@Eric - I love the dreary scaffolding. Has a great look!

@sock Nice! That'll give me time tonight to fix that water texture and to add the soundtrack tag in there.

@digs, the 'sounds' key value has to be number from 4-11 only.

And all the pictures we have been shown

I'm really looking forward to this!
Good to see so many mappers participate!

Hope my own project will give me time to play some of them during the week end.

'Probable Carcinogen' Was Re-submitted Last Night...

#245 posted by ionous on 2014/07/03 00:58:23

The updated rundown:

Brushes: 4406
Entities: 554

Monsters (after subtracting for rotfish tomfoorlery):
Easy: 30
Normal: 46
Hard: 54

MFX went into beast mode over the past two nights, and added a bunch of wonderful things to the map, including a new underwater section, new final fight, more delicious details and slight layout tweaks. Now it's even better!

Probably closer to a 50/50 split now on work done.

Waiting The Release Of This

in eager anticipation...

Hurry up guys and gals!

Hmmm. The highlights with honey was the massive vertical layouts, large architecture and fog. and gameplay.

The low points were, for me, the textures, lighting, and finer detail. The darkness hides a lot of bland one-brush walls in Honey. I love contrast but I felt Honey was just too dark, even in a pitch black room where I couldn't even see the keys on my keyboard, half the time I couldn't tell what weapon I was using because there was no lighting. Maybe Darkplaces was worse than some other engines.

Anyway I look forward to playing all these, the screenies all look good.

In regular quake there's a minimum light level applied to weapons so you can always see what's equipped, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's changed in darkplaces...

#249 posted by Spirit on 2014/07/03 09:44:12

Did you make the mistake of playing with "RT Lights"?

#250 posted by [Kona] on 2014/07/03 12:12:33

dunno what rt lights is...

last level of honey wouldn't even load, so perhaps not many used dp

Why Would You Use DP

#251 posted by nitin on 2014/07/03 12:13:52

for regular quake maps?

Exciting Times!

#252 posted by than on 2014/07/03 12:51:55

I kind of wanted to participate in this pack but stupidly decided I didn't have enough time, even though I have loads at the moment. I think it was partly because I only have computers that can't run WorldCraft and I convinced myself learning how to use Trenchbroom on my Mac would take too long. Doh!

Anyway, really looking forward to seeing what people have done, and also looking forward to the next Jam...

I think someone else mentioned some kind of episode 4 themed turtlemap or remake as an idea a while ago. I think that would produce some interesting ideas, since e4 was pretty ugly and flat (except the first map), but quite inventive and spooky.

options -> lighting -> rt world on or off?
