Hi, I´m working (at least trying) in a port of the Complex map from PD and Goldeneye... (PQ optimized).<br>What I would like to know is that if I finish it, Can post it in a site, so people can download it to play DM? Is there Copyright problems with this???<br><br>Thanks,<br>Diego Cueva<br><br>Last modification: Diego Cueva - 04/10/01 at 05:21:28<br>Last modification: Diego Cueva - 04/10/01 at 05:22:56

Oh... That is good news... By the way, how do I make my own custom skins? I don´t know very much about World Craft... I´m just starting with it and my port is still very ugly (ugly skins). Is it also possible to create ramps in WCraft?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Diego Cueva

I have played a couple different versions of DM-Archives for Unreal Tournament. Archives is a map from one of the 007 games. I'm sure it has been redone for other games as well.<br><br>So apparently SOMEBODY is okay with it.<br><br>Creating new textures for Quake is semi-difficult because of the limited pallete. All Quake textures use the same 8-bit palette, with means only 256 colors are available. 32 of those colors are "special" colors which remain fullbright (even in complete darkness) for effects like lights.<br><br>So that leaves you with a 224 color palette for most textures, unless you happen to be making a texture with lights.<br><br>It's much easier to create textures for 16, 24 or 32 bit color-depth. Unfortunately Quake doesn't support those depths.<br><br>Making ramps in Worldcraft is fairly easy. Select the BLOCK TOOL to create a new brush. On the right side of the screen you should see a couple drop down boxes- one of them says OBJECTS. Make sure the selected object type is WEDGE.<br><br>Drag a box in the xy, yz, or zx viewport and press ENTER.<br><br>You can also use VERTEX MANIPULATION on a BLOCK-type brush.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

Thanks for the help,<br>Actually, I don´t like to make skins, but I do love to build levels...  I will try to continue working on PQomplex when I get some free time.<br><br>Diego Cueva
