SCREENSHOTS "I use Tenebrae" (Seriously)

[gl0wskull]

I feel that Tenebrae often gets hated on, but its the port I use to play single player (and bot deathmatch) more than any other.

I spent ages getting all these textures and skins working. As you can see I still admire the atmosphere of Quake after all these years, so I tried to keep all replacements as faithful as possible.

Enjoy my screen dump!

[=peg=]

Some sweet screenies for sure (and no, i don't mean the pr0n popups ) however, i don't like how everything looks like it's wrapped in plastic.. That shiny doom3 look is nice on metallic surfaces, but not on stone/brick walls and crates etc..

Very nice looking shots. The lightmapping does need refinement. I wish Lordhavoc would do some fine tuning of the rtl and lightmapping capabilities of darkplaces. I miss the fog of Telejano, too.

I didn't get any sex ads, you might wanna check your spyware and delete sexdial.exe off your desktop! lol


jk...

ya i don't wanna look at pictures where I have to swim thru virtual poon, your tenebrae looks slick tho!

[Fragger]

The monster skins look familiar

I also use Tenebrae, but cann't figure out how to get the skins working with it.

Yes, I use those sames skins.

Some advise would be much appreciated, just as much as I appreciate those skins !

[eieio]

umm...ya, thanks for putting that on some site that pops up porn. esp great since im at work.

[le_dartagnan]

Found how to make it work:

rename them : *.mdl_0.tga (* = the name f.e. dog.mdl_0.tga)

Put the skins in :

C:\Quake\Tenebrae\Override\Progs

and run the game.

It wasn't exactly porn, but still, quaketastic.com would have been better.

I think speculars are overdone, like in every modern game.

Ten years from now, we'll look back and say "boy, they sure overdid bumpmapping and specular mapping", just like Quake 2 overdid colored lighting.

edit: those shots have all three symptoms :-P

edit2: It looks as if someone sprayed nail polish all over it.

[tical]

the porn shots? or the screen shots?

[golden_boy]

the screen shots :-E

I didn't pay much attention to the "porn" shots, since they all seemed to be pretty normal girls in underwear, and I thought, what's so nsfw about that?

Are there other versions of the "porn" shots?

The "porn" shots could do with some bumpmapping and specular, for sure.

ad blocker and pop up blockers come to mind ... and i think you people lie when u say u hated having to see porn

I disagree; everything should be shiny and 3dish everybody likes shiny stuff! I think the stone walls need to be more metallic with a reflective shine, maybe even marbleized metallic.. That would give people playing offline an advantage of seeing whats behind them.. in certain spots especially where monsters pop up everywhere.

Sorry for the popups guys, but when I went through the process of using that host they specifically said that any ads would be completely safe and non pornographic. I would never intentionally use a nsfw host.

Glad some of you liked the shots. I understand all your other points about being too shiny, plastic or over bump mapped.. but it really boils down to personal taste I guess.

The green moss covered walls of the necropolis and gloom keep look great in my eyes, as do most of the stone/metal textures. Sadly, things like grass areas ect suffer from plastic/glue syndrome. Astro turf anyone?
