In the editor now, polishing brushes. If I'm satisfied with what I have, I'll turn it over sooner; regardless of my personal feelings, it'll certainly be worth sending by Friday evening. 

Make sure you check the gamespy intranet for updated instructions on uploading to your website if you haven't done it in a while. (it did change fairly recently...) 

what tyrann said. it all changed recently... 

the crap-tacular web page is now up!!

http://www.planetquake.com/tronyn/arcane

get ready to cringe, lol

and headthump, that sounds fine. you can have it until saturday or sunday if you want, as with work and such all weekend i won't really get around to looking at it until then anyway. 

...nice staircase, that'll come in very handy.

I'll seal up this section over the weekend and send it through so you can check progress. However, reading back through this thread there seems to be some idea that I'm working with IKBlue. Not the case... so you'll have to make a call as to whether the level is going to fit or not. If you decide not it's no biggie, as I can release it as a Halloween map. 

Please post many more pics on the site, there were only like 6 level shots when I checked it out, and we all know 200 is about the appropriate number of level shots required per level. Thank you. 

distrans, the confusion may had started because I am doing what is essentially an IkBlue level (some standard Blue in the mix for variation). 

whatever you're working with should be fine, heh. I'll probably add Headthump's section to the scrap map to finish it off, and just finish your map off whatever it needs by itself. 

All the image links on

are busted. Links to files on your local hard drive aren't likely to work :-) 

looks pretty good.

As do the screenies but that was a given really. 

I like that Cultist model, but would they use guns? Also, do you have any plans for music? I have a few tracks already done that haven't been used, I can do more. 

i sent tronyn some shots of the models, and he will put them up whenever he gets a chance. let me know what you think 

I like the 'monk with a shotgun' style of the model myself. Kind of steam punk-esque. 

Blood! 

It'd make a damn good soldier replacement, as well as fit right in with the ethos of my graveyard and library maps (contemporary/gothic). Dylan, send me a message through the form on my site and I'll let you know where to send the model/s.

Besides, having a few "laymen" around to do the dying should help bolster the illusion of a hierarchical coven. 

Also, make a huge cultist without the hood (and with shaved head) carrying a nail gun as an enforcer replacement. 

Commandos with spellbooks o_O 

if you want it realistic, they should have glasses of cyanide cool-aid. 

as a firing range,
so cultist with guns is not that rare a site 

Why are cultist in any way limited to a medieval/fantasy (ie, gun-less) environment?

People have been stupid enough to join cults throughout human history, including the modern day (see organised religion) 

and not all cultist would have the fine art of black magic, you do not have to present a resume of magic tricks to join a cult,now the priest and higher ranking ones would in essence use black magic, but not necassarily all of them 

People have been stupid enough to join cults throughout human history, including the modern day (see organised religion)

At my old alma mater that the professors of the biology department were full of more shit and less argumentively rigorous than those of the religious studies department(coming from all three monotheistic religions as well as atheists). 

Wouldn't an evil cult want some brainwashed minions for cannon fodder? Additionally, Lovecraft's work takes place in the 1920s and 1930s, NOT in the middle ages.

Phait: you can send me the music tracks, as I haven't any other plans for music right now.

dyaln: The axeman and new scrag look great. The cultist I already put a shot on the site likewise. However, I still think a lot of the stuff looks too tech for this project (not that I wouldn't be happy to help you out on a tech project after this one's mostly done). You mentioned replacing the baron model? What did you have in mind?

I'll update the site within a week, with the model shots and misc other stuff. 

HeadThump, That's because science is effectively a set of 'best guesses', where as religion has always had philosophers/sceptics to deal with, so they need to have developed better (if still flawed) arguements. 

I'm speaking in general of course, the biologist tended not to know or were unable to differentiate between when they were speaking in emperically valid terms or when they were using ideological (positivist) conjecture.
