well, the joke was that 69 was a really large number (since speedmap numbers were in the 30s at that time.) And that we were mapping really slow, so it would take until ~69 to actually finish our "speed chain map". Of course now the numbers are up past 150... so there was probably a real sm69, but this was unrelated to it.
also has something in the works, does he not?
And considering how SM has slowed down (as much my fault as anyone's I guess?) you have approximately 20 years to get it out by then Metl. @negke- The metal map I was making hung like stone around me, hooking off hom's ie. The respons on the beta were reasonable.
It's just the point mapping for weeks gets so usual I needed a break and got lost in Bioshock2. I installed QRadiant and became so excited by its exakt carving I imported my Quark map into it. When I made some additions I imported it back into Quark, but all my poly's were crunched(!>?). I can't make radiant compile within its programm self. I still have the intention to finish it, but I first have to outrun my textures. :P The start map, which I salvaged from a failed q1sp from 2008 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/33279452/dazbase1.jpg
Now work starts on the actual map that it links to :P #8107 by negke
I have a lot of maps almost there! But I haven't had the time to finish anything in quite a while. But it looks like I will have some spare time over the next months to finish something. I have the map pack I showed at the QExpo, Then there is one or two metal maps and there are the wery large base map I showed pics of over a year ago. So yes there are maps coming but don't ask when! I was wondering where you went Hrimfaxi. I always enjoy your maps.
Also Daz that looks weird in an awesome way! i remember that brushwork (the weird support things) from a screenshot from like 10 years ago :)
Wasn't Mike Woodham making a sequel to the map, which was one of the best maps in a single
Building a map out of scraps is a very difficult. I don't know how he managed to do it. My scrap-map has taken me easily the longest to do of any map. It certainly has a cool style about it but it does not feel right to me. I assume you are after feedback or suggestions?
http://www.simonoc.com/images/misc/dazbase1_feedback1.jpg I would suggest to make the platform thicker or with a nice chunky under-support. (Take the originally platform, drop it down and push it inwards to create a staggered effect) The far left floor support would look better push out at the top and maybe pushing through the floor above. The top supports would make more sense straight and pushing through the floor like a nut/bolt scenario. Also try the rocks a dark brown, it might look more harmonious. Also try the rocks a dark brown, it might look more harmonious.
I'll have to disagree - the gray rock works well because it makes the idbase texes stand out more. i like that rock texture too. i've never seen it before either. :)
but yeah, thanks for pointing out the support thing. it was kind of bugging me but i couldn't figure out why. basically, it looks like it would just collapse since it wouldn't actually distribute any weight (but actually create more stress) otoh, from the looks side, it's more visually interesting the original way. :) Start of a hi-res metal/concrete texture pack, no detail, just basic blocks at the moment. Missing a ton of stuff like panel variety, decals, sfx.
http://www.simonoc.com/images/design/maps_q3/indust1.jpg Yeah I like the dark coloured rocks, it makes the base stand out more imo, I think brown rocks wouldn't fit as well with the skybox either.
Valid points about the supports and walkway thickness however, I'll get on that :)
