Just played quake city and from hell. I like the theme, and it hasn't been explored much.
Here's some Lovecraft, Pickman's Model: " When we did turn, it was to climb through the deserted length of the oldest and dirtiest alley I ever saw in my life, with crumbling-looking gables, broken small-paned windows, and archaic chimneys that stood out half-disintegrated against the moonlit sky. I don't believe there were three houses in sight that hadn't been standing in Cotton Mather's time -- certainly I glimpsed at least two with an overhang, and once I thought I saw a peaked roof-line of the almost forgotten pre-gambrel type, though antiquarians tell us there are none left in Boston. From that alley, which had a dim light, we turned to the left into an equally silent and still narrower alley with no light at all: and in a minute made what I think was an obtuse-angled bend towards the right in the dark. Not long after this Pickman produced a flashlight and revealed an antediluvian ten-panelled door that looked damnably worm-eaten. Unlocking it, he ushered me into a barren hallway with what was once splendid dark-oak panelling -- simple, of course, but thrillingly suggestive of the times of Andros and Phipps and the Witchcraft. Then he took me through a door on the left, lighted an oil lamp, and told me to make myself at home." BTW, timfixed.wad from Arcade Quake has some extra city textures that might be useful.
Ikbase.wad works well with the regular Quake brick textures, too. Are there any proportions we should adhere to? A door is x units tall or an alleyway is x units wide? I found this on quaddicted, it's a pretty cool set:
http://www.quaddicted.com/wads/ik2k.zip The readme calls it "Doom that came to Dunwich". They were converted from Q3 and have a more realistic feel than quake's city textures, but I've never seen them used in Q1 before. always uses textures to great effect.
But yeah, very nice set - agree that it could work with a city locale. Although I think a RUBICON 2 themed SM event would be even better/simpler/more of the moment! Although I think a RUBICON 2 themed SM event would be even better/simpler/more of the moment!
Rubicondom 2!!! pack of 3?
I like (though haven't ever contributed to) chainmaps. I would do that. or a regular standalone deal. got to get WC reinstalled first though I guess! Would anyone else want to do this? I was thinking it could be ID1, but that would be pretty awesome!
Sorry, guess I should have waited/asked! still pretty tentative anyway - when was the last SM pack? I still have my speedmap from last time, when no one else managed to finish theirs, so I can toss that in. Its theme is DOOM but who needs a theme, right.
