Quake and Quake II, esp. Coconut Monkey and Slaughter Ship were fun maps to play. Both Half Life series, They Hunger and the more conventionally Half-Life like one were kind of boring.
was probably my favoite manke map and probably in my top 10 or 12 levels of 1997. It had a good mix of solid classic q1 progression with quakec gimmicks, and the aesthetics, while simplistic, were actually about on par with other levels at that era. His first soldier of fortune map for quake2 was also pretty good, actually, and hit the curve at the right time for quake2 build standards.
nevermind, soldier of fortune was for quake1. I think i'm mixing memories of that map with the sequel he made for Q2.
For The Record, I'm Just Shitstirring
Perfectly understandable, a little schadenfreude is good for the soul, but I bet you find yourself on the recieving end of people shitstirring more than your fair share of the time. yeah, I usually don't blame them because I know I'm recieving what I give.
except inertia. screw that guy! I see what you did there. :D
Zwif: looking better and better dude, looking forward to playing it when I have net access at home again. http://faqtion.org/zwiffle/files/spacepistonbeta1.zip
Prey 1v1 DM BETA map. For those of you who have Prey, any comments would be useful. Thanks! my first attempts to make a new Quake1 sprite with Fimg...
http://members.home.nl/gimli/sprite.dz there seem to be a frame loss, but I could not find any sprite info in the qc files. thanx FrikaC! ...maybe this weekend.

http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/9248/shot0616nd1.jpg Overall reminds me bit of Aliens + HL2, heh. When I look closely I realize those are the same old crappy Q3Base textures, but the lighting just kind of smooths all that over.
More ammo for my lighting > alles theory. :) http://img129.imageshack.us/img129/2520/quest003kj4.jpg
it looks much better in the editor, the screenies just were too dark somehow and got re-gimped. This is just to show the texturing scheme, because you all know that map. :-) Yes, it's DM4Q2. (pun intended) I started doing it in the mine textures, but they didn't fit really. What I needed was a perfectly tiling 64x64 texture that looked a bit like wizmetal, and after some searching q2's texes I found that little rusty gem. I think I never saw it in the actual game, though, at least I don't remember. how should I substitute the weapons? I was thinking Chaingun as a substitute for the shaft? Machinegun instead of SNG, and shotgun instead of nailgun? rest would stay the same apart from the slipgates, Q2 teleporters look very different but work the same. i didn't decide on a ceiling texture yet. the original is crappy too, so I'll probably just go with some brown stuff. its amazing how crappy the original is, when you really study it. nailgun -> machinegun
SNG -> chaingun lightning -> hyperblaster But you should probably tune it based on playtesting too... sometimes the obvious replacements are not the best, becuase games are balanced differently.
