V_wad.wad - New Ns Textures

Fam · January 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">A result of months of hard slacking</div> The time has come to release my texture wad. It is currently being used for my map ns_thea, hence a few of the textures are specialised (2 of them at last count), but that still leaves 78 others for you to play with. I hope these can be as successful as wall_lab. Download, and post any comments/bugs here.

---------

A Natural Selection texture collection.

---------

Description:

80 textures for use in Natural Selection maps. Approximately half are based of the textures of Cory "Squeal Like A Pig" Strader and Kevin "Relic25" Roberts from the Natural Selection ns.wad, the other half are either public domain or created by myself. Apart from v_dan_rock, which was created by my 8 year old brother Daniel, bless him.

This wad varies in quality. I am still learning, but I hope you find use for at least a few. If you do happen to use any textures in a released map, please credit me in the map readme (or easter egg) as appropriate. (You do not have to keep all of the textures inside the wad, as long as there is credit given. Its a big enough wad, and some poor souls still have 56K.) Sending an email to fam@box7.co.uk with a link to the map would be grand too.

These textures must only be used for Natural Selection purposes.

Thanks and Best Wishes to the following:

Bozman: For being a map test lackey.
Flayra and Cory: For being the best (and possibly the strangest) role models a person could have.
Grendel: For the f****** can of Sprite.
Jeff Paris: For enlightening me on French art communes.
ken20banks: For telling me the reality that there was only one good texture in the entire wad. :)
KungFuSquirrel: For making me get off my lazy behind and learn how to do this texturing/mapping lark.
Mart & Zoe: For everything. :)
MonsE: For being a nipplemonster, ahah!
snowfox: For making me map like my life depended upon it.
Zazi: For asking for assorted textures at 4AM in the morning.

Enjoy

wewt!

Revenant · January 2003

corrupt or invalid when i downloaded

Fam · January 2003

I was worried about that. For some reason my website has a habit of randomly killing any zip file. Does this work for others? Or is anyone willing to offer me a host? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

ImaTarget · January 2003

Thanks man! works fine for me. looks like i can use 1-2 out of em. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

ChromeAngel · January 2003

Seems to be some small corruption on some of the textures. Good bunch genrally. Overlay textures might be usefull.

tommyd · January 2003

i can host this for you if you want. i'll PM you on irc.

Sephiroth2k · January 2003

looks great! i love the techwall the most <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'> if only i was a mapper... anyway i look forward to seeing these textures used in many new maps!

tommyd · January 2003

Very nice textures!

JasonBostwick · January 2003

Oh my, a mention in the readme. I'll put it up on the wall.
I quite like v_dan_rock, you'll make a fine lad out of young Daniel.

sySTEm1 · January 2003

I like a fair few of these textures, i think i might attempt using some of the rock textures in ns_intrepid as rocks on asteroids tend to be black / dark.

Insane · January 2003

You know my opinion of this wad as I told you in IRC. However, I'll say it again.

Fantastic.

Fam · January 2003

Thanks Epoch. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

Mendasp · January 2003

I'm still on 56k <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'>

Still downloading, I'm sure there will be excellent textures here

Revenant · January 2003

I may use a few, cheers for the textures fam (i reallt love the nos_wall3 and nos_wall3b), just wondering if on the teckwall_logo if you could remove the logo and kepp that colour on it, as it looks nice and then add that in the wad.

[EDIT] Thanks to do loveley texture release by Fam I got a darker looking map. Yay! I won't overuse the textures, as they will look better on ns_thea [EDIT]

Fam · January 2003

I realised only after I had uploaded that I had forgotten to take teckwall_logo, the unfinished signs and that giant orangey blob thing out. As for adding a plain version of the logo one, ill see what I can do soon.

Yamazaki · January 2003

Argh! No! Non-power of 2 textures! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'>

It would've been far better to shrink all those 192x192 doors down to 128x128, since it reduces their memory size by half and still has the same quality in-game... 192's, 96's and 48's will just be blurry.

I like what you did otherwise, there's some really nice visuals contained in here.

eBnar · January 2003

Remarkable!

RhoadsToNowhere · January 2003

Nice, Fam. I've sorta been thinking of using a grey/blue motif for when I get around to doing an NS map, I think some of these textures should go nicely. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

ImaTarget · January 2003

HEY grey blue is mine <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'>

Fam, after looking more closely at the WAD i found ALOT more textures i like. And be blessed for your overlays, can?t have enough of them <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Wurmspawn · January 2003

oooh, so nice

Cash_Car_Star · January 2003

I really like a few of these. One comment I have is name your readme's something like V_wad_readme.txt, so that nothing gets overwritten by extracting it and I can extract it right into my texture credits folder.

Those textures are all ones based on original ns.wad textures.

I'll keep that in mind for next time. Makes sense now I come to think about it. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

marcos · January 2003

oh, thats some very neat textures fam! nice indeed!

I'v started using them for my ns map <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

Revenant · January 2003

not a bad use of fams textures at all. use the computer overlay on the wall to the far right, maybe make it go in a bit or poke out, however it is considered rude to post map pics on someone else post <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Fam · January 2003

I do not mind at all. In fact, I was rather hoping people would show me just how they are using the textures. I am still pretty new to all this, so knowing what works and what doesn't work is very valuable. Any kind of feedback is great.

Monkeyget · January 2003

thanks for the wad it is very good and suits very good with natural-selection.

ImaTarget · January 2003

*note ->this is NOT a bump!*

I´d like to second the request for a version of v_techwall_logo without the logo, and maybe have the backgound be "blank" like in v_techwall4. I could use this OH so well! i wish id know how you did that "screen" effect 8)

Fam · January 2003

Here we go. Youll need to insert it into a wad yourselves, id rather not have different versions of the main WAD going around. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Space_Ape · January 2003
