Gez Posted January 13, 2015 Is the wall lighting gradiented? Looks darker at the top and bottom than in the middle. 0 Share this post Link to post

scifista42 Posted January 13, 2015 Linguica said:messing around with the source code a little (note wall lighting)There's some constraining trick in it, right? Like that it will only work on 128 tall walls on a flat level, or something like that? I suppose that it would be impossible to make such a code work in all wads (and look any good), and I suspect that what we see here is a fixed dim according to a height level. 0 Share this post Link to post
TwinBeast Posted January 14, 2015 Linguica: Cool, I thought I'd try to have some light fades on walls. No idea if I have the skills to do it... I tried a new palette with more colors/fewer shades, but maybe it kinda sucked when it was dark. Toned down the overbrightness. Tried some palette effect for the IR/Night vision. Also now it uses the extralight effect, but maybe that's not going to work in multiplayer? Is the extralight visible to one player or everyone? 0 Share this post Link to post

Did you think the christmas color scheme was an accident? :) 0 Share this post Link to post
LigH Posted January 14, 2015 I read somewhere, long ago, that humans can best tell apart many different color shades close to a bluegreen hue. I wonder if that dates back to times when life came from the ocean... 0 Share this post Link to post

No, it's because the wavelength of bluegreen light is in the middle of our perceivable color spectrum, therefore all 3 types of cone cells are stimulated by it to some extent, and it's the sensitivity peak for rod cells too. With colors on the left and on the right of the spectrum, typically only 1 type of cone cell is stimulated, one less so, and one almost not at all.

Katamori Posted January 14, 2015 Jimi, the way you're experimenting with color palettes is just awesome! Also, additional pics for Uplink. Note: all the crates are moving. 1 Share this post Link to post

Katamori Posted January 14, 2015 LigH, scifista, I think this sky is comparably OK, since it depicts the homogenous infinity of the virtual space you're in. Can't see how a sky texture would be better, but if you can provide something fitting, then I'm open for that. :D 0 Share this post Link to post
LigH Posted January 14, 2015 If there is a purpose to obviously display a virtual reality, then an unusual sky makes sense to me easily. 0 Share this post Link to post
Memfis Posted January 14, 2015 I agree that it needs an unusual sky but still think that a more sky-like texture could be used. That one just screams "look at me, I'm a flat wall with no feel of depth whatsoever!". Maybe wait for btsx3 and steal the this one. 0 Share this post Link to post

For me it looks like a placeholder sky, since the map in the screenshot is a e1 map (i think). 0 Share this post Link to post

I don't think so, because I don't remember either the architecture, or those crate textures to appear in BTSX E1. Or am I wrong? EDIT: Your point about a placeholder sky might be true, though - but all I do is unknowing guessing. 0 Share this post Link to post

TwinBeast Posted January 14, 2015 Katamori: You could try mixing/overlaying compblue, tekwall4 with some of the sky textures, or something like that. Xaser: Nice uhh.. building, didn't make me feel like it had anything to do with Satan. I thought the crosses looked like swords.. and the coloring of the building/scene makes me think of the berserk pack. So I think it's some kind of extreme medical facility. It seems I've stopped seeing inverted symbols as signs of evil. If I stand on my hands, then it's no longer inverted, or if I tilt my head sideways. Is there some universal XYZ? You'd have to invert the symbol on the universal Z axis in a device that keeps it inverted on that axis even if the planet/whatever spin around its local axis and the sun, etc. 0 Share this post Link to post

Well, not quite everything, but Travers did modify Underground Initiations quite a bit in the time between the first screenshot and the public release. (And continued to do so even after that! :P) It was originally designed with E3's darker purple sky in mind, but conceptually it was best suited to the first episode. And yeah, the old E3 "purple/blue techwall recolor" sky was a placeholder that's since been replaced. It's still purple and techy though! 0 Share this post Link to post

Blastfrog Posted January 14, 2015 Interesting, another Doom alpha/bible attempt? What engine are you running it on? That screen I posted earlier was nothing more than a rough concept piece for a HUD, I don't really have any intentions of starting a new TC of that sort any time soon. I'd like to but there are two other games that need my attention these days regarding their development. 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest Unregistered account Posted January 14, 2015 I always thought the Doom Alphas had an extremely cool atmosphere, at least the first time I saw them (here) Nice work! 0 Share this post Link to post
TwinBeast Posted January 15, 2015 Serious_MOod: 2nd shot is pretty interesting with stuff at different heights. I made some colored light stuff, but it kinda sucks. At the moment the different colors are all in the same colormap. Nukage has some "glow" and is unaffected by light color. Also improved the palette. 0 Share this post Link to post
