Func_Msgboard: Quake Upstart Mapping Project Released

Posted by HexenMapper on 2017/10/26 12:59:00

After our Beta phase and some tinkering, we are ready to release!

QUMP is a project aimed at getting new people to map for quake. Many of the mappers in this project had never made a quake map before, or had only made a couple. There are also some very early/old maps by more established mappers.

Get QUMP Here:

Thanks Tribal, I noticed you were recording qump lately, and thank you for playing ^^

What engine/settings do you use?

@newhouse

I use some custom models from Chillo's Model Pack v1.6 and some from Authentic Model Improvement Collection (links are in the video description ;)

About the engine, i use FTE 5121, with particle set classic, 3D and 2D filter modes set to nearest (for the pixelated look) and RT_shadows turned on in lighting and dynamic lighting modes (for real time light and shadows)

When i was playing Sunken Cathedral i noticed that RT_shadows was affecting my framerate, making the map really laggy, so i turned it off and started the map again =D

FTE is my favorite Q1 engine because it has that oldschool look (textures/skins/particles pixelated) combine with realtime light and shadows, which make the maps more gloomy and scary ;)

Interesting seeing the effect that RTL has on the maps, visually. Thanks for playing the pack! :D

Nice!

Looks great tribal, cheers for the videos

Thanks, guys =D

I've just uploaded Bloody Sun, from Danzadam and Newhouse:

And sorry if sometimes the video looks a little bit dark. When i'm watching the video in my PC, it looks brighter, but when i upload to youtube, it looks darker. So, i'm trying to solve this issue changing the gamma in OBS. I think the next video will be fine.

So... in that little map with the rune (qump_start)... i noticed that it has one enemy that i couldn't find... so i nocliped around the map and i found a soldier hiding in a box. Anyone knows why is he there? Is he supposed to teleport and attack the player? :/

The soldier is there as a precache model for the corpse in the map. If you don't have him there, quake will not have the right model precached in order to place the corpse. There's probably a better way to do this, but this was the only way I knew at the time. (and didn't involve fooling with QC)

Oh, thanks =D

Now I'm feeling pretty stupid for having wasted so much time pressing and shooting every brick of that map XD

#84 posted by HexenMapper on 2018/02/12 08:01:31

haha, I wouldn't worry too much - probably my fault for not working out how to hide the fact there is a monster on the map somewhere..

Finally, i've uploaded all playthroughs \o/

Nice work!

Qump 2

dumptrucks tutorial inspired me to maybe go map again. This could be the chance...?

I'm not currently looking at starting a QUMP2 project - I have a bunch of projects I need to finish first. You guys can put something together if you like - I don't have copyright on the QUMP franchise ;)
You should just map anyway Brassbite, eventually a QUMP2 will come around and then you'll have a map ready to go

Go map. You know you want to.

Don't Forget Mapjams And Retrojams

#90 posted by Danz on 2018/02/14 10:41:28

You could take a shot at some mapping when these jams get announced.

thanks for playing tribal

i'm not playing quake lately, but i saw the video.

i started a conversion to arcane dimension to practice and test things, i must say that it makes life easier.

i may publish it here later, maybe in march/april
