Some Editor Views

Man.... the more walls and s**t you add.... the more lines!!! Your getting paranoia of it

Btw... i see i use a lot of lights, crush that does not matter tight?

Tip #1: Try not to have more than 3 lights hitting a single brush and def no more than 5. If you have to split up the brush like this.

Lets say you have 6 lights hitting this surface.

Obviously 6 lights is not going to be good because the game engine is going to have to redraw that surface 6 times each cycle when it gets rendered.

So in order to make it smoother you are going to split up that brush and only have 3 lights hitting each brush which is allot less demanding on your hardware.

Thats why its good to map with my vid card cause if it runs smooth on mine I know people are not going to have a problem with it.

So you mean ..... 3 lights on a brush...... like 8 x 8 blocks brush?

WOW KNOX!!! !You weren't kidding man! it's looking good! I want in on this boat too, now that I have my 1337 rig fully functional. I'm also going to look into map making for Q4.
Hey CrUsH, do you know if a defrag exists for Q4 yet? 'cause if not, I'm about to get workin' on that ma'! Assuming of course I can even find a level editor for Q4.

AWESOME WORK, KNOX!!!!!! And here I am thinking your name bind was impressive... lol

Tnx dude i told ya. But a thing like defrag already exists for quake yes. There is a Trickstyle map. With half pipes and also with the things refrag, and defrag have. So sorry

to inform you that that idea al ready exist

But for mapping for beginners like me

www.doom3world.org

To start the basics go here

http://www.doom3world.org/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=3016

and for a list of things with video and screenie tutorials go here

http://www.doom3world.org/phpbb2/viewto ... 17&start=0

Good Luck I did it pretty much with that.... the rest is just letting your creative mind go, and watch a lot of detailing and style on existing maps.

Make sure you dlwd a lot of video tutorials. And watch them a view time! To get the know the editor and fastkeys:D
