ARCANE WIZARD
Just wondering if anyone is interested in a wizard/arcane themed q1sp project. The idea would be a common pak file, including a bunch of arcane monsters/props, and whoever wants to donates a map in an arcane theme (id wizard, contract revoked, ikblue, new texture sets, whatever). Then they get strung together, and that's the pack.

Criteria for arcane: in my opinion, there should be lots of books, heh. And a focus on signs and symbols and magic and such. contract revoked is a good example.

Anyone interested?

Tronyn Did You Get A Chance To Look At Those Models 
if you like them i can get started on some to replace the axemen etc. 
Tronyn, 
is this the same thing i was mapping the unforgiven map for at one point? 
And... 
If this is not Unforgiven, then what happened to that? DaZ asks me once every other day to release that start map. It's getting rather annoying. 
Nope 
Unforgiven and this are two seperate projects. Necros, where's your unforgiven map at? I just assumed that you and Tyrann were slowly chugging along. Obviously RPG's start map is done, my map is beta but I need to compile it with a decent VIS level, which will take a week or so (another map, almost equally large, has priority because I want to release it first). Anyway, so that's what's up with that.

dylan: Nope haven't looked at the models yet but I did recieve your email, and I will tonight or tomorrow and let you know what I think.

and RPG, I think Daz is just trying to get you back over your harassing him about Night Journey. Err... wait, I'm involved in that too... damn 
TNJ! 
Hm... 
to be honest, i lost interest in that map... :( i still have the source for it though, do you want it? there isn't that much to work with -- 1500 brushes only... but i can send it to you if you want. 
Necros 
As always, I'd appreciate any map source contribution for testing purposes. 
Yeah Sure Necros 
why not, I'll have a look at it. If it's feasible to do something with it for the project, I will. If not it'll just be my map and Tyrann's, which would still be a fair-sized pack because both are huge maps.

update of the arcane website coming soon.... 
If You Need An SP Tester... 
...I have experience. Only if you have been happy with my past contributions to your projects. 
Hey, Yeah 
Your testing has been great Scragbait, whenever I've got something playable (for this or any other project), which is basically just a matter of compiling time, I'll send it directly to you. Cheers :) 
Tronyn, 
what email should i send it to?
sorry for bailing out, btw... those textures just weren't doing it for me... not enough blood, i guess. ^_- 
Those Textures Didn't Do Much For Me, Either. 
But I was still able to create something.

Oh 
That wasn't meant to be a slag. :( 
Tronyn, 
How much more time do you plan to put in to the project (Arcane). I'm still trying to get a partial conversion project of my own out the door, but if I have it completed in the next few weeks, I'd like to finish up the Ikblue section I've worked on previously.

A little discription, the wall layout is based upon some intricate Sufi abstract art my brother in law stumbled upon in Bahrain. Connect the walls with domes and butresses, and fill in the floors with pools, pillars and archways and it should be a unique looking palace when it is done. 
BTW, 
if you are finishing up in the next few weeks, I'll gladly put my Partical Con asside and work more extensively on the IkBlue design. 
Heh 
headthump: oh no don't worry, this has a lot more than a few weeks left. If you finish your section, I will either graft it onto my map or to distrans' map, as both use IKblue so it should fit in nicely. sounds good.

necros: looks like he's got you there :)
You can send it to netgames@netdp.com
Maybe I could convert it into a boss arena for the pack or something. 
Tronyn 
the sooner you get back to me on which models you want to use the better, also i can make a shitload of map models as soon as i am done with the enemies so a list of what you would like would be great. as well as what any other mappers would like. 
Hmm 
I'm having troubles opening the models with my qME. I guess I'll try downloading a different version or something... 
if you double click on .mdl files, and have qme associated with those files, i find that the program fails to load the models. the only way to do it is to open qme and use they open window to load models... 
Would You Like Them In Mdo Format? 
i can send them in .mdo format, qmelites native format, or as necros stated try opening them from qme. 
Hmm 
yeah I have tried what Necros suggested and still have the same problem, so maybe send them in .mdo format and hopefully that will work. Thanks. 
Tronyn, 
i resent them in .mdo format as well as a copy of my qme.be aware tho in .mdo format they do not have quake 1 colormaps so they will look slightly different 
Dylan, 
Alright it worked, I had a look at the models. A lot of them look really great, nice work! Some of them look too futuristic for this project, but others would fit the theme nicely (the mad doctor one particularly, the soldier, maybe the new ogre, etc). It would be great to have some visual variety for monsters.

For map models, I've got 3 varieties of tortured zombie that you could finish (one hung by neck, one hung by wrists, one spitroasted, all animated :), then we could figure out what other kinds of evil stuff would work well for these maps.

I'm going to update the web page for this site right away, I've got the prefabs ready, the update should also contain some new screenshots from myself and Pulsar, and a preliminary entity list. 
Cool Deal 
i figured some were to futuristic, my first concepts were quake2 as a sequel to quake 1. go ahead and send me the map models you want me to finish, and i have a bunch of sketches i might try to scan of what i want to go with. 
 
tronyn:

whats the deal with the downloads of:

[1] the night journey
[2] an old old evil

are these the finished versions? or are they still being worked on?
