Arhlannen and mapjam2,
both of those extended texture-sets have a lot of unique textures which arent shared by the other pack

especially if you get around to doing normals for the texture-sets that are used in mapjam2,
both of the extended texture-sets used in mapjam2 have a shit-load of unique textures that arent shared by the other set

@seven
just... im sorry, but shut the hell up.... thats just bullshit.

just cuz i used resources to create those textures that makes the hundreds of hours i put into creating all those textures suddenly null?

guess you didnt create the entirety of the SMC either if we go by your logic.
you used models and textures made by others, so you didnt create the entire mod.

that SMC mod by ID, dawn of darkness team, raven software, capnbubs, teamonster, jakub (among many) sure is awesome!
they did an awesome job on that mod! .....oh, that seven guy? he didnt do jack shit, those other people made the mod.

let me guess, just reading that made you angry and sad cuz you poured hundreds of hours into the QC and such, only to hear someone say you didnt do jack shit.
yeah... thats exactly how i felt when i read your comment about my work not being mine cuz i used resources

please dont say stuff like that, that hurts, to act like someone didnt pour hundreds of hours of work into making something awesome out of love for the game and sharing it for free.

.

also, you know i think its important to give credits where credits are due.

some of my earlier HD texture-packs dont contain credits cuz it either slipped my mind,
i simply forgot to document where i got my resources from and which were used,
or sometimes because i used so much different resources that i forgot which ones i used

ill look some time into documenting the resources used in those older texture-packs and adding them

[Mugwump]

Yes, that must be it. As you know, I'm currently beta-testing some RTlights for him and Avanipaala Praasaada is one of them, so he probably sent me the normals at the same time. They look good. If he hasn't released them yet, I won't share them without his blessing. Sorry Gwyn, you're gonna have to wait a while...

IKWhite/IKBlue/extended: I recently played the IKSPQ series while still having the IKWhite norms in \id1 and they do work. So Gwyn, if you still want to work on these, you should focus on the extended set instead. But you should ask BV first, in case he's already taking care of it.

[Mugwump]

I'd use CrazyBump to start off with, then edit and tweak in paint.net as I see fit.

I believe that's how Blood Vengeance does it.

On hostility: I don't know what crept up Seven's butt, he's usually a pretty cool guy.

[Blood Vengeance]

Of course you can release them, it would be great: my dropbox is almost full, even if they aren't big files (they're in jpg). Anyway they're generated with crazybump, so they're are not of very high quality but at least when you play with rtlights you clearly see the difference
