...Just had a quick trip through Tchak. It's easily the best architecture you ever produced, and it does not seem far from complete... Why don't you finish up this one? The old ones will thank you for eternity...
As JPL said, take it easy, anything within the next 50 years or so is good... I'd say welcome to func_msg but it looks like you've been registered for a while :O Post more :)
well.. with 2 people leaving, I don't think I can anywhere NEAR fill that spot. I have however started on a q1 dm map. I'll post pics and throw around downloads in #terrafusion for playtesting sessions and feedback. Hopefully people actually record demos so I can watch though (I'm looking at YOU inertia ;)
Sad to see you go Trinca, but I can understand not having much time at all (now that I've just recently got a daughter). Make sure you keep in touch in irc like you promised :) Speeds.. noooo oh well! hehe I hope this means that you will map for a newer game maybe? I hope so! "(now that I've just recently got a daughter)"
roulfff i got two boys ;) one with 5 ~years and another with 3 month almost Email it... and get your damn server working so we can playtest!
I'll see if I can run a non-retarded server, actually... I might have an old kteams mod somewhere. One of the stuff i like more in this community is the way people participate...
people like Willem, necros, kell, madfox and others that like to see people comment there�s maps and then don�t comment at all of just comment the great map that old dudes that map something like 5 or more years make great maps... or receiving emails about Quoth2 and never responded� is a very mature way to deal with people� I already got two kids I don�t have to take care of other�s people kids. Apart from family this is my second major reason is very satisfied to make a map and having 2 demos... and only 20 comments... is really very motivated... honestly take me almost all motivation because i don�t just map for fun, i also map to keep this community alive and to have feedback from the people... my maps suck? they might i have really few time to map so i cant progress as much as i wanted to... When i started my last map in progress tchak is invested lots of time in it and then i realise that scale is all fuckedup and will loose something like one fucking year to map for nobody reply or just to condemn the than bastard... This made me think?!?!? does is worth finish? Honestly i don�t think so... Why waste my precious time on mapping if nobody cares about it and just love the fucking work of professionals? I would like that people could all be like Shambler, he always make comments bad or good is a way that he have to reattribute us, i wish that someday the few that we are don�t let this die because IF U FUCKING PLAY THE MAP YOU HAVE A FUCKING MORAL OBRIGACION TO COMENTS EVEN IF IT USES 2 LINES OR A STUPID DEMO DIEING AT START WITH 10 OR 20 KILLS. ok ok, i�ve said what I had stuck in my trough. P.S-> I now my English sucks, sorry for that but my Portuguese is much better then anyone in here. thks god that some people in this community still rock! god bless Spirit, JPL, Ricky, Negke, ORL, Sielwolf, Shambler, HT, Hrim e.t.c sorry for those that i didn�t add. Whatever happened to mapping
If you're looking for comments and stroking after each release you're doing it for the wrong reasons, IMO. Do it for yourself. I didn't write ToeTag to hear anyone's oohs or aaahs. I did it because it was a tool that I wanted to write. Have fun doing it because you WANT to or don't do it at all. I'm sorry that you now feel the need to lump me in with the "bad guys" now but that's fine. I'm one of those old school bastards you seem to generally dislike anyway. IF U FUCKING PLAY THE MAP YOU HAVE A FUCKING MORAL OBRIGACION TO COMENTS EVEN IF IT USES 2 LINES OR A STUPID DEMO DIEING AT START WITH 10 OR 20 KILLS.
like hell you do. feedback comes at the user's discretion and should never be taken for granted. if i felt forced to leave a comment i'd probably be less inclined to. anyone interested in checking out my first map?
check it out here: http://quake3world.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=37351 also, im having some trouble with creating the Hey man - its cool to see a first map, for Quake3!
Looking at the shots I would say that you definately need to texture your map! The lighting looks OK, but I would guess it's hard to judge the lighting properly on an untextured map. But then again what do I know - everybody has a different way of mapping! Although for me the texturing is always used from the start, it is kind of an integral part of the theme. For me ultimately the textures I use will have an effect on the layout of the map, but others will disagree with me on that one.... nice work :P I have never made a Quake3 map, and unfortunately I dont have a copy of Quake3, so I cant try it out . . . Trinca - Your last map is on QuakeOne.com, and my last map isnt!! Your map got some great reviews! Hehe - your a fine mapper! Now go map. it looks like he's sorting out the gameplay and proportions/scale first, which is actually a good approach since once you make some cool detailed geometry, it can be harder to change/delete it for gameplay's sake.
No more shots please!
(joke) Well I've never even made a deathmatch map! So I cant really say anything about that. I'm just not used to things which are som much still WIP, or even to see things which are almost finished but completely one-colored! There goes more evidence of my amateurish approach to things... While I can't map with the laptop when on the road, Blender works fine, so I've been doing some more of the next best thing, modeling:
There is a monster from one of the Quake2 mission packs whose design, animation and attacks I have taken a shine too. I forget which of the packs it is from, but I found it repackaged in a mod called XXX. I'm more fussy about copyrighted material now than I was a few years ago when using Daikatana textures didn't phase me, so instead of just repackaging it in a mod, I decided to ripoff the original with a variation of the design from scratch of my own. http://mortisville.quakedev.com/snapper1.jpg The model on the left is the original, the one on the right is the one I made this afternoon. Note the use of edge loops in my baby. Here are a few more angles: http://mortisville.quakedev.com/snapper2.jpg http://mortisville.quakedev.com/snapper4.jpg http://mortisville.quakedev.com/snapper5.jpg and a final dramatic render: http://mortisville.quakedev.com/snapper1_1.jpg Thank you for your time, you may now go back to discussing our screwed up sapien species and the validity of mental states on a subjective or scientific level (woah, not judging here, you are all beautiful and unique in my eyes, except for you, inertia). it's the stalker from the ground zero pack. I noticed you took all the edges/spikes away which made the original quite fierce looking, the head looks kinda stump now.
But maybe you're going for some cute n cuddly monster :) I'm going for a more organic Quake feel instead of the biomechanical Quake 2.
The overall plan this badboy is to have a one level total conversion ready for the QExpo. I'm working on the animation right now. Modeling and skinning I feel confident about, but I suck at animation. Except that I can't tell what the hell it's supposed to look like right now. I might have more luck once it has a skin...
