I had to cut back some ideas to make the deadline, where do we upload this thing anyway? This is the first map jam I've ever done
@Mugwump been a private mapper since I was a kid. My first map for any game was a room with a lightning gun on a platform hanging from the ceiling in Quake 1, using QuArK. Only map I've ever released was a deathmatch map for Hexen 2 where there were 3 arenas separated by destructable floors, each with a different theme. I've always toyed with Quake editors though, so I understand how to create a map properly for the most part, I've just never tested my gameplay with outside players beyond friends I'm digging the water theme you got going, it's very uncharacteristic of Egypt. You seem to always think outside the box and that's what I love in your work so far.
Well, I've been working on a simple map for this as well. It's small and not completely done, but if the extended deadline ends than this is what we got!
FIREY OASIS (map jam6_oasis) https://www.mediafire.com/?lcer5q8tlrocdlb I finished the basic layout and almost all of the main light. Tonight, to place additional light sources and the gaming entity. Also some work with textures is needed.

Pulsar, looks dark and deep!
Doomer, Nice to see lava included...this jam will be a myriad of creative minds! I myself have decided to omit a very large outdoor part as it just is too much to work on and I have to be complete by today as I am leaving out of town. It brings a sense of comfort though, as I can polish the parts I do have! This has been a very fun experience! Here is the section that will not make it in!
http://www.quaketastic.com/files/screen_shots/tearno.jpg I just can't imagine your map in Egyptian style without lava. I would like to make a map with outdoor space, but my skill is very bad in creating outdoor spaces for Quake. And I started my map too late.
What texture wad you're using, that water texture looks just like what I was looking for, is it from hexen?
That's the name of the wad.
I wanted a mystic type water and the normal id waters were a bit dull for what I wanted. It's aptly named: *sparkle Too bad for the outdoor section! I hope you keep it, perhaps for a possible standalone release or a whole new map altogether. At any rate, better have less and be ready than more and be sorry...
But I'm working this weekend anyway so I wont have time to work any more on mine, so I submitted it just now.
Sparkle was too bright, but thankfully that mercurius worked quite well.
I have little problem in one section of my map. I made trigger_once that calls teleports, to teleport scrags later as soon player goes to lower section, but for reasons that trigger gets triggered when player triggers other trigger on higher section. They don't share same names, so any of those triggers doesn't call this lower section trigger. How do I make vanilla Quake do exactly what it should do, why it decides to trigger something its not even targeted to do? I seems to be fixed, after I added targetnames for those triggers, even though I don't call them by those names.
@Naitelveni Fifth extended the deadline to tomorrow, so you still have some time to work on it a bit more if you want.
@NewHouse that trigger gets triggered when player triggers other trigger That's a whole lot of triggers! ;) A lot of triggers indeed~ Maybe I show at least something:

Can't see much of your architecture but I like the ceiling with varied heights.
