Func_Msgboard: Map Jam 7

Posted by ionous on 2016/07/22 09:36:32

The time has come once again.
The time to go forth and map, IDbase style. More specifically, Than�s APSP2, a loving ode to water, pipes and plumbers. Map Jamming is about creating maps of any size or detail level over several weeks, using a certain theme and/or texture set.

For this seventh of maps jams, the Quoth mod with be employed. Grab it here:

Here's what I've got going on. Also got a lot of work coming up though, so I might have to trim back my ambitions to make the deadline! D:

Looks great text fish!

I Simply Don't Have The Time.

I would love to jump in on this mapjam, but I am traveling for the next couple weeks. I will peep in to check out what other people are up to.

Sweet! You nailed the lighting on the insides. And the way you cut those wall panels on the outsides look like the texture was made for it. Loving it.

As of me... blocking out like crazy.

Looks Good, Text_Fish!

Dat Yellowish Light

Looks very nice

That outside section is the correct answer to the map jam :)

A Fine Start

#51 posted by ionous on 2016/07/25 22:02:40

Looking very good, Text_Fish. Keep at it!

Oh, and going to be mapping in about two hours or so. Probably starting off with some Shape of Despair.

FULLBRIGHT

Crappy fullbright shot. Just wanted to see how the scale seemed in-game. Admittedly, better than I thought:

here they are:

some of the blue lights weren't available in yellow, and vice-versa.

so I fixed that.

Thanks Shamblernaunt

#57 posted by ionous on 2016/07/27 22:48:51

Some nice variations.

Oh, and I'm mapping again today. In about thirty minutes. Monolithe is on deck today.

Thanks for the encouraging words everyone. Progress is going slow but but at least it's still going!

Ionous your streams have been great, I generally have them open on my second screen and try my best not to copy you. :P

Blockout Progressing

#59 posted by Danrul on 2016/07/28 02:30:57

I've made the conscious decision to not start textures/detailed GEO until the basic layout is mostly complete, because I usually get bogged down in detail too early in a build. So while my progress shot isn't as pretty as TF & ionous', it's what I have

I Think I'm Getting A Hang Of This!

#60 posted by schnedwob on 2016/07/28 09:49:00

A couple ugly fullbright screens to show my bits of progress so far. For some reason I've been thinking a lot about the Oddworld games, and Rupture Farms specifically.

I Like The Gore.

Gorey Stuff

#62 posted by FifthElephant on 2016/07/28 12:46:42

I don't think I've seen this use of crates in a quake Base map

Looks Great Everyone!

#63 posted by mjb on 2016/07/28 13:22:09

YES

#64 posted by PyroGXPilot on 2016/07/28 22:09:28

Shamblers gotta have crates full of meat!

Appreciate The Feedback!

#65 posted by Schnedwob on 2016/07/28 22:50:52

I'm going for sort of a slaughterhouse/meat processing facility thing. After all, a blood sacrifice works just as well whether or not the blood's pre-packaged.

People Are Doing Stuff!

#66 posted by ionous on 2016/07/28 23:17:20

Danrul: Hey, whatever method works for you. It's certainly a lot more disciplined than my process.

Schnedwob: Yeah, I'd definitely agree you're getting the hang of things. A fine start.
