I could make a debris causing it in or outwards.
I did it this way because I want to use it on both sides. You are right saying it is relevant, but do you see much errors except the scrambled skinfile ? madfox: It's only a polish thing. The physics simulated pieces in your current animation are impressive looking, but it will be less impressive if they pass through the surrounding wall geometry without reacting to it.
This is already above the quality bar expected by quake players in terms of breakable objects. Tracing my workaround I see myself with an idea. The first window was a catch, but had a bit lame appearance. That's how I window would act when beaten by an axe. Then I to get through of it, and have the look of a grenade explosion.
After making the right setup I was able to get a real explosion blast. By then I was so surprised a bit attention lost my intrest in doing better. I've been most preoccupied lately, but here is about 6 months or so of stuff I threw together. A lot of stuff used: Blender, XNormals, InstantMeshes, OBJtomap and of course Trenchbroom.
Art Gallery That makes an Ogre feel awfull low textured!
Great work, got shivers of cold. Especialy the figurine, almost too real. Redfield, those screenshots are terrific. As a big fan of the Souls series myself and Bloodborne, you nailed the aesthetic perfectly. The inside of that Cathedral is awesome, and so are all the models. And the model of Lady Maria is so friggin good, god.
If you need any beta testing, please I insist. And we can't neglect Madfox's smashing windows :) I've not had the time to accomplish a lot since this whole season of unpleasantness began, as I've been really busy.
Another issue is I'm using the AD code base so its not a s straightforward as it would be to come up with solutions to some of the problems I've had with the code. I will contact you for help when things have progressed a little further though. Hey guys, would love some of you peeps to give my map a try. It's the first one I have made but it's getting some good compliments over at the quake speedrunning discord, which i'm a part of. I think you guys might really like it. hopefully lol
Give it a look. There are screen shots in the File download: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1r5OXyKrxuL-OuDbVblx9iefHvWoBCA-e I've tried your map-beta.
I like very much all the original details (cameras on ceiling, broken buttons, tools, etc). I laughed at the squared cigarets on a table. But here are my critics: 1. The start map lacks a nightmare entrance. 2. Many doors of the main map are too crude or doesn't look like doors. 3. The rocky natural parts are too "squared", especially the exterior parts near the end. Need more debris, smaller rocks and cracks or something there. 4. level was too easy, not enough assholes to squash (especially in nightmare mode). I suggest that you make this an AD level (with some of the new monsters). Some parts could be breakable... Thank you for the feedback Barnak 👍 very helpfull and I'm glad you liked it :)
Is it possible to convert it to an AD map this far down the line? How would I do that? Here i have a demo of your map, so you can see how others play it. It is a first time playthrough.
http://quaketastic.com/files/demos/efq_demo_cocerello.zip liked it: it has some good looks and lighting, and plenty of ideas added and detail to it. The combats are not tedious or unfair, and the secrets are well done. It is also good to see that you put the effort so the map does not require any special engine or mod. On the other side, it seems that you put too much attention on adding detail and not on detailing the map itself: Putting more work on making the rooms' general brushwork and composition, combats and layout themselves more detailed and varied would have worked better than adding lots of details to blocky rooms. - The combat are a bit too straightforward and need some surprise or ambush, or just use the T intersections to throw enemies to the player from both sides. - Some more variety in scale of the rooms. - The way to the NG is probably too hard, save for speedrunners. As you set it up to make lots of damage it needs also a green armour or megahealth with the NG, at least on skill 0 and 1, and make the pipe on diagonal a bit bigger. You need to give also a clue to the player that the slime is so harmful. Maybe a message and use another slime texture. - Some doors need to be set up so they last longer open or stay open (wait -1 on the editor). For example, on the start map, as the player cannot hear what the door opened from there and the door itself has no message, it is hard to guess it is related to the beginning, even more as that side room resembles the ones on SoA expansion pack start map. - Some doors are a bit hard to navigate and would need some clip brushes. -It is too easy, save for the NG part or in skill 0. I would recommend to spice up the encounters or to set them up so the enemies do not aggro till the player is inside the rooms. The number of enemies is ok. - Make it harder than the rest from the endless pit onwards. To summarize, i would focus on spicing up the combats, fix some of the doors closing and the NG part, and yo would be ready to release. Is this a beta or a released map? You put in here as beta and on Quaddicted as a release.
I was ready to release it, as I had a couple of testers play it and I made the adjustments they suggested so I thought it was ready to release lol. I'm extremely new at all this so wasn't really sure where I was supposed to post it or what the normal procedure was :/
I couldn't get your demos to play. I tried them on JoeQuake and Quakespasm but it just gives me an error. In terms of the NG and the acid, were you not using the hazmat suit? Thank you for all your feedback as well man and taking the time to play the level. I'd really like to watch those demos. is it a beta or a release? If it is a release you need to make a news thread (bottom of the page while on the main or news page).
About the error in the demos, could you copy the text here? I recorded them on Quakespasm without anything special so they should work. Were you maybe playing them on AD or any other mod? That could be the reason as i recorded them in id1 (modless), and would also explain why i haven't seen an envirosuit in the map. I would say it's a release.
in terms of the demos. For Quakespasm it says: playing demo from efqc.dem (I renamed it) fitzquake 0.85 server (24778 crc) escape from quakertraz using protocol 666 host_error: model maps/efq.bsp not found for joequake it say: playing demo from efqc.dem fitzquake 0.85 server (24778 crc) server returned version 666. not 15 host_error: cl_parseservermessage: Illegible server message. ?????? I don't know what any of that means lol It is ok to rename the demo file, it will not change a thing.
About Quakespasm, it is what metlslime said: The About Joequake, it is saying that it does not recognize the version of the server used for recording the demo, as it is exclusive of Fitzquake-type Quake engines. a shambler & shambler shrunk my textures.
:P First Map, Feedback Appreciated
#15806 posted by Poorchop on 2018/08/30 18:11:45 I wasn't able to finish this map and I won't be able to work on it for a really long time, so I'm releasing it as an unfinished beta... Is this avesome map still beta? First single player map in beta
A bit linear but first attempts right? Looking forward to comments/suggestions ect DL: http://www.quaketastic.com/files/sc_CSMN_beta1.zip Screenshots: http://www.quaketastic.com/files/sc_CSMN_beta1.png http://www.quaketastic.com/files/sc_CSMN_beta2.png http://www.quaketastic.com/files/sc_CSMN_beta3.png http://www.quaketastic.com/files/sc_CSMN_beta4.png http://www.quaketastic.com/files/sc_CSMN_beta5.png http://www.quaketastic.com/files/sc_CSMN_beta6.png Hello
I have a map blockout that needs testing if anyone is interested. Requires Arcane Dimensions. Base themed and very combat focused. Please ignore the fugly build and some rather blunt triggering atm :) https://www.dropbox.com/s/331t5sddionrm9x/zqfdraft01.bsp?dl=0
