first he blows this elephant
then some elephant must map this

Are yah still mapping elephant? 

reminds me of that map from Deus Vult 2... Eagle's Nest, I think it's called?
That dude pulled that theme off perfectly. 

it would be cool if the spiked ball was spun on the vore's finger like a basketball 

juggling vormit

I reproduced the original poses of the vormit (as criple I am)
with three voreballs in it.
By adding the jugling frames it can be switched with the original one.
Only the qc must be attached for the new pose.

@enliten - I could do that if neg!ke doesn't kick me out of the retired team. 

The short answer is no.

The long answer is that I have a bunch of different box test maps with different themes and with each I ran into a bit of a creative cul-de-sac.

Plus I have a job now and I've not really assigned much free time for mapping. No doubt I will get the itch again. 

to get others inspirated! 

THANKS Madfox!!!

An open vote between four options:

A) Chaingunner (easy)
B) Cowardly bomb planter (hard)
C) Both (hard)
D) Neither, stop wasting time on features and go map 

A 

Vore Juggler 

You may possibly mean jungling Vormit?

Many nights I have spent on extrapolating
this devious contraption 

Is Quaketastic still working for uploading new files?

I really like the mines setting. Heretic 2 had a good Mines texture set that may be worth looking into. 

I want to see some Shambler juggling one or two ogre(zombie, or Vore) heads. Could be great ! 

I made an update to the link. Maybe I had to change to the models & request thread.

juglin vormit

I changed the shal_stand into the jugling one.
Other poses are also there so it fits easy in game.
Now he's jugling behind my death trap.
Are there any request a shallrath could use for extra pose?

@mechtech - I signed up to that link, but I can't view the jpg.

@barnak - Do you not understand this will collide to a great panic of bouncing boxes? 

depends what B is. A is probably a solid option. Or D. ;) 

A is one of Madfox creatures 'Mr Big' who I've begun to implement as a shambler class base enemy.

B I think would be cool. I was reading the 3d cafe bot tutorials and had an idea for an otherwise weaponless enemy that would try and get close to you to plant a bomb, then run away. Once the bomb exploded, if you were still alive, it'd return to plant another.

I wanted to use it when revisiting areas so that its bomb wouldn't depopulate new places. Could also be used in labyrinths designed especially for it.

So yeah, going with A for now. Big bullet sponge ogre hybrid with a chaingun.

I'm on holiday in a few days anyway, so it's just fun to make a simple enemy before I go. 

but also B, after reading this initial description. Sounds more unique, but more risky, and perhaps less Quakey?

So yeah, I think you should go with A based on what I've seen. Good luck on the pre-holiday push! 

See Willems thread. 

I've been a good boy and listened to your feedback. Here's a test shot. Colored lights in a Quake themed map, oh my.....

Colored lights can work well in Quake if they are very subtle. Check out sock's maps for examples. 

I did coloured lights in a bunch of maps - less is more :)

Although that does look rather fetch :D 

now it definitely looks more q1 :) 

that looks great! 

But I think that the yellow light up high is just a tad too yellow. The lower lights look good though. As mentioned earlier, less is more when it comes to colored lights in Quake. It's not a disco and it's not a shopping district so colors just look out of place if they're garish but if done right they can add to the look of a level.
