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

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. Alright first idea goes to the bin
-its a lot of work (atleastfor me) -with my experience with the coloseum i made the other week i probably hit some limits with the way i construct buildings with tons of arches -just found out there already is some fort boyard videogame anyway -sun is shining lets go outside! That's the best if you don't have time or motivation. And, who knows, it can get fun later and you regain motivation to expand it. ;)
I'll be waiting to see your amazing works. Okay I'll see if I can get something together. Never done a speedmap before so I have a few questions.
Islands or Island? In other words, at least two? Or is a singular island something allowed? Due Sunday (19th) at Midnight? Or Monday (20th) at noon, or when?? Time limit: Self imposed!?!? hrm, okay. Is the intention to have the map completed in all one chunk of time or just made before the due date? And Rules?: Start from scratch or can I use existing stuff from my ideas.map? Standard progs.dat, standard quake only? Readme file required? Or just a brief description that Spirit will put in an sm170.txt? Oh and http://speedq1.leveldesign.org/ is a dead link. Island or Islands, doesn't matter (themes are not the most strictly enforced things)
Due Monday whenever I wake up and put the pack together. Timelimit is whatever you want. Basically the stance I'm taking is that "Anything under a week counts as 'speedmapping'". The idea is that you should start from scratch. Use standard Quake, or at least a very common mod like Quoth... the pack will only include Speedmapping is just to encourage people to map and try cool things. Not being that strict about all the rules! Timelimit is whatever you want. Basically the stance I'm taking is that "Anything under a week counts as 'speedmapping'".
This is intended so that people can put something together whenever they want and around their schedule. If you have the whole week free and want to spend the whole time making an amazing speedmap, go for it (though, maybe you should just release it as a proper release!), if you want to spend 20 minutes a night for the week, or just 100 minutes on saturday, those are fine too! In the end, the idea is just "GO MAP".
