Yeah, maps from any game are fine really. As was said, it's fun to look at nicely made stuff regardless of what engine it's in. Quake1 is preferred, obviously, but not mandatory.

I love that there's a place where that's true!

I like the arched window detail.

That's Q1 rite? :P 

and kind of like, drab in a good way. 

Put some rubbish mapobjects in the corners - rotting wet newspaper, piles of ash and stones, maybe a scorch mark here or there. 

Very nice ! Add details here and there (crates, pipes, barrels, etc... ) and it will be top notch :) 

Kind of has an Unreal Tournament kind of feel to it. I forget the name of the map, but I'm thinking of the one in the parking garage...

2009-09-08 00:39:40 (@megmn): so solid
2009-09-08 00:39:41 (@Zwiffle): that's pleasant
2009-09-08 00:41:12 (@Fjoggs): looks rctw'ish
2009-09-08 00:41:18 (@Fjoggs): *rtcw 

with the details though. i like the general sizes of the larger brushwork-the solidness-but the details have a bit of the 'brushes that don't look right' feeling. If that makes sense et all. 

reminds me of a cementized version of q1met. :P 

The horizontally ruled cement is from ET, the wood is from RTCW, the rest are mine. Anything not mine will be replaced before anything is re-done before I release anything, I just need placeholders because texture stuff is tedious! :D 

"will be replaced before I release anything." ..... 

I'd always wondered why it was such a cause of pain.

u rock btw, awesome warm looking woods and pro shading 

The second shot is -spectacular-! 

That's nice! 

 

Started with a lift shaft and a junction room and merged them into each other. The woodwork design is based on my memories of wood beam structures in cellars and under floor boards. Took me a long time to find the look I wanted and lighting, many versions. I know it is not perfect, but it is interesting enough for a connecting space. 

Except maybe having a hanging lamp type thing in the centre.

did this on saturday, it's e1m1 -> e1m7 glued together in one giant map (minus e1m8 because it would have required a mod to get the gravity to work).

i kept my own mapping down to a minimum and only built two very small areas to help connect the maps together, but apart from that, the exits from previous maps connect directly to the entrance for the next map.

in particular, it's cool to be able to run all the way across e1m2 to e1m5 and back.

eventually, i want to paste the medieval and metal DM maps in as well and connect everything into a very non-linear single map and basically double up on monsters to bring it more in line with modern difficulty levels or something, but i wanted to put this out first in it's original form.

have fun. :P 

Should have required a dedicated news thread !!!
