Func_Msgboard: Retro Jam 6

Posted by FifthElephant on 2016/12/23 00:37:25

Retro Jam 6!!

Retro Jams are vanilla style, id1 only, and can be of any build quality.

The theme is Egyptian, so think pyramids, tombs, catacombs, sandstone walls, arches, columns, pillars, obelisks, temples, deserts, dusty canyons etc
If you want to include a custom skybox that's fine. Suggestions might be sunset/rise, dusty/stormy, starry night-time, moonlit.

Theme - Egypt
Deadline - 30th December

Lots more info in the guideline link below!

Jam Guidelines / Texture Wad

Well?

GO MAP.

Huomasin miten nimesit noita ryhmi� TB'ss�, ehk� tulevaisuudessa tehd��n yhteisty�t�*

This jam iso going to be quite large, hopefully everyone had enough time for finishing their maps. I have to cut down a lot, since scripting in vanilla Quake is much slower yet how to teleport enemies instead id just spawning then. Also My map included a lot of traps and puzzles.. So that is the reason it might not Be finished

And Sorry My Stupid Phone Tried To Correct Everyone Word I Use.

I Managed To Improve My Lighting Skills

which is to say they're still pretty weak as opposed to crap-crap. Still not gonna fuck around with colored lights until I have more time to fiddle.

Rockwork's still a mess hehe.

Gotta say I love the colors in sock's WAD.

lpowell,with coloured lights you want to give them alot of white, otherwise the colours will look too saturated. example, if you want a red light, pick a light pink colour, it will look very red in the game. If the colour is too deep the end result looks silly(in my opinnion).

Newhouse, We can most definetly collaborate in the future! :)

Taking a break and watching a playthrough of Ancient Aliens only to see the exact same textures you've been working with.

The Doom II Mod?

#132 posted by Mugwump on 2016/12/28 15:09:29

I've just googled it, I wasn't aware of it - I haven't really kept up with Doom news since I reinstalled Quake. Sounds fun but the tech parts look very... disco... Nonetheless, I'll try it someday. Thanks for mentioning it.

Too late I saw the post about this Jam, and started my map only a few hours ago. But maybe I can make a small and simple map before deadline.

You got a lot of work done and those shots look great! I like that red and green vibe. You better make the deadline or else a curse upon you.

Looks awesome for a would-be first release... How long have you been mapping privately? I love the colors and the AD-style of architectural detail. I wanna play this so yeah, you'd better finish it or I'll feed you to the Great Old Ones!

Newbie Question But I'd Like To Know

How to turn sock's Egyptian texture pack into a WAD. I have TexMex and the source files, but the download includes scripts and other files intended for integration with Q3 mapping. Do you just import all the TGA's in the zip into TexMex and save it out as a WAD?

Sock's wad is already part of this jam. It's linked in the the top of the Jam Guidelines above.

Oh Thanks But

#142 posted by sevin on 2016/12/29 07:44:00

I'd still like to know ;)

#143 posted by muk on 2016/12/29 08:36:12

oh dear goodness im so excited to release this. this has been a blast to map for! ive never worked with these textures before. did a couple things in the map ive never done before as well.

cant wait to see what everyone else brings to the table. i felt the egyptian temple theme really helped open some creative doors for me to employ some mechanics i otherwise wouldnt have.

thanks fifth!

spending tonight throwing in secrets and final details! otherwise, "Sacrifice Unto Sebek" is complete. :)

Hell Yeah

#144 posted by mjb on 2016/12/29 12:23:24

I agree with the creative ideas flourishing from this theme. Really exciting stuff, just like an anticipated new game.

The deadline is midnight of Dec 30th on Fifth's time correct? That looks to be 7PM tomorrow for East Coast USA.

Keep mapping people!

That looks incredible!!!

#146 posted by PuLSaR on 2016/12/29 12:39:40

I started a map, figured out the visual style but I'm still not sure if I will make it on time. Though I have a completely free day tomorrow and the evening today. At least a very small map may be done.

#147 posted by - on 2016/12/29 18:15:12

Do you just import all the TGA's in the zip into TexMex and save it out as a WAD?

yes. texmex converts the images to quake's palette, so make sure to take a look and make sure nothing looks off.

been lazy/not had as much time to work as I'd like, hopefully can get my map together today/tomorrow.

Been At It Again

#149 posted by FifthElephant on 2016/12/29 19:10:34

Reason being is I haven't had as much free time to work on this as I had hoped.

That's Midnight Btw

#150 posted by FifthElephant on 2016/12/29 19:11:08
