I can't believe there are so many, so good maps in progress. Great work all around!

messing with sock's palace textures. kudos if you recognize the area. :P 

swanky dm4 right? 

What I thought?

The textures (palace set) that necros is using are not publicly available yet, I only sent them to a couple of people to experiment with. When someone finishes a map using them I will release the rest. 

Vis just crashed on this (I think) so it might not be "almost ready" as I'd hoped... thus a couple shots:

oh whoops, i thought they were the same ones, sorry. :S

When someone finishes a map using them I will release the rest.

Way to put on the pressure!!
(kidding ;) 

Yeah looks boring as hell :P 

does the map not work after the vis crash?
it's awesomeness demands to be released. :P 

Is that the tyrann inheritance? Looks fucking rad.
Skacky it looks great - nice and clean, with some nice vistas. gameplay seems pretty nice.. Might agree re gold key area. Cleaning up hell knights etc seemed kind of meh. Not sure I liked the organic tree... Final combat arena also seemed good but perhaps not spectacular. Sorry this is all super vague, Get negke and necros and others to play test and I imagine you will get lots of good criticism. Have to agree that a ng or something should be given earlier. 

I demand you fix that now and release it please. That first shot is awesome. 

though I guess it will be it'll be at least a couple weeks from now. 

Finally found some time to work on a map.
Please give it a try.

MechTech,

I tried your map. It's working well, except for the low gravity which is annoying, and the elevators which are randomly working. Personally, I'm not much in the Quake2 style stuff, but this is a great map anyway !

I had a HUGE surprise in the room with the spaceship pictures on the wall : I'm the author of that Discovery model (from Kubrick's 2001), as shown in Celestia !! This is great ! I've specifically made that model for Celestia some years ago, and NEVER though that I would see it in Quake1 one day ! LOL ! 

I finished my map. Here's the final release.

Oh Bessy ... how I love you so, your sharp blade has slain many a dirty stranger. Don't worry, I will clean that blood off you later ...

I love the trim and lighting contrast! 

is the white X a secret area? 

That image could use some better compression. Facebook did not even thumbnail it. I cannot see any difference (unless I manipulate further or zoom a lot) between the original or a 200 Kilobyte 80% JPEG.

Looks super sexy. I hope it is not too tight. 

ericw, thanks I am trying to make the lighting more dramatic as the default is no colour.

scampie, there are no secrets you can see in that screenshot. The X is a rune (particle) floating upwards from the book on the plinth. I have added a particle system to my MOD and various objects around the map emit particles based on player proximity. The books are used as a story system, like what you did with console screens in your map.

spirit, I did not do much compression on the image. This map is designed to feel tight and underground so when you get to the next maps which are wide open they feel more impressive. 

Sorry to be off-topic,

Sock, did you published the Quake3 maps (?) you made, named "The Florentine Library" and "The Bridge Crane" (well, I'm not even sure these are actually Q3 maps). They're looking f**g AWESOME.

I would love to visit them on my system.

Any chance I could get them ? 

Sorry, I don't plan to release those maps, they are purely just concept stuff with crazy FPS issues. I made them as an experiment and they really shine only in screenshot form. Also they are certainly Q3 maps running on the Q3 engine, no special mod or extra code, just lots of shaders and high resolution textures. :) 

O well, thanks anyway Sock.

Glad to see you're still on Quake1. I can't wait to play with your latest baby...
