jakub's RT lights experiment

[jakub1]

hi talisa

thanks for your kind words. of course, there are two reasons why level dorgheal arhlannen looks so good:
1st - the level itself is beautifully designed
2nd - hires textures made by you helped a lot

my rtlights are just a small finishing touch.

there is a small surprise at the bottom of the 1st post - rtlights for another quoth level - I Pity Thee Not. i like all the levels you suggested (and they are waiting in the pipeline together with many others) but wanted to try something different this time. luckily, it didn't take another year to finish another level. prepare for some runic experience.

just checked out your RTlights for dorgheal arhlannen....


they look absolutely gorgeous! love what you did with the gold and blue RT lights,
they give a lovely contrast between each area and adds some variety.

.

you should totally make RTlights for more ikblue/ikwhite maps!

like it would be absolutely awesome to have RTlights for func_mapjam2: https://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/func_mapjam2.html
especially skacky's map or sock's map from that mapjam i love


or Iikka Keränen's original IKblue map-set https://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/?...2+Ker%C3%A4nen


or maybe you could make RTlights for Tronyn's Arcanum episode? <3

cataractnacon transparent textures fix

hi there, i've made a small darkplaces fix for cataractnacon. more info at end of the first post.

enjoy

[jakub1]

thanks ericw, i didn't know darkplaces has such feature. at first i didn't know what you meant but now i tried it and the result is great.

edit
i updated the fix pack - pink fringes are gone. link in the first post leads to the updated file.

[ericw]

Hey, cool stuff - fyi I found that darkplaces has a built-in algorithm for removing those pink fringes that are visible in the "after" screenshot.
Just run "fixtrans textures/telefragged/*.tga" from the console, and it will process all of the tga's to remove the fringes. iirc, it saves them to the same directory where DP writes savegames / screenshots etc.

Yeah! Jakub you're a hero! I'll test them immediately!

yes, but some of the levels are really big. it should have been ready for christmas, but... well, you know how it goes. everything takes longer than expected. no worry, i will finish it.

Great to hear, take your time of course, we'll gladly wait longer for a better release

[jakub1]

Great work. Are you still working on RTlights for nehahra?

Jakub1, totally astonishing work! Astounding revitalizing and renewal of the old, almost forgotten maps! Pure magic, badassery and beauty!

Is there any chance we could incorporate small mods like these into the archives served by QuakeInjector / Quaddicted? That would get more people (relatively) experiencing this retrofitted content.
