Those 2016 images...I've barely posted on this site, so here's a bunch of wips I've made over the years.
Spoilers so I don't flood the page with images

I wanna run around that.
I have a hard time telling what's in the foreground and what's in the background. Fine detail and/or a more diverse color palette could help.
Style locked down?
Most games that do analogous color schemes like this well will often have the diffuse textures be "correct" colors and then smother it in the more limited color scheme with post-processing. This is a painting and not a screenshot, but I think it gets the idea across.
I agree, but I would think that the parallax from moving around the scene would help distinguish areas at least a bit?
btw Bak I think you've coming across something fantastic. Can't wait to see more.
New light settings and skybox used:
The light settings are currently a bit off (as currently thats the unmodified badlands settings). But the fog at least matches partialy (screenshot 2 has matching fog) and the brightness became more acceptable to the eyes of many people. Hopefully i can make the map match the light setting of the skybox a bit more. Especialy the fog on the pyramid currently doesnt match the skybox.

You call that Pyrovision alone?
Mate, that's Pyrovision combined with LSD and pure ethanol.
On-topic: who needs color correction when you can do this?
Also, @Crash how do you feel about someone practically destroying your lovely Glassworks?
reminds me of my previous experimentations
the things we do when we get bored...
And I thought you couldn't make cp_orangex3 even worse...
Finally, @Geit what exactly did you do in the bsp to make it all wonky 'n stuff?
Looks like we had the exact same thought order, except I don't think I'm going to bother making a painting app out of it.
I was tempted to dump them out as texture atlases though, just to see what it'd look like.
If you don't read code: Iterate over every face in the BSP, assign it a random colour then assign that colour to each of the lightmap samples used by that face.
seriously tho, more people should mess around with bsp, it may look impossible to decipher at first but it's reasonably documented and you can do a lot of crazy stuff once you're in there. This is how we can get tools like compilepal's paking.
at some point I was thinking about implementing a curve editor and achieve some sort of static/lightmap based color correction but eh, I don't think it would be that useful. I'd have to look into vertex lighting also

So I extracted all the lightmaps from Glassworks and stitched them together, it doesn't look as great as I would've liked because it completely ignores the physical layout of the map)

I think I can extract it: if I'm understanding the documentation correctly each face has a texinfo_t (Texture info) which contains a lightmapVecs[2][4] member, which contains the xyz location and the x/y spacing between each sample, perhaps? Fubar might know more.
I'll do some playing at some point.
Part of the reason for doing these experiments is because part of my dissertation is to draw a BSP using WebGL, so I'm actually hoping to have real 3D heatmap "clouds" overlaid over a smoothshaded version of the map.
Overlaying them in the actual map itself though is a really interesting idea that I might have to keep in mind.
yep that sounds right, we don't have the exact coords for luxels but we can calculate them for sure, displacements would be dreadful tho.
