I've got e3m2 and e3m3 rebuilt and connected, e3m7 is connected and partially rebuilt, with backwards access to e3m3 via a remake of a section of e3m6. I just need to find a suitable end arena...Penile Devastation perhaps? Anyhoo, much larger than this and limits start to become a problem. If I can get it all glued together Necros, how do you feel about dropping in the gameplay? 

that sounds impressive. :)

sure, yeah, if you get the brushwork together, i think i could put some monsters in. 

megaboner 

when are we going to see a necros-tronyn megaproject ? 

well I have one map which includes some necros scraps

maybe next fall if necros is up for it. I'd like to try building something directly inspired by Piranesi after I get all my current in-progress Drake maps done. 

Wow, I love his drawings!

his stuff is pretty wild, although i wonder how well that will translate to quake due to the wide open nature of his drawings (at least, those prison ones). 

The smoking fire and the drawbridge might. 

I cleaned up everything I had for my silly non-violent bunny hugging game and also even already fixed a bug or two. Hopefully I will finish it this year...

Not much too do actually. But, well, I hacked this together 4 years ago and did not care about anyone trying to make sense of it in the future.

Anyone got an idea how to get bright neon pink as blood in Darkplaces? I am using a particlefont.tga at the moment and it always looks really dark.

When I look at those rabbits faces, I have impression they just wait for getting the RL out of the pockets and to start the carnage. You can almost feel the tension in the air :). 

first thing i thought when i saw the screenshot was SSG and "wascali wabbits". 

That reminds me of the Watership Down mod that was once being developed for Quake 2 before moving on to another engine and into incompleteness...

was just gonna say 'you can't drop a hint about a map you're making without posting shots!' :P

all of them look great, but shot4 looks really cool! more of that please! 

lighting in shot 3 looks a little bland but the rest is swell. not played any hl2 custom maps yet 

HL2 Episode 2 is very nice, but is not as fun as Quake!

But is a nice game visualy and in gameplay

Map looks good Pulsar, looking forward to seeing more 

I seem to recall saying in January that my map was at least playable from beginning to end. Well I was lying. However, NOW it is...

Anyone interested in some Easy or Medium skill testing for me? :E 

My email address is in my profiler ;) 

Oh hell, no. 

It's under 300 on normal! :E 

452 monsters!!!

WTF I demand more secrets :p 3 is very few... 

Ye haven't added all of them yet. I'm not very good at secrets, was always crap at finding them myself and thinking of interesting places for them is tricky :p 

It's interesting to me how monster counts in custom maps skyrocketed while secrets have not. A typical E1 map has 30-40 monsters and 6 secrets. That's 1 secret for every 6-7 monsters! Now we have 5x or 10x the monsters but 6-7 is still the upper bound for secrets. ( I think warpspasm had more though?)

I know it's easier to drop 50 knights in a room than design 5 interesting secrets, but I think it's something people should focus more time on.

And , secrets don't always need to have a complicated mechanism or lead to a new area- if you can hide something in a dark corner or on top of a pile of crates, that's already a reward for exploring with not too much effort and no new brushwork. 

So what you're saying is I need about 75 secrets? :P

I'll take that as a personal challenge...
