You just have to keep in mind that it is impossible to please everybody here ;)
you also have to keep in mind nobody is fair here... particlarly czg who hates evrybody, even himself :D 

Will there be computers in heaven? Quake mapping? Or maybe the true power of the imagination will be harnessed, out creations only limited by the vividness of our lifes dreams...

I hear they cut your daemon away.

rutger: Not bad the map, here's my few cents.

- too much ammo (much)
- health should be more evenly distributed
- more variety in monsters needed
- RL and shaft, probably even SNG not needed
- source your light - use torches/lamps etc.
- sometimes it's a bit crampy
- theming was good, consistent

Playtesting would help a lot. Send your map privately to some other mapper, or a known good playtester such as sielwolf.

Make the next one soon plz :-) 

that was me. 

You confuse me though. You can be very helpfull on the technical threads, but very sinnical on other threads, and you rarely post about other peoples maps. Yet you obviously find Func a worthy read...

Sincerity is an eyesore (but then again, so is my pimply ass). 

But... that is the dutch way! (sorry dino satellite boy for never forgetting this)

Did I come across as a cynical, disinterested but elite respectable lurker enough? Kinda like what a Vore would be, if it could talk? Kinda like what what Anton Chigurgh would be like, if he was a message-board-poster and not an evil killer, but if he also cared what people thought of him by making comments online?

Did anyone ever realize the biosuit slows down lava burn? 

Reminds me of what would be a cool mod feature trigger_hurt environmental spawnflag - if the player has biosuit they take no damage.

Might have to take a look at the slower lava burn, but seeing as I've been mapping and playing the game for years and never seen noticed that it might be awkward getting players to realise it, though I spose a message solves that. 

yes I have realised it while playtesting my first map (Coma). I had to redesign the level a bit, otherwise the player could escape a deadly trap with the use of the biosuit. Without it he just has to die (no that he wasn't warned :). 

But because you never see a biosuit and lava in the same map on any ID1 level, you'd never know this. Quoting from the Quake manual: "Biosuit: Lets you breathe underwater and swim through slime without harm. Does not protect against lava." 

Yeah, i first discovered that when playing Prodigy 4, which requires you to swim through some lava to proceed, and gives you a biosuit to accomplish this.

Reminds me, i should replay Prodigy SE. 

Yeah, I was just thinking of that. Problem was, no player could have been expected to know that biosuits half protected you from lava, given the aforementioned manual quote and distribution throughout the id maps, and Casali did nothing to inform the player either. Twat.

I found out about the biosuit lava sort-of-protection from necros, when we were working on the cross of deflection. Glad I made the decision not to include any in Contract.

The biosuit has some additional benefits in quoth2 btw. We will be telling you about them though, cause we don't treat our players like idiots ;)

LOL. A fair point, Kell. 

The, erm, umlouts (?) are working now (a "o" with two small dots above)

So thanks for that!! 

...i didn't actually do anything :P 

I always find that to be the best way to actually get something done. 

when you have somethng to compute that takes a while (say, years), it's actually faster to wait two years (and use the hw available then) until you start the computation. 

since you can throw such a computation into a black hole and get the results of an infinite time computation back in finite time; to retrieve the results you need only to read the planck-scale symbols that are encoded on to the surface of the black hole.
