I know. Right now I'm just doing the rough designing.

That last room has an R_speeds of 700 wpoly

fan room is about 600 wpoly

blue base is about 600 wpoly

corridor is about 500 wpoly

I have no func_areaportals yet.

Any way to make effective steam with the quake2 engine?

You can use the chainfist smoke entity -- that's what's used for the smoke grenades. It tends to kill the framerates on crappy computers, though, so I wouldn't advise it. There's also a way to do global fog. Search the readme for "fogd"

...how does the chainthing work?

jitspoe · « **Reply #106 on:** September 01, 2006, 03:47:42 PM »

You have to set up a timer and a tempent target entity. I can't remember offhand what the actual entity name is. Then you set the type or style or whatever it is to the number of the chainfist smoke temp ent.

oh I remember that. I thought it was red, green, and blue sparks only though?

It's going to need clutter in the end as well.

Clutter in the end will ruin the whole sci-fi look

Unless it's.... sci-fi clutter. Yes, even in the vast depths of distant outer-space, people still leave junk lying around.

I don't know if it's necessary or not, but I'm sure a little cover here and there wouldn't hurt.

Lol

I have some nice sci-fi box textures from trem as well, and I'll think of some machines and stuff to put in the middle.

And yet another screenshot

And yes, I know it is dark. It is suppsoed to be.

The sky looks bad with everything that dark. I would reccomend making it just a ceiling, or at least a night sky if it's going to be that dark.

Playah · « **Reply #113 on:** September 02, 2006, 08:29:01 AM »

no eiiii, an evening sky...

Smokey · « **Reply #114 on:** September 02, 2006, 12:39:17 PM »

adds contrast.

Just make the sky the orange sunset. It would go good.

TinMan · « **Reply #117 on:** September 03, 2006, 03:09:34 PM »

I recommend a redish-orange mars sky, like in Doom!

Wolf Man · « **Reply #118 on:** September 03, 2006, 03:14:28 PM »

Yes, that would be the orange sunset, or it would at least look similar to a mars sky

Aside from the lights and sky, the entire right half of the image is black on this monitor. This kind of lighting will put some players at a significant disadvantage.
