Func_Msgboard: Speedmapping Thread!

Posted by - on 2003/12/06 18:37:36

From now on, this thread will be the place to discuss speedmapping issues. This will also be where all speedmapping events will be annouced. This is just an effort to keep General Abuse on it's topic of 'anything' rather than being about speedmapping every weekend.

Time For A Turtle Map

#2203 posted by HeadThump on 2007/12/05 20:16:12

Shambler's right:

Someone
Release a Q1 SP map please thx.

There has been a bit of inactivity on the board of late. So, I'm going to make a Turtle map for the Holiday season using the Zerst�rer QuakeC Development Kit which can be found here:

http://www.gamers.org/pub/idgames2/partial_conversions/zerstoerer/

Anyone is welcome to join me on this one for a Turtlemap pack. Due date is Sunday, Dec 16 1200 pm EST (East Coast Time) I believe that's 5:00 AM Dec 17 Greenwhich time. Our daylight savings may throw that off by an hour.

How Does This Turtle Map Thingie Work?

I Would Suggest

#2205 posted by HeadThump on 2007/12/05 21:13:43

downloading Zerst�rer and reading through SDK. Experiment with its entity set and that should spark some ideas. Read through the developer log as well, since some things are only documented there. If you have Quark study the maps from Zerst�rer to see how the original team handled the entity properties.

I left out this bit in the announcement: You can find the address to send it to in my info on the People page

Same as a speedmap, but a longer time limit.

Heh,heh

#2209 posted by HeadThump on 2007/12/05 22:55:20

HeadThump dont you have a SOE map to finish? :p

I need a release for the calender year 2007. I'm less picky when it comes to speed/turtle maps.

Also, I'll create a .def file for the Quakeed entity matters this weekend. Expect that by Saturday. I'm not sure about an .fgd file though. Aren't they basically the same file, different extension?

#2210 posted by Trinca on 2007/12/05 22:56:17

i use Quark ;) .fgd dont work for me ;)

#2211 posted by Trinca on 2007/12/05 22:57:16

if my boss dont piss me up much this next 15 days i might finish my Maya map before end of year! i might work a litle at home to...

I'll Look Into It

#2212 posted by HeadThump on 2007/12/05 23:07:31

I think Quark actually converts .fgd and .def files to its native format by importing them. I'll have to try it out and see if it works that way.

#2213 posted by Trinca on 2007/12/06 00:30:54

i dont have any idear... :\

I Got Home

#2214 posted by HeadThump on 2007/12/06 01:43:50

and pulled Quark up, yeap, and the latest version supports both types. Look for Convert From in the file menu and find the def or fgd file on your harddrive and Quark takes care of the rest.

Zer FGD?

#2215 posted by generic on 2007/12/09 20:10:19

This file used to be available in a FGD pack on the Worldcraft website. Does anyone else happen to have a copy to share?

#2216 posted by Trinca on 2007/12/09 22:17:43

generic_maps headtrhump said he was going to make it

Generic

#2217 posted by HeadThump on 2007/12/10 01:05:44

Bum knee injury kept me medicated yesterday. I'm looking into the fgd matter right now.

Found It

#2218 posted by HeadThump on 2007/12/10 01:16:39

it is bundled in this zip --

http://www.gamers.org/pub/idgames2/planetquake/worldcraft/quakefgd.zip

it has an extension of .x after the .fgd. Just remove the .x and it'll function normally.

Oh, And

#2219 posted by HeadThump on 2007/12/10 01:17:47

if anyone needs a .def let me know, I'm looking through the fgd file for any additions not included in the sdk for my own def file.

Cheers, Thump!

I'm not going to make it until Sunday. Lack of time. How far is yours?

I Hope That 'C'

#2222 posted by HeadThump on 2007/12/13 22:51:03

was an accident there!

My map is butt ass ugly, but playable. If extending it a week or two will get us a Neg!ke map for the pack, I'm all for it. Plus it might give me the chance to salvage the aesthetics of my map. Does Christmas day sound like a more doable date?

Sorry

#2224 posted by negke on 2007/12/14 00:30:45

Given that offer it should be HeadHump! Don't expect too much though - my map is going to be small and not particularly fancy either. It won't take more than seven days in total, but due to other chores, I can't continue working on it until Wednesday or so.
Therefore Chrismas day sounds fine - at least it would make for some proper presents for a change. ;)

Any other people working on a ZerTM right now?

#2225 posted by Shambler on 2007/12/14 10:12:48
