Hey guys its been along time for me, thought id get back into textureing whats out there to be done ?
I have just started on the 2fort5r flags, but im not sure if they had been done or not ?

Update 2-2-2010
2fort5r flags done added alternate bricks aswell
Working on bam4 as well, ill be offshore for a month so ill continue with textures when i get back.

starting on fragtwn7 its going to take a while the window textures are pretty hard to get right lots of complex shading and im a little shabby
Anyways some update pictures for you, its only a couple of textures but yer looking better already

Updated: 23-1-2010
Fragtwn7

Comparison (well i hope it looks better lol the new plant wall texture worked out pretty well, abit complex but meh its not to shabby i think

Bam4

that looks nice

Some people have been asking for better cmt1b textures but you might want to wait for a while to see if cmt1b will be played in EQL11 or not.

nice.

try
gl_anisotropy 8
for better quality

yeah Rare, definitely finish those flags ;o)

Red done

Flags should be done pretty soon im redoing the blue because the red turned out so much better with a different process as im sure you would agree the red looks pretty sweet

yeah, it looks mad sweet

great job man. hey is there anyway to make the extra parts 'alpha' instead of matching it with 1 specific texture?

if we dont use that texture then it looks bad maybe nothing u can do about that.

I wasnt aware that the clients are able to use alpha channels over other textures, ill try it out and see what i come up with

i dunno, can they?

alpha blending requires something behind. Quake doesn't generally have that.
So no, quake engines ignore alpha channels in world-texture replacements as its only useful as a wallhack.
You can get alphaness in recent engines with func_walls with an alpha value of 0.99, but make sure your transparent bits are still sane in case your client or server or proxy doesn't support the alpha field.

i had a play around with it, it didnt work out well at all just displayed and a black mask.
oh well just keep it the same as the textures for the maps to stop problems

Then just make the psd available or the alpha png available, so others can use it for their texture pack as well?

That would mean id have to create alpha channels for the textures, which i didn't plan on doing, nor really have the desire to make to be brutally honest with you
I suppose if there are people out there that want the 2 flag textures to be alpha channeled they could make them out of the base plates ill put in with the pack.
If the need arises then i will make them with alpha channels and shading etc.

Hey RaRe, welcome back! Your textures are always appreciated, especially since you seem to be the only one who creates them for maps that nobody has yet done. Everyone seems to create textures for Aerowalk, when we already have like 6 versions of it... Oh, and of course your textures are among the best! Those textures you did for Ultrav are easily the slickest set out there for any map. I wish you had completed the entire egypt set in that awesome quality, but I understand that it's a huge undertaking.

Anyway, you know what maps I would love to see faithful textures of? The Fragtown maps! These maps are huge classics that I believe still find their way around servers. I think all of them use the same textures, so completing one map should cover all 8. In fact, I would go with Fragtwn7, since it's the best one - and probably covers all the other maps too.

Thanks lightning hunter,
Yer the egypt textures took a while to complete, to do the whole series would take a yonks but i probably could do it, id need the originals though, and i have lost my little proggy that opened map textures adiquet or something ?
Anyone have a map texture displayer i can use
P.S fragtwn is a classic ill chick it out

hey. thanks for trying anyway rare. get adquedit here: http://www.quaketerminus.com/tools.shtml

If you want a really simple program to just view/extract textures from .bsp files, use Game File Explorer:
http://mirrored.xentax.com/gfe/gfe132.zip

With this program, you can just double click .bsp files, and it will automatically show a list of textures. I think it's a bit faster for the purpose you need it for.

I used to have all the egypt textures and such zipped up, but I can't find them now. I may have to extract them all again.

*updated*
Ill just be updating the front page from now on just read there for updates on textures and crap like that
P.S as i work offshore in the oil and gas Industry my working schedule is hectic at times so if i disappear for 3 weeks at a time thats why

Thanks guys btw if you have constructive criticism of a certain texture let me know so i can try and fix it.

all looking great

what skybox are you using btw? =]

http://gfx.quakeworld.nu/ or http://www.quaketastic.com/ , someone shall know the pass.

Great work, btw.

Those textures are looking great so far, RaRe! I can't wait to see the finished result.

sky box is Tornsky or Torn

Hey RaRe, I found the texture sets for Egypt, Maya, and Rome. I don't know if you ever want to complete the Egypt set or not, but I uploaded it for you anyway:

Looking forward to seeing the Fragtown texture set.

hey lightning, nice find. those are very frequently used textures of course and it would be cool if someone finished a faithful set as some are already done. it would kind of be like an unofficial add-on to match the QRP package.

I'm excited for your return as your work is very promising looking, I like the nice update to the 24-bit textures for 2fort5 and the upcoming bam4 work you plan!

been away from a long time havnt really updated much atm, here is a snap of bam4 textures iv been working on.

bam4 textures look bloody faithful!

lookin great rare
