Func_Msgboard: New Q1SP: "Dry Sorrow" By Tronyn

Posted by metlslime on 2011/01/30 03:13:22

Tronyn has released a new map, a small Egyptian/industrial Q1SP based on an old DM map.

Screenshots: 1 2
Download map: here (2.8 MB)
Drake mod (required): here. (16.3 MB)

Tronyn says:
If you play this map, I'd recommend going through the first door you encounter in the map the first time it opens, since that will be the only time it does (thanks to Spirit for pointing out this large flaw). Thankfully if you get trapped and have to hit kill you'll be no worse off given that the door is right by the spawnspot.

I guess I could have addressed this and delayed the release more, but not releasing anything at all during 2010 pissed me off, and this release is not much that said. PM is on hiatus at the moment and I've decided to finish the maps I have with the resources I have. This one map is only the first of several which will appear in the next month or two using this mod.

Nevermind, appears you actually can gib with the chainsaw...

Also, I found all three secrets but the quad at the start wasn't one of them? Was there some obvious way of acquiring it that I simply overlooked?

Tronyn...

Would you consider adding skill settings to your next map?

The beginning of your map reminded me of this:

Skill 0 has like half the enemies on other skills, and you can wipe out the big horde of Grunts right away with the new DBS.

I do miss that hen shooter game though...

Hehe

i switched to skill0 after dying on skill1 and found the map completely empty. i actually went back to skill1 because of that. ^_^;

Played this map before i had Drake, and then again with the mod. Hmmm.... I kind-of prefered it without that bouncing laser thing, the out of place chainsaw, new shottie sound and nailgun wielding ogres. Anyway, loved it the first time round, and it's probably hard to give it a fair go second time.
Great Tronyn gameplay and though the start was tough (i think i got it second go) the map was fairly well balanced imho. +1 the spiked sliding door.

and Negke has a barny over a door. Wot...!

I don't get what the obsession with Nailgun Ogres is.

Grenades is what makes the Ogre unique, give him nails and you've taking away the Ogre's most important feature. Especially stood next to a phalanx of Enforcers.

Would further note that nails are annoyingly hard to see, add to this a scatter fire and they're pretty annoying. Nailgun for Ogres that are below the player would be okay mind. But otherwise, gimme grenades to dodge!

Agree

I suppose there's a reason why id changed the Ogres from using nails to using grenades, after all...

Ogres Should Have

nail grenades!

Best compromise I could come up with.

Huh?

Shush, U

Flak Grenade?

#62 posted by jt_ on 2011/02/03 23:53:26

Isn't that just a regular grenade? Or is there a subtle difference between flak and shrapnel that I'm unaware of? :P

#63 posted by Yhe1 on 2011/02/04 01:50:02

A nailgun and a grenade launcher.

Sorta like the avp2 pulse rifle.

Nice Map

Looked great. I had no problems with the 1st room being to hard because I played on easy, which really was easy. Had plenty of stuff all the time.

8:46, 1/3, 59/67 (no rockets to kill last zombies)

I even have a demo:

Cheers!

Maybe The LG Should Have Been The Chainsaw Instead

I GUARANTEE that anyone who likes quake, will like unforgiven. at least, I think it's some of my best shit. anyway!

Oops

#74 posted by dfsp_spirit on 2011/02/06 12:55:54

I don't have drawing of weapon models enabled and don't know the mod, I didn't even know I had a chainsaw tbh. Should turn weapon models on, hehe. I'll do it when I find the time to replay the map on higher skill setting.

#75 posted by gb on 2011/02/06 17:47:28

Tronyn, I think I was overly critical when I first played this... I'll give it another try.
