Looks great, but those spotlights look like they serve no purpose but to shine light onto the side of that platform(which... is pointless). Maybe elevate them? Looks kinda silly to me.

Holy Gonk...

That's awesome. Did you use ambient lighting at all? Frnm what you've said I'd say no, but just to let you know 3d objects aren't lit by ambient lighting.

And it does not look plain at all, no sirree. I can't wait for the un-plain version! ^_^

The only non-entity light comes from the sky shader, which, with these dark textures, isn't much. Because of that, pretty much all of the light you're seeing there is carefully placed entity stuff.. (And I need to work on that, as a matter of fact.) Oh, and the spotlights are already raised up, I just didn't do it for this compile.

Probably because there is an opening in the roof, that does allow VIS to create a portal that sees into this room.

Well for the one door that'd make sense, but for the door that goes from the building front outside and into the hallway.. it still won't work. It's quite odd. The hallway is entirely enclosed, areaportals in ze door, and meeting the structural brushes perfectly. Evil. I have to work on it more. It might be because neither of the doors are working and they're in a direct line of sight...

Actually 1280x1024, 4xAA 16xAF.. I can't stand the 60Hz refresh rate of 1600x1200 (that's the max refresh rate that I can pull off on this monitor). I also use 4xAA just because I run most things at 1024x768 or higher, and you really don't NEED to have 6xAA running to hide the jaggies... of course that's a personal preference.. I COULD run JA at 1600x1200 w/ 6xAA and 16xAF, hell, I've done it, but with the lower res I get a higher refresh rate, combined with the lower refresh rate = better framerate (usually over 90fps, at the least)

Areaportals are now working, although the hangar is still getting drawn, due to the odd way in which Q3's vis process works.. I've put antiportals in place, as well as hint brushes, and it is still determined to see that hangar drawn, even if you can't see any part of it. Grrr.. :P

Ok so this is the 3rd time I've changed the ship.. and I've finally gotten around to sprucing the area up a bit. This is probably all that I'm going to add to it aside from lighting tweaks.

The A-wing I found is an .ase model that was released on PCGamemods.com, which you can find here. I had to scale it up a bit as it was a tad small for the player.

I like the A-Wing better, but as stated above, fix the shadows under the light beams. Stick a small light under there or something! ...It's driving me insane because the light is casing a shadow :\

Okay... the shadow shouldnt be there. Even if its somehow created because thre light is blocked by the wall that the spotlight is also casting light on, the ambient light would make it as lit as the area around it.

Just fix it so people dont start killing eachother. :P
