Nice rusty look. And those scary shadowzz! Well done! 

I made an all-secrets playthrough as example on this map: http://blip.tv/file/3124439

Sadly the quality was butchered for the flash player but you can easily download the Ogg Theora original.

It is a shame H264 is patented, the quality is much better. Not to mention its adoption.

Also I wish I knew how to make Darkplaces' particles look like software Quake (colourwise, the weapon effects and blood). Oh, and that weird stuff on the left side of the HUD...

Anyways, any critic on this? Is the playing style alright? Settings ok? Texture filtering is a must for video compression. 

Was nice hearing the CD track in there.

Would be nicer if the image wasn't so compressed but I guess there's not much you can do about it. I wonder if the darkness makes it compress worse than if it was brighter/higher contrast?

This reminded me to dig up the other playthrough video I knew about, by Wugga: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4x7ps_lets-play-quake-custom-maps-antedil_videogames 

wtf?? 'no where near enough ammo to kill the enemies' ... 'horrendous user map' o.0

what map was he playing? 

i think it must be satire, he completely misses a bunch of ammo boxes as he runs through the map waking up every enemy and then complaining about all the enemies attacking at once :) 

The quality is so bad because I uploaded a already pretty "small" compressed video. Transcoding gets worse the lower the starting quality is.

Wugga is a typical narcistic internet idiot. :\ 

I really enjoyed watching spirits video, especially seeing the map for the first time! I just wish more people would do video's like this so everyone can enjoy Q1 goodness. The style and architecture of the map was amazing, I loved the whole X style with support beams and vertical shafts everywhere. Brilliant work metlslime. :) 

RUBICON TWO 

"Rubicon 2!!!" "Rubicon 2!!!" "Rubicon 2!!!" "Rubicon 2!!!" 

Try setting cl_particles_quake to 1?

(quote from the source code: "makes particle effects look mostly like the ones in Quake") 

That's what I used. The colors are all wrong and they are not solid. 

Rubicon II, anyone?? 

I don't know when he started RBCII, but if it was shortly after the first one then he stands to pwn ARWOP's 10 year record by a significant margin. 

i just dug up some older backups, the oldest map files i have with "rubicon2" in the name are dated february 2001. 

Stop chattin' and get mappin'! 

for QExpo 2010? 

ANTEDILUVIAN 2!!!!!!! 

.. will it happen ? Really ? 

Ugh metl just give Rubicon 2 to RPG. He'll get to work on it right quick. 

go over to i3d and lobby for it :)

Things happen when enough people want to participate. Maybe volunteer for something or promise a release. 

What I can promise is to participate, and maybe release my current project... though... 

AFAIK we're pretty much the SP mapping community. If we're not behind it then it'll be crippled.

Let's go. I really want to see this happen again. 

My time is short and I can't search for Quadz of tastyspleen.

Was is needed for this thing?
