I figured the same, I haven't heard from DaMaul in many years. So you called my bluff, it was an empty threat (unless somebody actually CAN summon DaMaul!?) 

...the last thing DaMaul did around here was enter a competition, blatantly break one of the comp's few rules and still come in fourth. Such a loss... 

A man has no more chance with a condition like that than a bubble boy does rolling down the streets of Newark. 

hey 'no wizmet' rule sucked anyway! 

What kind of a rule is that? That's like saying "no brushes" when you're making a Quake map :)

DaMaul was right to break that rule... a victory for common sense and righteous justice! 

 

Heres a pic of what I've done for the first room:

in any case, look great! 

You seem to pay great attention to accurate texture alignment on rotated faces, which is good. 

Looks sick, Ricky! Love the attention to texture alignment. 

...I seem to remember there was more than just wizmet at stake...

Anyhoo, I'm liking these remakes that involve twisting the texture scheme. People are stepping right away from the "stricter" remix protocols of kell et al. Don't get me wrong, I strongly believe e1 should continue to be revisioned in line with the painstaking and brilliant work that has already begun. However, I'm getting a nice kick out of some the skewing being wrought upon levels from the other eps.

RickyT23, if you keep going the way you've started, e4m1 may well finally be worth playing :)

Scampie, I'd never have thought of doing it but I look forward to the results. Please don't let the editing process bring you down so much you don't finish.

Here's to a bit of fun in the making.

And no, I'm too busy trying to get dis_dp6 out the door...along with creating the prefabs for a mapping competition. 

the editing process ain't bringing me down. in fact, it's fucking awesome for me to be doing level design rather than the work I've been doing the last few weeks. 

...w0000t... 

RickyT23, if you keep going the way you've started, e4m1 may well finally be worth playing

bah, heresy! e4m1 rocks! 

...Come in spinner! 

RickyT23 you are getting a pro man!!! guess u�ve born to map :p

looking cool :)

Yes, I read your blog. It's ok, I'm not a stalker. 

Thanks! 

oh nice. I havent even compiled once and yet to place any lights 

Dat look cool :-)
Interesting architecture! 

"oh nice. I havent even compiled once and yet to place any lights"

I know guys who can do that but I can't. I need to see solid results and finished areas as I progress. :) 

I spend more time compiling and running around in the map than mapping, that should explain a lot. 

TBH. Not always, depends. It's often easier to implement ents at the end because the map seems less cluttered.

Problem being your'e almost building blind I spose. One thing I like to do is build different areas seperately then stick them together.

As for gameplay, I plan roughly what's gonna happen as I create the world stuff. I just dont implement any monsters till the end?
