Just to be clear: I love those textures.
good luck with the maps. I've been looking forward to all of them - every once in a while I'll go back to your page and look at the WIP shots, and get all bonery.
So yeah. super excited.

Oh - is Satan's Caramel Surprise still a possibility? 

You mean this ancient page? http://www.quaddicted.com/webarchive/than.quaddicted.com/index.html

I've actually got a real urge to map a lot lately, so I went back through those maps and took a look to see if they are worth finishing.
*APSP3 has a lot of flaws, but I really want to finish and release it, so I will at some point this year (hopefully in the next couple of months).
*DM1RMX is simple, but I want to make a full dm->sp episode eventually, so it's worth finishing.
*APSP4 (Satan's Caramel Surprise) is probably only about 1/6th done, but it has some interesting ideas, so I want to see if I can finish it. I suspect it's been done by someone else (Negke?) by now, but the gimmick is that you get route and weapon choices and can take entire areas in reverse depending on your choice of weapon. The spawning is supposed to be adjusted based on your choice. Could be a fun map to make.

Whether I'll get around to doing the other DM conversions or not, I don't know, but I hope so, because making them is a lot of fun. I also wanted to do a Rubicon 2 map (I LOVE BASE!). I wish I had infinite time.

Hope you are still mapping! Will we ever see a full map from you? 

Wow, Than you have a webpage! Must bookmark that, hopefully you will update it at some point. With your citadel thing, try deleting all the rocks and adding a white/create sky texture and fog. It might be a cool direction to try. 

I remember that...
APSP3 - Bound by Oath (Quake SP)
Those 2 screenshots look stunning, please try to finish that map. 

Wish that RTCW map was for singleplayer. :( 

If there's a Qexpo this year it's gonna be a corker. :O 

that website.

and no.
not ever.


I'm super excited about the idea of APSP4. Not only because of the gameplay idea, but because I don't think I've ever played a metal themed map by you, and I'm sure you'd handle the style interestingly.
Anyways, whatever you do - looking forward to it.

taking a little break from my q1sp to make a q3 20 brush map. this is day1. unlit. 4 patches, 5 brushes at the moment. 

the space invaders are jumppads

and animate 

how did you make the earth?

Already making a new Q1SP? yay! 

It's a curve cylinder with the verts pulled into a sphere. Then I cloned the sphere and enlarged it *1.05, since I don't care if it's on the grid, and put a cloud shader on it. 

The pipe tut was a good easter egg, scamp.

The making of the pipe wasn't that bad, untill I started texturing, and as all sides had two texture counters I'm seeing metal4 for ever.

I lost my patience in texturing them as Quark has such a bad ass 3D viewer.
I succeeded to make the pipe as small as possible without sliding.
Well almost as the inner space is 64 units. 

You should try this:

1/ select a face of the pipe
2/ tag this face
3/ select an adjacent face to the tagged one
4/ apply around pillar feature

Then you'll get perfectly aligned textures around the pipes, and even in between pipes junctions if you repeat the the procedure.
I made some experiments some time ago on pipe texturing, and it gave interesting results

Experiment ! 

madfox the problem isn't on quark

sorry

I saw lots of maps made in quark and they look just fine with all textures alight

try to make your work perfect from start to end, don't try to fix then all at the end... this is to much painfull for you and anyone that work this way. 

You rock, please keep trying to finish stuff, I and plenty of others will definitely enjoy anything you make :)

Madfox, looks promising, I like the mad pipework, please fix the textures and get the map done :) 

 

 

@JPL - I made the pipe with GtkRadiant and the texture was straight aligned, but when I imported into Quark I had to make the parts of the bending line with each side apart.
And as the sides are not trunked (\_/ in stead of \/) I got mixed up with double texture.
Is your advice for Quark or Radiant?

@drWho - right, I never had problems with quark, only when I have to texture and the texeditor as wel as the 3D screen get meshed out white with every movement.

@shambler - thanks for your support. 

Just chiming in to say that calling Anon!Trinca "drWho" gives me some hilarious mental images. 

That saves me a bag of green unions I was stuck on the last days!

It was for quArK obviously, but it looks you understood it at the end ;)

Looks like a caveman searching for zombies.
Pics are a little dark to see, but then again, quake is dark.

I always turn up the contrast and brightness for showing screenshots. It can ruin the impression but also better to have a better view.

Almost part of the vertical map.
