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.

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 well, it's nothing new as it's just the maps we all know. i just thought it was cool to be able to move freely about between them, but i guess it's less cool to everyone else, lol ^_^
Looking forward to play this!!!!
But I'm @ office and Fruitz Of Dojo's Gl Quake crashes badly. Fitzquake 0.80 the same. Can't wait to get home! you'll need fq 0.85 atleast :(
goes over quite a few limits, clipnodes, edicts, faces, etc... the funny thing is that it only takes 7 minutes for a full level 4 vis (the whole thing is about 7300 brushes). just goes to show how huge a difference it makes when you have maps designed like id vs maps with outdoors or terrain or whatever. haha this is really cool necros!!! i played up until the third map, got kinda boring - same old thing we've played 100 times already. but it was neat seeing each new map joined up. goes to show how far we've come that we can glue an entire id episode into 1 map!
if your joining more up, you should do a mass find/replace on the textures and replace them all to more modern textures. that'd look cool. perhaps these bugs are actually in the source
any misaligned textures that are off by an even amount (like 32 or 64) are probably caused by me.
the import map function in sikkpin's editor is kind of iffy. it's supposed to import a map into the same position as it's source is in, but sometimes it picks random positions to import to. this means that just turning on texture lock isn't enough because the map is imported with incorrect texture coords. also, e1m3 was rotated 270 degrees. it's the reason there's a hallway between e1m3 and e1m4. rotating the map screwed up all the doors and func_trains (of which e1m3 had a few iconic ones) so when i came to e1m4, instead of rotating it, i left it alone and made the hall. anyway, yeah, it gets boring after a while cause there's nothing new. anyway, taking a break on my other q1 maps, so now, using this as a base, i want to do something similar to the kind of thing we saw in doom maps like e3m9 (which was e3m1 reversed) or plutonia map 32 which was map01 from doom2 but with added areas. someone make it news!
You are an ass, necros. At least you could have said "this took a month and was really hard work". Or screw up something (the secret lift at the start of the underwater houses map did not work for me). You are awesome. Skill 3: http://www.quaketastic.com/upload/files/demos/ne_qep1_spiritfirstrun.zip Necros you are fast as a bullet! nice work
http://www.quaketastic.com/upload/files/misc/scrap.zip I lost all my interesing on mapping, plus people dont like much my maps anyway(to dark, to blocky, to linear) so why loose time with then? Email some friends some time ago to ask what they think of the map in progress... if i should finish this map or not and they even didn�t respond... One of those friends I�m a little disappointed... didn�t expected this attitude from him, but this is internet and nobody is nobody friend this is just the proof!!! I think nobody cares, so why should i care? if anyone want to finish this for a speed map be my guest! bye "I lost all my interesing on mapping, plus people dont like much my maps anyway(to dark, to blocky, to linear) so why loose time with then?"
Because you enjoy it? Don't map to please other people, map because you want to. most people create maps for themselves and friends and usually have a blast showing off their new found skills, but mapping is no easy journey. If you don't listen to feedback from others, accept changes to your maps or want to learn new ways to map (design and visually) then it will seem tedious after a while.
Actually fitz0.85 does not work, as I have a Host error: too much edicts, as edicts exceeds 1024...
aguirRe's GLQuake (v1.31) is working fine OTOH) so I've been able to play it :) Anyway, thanks a lot for this cool stuff !!! PS: I'm just wondering how interseting it would be to group map per theme (base / medieval / runic) using the same idea you used for episode 1... Maybe using Quoth for gravity change and new monster add-on.. a kind of "Quothed" Quake Theme Remake ;)
