looks kind of nice, but really needs as much detail as you can pump into it. Rocks, bushes, smaller structures and ruins, etc. This is both for visual interest, and also to break up the large, open areas into smaller spaces where the fighting can be more interesting. Also, i'd like to see more detail on the structures you already have... I do like the "Star Trek set" feeling, but overall the map is too sparse. Maybe with q3 vis, this is as good as you can do without killing framerate, i don't know. 

ok, well, that's not the real name, but i haven't come up with a good one yet.

this is just a 30 minute reskinning here... that's the hellknight's face and body pasted on there... not sure whether i should cover the arms with hknight armor or not.

anyway, opinions:

cover the shoulders. and the crystal on the stick looks silly, too bright. other wise looks fine for an egyptian map. 

Definitely cover the shoulders. I think the crystal is fine but should be on a wooden shaft. I also find the blood a lottle gratuitious. 

blood looks cool, keep it.

pushplay, gratitious blood? Were talking about quake here, not Mr.Rogers. :P 

to get it to mix in with the regular quake monsters. it's not going to appear in an egyptian map, hence, the armor and face transplant. i'll see if i can get some shoulders on the sucker. thanks for the comments 

Less is more when it comes to blood and violence. What was more violent: the Reservoir Dogs ear scene that was out of frame, or the buckets of blood in Kill Bill? The latter was stylish, but it wasn't as gruesome. 

good looking skin job there -- he looks like a real bruiser 

I am in the middle of watching Jackie Brown for the second time this week. I watched pulp fiction + jackie brown + kill bill all last monday. It owned so hard! <3 tarintino forever. 

I'll give you a hint. It is on Bridget Fonda's bodice. 

but it's the model's fault, not yours necros. :P 

scampie: alternate routes - upper and lower :P yeah, it's a default CTF s-bend layout. It's my first terrain map and the easiest way to do it. Re: the trees - they definatelt shouldn't block movement, but blocking shots...hmm. Perhaps. It would make attacking flag-carriers who choose the lower route across the valley floor harder to snipe from on-high, forcing defenders to intercept at ground level. Might be a good call. Will add wepclip and see.

metl: I would like to have more detail, I really would. But this is Q3CTF and the framerate is already low what with all the trees and pillars. The terrain could maybe be more 'crinkly' at a lower level of detail to provide more nooks and crannies, but bot movement is also an issue. I'll take a look around and see where I can modify the heightmap without crumpling the whole map up like an old receipt.

thx for feedback 

necros: bah, I like the Quake font - no-one else uses it, so I do ^_^ and it looks like pseudo-classical, same as the architecture in the map.










I'm a goth. It's incurable. 

i thought it was the truetype symbol font that comes with windows... it certainly looks like it with the greek letters.

anyway, it's not a big deal... i played the map with some bots and i didn't really notice them too much.
the maps looks really good in action, actually.

as someone who likes the railgun, i enjoyed the gameplay of the map with all the longrange shooting, but for someone who doesn't like it, they may not enjoy the map as much... if you were to add more cover in the central area and maybe some inside areas would help that?

remember though, i don't know much about dm gameplay, so take what i said with some salt, eh? :) 

It is easier to lend a model, than actually make one of your own.
And those vertices keep freaking around.

baby zombies? :)

the skeleton model looks like it's going to be a pain in the ass to skin...

the frame that it's on right now looks a little... wooden, like it's constipated or something... make the arms hang to the side in a more relaxed fashion, make it look more natural. how would a reanimated skeleton that can tear your eyes out look? 

That is, because the poor thing was running for hell while I made the screenshot.
I made a Qmle-pic. Q1 player models sets on 408 vertices, I am already on 831.

And it ain't has a weapon yet... 

I'm going to focus on vertical fighting for this one.

http://quake.phait-accompli.com/crap/ph8dm2-a.jpg 

just becareful with those vertices... the regular glquake limit is 1024 and the software quake limit is 2000. if you go over the limit, the game crashes... :( 

phait: that isnt a wall texture. it looks weird 

it's fine as a wall texture if you add more details like columns or whatever to break up the space.

also, wtf you want more vertical fighting and you show a half finished flat room? get more done before you start showing things most people do in 15 mins of mapping. 

...me Bones are too small... 

but, rooms like that take me hours to build!
scampie: dont hate on the dude just because im the only one slower than he is 

Scampie has a good point, I just haven't mapped since PH8DM1 and got happy. 

I'm a goth

That's sooooooooooooooooo un-gothy :p
