if nobody's wanna make the start map, i'll make it, but i have to know how many will be entries to add an individual exit for each map, or i'll made the raw version of start map and send it to ricky and he'll add the exits
any suggestions? 

I would really REALLY love to release the pack at the 1st of April. It would fit perfectly into my secret masterplan for that particular day. 

if nobody's wanna make the start map, i'll make it

I said Hmm dammit! Start map is still mine...

Although, yeh, I could do with knowing how many maps there're going to be. Can support up to 4 straight up atm, with easy addition of another 4. If there's more than 8 I'll have to expand it, but I can't see that happening...

ok:) 

JPL: I made the skybox from this Hubble image: http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/2007/16/image/a/

Nyort: Thanks! Yeah, I like the "absurd" theme. 

I wouldnt mind using one on my map.

Spirit: I dread to think what the masterplan is!

My intention is to get all of the content, put it in a zip with the file structure etc, email nonentity, tell him how many maps there are and what they are called so he can complete the start map, wait for the start map, put it into the zip file and then send the whole thing to Spirit for a readme.

nonentity: What say you to this sketchy plan? Also I think there will be more than four maps, so the eight-start version should perhaps be prepared for now..... ? 

er... maybe make the exit target start.bsp? 

coagstr.bsp? 

Nice resource there. 

no just start.bsp

Im guessing the coagula3 pak will be run in its own gamedir. So you'll have to extract the zip to quake\coagula3, and run quake with the command line "-game coagula3".

And then you will be able to start the pack from the Quake menu! :D

Or am I wrong...... ? 

Why not send it to Spirit right away then?

There's no need for an individual folder if the start map uses the backpack.touch hack than mentioned (=keep it simple/id). But even if you insist on releasing it as a mod, please don't put the files in a pak. 

Nice image, and good work :) Is there any tutorials that would explain how to create skyboxes from such images ? 

ok, we will sent then to Spirit untill end of 31th March.

now how should we name the map?

tr_coag3.bsp?
spy_coag3.bsp?
neg_coag3.bsp? 

coag3_trinca.bsp, coag3_dude, coag3_start

That trick looks great, yay! 

kk 

so mine will be called coag3_ricky.bsp, and the exit will target coag3_start.bsp, and I'm sending it to the long-suffering Spirit on March 30th :)

Probably with a skybox :D 

coag3_trinca.bsp, coag3_dude, coag3_start
That trick looks great, yay!

is this necessary to name the map that way? 

spy i also think that make things simpler 

Nah, but I strongly recommend it. That way people can easily choose a map from the pack by tab-completion (on engines with that). Just "coag3<tab>, yay".

ok, i see
thnks 

i just wish i had time to made a map with more layout :\ maby next time...

at least i already saw one small but with a fantastic layout ;) 

email nonentity, tell him how many maps there are and what they are called so he can complete the start map

As long as that's done by someone, I'm not fussed who they're sent to... 

i think at east 5 maps are garentie

mine
spy
negke
willem
and
Ricky

name is nick with coag3_ before 

Where did all the maps go?! Didn't like 12 ppl announce maps?

Amazing. 

gb the formula is almost this.

12/3

:p
