Bah, It doesnt look like Doom 3 at all. If the upped the size of the textures and revamped the water more and just made everything sharper then itd be closer.

I read about this On Planetquake the other day

humm...

No, Ive played Tenebrae though, sound is choppy on my pc, and all textures look shiny- doesnt make grassy textures look good. For some reason, tenebrae seems to reduce texture quality.

Although it does have some cool effects

Tenebrae:
Reduce quality withouth the extra packs that add bumpmaping textures that is the cool thing. Go for the qe1retexturing project pack.

it has some cool effects, but has some major detriments (mainly resource hog)

Ignore him, he's just out to bash non-Unreal and non-Half-Life stuffs, he's never said anything positive for anything Quake.

And as for Tenebrae, that's gotta be the most embarrassing decision to make for a modder. Not only because it's not supported by mods, but it's slow and unoptimized.

Far from it, I just see these souped up Quake pictures and the main thing that lets it down is boggy brown enviroments with shiny brown walls with 16 x 16 px textures

Show me a nice light level with clear walls, like as_oilrig

See that framerate counter? For a simple scene like this it's obvious that Penta himself doesn't know what he's doing.

Jebus, I actually though that was Doom 3 shot until I saw the FPS counter :o

Yah, Darkplaces can do all that with a much, much better framerate, it's just that LordHavoc isn't interested in showcasing the features with special maps tooled for it.

Btw, he'll have both q3a and q1 map support at once, while Tenebrae will have to drop q1 map support and it reveals more to the fact Penta is dumb.

Icculus.org

But I dont like its maps, I want maps like the one in that picture

Thats the kind of thing I mean, look at the green bricky walls, look how undetailed that texture looks, sure its shiny but its not sharp or detailed, why?

Texture hasn't been altered at all, that's where retexturing projects come in.

There are a few out there. Rearch for q1 retexturing project.

Cant you hook me up with a link? I know jack about the Quake community.

Quake.cz

Well im downloading The new tenebrea mod now (the industia thing) and that texture thing seems overcomplex, Ill pass.

The way those textures are looking crap is the fault of tenebrae, i dunno why it is though, and as i said before, shiny grass doesnt look good.

I thought industri wasnt released yet?

Charles deletes my suggestion mails when Tenebrae was on the rise. He doesn't seem to like me...

The map in the screenshot you posted, who made it, where can I get it?

Its a shot of the willy halmes testmap2, its not playable. I suggest downloading industri if your comp is good enough.

The link for willy halmes stuff is in the tenebrae page at
tenebrae.sourceforge.net

I love the flash light in industri, also the darkness goes to far, I cant see much :/

Tried to download it yesterday, stupid connection disconnected.

*me goes to try again

.

Its not worth it really, bit to dark.
