Haha Yes, can remeber this stage very well.
Will take a look on the map tomorrow. 

Found time to play your map.
Like the design and atmosphere but have a clipping problem after the acid pit. 

Here some schreenshots of the final stage in Level 2

The face is pretty cool, makes me think you should have flames in the eye sockets or something. 

Hm. Think you are right, there have to be flames. 

So, Level 2 is nearly beta and now gets last polishing.
In the mean time I started to build the end-fight level.

The screenshots are from the first room.

A nother level is in work too and will be level 3 if I can make this stairs rotate exactly.

Nice shots. You should fix all the fullbright pixels in those castle textures though.

Also, for the ceilings, try having them vaulted instead of flat. (the supporting arches help but it still feels like the ceilings themselves are flat.) Search for "barrel vault" "groin vault" for examples. 

Thanks looks pretty good, GunSgtHighway! 

Hi there.

My new mod "castle of doom" is now in early beta.
It's a medieval themed three level mod with trap passages, exploration and fighting arenas.

If you are interested and have time please leave a message or send a mail. 

You should post a few pictures, to show your map... 

Posts above. 

Yep, I want to test your castle map. It seems to be very nice! 

Thanks! Please send me a mail so I can send you a downloadlink. 

Seems interesting, but i cannot get it to work even on FTE like you wrote. At some point the controls become crazy and the guy keeps shooting to the left while looking to any other place.

@GunSgtHighway the episode seems interesting, even though i am a bit worried about the furniture, carts and the like not interfering with the gameplay.

If you need some testers i can apply. 

Hi! i'm new in the quake mapping community, i started making a map all by myself using the help of dumptruck_ds videos in the 21st of may this year, the map is still not finished but i wanted to share a couple of screenshots to know what people think about the map.

That's looks pretty darned clean for a 1st map. Be sure to check out the Quake Mapping Discord (It's linked in the 'links' link above). I love Func_MsgBoard, but you probably get more feedback if you post it in there, and there are some great people in the community who will surely give some great feedback :) 

I agree with Ricky - very clean and polished for a work in progress, first map! Regarding your lighting, here's an excellent set of tips from sock to "punch up" the illumination in your maps:

thank you for the tips, i'm going to try making the lights more interesting before i post the map, also, thank you so much for your mapping videos, they helped me a lot and i'm glad i joined this community, the process is so much fun and trenchbroom is so easy and intuitive, it was really a great experience, and after i finish this map i already have ideas for more maps. 

You're very welcome. I am glad you find them useful. Welcome to your new obsession! Glad you are hooked! 

i tweaked a bit the lights and i "finished" the map, i have some more screenshots to share and i wondered if some peolple wanted to playtest the map before i post it definitely

Yeah happy to playtest. You can email it to me or post a link here.

my email is here: https://www.celephais.net/board/view_user.php?name=dumptruck_ds 

Pretty screenies! 

I finished my first map with the help of dumptruck_ds and some nice people at the quake mapping discord, this was an amazing experience and i'm really looking into making another map using the things i learned and learning new stuff
