that they make used to really piss me off/freak me out 

I can hardly relate them to any sound, that's a small problem to me.
Sofar I can make them visible in Quake, but Doom has that 16bit texture that's horrible to substitute in Wally.

Further I get the nasty habbit, that when I export them to a modelling studio they immedeately start with vertices mixedup.
So I have to counterpart all loosing frames.
Most important is getting a good base/tex frame. 

So who is working on stuff? I'm doing a medieval map at the moment that's already running me over an hour in VIS time - not sure why, but it is. I don't intend for it to be massive though.

Anyone else? 

On playing with textures for a project I'll be starting based off whether I can get the textures to feel/look how I want them to. 

release soon... :\ i realy want to start a fresh no stuff 

just my tower map atm. i seem to be stuck though. :P 

until I start to hate it all over again, and then I'll go back to the thing I haven't put up in the editor in over a year and if it looks slightly less repulsive than I remember, I might get that one to Alpha. 

I'm working on the doom monsters for quake, but it's hard to substitute their sprite attacks. Quake won't give me more than one frame mdl seq. 

Long time finishing, but what's already been completed is a great incentive. 

How much is finished so far, ijed? 

~9 maps in beta.

We're basing all the code off the gameplay needed in the maps, meaning as the maps get closer to completion more entities will probably be introduced.

The basic stuff like old, known bugs and a completely reworked multiplayer system is close to finished.

New enemy list:

Axegrunt
Nailgrunt
Berserk Ogre
Nail Ogre
Vomitus
Lavaman (subject to change)

New Behaviours:
Spawning (Quoth style)
Sleeping
Dodging (mild)
Flagged 'Wargear' (some monsters can carry extra stuff)
General AI improvements
Monster grouping

And lots of stuff in the works. 

Lavaman (subject to change)

Is that, like, the miniature Chthon? I didn't like those a single bit. 

That's why we're thinking to change them - a scaled down chthon doesn't add much. 

I was melting some archville mdl.
What a creep that qmle and verticecounts.

Not going to blast the player in place?

Like the walk animation. 

It's a tryout for seeing how far I could imitate its original sprite.
For testing the walk scene I just put notarget. 

That looks great. What a creepy bastard! Textures/Skins are always the "yay or nay" parts, it definitely is on a good way. 

The ZdoomGl monsters have their sprites in mdl.
I was trying to combine them in Qmle, but it�s a hazerdly job.
Qmle is extremely worried about the same verticecounts, even when they are the same.

My goal is to give them the same look as in Doom, but mdl will never substitute a sprite.
And yes, texturing is almost as far from mapping as modelling is to texturing. 

just started mapping again for the first time in AGES and managed to get a nearly finished base map to very nearly complete. I imagine there will be a beta ready soon. Anyone interested in testing? It's my v.late basepak map ;)

On another note, I looked at another big nearly finished map I have and had loads of ideas for fixing it, so maybe I will finally get that out early next year too :) 

ye, keep then coming!!! 

Been looking forward to this one for a while. What's the status on APSP3 btw? 

APSP3 PLZ KTX LOL 

than you are a inspiracion to all the mappers...

when i growup i want to map like you!!! 

 

get a move on!!!

Than: I would really love to test your maps should you so wish sir, it would be an honour!

(drool...)
