, posted Sun 1 Apr 11:32  
Does anyone know how to just plain make a wad cooler?
I have problems with large boring walls, empty spaces, etc and they need filling!
I know you can make pictures out of sky textures, but those are too big. I wish zdoom would let me light dynamically, but that's simply not an option... all I can do is change fades and colors and brights of sectors down annoyingly straight lines.
I think I could make one realistic light. It would take maybe twenty sectors and a thousand verticies.

Would you care to send the map to me? Sometimes I can do good with those types of things.

Detail, detail, detail....
You would be surprised how simple little things will add so much depth to your wad. Add a couple of collums to your wall. Maybe a ledge? How about a small alcove with one of those eye symbol thingy's in it?
Look at other peoples wads to see what they did and find out what works for you and what doesn't.

Those are great ideas, all of them, I know they will help me in my levels. Also some other ideas are try to use angled walls if possible, as square ones can get boring, and use height differences to your advantage. I think somebody should make a tutorial covering making a wad look good, that would be great for all aspiring wad designers and veterans alike.
