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 ;) you must manually set max_edicts in fitzquake.
start fq085, go in the console and type max_edicts 8192, now you should be able to load the level. (this also means you need to use sv_protocol 666) peopledontcaretounderstand
but I tried it and must admit it is good first stage of level mapping. I found a leak and 73 warnings and deleted the leak. And one thing stands..., map only when you're in love with it, not for others. Otherwise you'll loose. here's the demo and map: http://members.home.nl/gimli/njew.zip Thanks a lot for the clue: I was not aware it was working like this ;)
Note for myself: add set max_edicts 2048 in my cfg file :P I love quake id maps. Thank's for this compilation :)
I have a demo if anyone bothers. http://www.quaketastic.com/upload/files/demos/ankh_neq1p.zip that's what i have in my main autoexec in id1. i always force sv_protocol to be 666 as well as max_edicts. (a few other things like gl_farclip and other things i can't think of)
tbh, i don't really understand the point of max_edicts... why not just have maximum edicts of 8192 be attached to protocol 666, since that's probably one of the reasons you're running 666 anyway, instead of 15. Did E1 always have this many Fiends on skill 2? Being trapped by four fiends between E1M2 and E1M3 with the lousy early weapons, and no Quad, was pretty refreshing...
- you can go all the way up to 8192 edicts with protocol 15, it's only when passing that number that you need a new protocol (actually it can still work in protocol 15 but you will only hear sound effects from the first 8192 entities)
- fitz 0.80 can handle edicts up to 8192, 0.85 raised the limit to 32000 - the reason i didn't just set a really high default is there is a memory cost to having a huge edicts array even if it's not all used. it's not a big deal for modern computers but it does mean increasing your heapsize, which not everyone knows about. ...aguirRe's GLQuake v1.33 crashes my laptop at office: it enters an infinite loop somewhere and stuck the game (screen frozen, and buzzing sound).
fter some research on the internet, it seems it comes from the video card that does not like that much GL stuff... but why is it working fine with FitzQuake, and why is it working fine with GLQuake v1.31 ? Mystery.... That sounds like the choke that newer versions of FitzQuake (higher than 0.80) perform on my Macbook. After a few seconds, hard lock. The Macbook has an ATI card so that might explain it.
I�ve got a ATI850 Pro now and fitzquake dont work... got the screen all fuckedup!
joequake also got some problems with the command -bpp Qrack that is based on joequake works perfect... I need to try darkplaces and some others but I�m not having any time at home for nothing! randomly found this: http://villsa.wordpress.com/level-portfolio/quake/
@ Sock: Looks nicer and nicer everyday day !!
@Spirit: Am I dreaming or are there shots using Doom3 textures at the bottom of the thumbnails? these textures: http://villsa.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/quakepack15.jpg ?
they look like ogro textures or something similar to them, anyway. definitely not d3 though. Andtheyevenbodoredtodoso

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 definitely you're should finish it, i think this one could be very cool dm map Don't seem to get much/any feedback here nowadays, not sure why, maybe you are all sick to death of my screenshots, who knows!
Anyway someone requested a look at the gameplay logic for the puzzles I have created so here is another screenshot to confuse everyone, again. http://www.simonoc.com/images/design/maps_q3/moteof1cq3l.jpg oh the silence :p tbh, i *hate* the purple electrical shader. it doesn't go with anything at all. and not in the 'it makes a contrast with the wood and stone' way but more in the 'it looks like shit' way.
sorry. :S (the light blue looks fine though as it works well with the yellow lamps) also, in order for me to make those comments i had to copy/paste your images into photoshop and use the following settings for Levels: 0 1.0 100 they are nearly pitch black to me otherwise. also, is it sp playable? you said it was for (and i can see that it is) q3.
