on this TB video. I think he has a point when it comes to modern games, but I have noticed a trend in a lot of mods over the years that try to emulate the changes to the FPS games that have occurred.

I recently happened upon TrenchBroom by accident on YouTube. Then I spent an entire afternoon's worth of free time having a ton of fun with it.

I'm getting into this hardcore I think. What are the current/best sites to share/find maps and guides/tips? I see that quaketastic is in flux, and the qaddicted forums don't seem very active.

I've also caught wind that there are/were speedmapping jams. Those still going on here/elsewhere?

Just stumbled into this and feel like I've discovered a new hobby, so trying to get up to speed. 

Look in the "Links" section above for most of what you are looking for. Also comb through forum topics like Mapping Help and Quake Documentation project for more information on the internal workings of the Quake engine from a mapping perspective. It's a bit more complicated than just slinging around brushes.

Have fun. 

Hi there! You've caught us at a bit of a quiet time, this forum's moved servers after a brief spell of downtime, and I think our usual crowd is still rebuilding itself. This is probably the main forum for people who focus on mapping for Quake. If you've got any questions, post them in the Mapping Help thread and I'm sure someone will help you out.

The speedmapping thread is at

Currently anyone who's enthusiastic enough can just organise a new pack and give people a deadline, have a read and you'll see how that goes. It's not quite like the days where everyone would try and make maps simultaneously, but we all had more free time back in those days... 

We're all here. The forum was down for a while so everyone is probably busy mapping and haven't checked back yet. 

 

 

Just felt like sharing this... I know there's some geeks in here.

Going to try using this as a more hands on approach to grasping these economic concepts. 

Welcome to the Quake 1 mapping scene. It just wont die!

I guess that Func_Msgboard is the epicenter of it really. You're in the right place. Don't cross-post stuff (not that you did) - we all read whichever thread you post in. If you have trouble with technical stuff use the 'mapping help' thread, screenies go on the 'Screenshots and Betas' thread, trolling and other nonsense go in 'General Abuse'. When you finish and release a map, make a new post.

Looking forwards to seeing your work :) :) :)

I may or may not be currently creating a video of your level "Carved In Flesh" and need to know the console commands to give myself the custom weapons in the mod.

I've worked out most of them however I can't find the "give x" or "impulse" commands for the freeze gun & positron beam. Plz help! :D 

Cartographer�s Nightmare is a WIP Map by Killpixel.

The pak file name may have to be renamed to pak0.

Out of curiosity because of confusion about skill numbers in the Backsteingotik thread, I checked what I have written as a commandline for Injector and noticed "-skill 3".

I've been playing several maps on Nightmare without even realising it when I actually intended to play on Hard. Haha. :facepalm: Didn't even occur to me as odd playing those at the time that Ogres were fast firing. Jeez.

I feel stupid now. :p 

is there a difference between "fair" nightmare and "unfair" nightmare? is there just super hard but doable with skill, and like "the game tries to make this impossible"? 

actually, since it is actually +skill 3 that changes skill level, you've been playing on skill 1 (the default). ;) 

Fast firing Ogres on Easy. That'd be something!

necros you tease. Yeah I meant +skill. I need to proofread my posts more often. :( 

I've been using skill 3 forever, I thought it was hard. 3 is nightmare? whoooooops. 

Anyone play Q1 deathmatch? The SP scene is still legit no doubt, but are there any servers that still have players time to time, or a night/day people get together? 

There's a list of active NQ servers @ quakeone.com.

There is also quakeworld.nu, if QW is more your cup of tea.

Yes, there is still deathmatch. 

There's a list of active NQ servers

Lets say i'm using FQ, how to use that servers,

Are they only for sp purpose 

 

NQ = NetQuake, as in the stock Quake networking.

QW = QuakeWorld networking.


Various engines are either NetQuake, or QuakeWorld. Fitz would be a NetQuake engine.
