Great job man realy love the map ;)and made some waypoints for it!
take it from here! http://trinca.no.sapo.pt/temp/qwprogs265.rar alcyone and other 264 maps supported. and the map qc http://trinca.no.sapo.pt/ways/map_alcyone.qc keep good work gibbie ;) Really excellent looking little map; possibly the best looking idbase level i've seen. Brushwork is fantastic and the level of detail isn't too high, it's just right, keeping r_speeds down and not distracting the player from the layout. Everything seems to be angled this way or that, but in a really clean way, nice and curvy like vondur's mum.
The lighting as nitin mentioned, is excellent, maintaining interest while staying modestly low contrast in most of the accessible areas. I'm not much of a DM player so i can't really offer any insight on the layout, but from just running about it, it seems tight and well-interconnected. Hylke! omhigosh where have you been! I love you! Let's elope and get married to Von!
P.S. the map is cool, too! great map there, on bot aesthetics and gameplay. It absolutely rocks. No nitpicks and no complains here, just a big beer for you!
Looks nice, but I'm afraid to play it... barely enough room for one person to navigate it! very tight :o
last night, 2 rounds with Bl1tz and my first impressions are ITS FUN, very fast paced, lots of opportunity to backtrack and catch the other player off guard. A few minor annoyances , which may just be my personal taste are the func_illusion door frames and stair ramps. I understand this if for smooth gameplay purposes but there are some of the same door bits that ARENT illusionary (the larger window type ones) but it would of been perhaps better to make them all the same for the sake of continuity. These wont annoy me so much of course once i've played the map more and learn to expect them and where I can and cannot shoot.
and i know the floor angles are aweseome, but wouldnt it of been perhaps easier and nicer finished effect to make the angled floor patters as a texture? Just my 2c. oh yeah and I died last night :( mind if I beg you to sprawl the map out a bit and turn it into a single player map. Please? Please? Please?
As Scamphoe said this map is teh tiny! Looks good and will surely be interesting to play, I'll report back after a duel or 2 on this one.
Thanks for the new map gibbius :D Glad you all like it and thanks for the feedback! :) /me si happey
Pope: I had to keep the number of func_illusionaries to a minimum cause i had quite a lot already and if i added more they would sometimes dissapear (kinda like greyflash but for funcs). You're right tho, they should've been func'd for the sake of continuity but it wasn't possible unfortunately :( Also, about making the angled floor patterns as texture for everywhere, this would result in huge textures and the quality would suffer. I did however make an angled floor texture (which I used for expample at the top floor near lg and at the bottom floor in the main room). Headthump: I'm not much of a single player fan, sorry :/ It's also too small scale wise I think. Mr Frib: Yay@! screenies look fantastic!
It's a pity that I don't have quake installed on the PC that I post from. It will be the first map in my download list when I come back home. I gave it a go in DMSP2 and it's cramped nature shows very much there.
And if you aren't going to make a single player map out of it release the obviously it would be called Alcytwo.
Nice architecture, nice texturing, nice blood traces addition, cool lightning effects, and very interesting architecture and design... Really a nice DM map..
... loved everything except the floor (rotation of that texture seems non-sensical). I can imagine some brutal 1v1 matches on this thing, hence the splattered blood from previous matches. Nice work!
