-Fuhquake "manual" is at fuhquake.quakeworld.nu
-You can try the gl_part_ things in console -run with command line -no24bit -do something to (rename?) the pak files in fuhquake/ Fuhquake doesn't have a real single player mode, it actually starts an internal zquake server and connects to it, so there's qw physics with monsters (I don't remember if the shambler rockets thing was fixed). If you want something really faithful, use zquake (fuhq's daddy), although it might not have all the latest technology. With fuhquake you can also play qw around the world! Just get all-seeing eye to find servers. Btw just played rpgdm1 for the first time vs a friend and it rocked. Thanks to the maker and also blob who put it on his duel servers! when I say zquake is faithful, I mean faithful graphically.
I don't know if there's some mod that makes qw use sp physics, or if it's even possible to have such. DO NOT use GtkRadiant 1.5, unless you really love the taste of arse. Try it if you don't believe me... you'll see what I'm talking about very quickly, especially as you've been using proper radiant.
Try this site, it has instructions on how to set up GtkRadiant (non-arse version) for Q1 editing: http://industri.sourceforge.net/howto.php Note: this may not work perfectly with Gtk 1.4, as that may have some files set up differently. Ask me for help if you need it! Works very well for me. The only problems I have are with complex brush manipulation - GTK doesn't have a "skewer" like Hammer does, and so when I tried to convert over some of CZG's pipe-bending tutorials to GTK I never got it right, even with RPG helping me out. Other than that, I find 1.5 to be a very solid tool.
Try holding CTRL and then skew the brush by holding down the left mouse button + moving the mouse (position the cursor near the edge you're wanting to skew).
The skew feature isn't really documented anywhere but its there, probably still works in 1.5 Does anyone here play WoW on the EU servers?
Im currently a lvl 13 paladin on Aggramar server and want to get some serious shit going on. it works, but if you have a multiple brush selection or complex brushes then you usually get problems. The Wolf level I built recently is mostly built on the axis, but about a 3rd is built at 45 degrees, and another section is built at 22.5 degrees. I certainly had fun with radiant trying to keep all the brushes valid during edits. Worldcraft is great because it doesn't care about brushes being invalid, so you can keep changing the shape using vertex manipulation until it's right.
Mind you, WC constant mode changing is HORRIBLE after you have used radiant for a while. Radiant is soooo delicious once you get used to it. What's so bad about 1.5 frib? Worldcraft is great because it doesn't care about brushes being invalid, so you can keep changing the shape using vertex manipulation until it's right.
Oh gods yes. This is one thing I totally took for granted in Hammer. Now i'm using DoomEdit and this whole "brushes can't become invalid at any stage during vertex edits" thing is like �_� It makes you think pretty damn hard about how to do stuff though. In WC, you didn't really need to think about stuff too hard, it was fairly easy to just knock up some crazy shit, but radiant is always trying to correct stuff for you - often even when the brush is not even slightly invalid.
I also found WC edge manipulation a bit nicer, as it worked well on multiple brush selections better. However, I'll stick up for radiant again and say that both the ability to move stuff in the 3d window, and the ease of which you can drag edges without using edge or vertex edit modes (click near a brush face and drag away) are amazingly awesome. The 3 point clipper is pretty darn handy too! The latest version of Radiant 1.5 that I've tried--which admittedly is rather old--has fixed many of the complaints I had with previous versions of 1.5. Skew is notably absent, by SPoG may have relented and added it since I got this version 6 months ago.
Does anyone here play WoW on the EU servers?
Level 29 Tauren druid on The Maelstrom. However, the number of different servers ensures that it's quite unlikely to end up on the same one with a friend/e-buddy unless you plan it beforehand. The problem with 1.5 is that the core editing functionality has fundamentally changed. I couldn't be arsed going into detail right now - as you're an experienced Radiant user, just download 1.5 and see what I mean for yourself. Take a quick look at this old-ass thread in Mapping Help if you want a better idea:
http://www.celephais.net/board/view_thread.php?id=4&start=2437 1.5 now works as 1.4 by default with all the face/vert selection and stuff, there's special button to disable/enable that

click links 1-9 Kaiser made a new single player map.
http://www.pcgamemods.com/12283/ He once again delivers a map chock full of what he's best at, so if you liked his last map for the lack of ammo and health, lack of room to move around, and lack of any idea where the hell you're supposed to be going, this is the map for you! Some screenshots: http://home.houston.rr.com/svkaiser/Doom/kd2_2.jpg http://home.houston.rr.com/svkaiser/Doom/kd2_5.jpg http://home.houston.rr.com/svkaiser/Doom/kd2_8.jpg For the new Kaiser map...
Honestly, I think it's not too bad. He's certainly very good with detail. His map does LOOK professional. The architecture and lighting are very good. The layout I think are also very interesting - it's not TOO hard to get lost, but I was never lost like "wtf am I supposed to go now???" It more along the lines of "I'm lost, I'll back track - ah, there we go." He has some good scripted sequences. I'll admit that. I wish he had maybe a few more instead of like 4 in a row at the beginning. But, the gameplay is pretty stale. It's very boring, cramped straight-hall way type of gameplay. In bigger rooms he'll spawn monsters all around you, which isn't TOO much of a problem, it's just annoying because it seems to be his only trick to spice up the combat. "Ok, I'll have him fight 70 monsters in a row, then trick him by spawning 15 monsters behind him!! har har har!!" But then, can you really blame him, or is it the way Doom 3 combat is TAILORed around? Overall, it's way better than his other one. I've played it on skill 1, haven't finished it yet, but it's still a lot better than his other map. You know the one. He once again delivers a map chock full of what he's best at, so if you liked his last map for the lack of ammo and health, lack of room to move around, and lack of any idea where the hell you're supposed to be going, this is the map for you!
Of course it isn't in the same league as the Doom3 stuff the Human Eyebrow has released Not rainy, but I've got the hayfever.
Thank you, CZG. There are alot of good ideas in this pack. But, the gameplay is pretty stale. It's very boring, cramped straight-hall way type of gameplay.
Well, it is a Doom3 map. I'm trying to compile a list of as many maps people have made with my textures as possible. So far I have:
Me: Duhr Killer: http://www.planetquake.com/killer/maps.asp Fistful of Steel - mksteel Vorsprung durch Vernichtung - mkvdv Technophobia - mktech Iron Oxide for Q3:A - mkoxide RPG: http://rpg.spawnpoint.org/maps.html A Genius Trapped in an Idiot's Mind - RPGDM1 (with others) Trial by Error - RPGDM2 Bal: http://bal.spawnpoint.org/gallery/q3maps Scrap Metal 2 - Bal3DM4 Alk: http://ethereal-hell.telefragged.com/mylevels/ Journey - alkdm14 Glassman: http://www.glassman.mistral.co.uk/ Exercise Three - gm3dm1 Until The Next Life - gm3tourney1 MagicWalker: http://www.henslfuk.nl/magic/index.htm Dislocated Shoulder - mw3DM1 Fear Factory - ra3MW2 Charon: http://www.interactivedeath.net/ Stir Fried Rocks Attack - charon3DM12 (with others) Squid - charon3DM13 (with others) blaster9 - Lune-Base - http://lvlworld.com/comments.php?id=1480 That's all I could scrounge up on Google before the signal to noise ratio became too high - am I missing any important/obvious ones that for some reason aren't that high on a search? If any of you have done/seen maps with Lunaran textures in them, please let me know.
