Beautiful .lit maps
Beautiful .lit maps
Know of any?
And I mean BSP29 + lit file, none of this halflife shite
Yeah I am aware of MHColour but what I want to check out are maps that really (ab)use colored lighting in their design.

Re: Beautiful .lit maps
Here's a little test map I did a while back for testing light properties in qflight. It doesn't make heavy use of colored lights, but it happens to be moderately playable as a small deathmatch map.
Leave others their otherness.

gb is doing some gorgeous-looking stuff.
It's using the RMQ BSP format but the basic principles can apply to any engine or format.

Any that abuse the color green?
I'm looking for the fruity kind of lighting ala Unreal, basically 'ugly' lit maps that don't even dare respect the Quake palette
i'm just curious how bad it'll fringe in a 8bpp renderer

Re: Beautiful .lit maps
Romi's rtlights for Quake have a lot of green on E1M1 in the last 1/3 of the map.
Re: Beautiful .lit maps
I don't remember which level it is off-hand, but one of the upper paths in my map takes you to the GL, which is lit with a green spotlight. I think it's the very top (there's a small platform elevator in the tunnels clockwise from the waterfall room).leileilol wrote:Any that abuse the color green?

BTW, did you find the quad and pent?
Your renderer's done quite a nice job on the lava room

Yes, but it looks overly bright considering there are just a few candles.mh wrote:gb is doing some gorgeous-looking stuff.

Torches, actually. It's hard to see from that perspective, and the default torch models suck. The shot isn't the best example of intense coloured light though.negke wrote:Yes, but it looks overly bright considering there are just a few candles.mh wrote:gb is doing some gorgeous-looking stuff.
The thing is that the light gets clamped at 255, so if any coloured lights go above that, very weird stuff can happen to the colour of your wall textures.
Ricky's e2m1rq has pretty intense orange-ish lights, and Altar of Storms has those greenish-blueish ones.
Abuse of coloured lights, like what leilei is looking for, is usually stigmatized among level designers though so you're unlikely to find it in anything by high profile Quake mappers.
I suggest creating a testmap, quite simply.
Re: Beautiful .lit maps
TomazQuake had a zoo/example/test map iirc. It had really funky rainbow colors.

Re: Beautiful .lit maps
"Fantasy in Olive Green" The Quake palette is pretty big on blue, yellow, and two slightly different shades of lavender for some reason, but is giving up only weak baby-food peas green that is perfect for snotty slime and dead moss but not that nice lime radioactive glow.leileilol wrote:Any that abuse the color green?

Try LordHavoc's Entitytest map: http://icculus.org/twilight/darkplaces/ ... tytest.zip
Also good for seeing how well you cope with moving sky brushes and many many instances of the same mdl.
