The side of the church showing one of the stain glass windows; they don’t glow in-game, it’s the torchlight.

Part 4: Pews aside, all complete. The external and internal walls are finished, there are roof beams inside, the stain-glass windows are in and the floors and internal walls complete and appropriately textured. Further posts will show the church in-game.

Part 3:  The tower is now re-built and has a stairs. The base is entirely (and more efficiently) reconstructed and looks much better inside and out. Still finishing touches need on the side and rear walls, and internal details

Part 2: The front entrance was too large, so needed removal and replacing. The tower was also solid, and I was keen to have stairs leading up to the top. The cross-shaped base area with the sloping roofs, was particularly badly constructed and needed carefully reconstruction.

This is part one of a major overhaul of the church. As mentioned in 11_03_2010, the church was taken from a previous mod (“Bulldog Stadium“) which didn’t require it to have any internal features. On top of that it was really poorly constructed, so, for the half-decent mod that I want earthQUAKE to be, I decided to almost completely re-build it. The overall dimensions, textures and shape were spot on however, so rather that start from scratch I began pulling down walls one-by-one and both hollowing out the church and building the walls more efficiently.

As you can see not only is there a brand new building, but the images have changed to widescreen at a higher resolution. The following images are all taken on a newer laptop and benefit from subsequent higher quality. The building in this shot is a pub, based on “The Winchester” from “Shaun of the Dead”. The low res sky box has for the moment been replaced by a black surround.

To collect the the player just approaches one and automatically picks the barrel up – it replaces their previous weapon. The player then can carry it, pressing ‘fire’ to drop at the desired spot.

This image shows the ‘oil drum’ pick up. This explode when shot or otherwise damaged, and can be placed by the player to create traps for enemies.
