I'm not sure about minerva, but tumbler is mostly a \"model\" map, the author modelled most of it in a 3d app (max, I believe) and imported all the models and put a caulk hull around them.

I'll get back to you on the size thing, I can't remember that off-hand .

Weird, I've never had any problems checking the site either and I too check up many times per day.

That shot isn't a render, that's ingame (and with an out of date and crappy skin, to boot). This is what a render looks like .

Maybe you are just standing in the light?

Honestly I haven't really played Doom 3 DM for more than a few minutes, we picked it for the engine and not any particular qualities the game might already have.

Quake 4 is brighter because that's the way the level designers wanted it. The emphasis on IC combat will certainly be darkness and shadow play, but expect a few bright maps in the mix too.

Regarding Q4: The differences in engine are extremely minor and some of them actually would make our job slightly harder, so a engine swap is very unlikely at this time.

Early January is the release date for something that could actually be called a "playable" alpha version, the date is pretty much set in stone, and the question is how much stuff we'll actually get ready before then. It will obviously not be representative of the final product but we'd lik...

Psst..

Newest post and shots are 2 days old .

Usually I export OBJ, which is widely compatible and not as icky as 3ds, but I included the max file more as an afterthought (thinking that most people would just view the ingame model in the Doom 3 engine, since that way you can see normal and specular mapping and all that). The skin modifier and t...

Sorry, there was a little issue with the server.

Err, no, it's on a 13mbit pipe, put (some) people overseas (read: US) have speed problems with it.

Confusion clearup: The model is unwrapped and ready to be painted, the painting is what needs to be done.

You still have to bind keys for rolling, as per the readme.

That's actually our IRC channel topic .

We're definitely going to have an interior cockpit as far as the first person view goes, we just haven't decided if it should be visible from the outside.

Nice model. You should toss in an interior cockpit though. Your concussions are also a bit funky and the side vents need some work. If you can get some nice looking textures on it, it should be awsome. :) Hex forgot to mention when he posted that, that that pyro model is very far from the final one...

Did you patch to the newest version (1.3) first?

... since it will at least be made a server-side option.

Thank you that someone finally got that! We ARE going to do that so if all server admins activate it THERE IS NO PROBLEM! And everyone can go home happy .
