This is really cool, especially the "death maps" images, they are top down shots of each map in the game with a heat bloom effect that gets brighter depending on how many players died in that area, I imagine stuff like this is very handy for testing but its cool to look at too :) Why I love Wikipedia:
Logical implication does not bar the lamp from being on, off, or vanishing completely to be replaced by a horse-drawn pumpkin. I want speak a bit about my current work, my six qw map (dspdm6). I need some ideas or suggestions for improve the map. Please play it in your localhost and leave your comment.
Thanks. ----- Map title: "Blood Hunger Doctrine" (thanks JohnNy_cz) ----- Screens: http://dsp.quaddicted.com/beta/ezquake051.jpg http://dsp.quaddicted.com/beta/ezquake052.jpg http://dsp.quaddicted.com/beta/ezquake053.jpg http://dsp.quaddicted.com/beta/ezquake054.jpg http://dsp.quaddicted.com/beta/ezquake055.jpg ----- (new on beta3) New screens (2 rooms more): http://dsp.quaddicted.com/beta/ezquake057.jpg http://dsp.quaddicted.com/beta/ezquake058.jpg ----- (last beta version) BSP File beta 3: http://dsp.quaddicted.com/beta/dspdm6_b3.bsp betas are not news items. Only final map releases are.
Someone with moving capability will place your post in the screenshots/betas thread. That looks really smart!
Very Gruesome. Unfortunately I dont play DM Quake - so I may never play it. Really like the rocks on the seventh screenie down from the top. Also the cracks in the tiling. Maybe put some more cover items in, spice up the lighting a bit. Dunno really. The Meatpack textures convert nicely to Q1. Also has some nice gameplay setups (the pillar with the quad) so I can imagine it being nice to play.
But here's mainly SP; try http://www.quakeone.com/ Which has a pretty active DM community. The Q3 Meat mappacks, I think there's three by Meat (author name). My favourite map has to be Darkmeat - the quad trap / pit thing is excellent, the back and forth jumpads are a larf for railing as well.
Just got them from
I reckon the brushwork looks more boxy because of the wide angle fov, but they are a bit. Most of the maps feel a bit experimental, but its rare to find a BFG in any user made map (White Meat) and there's lots of good gameplay dynamics experimented with. In general they're not really 'art' maps, but very fun to play. Have you seen the new tetris-map news post from quakeworld.ru?
Check out that URL for Orl's DM map!! http://quakeworld.ru Also Doom3 shaders look v.sexy Reviews:
Deja Vu (by RickyT23) the Grand Guignol (by Fern) http://underworld.planetquake.gamespy.com/index.html is bad for the health. I enjoy mapping, but *my god* it's not doing my back any good. Starting to feel like a cripple...
Also staring at a screen for too long is frying my brain. Made worse that before July I was a factory labourer and guitarist - now I do admin on a computer all day, then mapping on evening. Heh, yeah after more than 10 years of mapping my body is a wreck. My back gives me pain, my arm/wrist are strained and my vision is crappy (although it always has been).
And still I map! In twenty / thirty years we'll all still be here mapping; wizened little Gollum creatures putting maps together . . .
