Func_Msgboard: Three Old Quake 3 Maps Released By Bal

Posted by bal on 2005/01/30 05:35:44

Well, I finally got around to releasing all these old maps that have been lying around my hard-drive for the last 2 or 3 years now...
Hope someone still cares. =)

Bal3dm5 - Junk Data (aka, "soon")
Well, almost everyone on #terrafusion has already played this, but here it is, finally officially released...

Bal3void1 - Peaceful Holidays in Egypt
Some funky Pyramid map thingy I made while chatting with Sock on IRC years ago, probably not playable... =D

Bal3void2 - Malfunctioning Nano-Constructor
Some other funky giant piece of flying brushwork, not sure what I was thinking, probably not playable either... =D

Well, that's it for my Quake 3 mapping career, was a good engine to work with.
None of these maps have had so much beta-testing for proper gameplay, but thanks to Nanospawn and Ironhammer for doing a final check on them.

PS: Rejoice! For all three of these maps contain a large ammount of TRIANGULAR LIGHTS! yay.

I've gotten very inconsistent results with -skyfix, depending on the sky, and sometimes it makes the sky look equally iffy on nVidia and ATI cards alike.

It's worth trying, but is far from a reliable fix.

Really? I've never actually used it myself, I'm too lazy to add it. :P

wht do the bots suck on this so bad? there doesnt seem to be any special layout situations that should make them suck more than normal.

Nitin...

Dunno really, I barely tried them at all to be totally honest... =\
Heh, wasn't expecting people would actually try to play these maps... =D

why not? bal3dm5 is a perfectly playable map.

Gee

guess I should have released bal3dm5 3 years ago

OH

YOU THINK?

Bleh

Nitin, didn't think people actually played q3 anymore, especialy custom maps. =)

Lunaran, quiet you, go release Dune.

If you show me proof that at least one of these levels has flashing red lights, I will play them. If there are no flashing red lights, you have not improved at all in over 3 years.

There are no flashing red lights, but all 3 of these maps are 3 years old, so they don't represent any improvement I could have made during those 3 years, as I barely touched them at all during that time.
If I made a new map now it would make these look like boxmaps. =D

but they'd be awesome animu keke flashing red triangle light boxmaps ^_^

Wait A Mo....

Malfunctioning Nano-Constructor

--- this name is straight from Lun's excellent D3 map name generator, right?? LOL =).

Hehe

Does sound like it, but no, actually it's more your fault Shambler, was reading Chasm City when I finished the map off, and I was wondering how to describe it... Sounded kinda right, some nanomachine gone crazy and building random structures. =)

Eh?

#64 posted by Shambler on 2005/02/08 04:58:33

some nanomachine gone crazy and building random structures. =)

Sorry, is that an explanation of the map name, or a description of you as a mapper??

Hmmm

I'm not sure anymore... -____-

"nanomachine Gone Crazy"
