Click on the style type until "Chex" comes up.

I feel I should mention that when going through TUCQ assets, at least in Release 5, I noticed TEKWALL4 and FLOOR5_4 are from the old stolen Chex Quest 3. They should probably be removed. There may be other relics from the old CQ3 that I assume you put in when you planned on porting those maps to TUCQ.

EDIT: Another idea I thought of, you should try adding in some brightmaps. It'd look good on textures like the lights in Caverns of Bazoik, and you could add them to the flemoids eyes, which would kinda add a fun cartoony factor to them, since whenever it'd get dark in a room you'd only be able to see their eyes walking around in the pitch black.

[LAZ Trooper]

I had actually started working on that for one of my own ideas. I also made brightmaps for the zorch effects. I forget how much I finished. If anyone's interested, I can upload whatever I did.

[Boingo the Clown]

Yeah.
Brightmaps eventually.

[LAZ Trooper]

I just checked, and I apparently only did the Commonus, Flembomination, and Lord Snotfolus, although I presume you won't use the last two as they're CQ3?

[TrueDude]

Just thought of this, you could make the floors in the museum reflective. For example. Would make a neat effect if you can pull it off.

A video tutorial on how to do so.

Thanks for pointing out the flat and wall texture. They are now removed.

Brightmaps are definitely in the future some time.

[Boingo the Clown]

Oh, another thing I just realized, using TUCQ with either the Ultimate Doom IWAD or Doom II IWAD in GZDoom gives you a mouse cursor made specifically for them on the menu... which is the decapitated bloody head of Daisy the bunny. I don't know how you can replace the cursor, but since I've seen it done once I assume it's possible.

LOL!  This is ten years late, but I changed the menu cursor to a zorcher quite some time ago.  It works much better than the Chex piece. I don't know if it was in the last release or not.

[Boingo the Clown]

Okay, folks! I spent the last few days coming up with a whole diaper load of new things to add to the list.

Okay, folks! I spent the last few days coming up with a whole diaper load of new things to add to the list.

That is quite the laundry list. Shopping list?
Wish you luck, spritework and artwork was the single biggest barrier to me actually completing anything.

[Boingo the Clown]

Same here.
