http://www.angelfire.com/mech/mechtech0/tools/mapping.htm Screenshot http://shub-hub.com/files/images/doo8sp.jpg Thank You metlslime I suggest adding more complex geometry to the map. Given your texture choices, you could choose to develop a new style in this level, one that feels like doom, but utilizes the possibilities of quake. 3D!
That map looks awesome in Doom, but it's absolute bollocks in Q1. Like inertia said, you need to make it more complex. You can't just use the exact same lines as the original and expect it to look good.
JUST like doom, but with Q1 monsters!
Nowt wrong with that if thats what you wanted to do, you did it quite well! Progs barrels are cool - shame they dont have a 'dominoes' effect when shot. This map took me a little while to create. I'm not all that good at map making, yet, so not near as good as many of you. But I put time into this map. Its a basic DM map I want your honest opinions, any input is good input.

Still light around the lights though, but I'm sure you said you were aware of that!! Maybe a lower alpha keyvalue would make the glass look a bit better (?) - I'm looking forwards to this map!
Dreadfull - No email address in your ID? Your deathmatch map looks interesting, like the Metal style! A few more detailed textures on the wall wouldnt hurt, or some fixtures maybe with flames on the top or something would spice it up a bit - also the floor texture looks a bit too much like the wall texture, maybe something that contrasts a bit more? The layout looks interesting, and some of the rooms (Quad room, outside area with lava 'fountain') make for good gameplay! :) http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/2939/c4a868973b6beac53ad2ae6rg6.jpg
^^ Looks like a gigantic undetailed box room. It's nice that you put a lot of time into it but you need look at some existing custom MP maps and put the same amount of detail into your level. Look at aerowalk for example...not terribly "detailed" but a great layout that looks interesting. You can't just put up 4 walls a floor and a sky and call it a DM map. i agree with the others that your map seems to need more detailed architecture/geometry.
However, this one screenshot looks cool: http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=1tbzt5ho2tm&thumb=6 Here's something I've been working on as a test for my level editor. Not sure if this will become something I can feel good about releasing but it's been fun to work on nonetheless!
http://wantonhubris.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/levelpreview1.jpg HEY! I just found out about this on the inside3d forums today. You must release it! As a mac user I am limited to what I can use to create quake1 levels with. And by limited I mean Quiver 1.2 It sucks and is currently part of my problem with development. At least let me get a version of it ;) It looks very well developed and seems to be able to do a lot more than most editors, especially quiver. If you do release it (please) Do you know an estimate on a release date?
The level looks very nice. well done. Did you ever do any editing before you started work on this app? If so what did you use?
Lookin' good Willem. Shots are kind of narrow in scope but I like the architectural elements so far! I say keep working on it so it's more than a test level. :)
Dreadful
Hey, does Quiver run natively or do I need to install X11 and all that junk? Which compiling tools (bsp/light/vis) are you using with Quiver? I am definitely going to release it once I work a few more things out. The list of stuff that needs doing never seems to end. PLEASE keep an eye on my blog because eventually I'm going to want to beta test it with some Mac users. And yeah, I did levels back in the day under the handle "Taskmaster". I also ran the original Multiplayer Quake web site. Those were the days... Well No Quiver just runs under OS classic, and all you need is quickdraw 3d (Free. If you dont already have it which i think you should, I believe it is on apple's website) and quake.. It is here:
http://developer.chaoticbox.com/quake.php?tab=mactools And it is equipped with its own compiler built in but it is crap, so I use the tools off of here: http://www.aegidian.org/gqt/ I would love to get a hold of your app once you let it out for beta. Do you have an estimate on the release date? ^_^ Ahh yeah, I've got the Giles tools as well. I compiled my own tools, actually, but they work as well as the Giles ones do.
As for an esimate I imagine it'll be ready for beta before the new year. Heh, err

btw: can i request the feature to select all faces that are coplanar to a currently selected face? it's the one thing i really missed when i moved from quark to gtkr. annoyingly, even 3ds max doesn't have that... �_�
