Hi, I sent you an email with a 1st run on hard. Good looking runic oldschool feel to the map. Difficulty is very very very hard, could not complete even the first room after a dozen attempts. I suggest deleting a few monsters, or giving them a delayed, staggered spawn. Or create more line of sight blockers to hide them from all aggroing instantly.
Couldn't complete the map because I got stuck in a room after the plinth floated up when I pressed it... Looks very promising overall. Thanks for the demo!
One thing I want to make clear is that skill 2 is meant to be very hard, for people who normally find skill 2 too easy--I will make this clear in the readme. Obviously knowing the map inside and out it's hard to judge myself what's fair, so I'll keep that in mind. Ideally, if people could try skill 0 or 1, that would be great--if *those* are too hard, that's bad. In any case, I already noticed some important mistakes--you are *not* supposed to jump straight into the gold key elevator! Also, the I realized part of my last comment might make me look like a dick.
To clarify, I WANT skill 2 to be harder than most maps on skill 2. But I also want it to playable. Not trying to make a map that only speedrunners and Ubermensch can play on skill 2. I get what you're saying. You can make it really hard as long as there is some way to beat it I suppose. I did find normal much more manageable. I would definitely include a warning about hard mode.
The map does look really good though, I guess I should have said "coagula" as opposed to Episode 3. I would consider making the sky pure black as in coagula because the stars warp at the horizon. Or use a skybox in space/nebula maybe, because it is Arcane Dimensions and skyboxes are the thing to do. I suggest you check out Kells Signs of Koth page for some great space skyboxes. Also check out that second teleport I mentioned, I should have recorded it because I was trapped in that area... Nice work:) Pretty cool map. We need Qoth to play this map ?
Played in nightmare with God more on. Found a few bugs : once a button activated in that funky floating space (after a teleport), I returned there to see again and wasn't able to return back. Had to noclip. That floating place in space is ugly. It's really weird to be able to walk on a space full of stars. For the last button (below a crucified zombie), I got teleported back into (inside !) a zombie crucified on a wall. Was stuck there, inside that zombie, and had to noclip again. Got several cool monsters from Qoth as a surprise. I love those weird looking tentacles monster. They're so hilarious ! We need Qoth to play this map ?
Alright so here's a beta of my second proper map, for Arcane Dimensions. Not familiar with terms. (What's a TC?)
Took me years to understand the word mod. So I guess it's a small project of a quakemod with the startrek vessel and a borg cube. Some new monsters and a challenge to resistance (is futile). short declare: Once I made a rebuiled of a DukeN3D level of Startrack. Converted it in an obvious way with qwinbsp to Quake and got a level that outdstrided its dimensions much too large. It also had so many wedges I spent weeks deleting them untill I had a "reasonable" level. Years on I went back searching but it was lost. Then I tumbled into a mod from Andrew Wyllie from 1997 and again my facination grew. It was a perfect mod, complete with additional qc, but no players as it was a level made for the net. And for me as addicted singleplayer this was a sad conclusion. I couldn't contact Wyllie, all posts from 1997 were lost. So I began rebuilding the level piece by piece, as nowadays compilers are much more flexible. Also I thought the lightning was far too bright, and I wanted to add some new parts to make the level more attractive. Then I came to the part I don't want the common Quake monsters in it, so here I am, construckting Romulans and Ferengi's. A TC means total conversion. Replacing all models and sounds and textures etc.
So no, this is not a TC as you will have kept a bunch of Quake stuff in your project. But that's cool and it looks like it will be fun. I was just curious. Also Quark made some appearances outside of DS9. Armin Shimerman first appeared as Quark in the Star Trek: The Next Generation, season seven episode "Firstborn", where in conversation it is clear Riker already knew him, and in the Star Trek: Voyager pilot "Caretaker". He also played the character Quark on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Regis & Kathie Lee. q1 single-player map.
http://www.quaketastic.com/files/xld-beta.rar As I made new monsters for it, used the original textures of Andrew Wyllie, stripped the naughty sounds from the Startrek movies I'm close on the way from mod to tc. Only Quake's qc is still in use.
And yes, Quark may be in another chronologic matter, but I mapped for so long with the so called editor, I think it a tribute for the rather old actor nowadays. I thought eighty years or so. Please, put some screen shots before we download something. Is this too much to ask ? WTF !
What's wrong with you? Dude just posted his map and you're jumping down his throat about screenshots. At least ask politely.
Now THAT'S a fucking Quake map, texan style ! 521 monsters in a monstruous freaking map of pure evil !
I was expecting another small retro map, but it's actually a major map for the serious quakers ! I played about 2/3 only. Would take me a full year to do it all without cheating ! dont worry - im making - playing only 7.5 months and learn every monster trap - map can walking through for 30 min (killing all monsters)
A bit fiddling on a bork model. Not yet well balanced, the weapon is a bit kinky. Also the wires get stuck when it makes movements.
hugh Tentatively titled Paradise Sickness, this map is much larger and more ambitious than my first. I am experimenting with the idea of a base map and Egyptian/medieval map in one. The story is that the forces of Quake have discovered some ancient ruins and have built an archaeological facility around them.
The map is using the Soc's amazing Egyptian set and Ikka's rusty ikbase set. Many other custom textures including some of my own are being put in. The map is inspired by Operation Earth Magik as well as many other things. Here is a gallery of screens at Imgur: http://imgur.com/a/IrxoN I also created a short HollyWood style teaser trailer so you can see the map in motion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1ky_56CrkM Let me know what you think. I am hoping for this map to be impressive. Beta will not be ready for some time yet, I've got more additions to make. Cheers, Redfield. I'm seeing a lot of very cool details like the lightning effects and "warm up" of the slipgate, the rotating bridge and a lot of very cool vertical elements. Looks great!
Madfox, that reminds me of one of Chasm the Rift monsters, you should check it out to get some ideas!
