i liked yours. than's we're nice too, but they didn't feel very 'urban'. i don't think he was going for that either. 

Urban maps on Quake 1 are hard to do, they would look bad. Quake 1 is made for indoor environments. 

There was one ages ago. Either by Killjoy or Kickin Ken. I think. Someone beginning with K certainly. Had the black and white check floor texture in a lot of it.

Someone may remember what is was better than I.

And yeh, awesome texture set. 

i think maybe urban was the wrong word. urban/industrial (or just plain industrial with bricks). if you mixed in another texture set, could do something wild like that city of lost children movie.
i wonder if it's possible to get kingping, jackboot and deadmeat to work together... 

that was sleepwalker's map rtz, to name a few

It really is a nice texture set. 

i couldn't find it 

No. That wasn't the one I was thinking of. I shall attempt to track it down.

I'd actually forgotten about RTZ, good map. I think the author name is wrong on MPQ tho. We all know Sleep doesn't contribute anything. 

Tiddles uses industrial textures in all his recent deathmatch maps.

And the maps look very nice... some of then are rotating in NL server Ax4all 

How does it work - e.g. if a Vore is edict 100 (last entity in the list), does his missle become edict 101 then? And if he shoots another before the first one has exploded, will it be 102? 

sounds about right.
and each voreball with have owner 100. 

For a given entity slow to be used, it not only has to be free, but it has to have been free for more than 2 seconds. This is to reduce the risk that dangling references to entities which have been removed can cause bugs*. So if the missile in slot 101 was removed 0.5 seconds ago, the next missile will skip that slot and be spawned in 102 even though 101 was free.

*An example of the kind of bug this could resolve is where a monster has made an enemy of an entity which gets removed just after it dies.

The function ai_run checks if an entity has <=0 health(and is therefore dead), and if so resets the monster's enemy. If entity slots could be reused immediately, a newly created entity could replace the old one with a positive health value.

The result would be that the monster starts attacking this new entity with no provocation. This relies on monsters calling ai_run or similar at least once in two seconds - and it's not a bad assumption although it may not be 100% watertight... 

I've been playing with BSP to try and make some pretty stuff, and on trying to make some nice curved pipes I got this error on compile:

WARNING: CutNodePortals_r: New portal was clipped away near (-121 9 436)

Results in the vertices of each section not aligning. What am I doing wrong? :( 

i don't know if those two things are related.

i've seen that warning on many maps i've made and always ignored it.

vertices not aligning is more of a rounding error. what editor are you using? 

Worldcraft 3.3 

I took some screenshots of it in WC and then in game :E

Rotated prims are prone to misaligning after compiling. It's best to turn each side of the non-angular parts of the pipe into individual brushes so everything stays coplanar. 

Worked like a treat, thanks :) 

are there any programs out there that can read a q1 .mdl file and then output the frame macros so i can just copy/paste it into my code?

getting really tired doing that by hand.
bonus if it sets up the frame function macros too. :P 

Anyone got any suggestions for making a repeating trigger somewhat random in reset time?

Was thinking at the moment of a trigger via Nail trap with some platforms moving back and forward blocking it... 

have some func_trains blocking the trap 

about my earlier post about tele particle effects not appearing,

does Joequake have that -particle 5000, or similar feature? 

i think even winquake has it, so unless it was specifically removed, it should be there. 

Another newbie question :p

Is there any performance benefit to making certain objects func_walls or func_illusionary. Or do you just have to eat the huge VIS compile time? :(
