I know, that's why i said you should stray from it, to create your own map. 

looks rad. 

I would love to tinker with the converter 

I'll definitely release it ... probably once I get done with this project. I'll include the source as well as a lesson in what NOT to do with code. 

Because I'm too lazy and obsessed with doom mapping. 

MFX you got talent, love the visual.

Simple and efective. 

I like it, looking good, nice style.

Gives me impulses to to make the smoke.spr a broader range of five frames, and to decorate the sides of the corridor with an animating roll of trainview frames.

Great sreenshot. 

Three red spots and a flashing white blot! 

That's what I see too. DAMN that's dark. 

The side slide of a static ent can make smooth animations,
alhough they get queer in long termain.

func_train 

Haha, awesome. 

i love train levels. the constant and fast movement gives a very action feel to a level and the sound contrast between indoor and outdoor portions works really well to set the tone for pacing. 

The Q2 Lazarus pack called Citizen Abel?

Its a heavily scripted cyberpunk story style mod which has trains and car chases.

And a fight against a helicopter. And a casino.

It's great. 

played the first one... was really shit.
this is what you're talking about right: http://blendogames.com/older.htm (at the bottom)

there is a train sequence but it's little more than running across the top of 6 cars while monsters spawn behind you.

i was thinking more where you're fighting through the cars themselves with different types too (cargo ones, passenger ones, fancy passenger ones, etc...) where monsters can break in through windows or in the case of cargo containers, open those side doors or something. 

Maybe it hasn't aged well, but that unit was very good, according to my memory. 

Experimenting with both a different visual style and also hammering out bugs in the OBJ->MAP convertor.

With each version, the 4th was great. I think that's the one with the Makron as a crime syndicate boss, and more involved train stuff.

Also I stole an idea from it 'telefragged' :) 

Minecraft has taught me that wooden floors and lava don't mix. What about flagstones?

I hope you've got some eerie sounds for that void as well :D 

 

Haha, never even thought of that ... lava and wood. My general feeling is, "Fuck it, it's Quake" - but who knows. 

Break up some of the wood and have lavaballs bounce from below. 

Looks very Doom-ish! 

it was... ok.

also Quake2 engine has bizarre physics. Like the way you bounce all over angled floors or how you will slide down even modest slopes, not to mention to way you will step up on a ledge if you jump towards it.
