We need a Quake level like this...

[ezzetabi]

I am not sure it is possible, but it would look so cool...

Sta�ned glass w�ndows light effects.

[Mr.Burns]

I seem to recall Seven leading the way with the light casting through coloured glass effect doing something similar to this on the Quake start map. Unfortunately a lot of his screenshots that were being hosted on Image shack appear to have disappeared.
if you want to implement something like this, KJSP1 could be a good candidate to start experimenting on...


@gb: Just a thought but perhaps this could also be an option for the RMQ project to add yet another level of realism>

semi-transparent glass using replacement textures is definitely possible in darkplaces!

using QRP's texture-pack for hipnotic, in the SoA start-map this glass-texture is semi-transparent

and RTlights can have cubemaps added to them to cast lighting of a texture on the ground

these are inkub0's RT-lights 2.0

so stained glass with actual lighting of the windows texture cast inside is definitely possible in darkplaces

.

also to add to what burns said:

Avanipaala Praasaada (KJSP1) is one of the best quake-maps out there imo <3
you should definitely give it a try: https://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/kjsp1.html

It is possible in any quake engine that supports RGBA replacement textures. Just put a patch mesh or a thin brush with the transparent window texture on the floor near the window and skew it until it looks right.

A cubemap is better suited to project some image across varying geometry, though, and if the engine supports them, perhaps also the easiest way.

Another thing is that realistically, if a window casts light, the adjacent wall needs to cast shadow since it blocks that light (unless that wall is itself lit by another light source.) That is a lot harder to implement without actual mapping.
