It looks a little too pixelated to me, but otherwise it's probably fine on its own--BUT, frankly it looks like shit combined with those bright SHAWN textures. Needs some kind of intermediary colors/shades in between them. 0 Share this post Link to post
Lutz Posted December 11, 2012 Antroid said:That, and personally for me they seem a bit creepier when they don't do anything as opposed to being clearly agressive like everything else. I completely agree. Part of what made SuperMetroid so damn freaky in places is that everything that moved wasn't necessarily out to kill you; in fact, killing some movers was detrimental to your progress (so you couldn't just shoot at everything all the time). I really like the idea of creepers that aren't bad -- plus, I think those bugs are looking great. 0 Share this post Link to post

Marcaek Posted December 11, 2012 Very subtle 40oz :P I don't disagree, but I do think the are is overly brown. Maybe try something more silver. 0 Share this post Link to post
esselfortium Posted December 11, 2012 It's a weird texture, to be sure. I think it could be useful somewhere, like in a rusted mine shaft or something, but those embossed brown walls and that bright silver shawn2 are really working hard to make each other both look awful. 0 Share this post Link to post

See the _th added to the end of your filename? remove that and you have the full picture's url. To link an image, put url tags around it. It's a bit confusing to look at, but this is how you'd code it for your image: (Quote this post to see the code for it.) 0 Share this post Link to post
Platinum Shell Posted December 12, 2012 I just click the pic I uploaded until it reaches it's maximum size on the browser page; then I right click and select copy image url. Works best IMO. 0 Share this post Link to post
traversd Posted December 12, 2012 KiiiYiiiKiiiA said:I think it looks pretty neat actually. It looks like a molded cement material or something, but sometimes what I think looks good and what actually looks good may or may not be the same thing. Thoughts? I think if you made a variant that has horizontal banding like the BRONZE series it would look better in that particular scene. It needs some edging at lip of the floor and ceiling. Feels a bit cut-off. 0 Share this post Link to post
elic Posted December 12, 2012 KiiiYiiiKiiiA said:The slightly bumpmapped brown texture on the walls, Do people think it looks good or it sucks? The bumpmapped textures can look really good in places with dim lighting, but the brighter it gets the uglier they look. I've been using them a lot in TNT2 Map06, mostly in derelict areas.

The Monitor Posted December 14, 2012 Hey, everyone, I'm not dead, just unconcerned, heh... Anyway, check this out! This was the first time I ever saw anything like this. These two barons are fighting each other, but I was looking away, so I never saw how it started. Do you think one of their wives was cheating on them with the other? 0 Share this post Link to post
Platinum Shell Posted December 14, 2012 Haha, always funny when I see that. What had actually happened was that one of the Barons blew up a barrel, hurting the other Baron. Only way same-species infighting can occur. Don't quote me on this, but I think the way it works is that whenever a barrel is destroyed, hurting a monster, the monster will seek the first target that inflicted damage upon the barrel, rather than whoever blew up the barrel. 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest Posted December 14, 2012 Thanks for the comments guys. So the general consensus is that the texture is decent in and of itself, provided it is used in a way that is tasteful and appropriate. So, for example, don't use it with bright SHAWN-esque textures. o_0 traversd said:I think if you made a variant that has horizontal banding like the BRONZE series it would look better in that particular scene.

Sadly, I can't, because the wall of the stairs would be unaligned. Also, the place is close to overflow in vanilla Doom... I pushed that room to the limit, so I can't make more details. 0 Share this post Link to post
Vermil Posted December 17, 2012 Ribbiks said:bordering on joke-wad... Consider placing a border sector in the walls and having the ceiling and floor height of it be the same. Then put the blood stained WOODMET as the lower texture and the un-blood stained variant on the upper texture. Just to limit the repetitive tiling. EDIT, like this: http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/3203/doom2000.png EDIT2: Ok didn't see the floor was actually below the WOODMET textures. 0 Share this post Link to post
