The second map is cool. But I really don't like the first one (base map with gooffy colors). 

screenshots please? 

 

oms24: shit map is shit. May have worked with a complete quality overhaul, a proper touch-up on construction and textures. The bomb button below the shaft... nice trap. The map felt familiar somehow, the beginning at least.

oms25: quite okay. Some nicely shaped arch-itecture (and surprisingly well aligned). Still could have used more polish. Funny beginning, unnecessarily bland unfortunately. Gameplay feels a bit repetitive, but I had some fast music in the background, so it worked out as a short action-packed romp. Though I missed a quad damage to spice it up a little.

Demos. 

You add a readme file to that zip right now or I will delete all your previous maps. 

First map: Hallucinatorily bad textures, like Madfox playing with Duplo. Good layout, good gameplay, quite tough. Basis for a good map but essentially decorated in turd.

Second map: Pretty good, plenty of nice design touches and a good theme. A bit haphazard and unpolished in places. Good gameplay, again quite tough but fairly balanced. 

Just as Shambler has pointed out, the first map loses its appeal due to textures. The second one is much better with its larger scale and mostly outdoors design (always a plus in my book).

I'm sorry that I forgot to record demos. :/ 

I always like looking back at my previous maps and see how much my mapping habits have changed since then. I don't know what was going through my mind when I made oms24, why I thought those textures were acceptable back then. Looking at it now, it makes me want to vomit. Purple, green, orange everywhere, blech. At least its colorful than most maps, probably not in a good way :) 

Wow - map 1 deserves a cheese award ;>
though the initial wall breakage is cool.
Second seems ok, but a bit bored to finish it right now. Made it through the collapsing roof second go.
Went to upload demos to quaketastic, but no passwd/account creation? They're shitty things anyway. After a bug run around, died facing off a shambler in the second map. 

No readme yet, oms2_2.zip has been deleted. oms2.zip will be deleted tomorrow unless you put a readme into that zip file. 

Maybe you should awake at nights and do some full scale blood sacrifices too. Begin to crucify your own maps. 

Well I know you hated me Spirit, but I didn't think you hated me this much though. :) If you think you are proving some kind of point, go ahead and delete my maps from quaddicted, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. I didn't even want these two maps on Quaddicted anyway cause they are terrible, but you didn't ask for permission to put them on did you? You would have just put them on there anyway wouldn't you?

Anyone who has played any of my previous maps has them already, and they know where to get them outside of quaddicted. Seriously, all this fuss over a readme file? Here, let me ask you this. If I put in a readme.txt in the zip, but instead of it containing any information regarding the maps whatsoever, it was instead a recipe on how to cook fried giant silkworm crumble pie, would you even care? 

Yum - Pie. 

it was just meant as a novel way of saying "please add a readme so in 10 years people will know who made it". I expected awkward laughter about my silliness.

I don't know why you think I hate you, I have zero feelings about you actually (that is meant to sound nice). not liking someone's maps is a completely different things. 

I'm sorry I loved your maps very much!
It took about ten minutes before I was forgotten all I read here and enjoyed quiet a lot.

I don't mind the strange texture, lightning was very good.
The use of large space and the feeling for sizes is well done.
For some reason I felt in e1m1, bad the slime was fatal.

Feel like a fool having fun in a level that blames for such sillyness.
I think you lost the first sight, something happens quick with mapping.
I hope your next levels will be more outstanding and excentic
so idiots like me will like to play them!

Where the hell did the scrags go? 

It's not always easy to detect sarcasm in just text. I didn't perceive your comments as silliness, I truly thought you were being cruel by ordering me to put in a readme otherwise you will banish my maps to oblivion.

Now if you had said it more politely from the very beginning: "Hey Orl, would you mind putting in a readme.txt so I can archive it onto quaddicted?" I would have happily obliged. I can understand if you were joking around, sometimes I joke around and the outcome isn't always as I plan it, as was the case here. :)

I will put in a readme this afternoon when I return from class. 

Orl, please, in your readme file, don't forget to add a recipe on fried giant silkworm crumble pie. 

For your viewing pleasure :) 

Heheheee, I'll be in the kitchen today, after I find all the ingredients.

Now, the Quake Map readmes should be more interesting in the future... ;-) 

Zero feelings = complete indifference?! Then why bother asking for a readme... 

Woohoo, thanks!

Barnak, do NOT read than's readmes.

negke, that was about us persons, the readme is for the file which I care deeply about. I am so lonely. 

 

Of course, just did. These new maps will be available once negke adds their description. 

I'm still looking for a quakemap I played once downloaded from BBS, that was hidden in a dukenukem wad. It won't read me. 

hehe, in 10 years someone will read that and wonder what the last section is about. :P
