Well

That engine and hud literally makes my eyes vomit actual bile over my monitor and keyboard.

Also just direct link the images rather than having to have two clicks to open each one.

Map looks like an okay start tho.

Welcome to Quake mapping.

I think you should be using a engine and textures which looks closer to how Quake is if you want to be sure the player is going to see and experience the same as you and issues do not arise. It also makes easier for us to tell you things as right now is hard to know. I am under the impression there is something wrong on the brushes on the upper part of the third screenshot but as i said before is hard to tell.

Made some changes to the DarkYoung,

Strange carrot afterall..,

Very Cool

but i think it would be better for the red parts on the outside of the mouth to be less red, or make a degradation. Looks a bit like painted.

Yes, they were a bit explit.
Made a new version that has a more savage look.

This one got entitled as "the buthole of shubnigar".

Beta Map - Zasiruth: Burial Ground Of The Honored

#16545 posted by RavenFW on 2021/03/05 23:28:58

Looks Good

#16546 posted by madfox on 2021/03/06 08:53:01

.., for a first map. Gives me a Daikanta feeling in some way. The shapes are well in dimensions and give a sense of exploring.

I like the way you make the rocky edges, but they'r often a victem of strange lightning. Sometimes they won't fit and can be hidden by a small rock on one of the gaps as in the third screeny, I think. Small texture error on the water ledge brush.

Quiet good for a first map!

Thanks

Hi, thanks for the feedback!

I'll see later if I can try and fix some of the "rock cracks", luckily those shots are from the air and not that obvious from the ground. :)

Which screenshot has the texture error on the water ledge?

32 Meg Screenshots

Thanks for letting me know, was wondering why the zip was so big.

Will remove them when I upload Rev C.

Rev C Out

#16552 posted by RavenFW on 2021/03/12 20:57:00

Made some changes and uploaded Rev C.

www.quaketastic.com/files/WIP_maps/Zasiruth/ravenzas1/zasiruth%20-%20RevC2.zip

Some new things:

- Added difficulty levels (Easy, Normal and Hard) with Normal being the default. See Readme file on how to set/change difficulty level as desired.

- Changed all windows to breakable.

- Changed some skins and lightning.

- Added a green key door as part of progression/flow.

Thanks to everyone for their inputs, however, I could not change all of the recommendations.

Cheers!

I tested your map (a mod, actually) on OSX Spike QuakeSpasm (QSS).

It works perfectly (as I could tell). I love the breakable (especially the windows). Great atmosphere and map style variations. I liked the default music for this map.

I only have two personal complains/critics :

1. For a single map, I would prefer a map that could be put in the ID1 folder or in a major mod (like copper or AD, for example).

2. I don't like the straight and squared corridors, with it's simple tiled texture. Feels retro there.

Thanks for the feedback!

Will try and avoid straight corridors with my next map.

The map you are referring to is based on progs_dump 2.0.0

The entire reason pd exists is to serve as a devkit for people who want to do stand alone releases similar to "Bastion of the Underworld" or "Altar of Storms."

When packaged correctly, the downloads are pretty small compared to other mods, especially AD. The only small request of that player is to run it as a mod.

Surely you understand how this works?

New Project &amp;amp;quot;Welcome To The Jungle&amp;amp;quot;

#16556 posted by GunSgtHighway on 2021/04/15 18:00:42

Hi!

Have started a new project in that I work with natural environment. It now includes assets of grass, trees, palms and bushes.
I'm working on waterfalls, typical jungel plants, rocks and destructible buildings. My goal is to create a minimission with a pile of assets for all to use.

First screenshots:

Interesting...

#16557 posted by metlslime on 2021/04/15 18:35:09

are the trees made of brushes or models?

Looks like you have a lot of pink edges visible. Makes me wonder if you have some pink in your textures that are not actually index 255.

Or, it could be that indexed transparency is not handled correctly in the mipmapping process. Which engine is it?

I also see weird white halos around some bushes. Can't really explain that, do you have external glowmaps for these textures?

@metlslime

#16558 posted by GunSgtHighway on 2021/04/15 20:12:24

The tree trunks are brushes.

Yes there are still some pink edges and halos that I have to repaint. The problem lies in importing pictures in wally when they get color reduced.

engine is quakespasm.

Cool, sounds like you have a plan to fix those things. I'm curious how it will look once you get those things fixed plus lighting.

Jungle Map - Testvideo

Heres a little test video of my jungle map, work in progress, with a destructable building.

Funny Jungle!

#16561 posted by Barnak on 2021/04/21 22:16:30

That map appears cool!

Just a critic: the natural textures are too "squared", not random enough, especially the grass patterns between trees. Is there a way to make them look less regular? Put some rocks here and there to hide some of the square patterns, or some dead trees...
