of course different things can work, but there will always be limits, especially in older games such as Quake 1. There are no long range accuracy weapons in Quake 1, so large areas are essentially wasted space, if you ask me.
the shotgun ;)
Take the following as not very serious: I think, generally, but not necessarily, people need to have some playing experience to make good maps. One can of course make good-looking but that's not the same :). Or make 6 different ones and hope that some of them turn out right. :) Don't you just hate it when this sort of thing happens?
testlevel = 4 ************ ERROR ************ CheckStack: leaf recursion near (457 -2368 2048) Elapsed time : 0:00 Session time : 61h 19m State time : 7:06 Oh and some pics! http://www.hrimfaxi.dk/breakfast.htm Wow ! Really nice screenshots ! The map looks promising... I really hope to see this map released ! Go solve the fullvis error ;)
looks magnificient... just make sure there's enough of visblock to keep fps decent, nowadays people often tend to disregard that... :)
You have a lot of talent. I like how you apply that talent to creating outdoor setpieces - the best kind of map, in my opinion.
Rock on. very nice - http://www.hrimfaxi.dk/pics/fitz09.jpg
despite, apparently taken from a point you would never reach in game and overused textures too I have a long door (512 units) which, when triggered, fails to play noise2 but does play noise1 - the final sound. The doors.qc is 'clean' and all sounds are in the pak.
Is there a problem because of the size of the door? i.e. am I too far away from the sound's origin to hear it? Half asleep, I admit it.
I ain't got a clue what I'm doing here! I won't post it again in the mapping section but if you nice, kind, considerate (etc, etc) mapping experts know the answer, perhaps you could quickly switch to the mapping forum to point me in the right direction? ok made an update of my map + i even made the bsp file if you want to look at it, oh and it's not a full vissed map so you know if you find it "hard" to move :)

It's in late beta now I think, I just want to make sure everything is up to par before release, I want all your crits and comments! It's for CPMA, so if you want to discuss gameplay, please don't bring up VQ3-specific problems. Thanks, looking forward to feedback :D There's gonna be a 1v1 cup on it on sunday, stop by #astronomycup on quakenet for info :D Lighting is flat and boring, but I guess this is what you have to do to cater to the pro-player (LOL!!!!) crowd.
Other feedback: CANNOT BE ARSED TO PROVIDE. well, it looks a bit plain in the looks department... could do with some nicer brushwork details and such...
that being said, i love the rtgnosis textures, so bonus pizza points for that. edit: updated the map, now includes one less shotgun, one less green armor, and also I moved the one remaining shotgun up next to the 50hp ball. Also works with bots now.
Thanks for your feedback, I'll see if I can be bothered to add in some more detail, don't want it to get in the way of the player though. I'll see what I can do about making lighting more fun. with the exception that those yellow light textures that have a round fixture in them ARE TOTAL POO and do not look like they should be emitting light at all. Probably could be solved by adding an additive shader stage with a circular shape.
Bleh, I like Knave textures. I don't think they are that overused either. Most of the maps using them are part of Chapters or Quoth, and are made by Kell.
Certainly not as overused as wizmet.
