Hello there

Probably someone still knows my from the old forum (unlikely because i wasn't very active there) and now I'm back

And now I have a very good idea, motivated by esteels 2.0 pics (please tell me if there is already such a thread):

SHOW ME YOUR BEST SHOTS!

Just a screenshot of the game - seeing it and you just think: hey, THAT looks nice/cool/l33t-h4cxx0r-shit-f1n3

Nexuiz has very nice effects and even ordinary level shots already look very cool.
But I'm sure you will find much better shots on your drive (or while a match, capturing one) with famous action and so on.

So come on

Oh sorry, i told you to just open a new thread.. but there was already some other thread like this, but i can't find it now
Well so lets put this thread to good use

! Great great fun from the nexuiz instagib community! all comments/pms
welcome. How many more can we manage next time i ask myself!

Yo yellow robro! Nice tower you got there! Here are some really old ones:
http://geocities.com/amoebios/nex/shots/tower.htm

Er... and Morfar... how did you do that... and... ... ... . . . why???

I really liked that tower amoebios.

To make a one-person tower, bind a key to the command 'impulse 14' and press that key to clone yourself. Then jump on top of your clone and repeat.
Cheats must be enabled.

I just had to do it:


I WANT MY AQUABOT BACK!!!!!!

We achieved an astonishing tower of 12 players under the steady lead of YELLOW ROBOT. Many thanks to the patience of all who participated, to XT for providing the server and for the amazing endurance and patience of our tight bro YELLOW ROBOT!!!
Here are the long awaited screenshots:

All towererers please have a look at this thread: http://forums.alientrap.local/viewtopic.php?p=7023#7023

All of my good 1.5 and earlier screenshots are here.

[edit: I added 2.0 screenshots and demos two months after I originally posted this]

Of particular interest are the ones here - I have one of those set as my wallpaper. The shots in this set, except for the first two, are taken over a span of less than ten seconds and document one of my opponents' demise.

a funny shot i made yesterday :

the guy in front of me stayed sticked in his animation loop in front of me at the end of the match like saying 'arf, arf, arf, arf...'

note the eye on the ground

I tried to make some cool shots with an old quake3 custom map:

LOL! That eyeball is me! Weird... i seem to have a tendency ending as an eyeball... although I'm a robot... weird. Damn! I wish I had taken that screenshot! Why didnt I make that screenshot??? >_<
GOOD ADVICE: If in doubt, make a screenshot (F12). You never know what it could be good for and you can delete it anytime.

Esteel, those shots are ace! Do we get to play that? It looks extra-terrific!

That map has a few issues in Nexuiz. The textures for the torch flames, the skeleton and skybox are missing. I guess esteel took these textures from q3, but that's not legal for redistribution.

However if someone would replace them (the map's license allows that) with textures that are freely distributable, i'd setup a server with that map
(and recompiling it with deluxemaps would be nice, too)

The textures of the map (Pyrmid of the Magician by sock) are included with the pk3 and are no original q3-content but custom as well.

The poor thing about this map is that the skybox doesn't work and the great terrain-blending which this map showed off for the first time really well only works with q3.
You won't like to play this map with nexuiz if you've played it in q3, but it's great anyways.

And it's good to see the offset-mapping working so well

Is it just me, or do I see some examples of terrain blending in those shots

Does this mean that Nexuiz support terrain fully now with the updated Q3 shader support?

No, it's just you. The terrain blending is missing on those shots.
That's how the map should look in q3: http://simland.planetquake.gamespy.com/ ... /pom7l.jpg

CURSES. That is the one thing holding me back from adding in vehicles.

But that would be nice! I already thought about that, too...

Yeah this map would look great with texture blending.. but the reliefmapping tries to make up for it

esteel wrote:Yeah this map would look great with texture blending.. but the reliefmapping tries to make up for it

Tries yes, does no.. Its to bad realy - without some form of terrain blendning i doubt there will ever be any good outdoor maps in nexuiz.

However i must say that i looked alot better then i tought it would the seems are not *that* visible.

Relief mapping + blending interacting properly, now that's one expensive pixel shader... =-)

Second.
I already INTENSIONALLY replicated the "floating gun" bug from the "old days" just to simulate the feel of vehicles, if anyone remembers. "Ghost Gun" was included in my Ghost Mod alpha.

really ? just post a link to the files and some more explanations about deluxemapping compilation for *noobs* and i can recreate textures from scratch without any problem and release them GPL. If it's only that, i can do whatever you want about image creation / treatment.

Changing the license to GPL isn't possible. The map's license is http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.0/ (at least not without permission of the author).
It would still make nice custom map for dm/dom/minstagib imho.

so... first thing i'll ask the permission to the author (who knows ?)
and second thing... it seems the current license allows me to modify and distribute the map if i quote the original author's name.

i am, that map looks really great will try to do what i can...
