I made a little map yesterday based on stuff discussed on irc, but then derped on a hack and stopped. Turned out the solution was too simple for me to notice. So here it is, basically a Fuck you Scampbler gimmick.
I thought of 2 options:
- You make a map, and then you rotate it 180�, with the ceiling at the bottom and the floor at the top. - You make the map with this in mind, trying to make some architectures that look weird if inverted. It would look like the home of Cthulu. isn't there a teleporter trick which lets you flip the player over? You could complete a level one way up, then get to the end, flip upside down, and then come back along the ceiling!
... you need to flip the map, not the player. Even if the player flips, he is on the floor, walking with the head.
I think you can do that in Unreal by having two rooms with a portal at the top of each... but I don't think you can do it in Quake...
I thought of that recently, and the problem is that the controls are reversed.
You could just flip those as well, bu that's QC work. Zippie used the teleport rotate trick in his level "Stampot" in the first quake 100 brush competition.
I don't think the teleporter trick can flip the player completely. Even if you set the z angle to 180, his view will only be titled by 45 degrees. And changing x and y only messes up the movement.
There's been at least one inverted-themed event: SM132. Sm159_negke, more than inverted world, is invertable world. It's another way to use the idea. It's the fourth option. What trick have you used?
By the way, very impressive map. Sm132_omus is closer to the idea i had for an inverted world, even though only the tower and the passage are inverted. Well, seeing that the idea have already been used, is better to think for another one for the next SMP. Sandbox
Multi-exit map The big tree layout: you begin in the centre and have branches from that. The exit is in the entrance The hole Forest (Earth or alien-like planet) Dig site Underwater Liquid rising Limited entities map Black lights Labyrinth And to make the post bigger, a compiled list of themes posted through this thread: City Beach Islands Bridges Wooden Construction Modern Architecture Origami Desert Half-Life Mountain Indiana Jones Cliffside Graveyard Western Inverted Cathedral/Castle Necropolis on the moon Elderworld theme park Shrimp Pinhata Shamblair Witch Project Cyber Diarrea Economic Crisis Fuck Low Cost Companies Disintegration Black Holes Hole of Blacks (if you are gays) Shamblers Festival Vores Party Ogres Dinner Zombie Flesh Map made around a single texture Teleporter madness Monster free Canyon Terrain Editor map Offworld Site Infested with Nano Base-Building Bots Unspeakable Contraption Planet (the whole planet is one evil contraption, ie Necros' latest map River Styx of Star Fluid Cyclopean Architecture (yes, for like the 3rd time) Drowning, Stabbing, Burning TRON Mapping impotence 80's arcade tribute func_pushable (hipnotic progs) Wild West Extreme temperatures Caught in a slipgate Medieval themed spaceship Otherworldly Color: Azure, Ebon, Rust or Flesh Halls of the Scrag God Prisons of Nix Anti Light Where Ogres Bathe Neo Knave The Tunnels Between the Voids Maybe it is too much information at a time. After looking through 5 years of posts , what i got is that the only thing that works is say a theme and a date, not proposing things. I liked one of the themes Cocerello posted in his list sooo...
THEME: Islands. DUE DATE: The pack will be released Monday May 20th, post it here or email me or whatever before then. 1 week map, 1 day map, 100 minute map... whatever you'd like to do.
