Hello just wanted to show off my QWTF map. :) It was made with Trenchbroom and tyrutils.

Gods... 
Too bad this is a team/deathmatch map.

Perso, I only like/play SP Q1 maps.

Cool. I will check it out with some bots. 
Oh It's TF 
:( 
Tough Crowd.

func_ is primarily a singleplayer focused site. I don't know of any TF mapping/playing communities, I don't even know if there are bots for TF?

You're always going to struggle with feedback on such a small niche 
@-drow 
I'm also singleplayer, but for a CTF map is looks amazing! 
 
release the source so somebody can make a single player version 
Oh 
Multiplayer...looks awesome tho. 
@drow 
The screenshots look cool. But the Quake version of TF AFAIK has no bots and not too many servers. Please let me know if I am wrong. MP Quake is not exactly user friendly. And yes this is a SP focuses site for the most part. My first two posts here were for MP maps. So you're not alone.

I deleted the stem and furnished it on a button plate.
I wonder how the qc would work, while eating the player.

Cancelled Hc4. 
I have cancelled hc4 for reasons I'm stating here, starting from the next paragraph.

It is true that I was not an honest Quake map author. That was because my Quake maps were plagued with issues. Inconsistent, poor brushwork, too many monsters, unnecessarily easy, and worst of all I release a new version of my map that, contrary to my statements that it will be improved, are often worse than the original level. I won't lie anymore, okay anyone?

That spatial transcendence thing was dumb. I tired of word salad. "Psychedelic" is awful. "Anti-authoritarian" is awful. I brought up "word salad" in the same sentence with "Skinny Puppy" in it. I don't hate Skinny Puppy, it's just I don't listen to them as much as I used to since February 2017, though occasionally I do that when I have enough time to do so (which is nice but rare). I mostly listen to metal music (especially thrash metal), industrial music, old electronic music (including 20th century Detroit techno and 90s electronica), ambient music, and yes, Nine Inch Nails (yeah!). And I don't watch anime a lot these days.

And please notice that I am posting here without my func_msgboard "hexcalk" account because I don't use it anymore. That's because I was annoyed that my name appearing on the FAQ page for 3+ months straight without an apparent end on sight because people thought I was browsing func_msgboard for far too long. I still have my email intact, thankfully.

Better luck next time, me! ;)

hc4 was a metal map named "0: Metallic Fort", and I put up the final incomplete version on Quaketastic because I spent too long changing it. The link to the source map is here:

WWTF Dude !? 
Heeh ? 
Crossroads 
Okay, I was already encouraged by the func_msgboard community to get better at mapping, so yeah, I have done this "I release an incomplete version of hc4" thing for that reason. I am growing up, hoping that people make my mapping skills reach maturity levels. Whenever somebody tells someone to make a good Quake map, it's proof that the author's gonna accept his future as potential to become satisfied with how polished it is. 
@Hexcaulk 
Go map!

func_msgboard is not always the most pleasant place for newbs or people who go against the norm. Map for you and no one else and you will be happy. Just be prepared for criticism, learn from it and then let it go. 
Uhm 
mapping block is a regenerating process.
three months rest makes dust falling off. 
Interesting Responses. 
It's nice that everyone is giving me advice here. I'll listen.

"Inconsistent, poor brushwork, too many monsters, unnecessarily easy, and worst of all I release a new version of my map that, contrary to my statements that it will be improved, are often worse than the original level."

The one difference is my maps are unnecessarily hard instead hahaha, but that last thing did happen when I released the Arcanum demo people thought the house map was fine, but then when I released the final version of the same map in the episode people hated it lol. Another difference is that I never cancel projects ever, I just take years to finish them. Oh and also I tend to listen to more metal-ish stuff. But keep at it, mapping is fun and interesting. 
TF Bots. 
http://www.moddb.com/mods/team-fortress/downloads/tf-bot-version-8

Only three of the waypoint files work and even then the bots are MEH. 
Re: TF Bots 
TF takes a lot of work to play on Quake even with humans. Configs etc. I personally wouldn't bother. Team Fortress Classic and 2 were more fun IMO. There was a GREAT Quake 3 version but no bots IIRC. 
 
I always keep a copy installed on the off chance people happen to be playing, which is incredibly rare.

Something that I started months ago but lost steam on. Hoping to finish it...someday.
