I vote for Oxymoron or Necromodai. Oxymoron looks like a sleek update to original Doom levels - it has that style with the slime and stuff, and I would personally love to play it. Necromodai also looks really good, and it's not a base map, which will be fresh. Not a fan of egyptian, so I won't vote for that one. 

The first one, the evil overscaled temple thingy.

If only because I like the sound of 12 secrets =). Nah seriously more temple would be cool. Also, you will get it out sooner which will give you confidence to tackle the others. 

the one that will take the shortest ammount of time to finish is the one I would recommend working on.

Though I too like the sound of the 3rd project the most in terms of personal interest. 

The Evil Temple Thingy.

I'm not a fan of egyptian texture themes either, but based on the screenshot and description it seems like the one that will offer a good solid chunk of mappage with the least additional fuss. More bang for the 'buck. Ahem.
Whereas Oxymoron with its complicated inception has a number of different elements you're trying to achieve that, while interesting, will take more time to consolidate. I'm also not desperately keen on a Doom-textured Q1SP, but that's merely personal preference.
Necromodai sounds like a major project, one that will require some heart and soul. It would be my advice/experience that you shouldn't try to get as committed to it as you'll need to be while unfinished bsps remain on your drive as distraction.

So, finish the Evile Temple Thingy where it's at. Refine and polish. The texture theme can be expanded, modified or completely changed more easily than brushwork and gameplay and it looks like there's still some flexibility in what you can do with the design.
I absolutely guarantee that you will learn something from completing the map that will aid you when you eventually come back to Necromodai. 

OXYMORON GOD KILL ME NOW SO MUCH BAD BRUSHES AND WEEKS OF COMPILING THAT CRASH AT 50% NO PLEASE SPARE ME 

#1: Temple
#2: Oxymoron
#3: Necromodai

However, you _REALLY_ need to work on lighting in Oxymoron. The shot of the map in it's state "a couple of years ago" looks heaps better than the newer one. 

 

Do 1 or 2 first and then do 3. 

I'd say finish them in the order you've list them.

From what you've said, finishing up the first one shouldn't be too much hassle, then fix and finish oxymoron, and then you can freely concentrated on the big project.

(Although in terms of how much they intrest me, it'd be the reverse order).


Oh, and Oxymoron is that map that it took half of #tf to compile right? 

They all look good to me.

Found the miracle of colours in fitzquake.

of all the engines to discover it in, it was fitzquake. hehe 

The thing of miracles is that they're miracles to some, and bad luck to others. Be careful how you use those things, k? 

hover that green over some liquid and it will make for either some icky looking slime or some yummy Mountain Dew. 

Ban him, now! 

i will take the popular advice and complete the maps in order, Temple 1st, then Oxymoron then Necromodai. 

Looking forward to it :) 

go map! 

That temple map looks awesome! Not enough temple maps being made, bah to all of you! My 2nd pick would be the cool gothic thing at the bottom, looks awesome! Then oxymoron, it looks nice but the other 2 grabbed me more. 

bottom one is the bestest, nice textures

oxy - everyone seen it. some even played it
not worth really imho

top one - boring style

madfox, sorry for u
go get some clue 

They all look good to me. 

i had no idea fitzquake could do this. 

I guess I can stop writing such detailed documentation... 

oxymoron looks very cool to me. 

Just waiting for testing from some of you in #tf (yes I'm actually caring about that now). Anyway, I've finished the rough layout, which has kinda became semi-rough. There's still some details to add and bits to fix and spice up, but here are some shots:

http://www.phait-accompli.com/q/pre/ 

Just a couple of things:

In shots 1 and 3 there are 64x128 surfaces with 128x128 'hexagon' base textures on them that are cut off at the halfway line. Retexture those surfaces with a 64x128 riveted panel, or if you can't find one, use the 64x64 riveted panel instead. There's something similar in shot 4 as well, either side of the ladder aperture. Texture alignment is a good thing.

Ramps are completely different to move over than stairs, and I would imagine are especially annoying when the walkway at the top immediately turns a corner after only 128 units. Make teh stairs kthx.

Other than that, looks very swanky - I especially like the skylight trim.
