detailing isnt everything, especiallly with that theme.
and if detailing is "everything" to you, then could you give some examples what kinda details could be added in a map with such "quakish" theme?
btw, QUAKE ISNT DEAD! there are more people playing quakelive then there are people playing sauerbraten!
its "texturereset" not "texturerest".
agreeing with chasester that in this map textures could be set into the cfg. just because almost every texture is from the gibbie package (this isnt recommented when your designing a map with lots of textures from several texture folders).

When i say quake is dead i mean:

Quake goes back to cube one, in which basic details such as slanted cubes and partial circles were considered great royalty. WE HAVE UPGRATED. Look at any quake map it is the mere basics. Quake is dead as a style because it has become to basic. I am not bashing any quake map in the release, they are classics, but these simplified forms will not do. This map reflect basic quake theory thats all im saying. I will say as the great philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche said "Where has Quake gone?" he cried. "I shall tell you. We have killed him - you and I. We are his murderers. But how have we done this?

Basically my point is quake style is gone because we have look here on quad and as the cube community expected more out of maps then this style is normally given. If you look at any quake map in the release and then at any new map for the release (forge, valahala, mach2, wdcd, etc) they have more detail in them then all of the quake maps combined. Point being that the quake style is dead, and we have killed it.

turbine is getting pretty close to a quakish map actually...
chasester, please look at those links:

couldnt find more in such a small time :P.
the lighting is WAY more natural then 90% of all maps on sauer.
about detailing, really quake knows how to handle it, as long as the gameplay isnt suffering because of it.

the lighting is WAY more natural then 90% of all maps on sauer.
The lighting is the job of the mapper, not the engine...

Unless you mean like the rays of light... like this?

i know its a part that helps it looks more natural. i know to that lighting iin a map tells more about the person who uses it, then who developed it.

All of these screenshots have to do with quake the engine (quake-live). I am only talking about the quake style that overcasted most of cube one.

every single person in the world (including me) uses them, they get boring after a while.

btw work on your screen shot

ms pain corrups files by simplifying the pixels into a 256 color array, most colorsizes are much larger than such array. This would be the equivallent to running your computer in 256 color mode (found in the control pannel > under display > tab setting ) Most computers dont give you such an option, any more. Most computers run 32 or 64 bit ( 256 color is 8 bit or 256 different colors were as 32 bit is 1024 different colors or 64 is 2048 colors)
due to the fact that cube is a fps engine, and as such all engines create more colors than that of wat a normal natural picture creates the use of a
extreme color depht is need. To use a program such as mspaint only will creat crapy low depht pictures that will destort in odd ways and create an
unuseable picture.

Point do not use msPaint, only use a professional editor that can subort at least a 32 bit color depht cart. :) Ok a couple of things, do not use mspaint (mircosoft paint, the paint program that comes with every version of windows). There are 2 ways to solve this problem; first is to simplely change your screen size, you will go to the res tab in the options menu, then click the resolution (x px by y px) you want your pick. Then go to the display tab in the same menu and click the fullscreen raido button. Then hit the esc button on the keyboard. Click yes to the menu that pops up, cube will run in a window, then simplely load your map as you would normally, and take the screen shot the same way.

If you already took a picture then you can:
download this. or any other program above and then just scale the size down to the resolution that you want. Then
export or saveas a *.jpg at the highest quaility.

if you have any problems with this scaling please look at this. it throughly explains the basics

About the colors. You are wrong:
8 bit has 256 colors, as you said,
16 bit has 65536 colors,
32 bit has around 4.2 billion colors.
Most 32 bit displays only actually display 24 bits,
64 bit has around 18.4 quintillion ( 18,400,000,000,000,000,000 ) colors, but usually runs on 24 bit to 32 bit as well. 64 bit uses the other 32+ for alpha transparency or Z-buffer data ( 32 running at 24 does the same with the remaining 8 ).

your screenshot is great. =) Don't let comments from Chasester get you down. I like what you've done with the screenshot, the only thing i would suggest to immprove would be to zoom in a little bit more, because the only resolution and size you can use is 640x480.

the shot is fine, but the quality could be improved, thats all im saying

Your screenshot looks nice, and is artistic, but make it brighter and remove a bit of the black on the outside so we can actually see something.
I had to crank my monitor brightness to 100% to see it, I usually run it at 9%. :]
