Oh, obviously very WIP and needs more work but this is the direction it's headed at least
grilles/girders/complex things on the ceiling. vis time and lotsa splits or make em imaginary or funkywalls.
I'm keeping an eye on it, believe me. It's just over 5 minutes at this point for the whole level so I'm not concerned yet.
OK, well, 21 minutes
Thanks all! Butim on holiday this week. ;D
I dont like letting people down and looking like a twat, so. . . . Has anyone reached the stage of beta-testing yet? I just sealed my map some days ago. It looks 50% as good as the original, has 20% the details, 0% items and monsters.
Oh, did I ever mention that QuArK is a piece of shit when it comes to maps with more than 20 brushes? Each click makes all views update and that takes about a second. Retexturing and aligning is so much fun this way! Oh, did I ever mention that QuArK is a piece of shit when it comes to maps with more than 20 brushes?
Err I disagree, QuArK is fine if you configure it properly. I think you should use only 2 views (bottom and side view): no 3D view is helpful in this case. Also, if you want to use 3 side view + 3D view, etc.. you need a speed runner computer... though.. the 'someone out there' was specifically referring to me... I really need to get back into the mappin'.
I started working on e4m1rmx after a small spell of speedmapping last week. 19 days left :o
It's gonna be tight! :P Has anyone done any testing yet? What do you do, Ricky? How do you have this kind of time for mapping? I'm lucky if I can squeeze a few hours a week in...
I started e4m1rmx a while ago, after I finished Slave. I just postponed it while I was doing that speedmap!
As for where do I find the time, well - I dont really know!! If you want to do something, you do it! I'm sooo busy at the moment too! Ive got my job (office administrator), college (book-keeping), my band, my girlfriend and my friends to worry about. Sometimes I map from 2am to 3:30am if thats the only time I get. It really difficult sometimes to stay motivated. Sometimes I open Worldcraft and stare blankly at the screen for ten minutes. But if I add one brush or fix one texture I always save it straight away. I'm blindly charging forwards with my life for fear of missing a trick, I spent 6-7 years just messing around/"standing still" but now I just keep going! I still consider mapping and my band to be pointless pass-times rather than prospective careers, I'm just playing in my sand box really! :P I keep going to bed when it's light, and it's getting worse!
Fuck-it; sleep when you're dead! "I keep going to bed when it's light, and it's getting worse! "
Oh, you're young and single. That explains it. Thanks! :) I've been together with then same girl for five years this July :)
I met her in a poultry processing factory (ugh - gutting chickens at 6am on a Saturday - how romantic :/ ) As in sharing a bed every night, sharing our flat. I almost proposed to her at Christmas, but wherever I went to look at rings they refused to sell me one because I didnt know the exact size. So she got a camera instead! I know what size she is now, so I have run out of excuses ;-P
She doesn't mind the constant Quake playing/mapping because it keeps me off the guitar! Although I think it annoys her a bit when I'm playing from constant "hup, hup, hup, (bang bang), yeeaargh (death". I bet it doesnt annoy her as much as soap-operas annoy me! :|
