Thanks!
Seems you're the first to find out. :) Can't say if the room is to dark. On my screen the lightbalance looks ok. On old Monitors I would calibrate my RGB-settings. Do you have any idea to do this on modern flatscreens? Hi all,
Recently got back into mapping for Quake. Last time I did anything like this was probably back in 2000. I have been working on and off for the last 2 weeks on a Duel / 2on2 / FFA map using only the Metal.wad. http://www.quaketastic.com/files/oRdm1-1.png http://www.quaketastic.com/files/oRdm1-2.png http://www.quaketastic.com/files/oRdm1-3.png http://www.quaketastic.com/files/oRdm1-4.png http://www.quaketastic.com/files/oRdm1-5.png http://www.quaketastic.com/files/oRdm1-6.png http://www.quaketastic.com/files/oRdm1-7.png http://www.quaketastic.com/files/oRdm1-8.png http://www.quaketastic.com/files/oRdm1-9.png http://www.quaketastic.com/files/oRdm1-10.png I've always been a fan of DM4 by American McGee and it started out with a lot of inspiration from that. As things went on, it changed a lot! I've uploaded the map to Quaketastic and would love some feed back. Weapon / item placement Lighting (gamma 1) Any modifications to the layout to better the flow of the map. Thank you! http://www.quaketastic.com/index.php?dir=files/multiplayer/ordm1_test1.zip I don't see any fog in your screenshots but if you added it after those were taken it is waaaaay to strong.
Jus' thought I'd let you know. QS shows density as 0.600000 From your map:
"fog" "0.600000 0.500000 0.400000" A single line fog command is formatted as such: "fog" "Density | Red | Green | Blue" Fimmy, I forgot that I recorded a first-run demo of your trainstation map. Better late than never?
Demo is here. It's protocol 666 (QuakeSpasm default), Nightmare skill. I wouldn't normally do a first run on Nightmare, but IIRC the readme made it clear that there wouldn't be a difference between Easy/Normal/Hard, so I figured that if I played Nightmare, I'd at least have the faster monster attacks to keep it challenging. It was a really nice map! Short and sweet. With the textures and theme, it felt like a good Quake 2 map, but with some modern design sensibilities and attention to detail. Random points of constructive criticism / feedback: * The first secret felt rather too easy. * The medieval knights felt out of place in the high-tech setting. * The grenade launcher felt like it should have counted as a secret. But those were minor things and overall this was a very positive play. It felt like it could have been the first map of a Quake 2 style episode, and I would have been happy to play the rest of that episode. Keep up the good work! Hi everyone,
This is my port of the THCT's map The Catalyst from Reflex Arena to QuakeWorld. The information is in archive, screenshots below: http://www.quaketastic.com/files/catalyst/catalyst_screeshot1.png http://www.quaketastic.com/files/catalyst/catalyst_screeshot2.png http://www.quaketastic.com/files/catalyst/catalyst_screeshot3.png http://www.quaketastic.com/files/catalyst/catalyst_screeshot4.png The map along with sources is here: http://www.quaketastic.com/files/catalyst/catalyst.zip Alternative (main) location is here: https://github.com/fourier/t7_pure/releases/tag/catalyst_v1.0 Hi guys I need review for my new SP map
Status is beta Skill is only in 2 (0&1 are in progress) Screens : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u_QB-jkNR4bCpze7N-3Ov1YzBSyQD36N/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dn_eP_mDiS8VcYRpYo7tjm6WTFWg0rYi/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YV3hft5mTPo9XAj5cIUOB47LzB5iuQon/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Vg8NhgKA9wp3Qy1Wqg5OHgYYGoChC6Gc/view?usp=sharing File : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Yfm5DP-St7HsDVm_Stjlkk6kmJPqK7Jr/view?usp=sharing Hope you'll enjoy it. Thjs map is fantastic!
There are about 48 textures missing (message in the console while loading the map). I noticed a missing texture on the side of the last door (exit slipgate). I believe the lava texture could be much better. Currently, it's looking like vomit (low res orange-yellow lava texture). Also, the texture used on the teleporter could be better. It is too low res! Also, once we fall on some parts, there's no way to get back. Especially on the large pipe under a floor. It's looking like hiding some secrets, but we can't walk on the pipe. Despite these first crittics, the map is awesome! Nice new ideas in there. So these demos are going to be frustrating to watch. But beautiful, stunning brushwork, texturing and lighting! I think you will see a lot of areas where game play could be improved. I was cheesing enemies form a distance much of the time and that's kinda of boring BUT I think you can get this baby purring with some tweaks.
http://www.quaketastic.com/files/demos/heresb5_dtds.zip Wow!
I love this map. The design is awesome. the interior and used textures in colour and dimension look great. The whole level with its big rooms feels great to play. A little more contrast on lights and shadows would give the map more depth and make the structures mightier. Hi.
Have a little sideproject called neonquake. This mod was created with progs_dump and has a START map. For now there's one episode with 7 levels platform jumping. Three different games are planed. Number two is in progress. Two more episodes for the first game are in work. screenshot: http://www.quaketastic.com/files/tod/neonquake.jpg download: http://www.quaketastic.com/files/tod/gsh_neonquake.zip Nice work.
It's a bit repetitious but I got hooked and wanted to conquer the 7 levels. Do you have any plans to make other "flying" blocks for the player to dodge? I think that would add more of a challenge. Also, do you have lookspring defaulting to on in this? And I noticed something about jumping forward too. Nice! Bearing in mind that I'd already got the hang of the gameplay from playing that one map with the train issue, I didn't have any problems getting through the other maps.
The arcade machine in the start map was cute. I liked the appropriately-retro music, and that the music gets more frantic as you progress. I'm seconding dumptruck_ds' sentiment that the gameplay is a bit repetitive, but on the other hand it didn't take long to play through that first episode. I guess more variety could be included in the second and third episodes? I noticed a few purely technical issues: * The zip file contains a copy of your config.cfg file; I'd strongly suggest removing that, because it'll cause players' settings to be overwritten by your own settings. I expect this is why dumptruck_ds was having the issue with lookspring. * There are a couple of files with uppercase characters in the names; this can cause issues for players using operating systems that use case-sensitive file systems. It's better to make all files have lowercase names. Relevant files are "GSH_neonquake" and "START.bsp". The "map" key of the trigger_changelevel in ep17 would also need to be changed from "START" to "start" to match. * In the first three maps, the edge of the first big train pokes through the wall after it stops moving, so the player can cheat by standing on that until the end. * In ep16, the curved corners at the edges of the map don't line up with the outer walls (look to the left/right on map start to see). * In ep17, the player can trigger the "You succeed" message early if they aggressively jump forward across the platforms. This could be solved by putting the trigger behind the door to the exit, or by making it so the message is triggered when the door opens instead of when the player touches a trigger. * ep17 ends with an intermission screen, but the map doesn't contain an info_intermission for the camera view, so the viewpoint just defaults to the info_player_start, which isn't a very good view. Hope this is useful. Keep at it! Chasm's AI is pretty garbage, so I think simply watching the gameplay and getting in close enough will do.
Thanks.
Yes theres repetivity. In the first way I had to learn how to place blocks. In the second I want players to get used to the sorts of blocks. I have plans for shootable blocks and walls to walk and maybe three levels of platforms for using the 3rd dimension to. Dodgable Blocks would also bee nice and I'm working on that. Have to find out how to stop a player stopping all trains by getting in between a train and a wall. what do you think about lookspring and strafeing? Should it be activated? |
