fans are awesome now

more shadows though, lighting is way too uniform.

That's just it, Zell. I'm not saying that they shouldn't glow at all. It's just too colorful and perfectly spherical. If there were that many red lights, instead of a bunch of really saturated spots of red, you'd notice an overall red tint to the area that isn't as saturated. And the big lights on the walls (I assume they're lights because they're emitting a similar glow) would provide much more light than the glow you have there.

There isn't much he can do to control the glow. He can adjust the luminosity of the texture, but the glow effect isn't adjustable in the shader. It can be adjusted by the user via a cvar, but that's it.

Zully is right, though, I was misunderstanding him earlier. I fixed what he said.

I really like how it looks almost completely different from the JK version, yet the layout is nearly the same.

It's quite good but Sine's Nar Shaddaa captured the grim, dirty aspects and unique architecture better than anything else.

Yeah, you better stop working on this for that reason :argh:

Looking splendid. I sure hope it's gonna get released after TODOA, though, so I'll actually get some work done.

To be fair, a lot of his screenshots had artifacts due to poor quality that could have added a level of more grittiness.

What you're doing so far looks awesome, but I have a suggestion about the lights. There's too many of them, and they look too neat and orderly. Nar Shaddaa is supposed to be a run down city... it seems to me that it wouldnt be quite so well lit. I think what would help is if you added a lot of darker spaces to contrast with the brightly lit ones.

Also, it'd be cool to see a lot of the lights non-functional. Mix in some smashed, inoperative lights, as well as some flickering ones, and you'd take what you've done a step farther in the right direction.

I didn't mean just that. The architecture captured the "vertical city" part rather well. I played a couple builds of it, and although incomplete, it was not a letdown.

Flickering lights exponentially increase the amount of lightmap data. Zell's already having trouble compiling the damn thing.

Once again good stuff, but the JK textures (remade or not) really make it look like JK which eats the awesomeness. A lot.
