Doom textures in another engine = neat look?

I've been amusing myself with learning how to build half-life maps for the last couple days... in my toil I've decided to try something, I'm sure it's been done before, a Half-life map with doom textures... It feels like doom kind of, but not doom, I think it's kind of cool. Too bad I suck at the map making, heh...

Really just for my own amusement...

not bad, now why are you playing TFC?
remake e1m1 for half-life or something heh

Hehe, I might do that some time. Playing with the lighting in new games is fun :D
I did a TFC map once, but it fucked up irreversibly for some reason (it crashed the game and the editor :/)...

Hmmm, it actually is possible to have static lighting in doom levels via Vavoom. Pity Vavoom runs like crap though.

Good.. Very good actually. Maybe you could make a few levels, like E1M1 or something with Halflife-monsters and put 'em online..

Like they said, pretty sweet :)

I tried that once too, and it also looked neat. Go for it.

They look very nice, although I'm not sure if the architecture matches the textures perfectly or not.

pretty nice

If you want to release a level at any point, maybe you could use the freedoom textures instead of the doom ones.. that way, it would be legal and also there are some hi resolution versions of the freedoom textures that halflife could use to its full extent.

I would appreciate you releasing this as well, as I also enjoy Half Life, despite the awful perfomance on my current machine.

OK, I might just make a single player map, that's be kinda cool...

Very sexy pics man!
I'm looking at these and thinking "That's what a source port should look like when I run it!"

Fucking sweet, man. But I agree with Duker900, you should make it for HL.

Doom has really nice textures. Just pleasant to look at.

hmm... I thi... nah.. *shakes head*

Well, the map is done but I don't know if I can post a link to it since it does contain doom textures :(

As Jon said, use the Freedoom textures:

Hmmmmmmmmmm.... ya think? Dat would be a good idea, wouldn't it dawg?
:)

And those half-life pics are tight yo! VERY NICE!!

I don't think they look all that great in the Half Life engine. I believe they look A LOT better in the Unreal engine. The textures would also look better if they were done again in higher resolution or by using texture compression which allows for a more detailed and smooth look. Nevermind a deranged individual, his eyes... you wont see.

they look good in duke nukem. I have the textures in .art format.
