The fiend is holding one ogre on its shoulders, whilst another ogre balances on top of that. They stayed like that until I killed the fiend. Nice little pack. Here is how I would rank them (no surprises):
1. Lurker 2. Trinca 3. Spirit 4. Rudl Comments: Lurker's was well crafted despite some seriously steep hills in the beginning. The knight statues toward the end were entertaining enough but the overall build quality and gameplay put this one to the top. Great job! Trinca's was Trinca's ;-) I fully expected to be circle-strafing hoard after hoard of bad guys, and was not disappointed. His build quality just gets better and better! Spirit's was nice although I thought some of the architecture looked out of place -- including the shameless self-promotion ;-) The healing thingy was cool, though. I loved the sound effect it made! Rudl's textures were tough to look at sometimes and the drole after drole gameplay in the beginning was a little tough. I nicer transition to the base portion would have been nice. Keep it up! A round of beers for you all!!! So which textures really did not match:
was it: the red ceiling and red windows? Was the base part textured Ok? I have to ask that, because I'm working on a map with a similar base theme. http://trinca.planetaclix.pt/joequake005.jpg
rotate brushe! http://trinca.planetaclix.pt/joequake006.jpg not alight http://trinca.planetaclix.pt/joequake007.jpg http://trinca.planetaclix.pt/joequake010.jpg dont fit at all http://trinca.planetaclix.pt/joequake008.jpg final room more details! http://trinca.planetaclix.pt/joequake009.jpg door on wall? next time put grid two and put both inside wall this way dont show up out! for your second map is very good ;) keep on it! P.S--> dont see my first and second map please :p I agree about all points, but I'm not shure about joequake007 and 010
007 you mean that the computer thing in the middle in geral or the texture, the crosshair is pointing at, that has been cutted strangely. 010 Is it the computer in general or the missaligned computer texture I'm more asking for mistakes in the Themes like: "The red ceiling doesn't match to the floor" or "The ogro walls don't match to the ik_base lights" Thanks: To see my mistakes is very important, otherwise I would not get better ;) I couldn't see anything wrong - the medieval / base jump was unusual but mapping would have no fun if new ideas couldn't be done.
Although I reckon it would have made more sense to have the Drole tower after the base section, not before. The only thing about the theme that threw me (as Trinca points out) is bright textures next to dark ones. It doesn't mean you have to change which textures you're using, but if you've got a bright texture (red window) next to a dark one (ogromet wall) then put a few low intensity point lights there so that it looks like the bright window is bleeding into the scene, and not just a texture on a brush. Other than those texture niggles (misalignments in pics 7 + 10) there was nothing wrong themetically with the map - nice and grim ;) Trinca ftw, solid chunky feeling, nice tables etc but the gameplay was too predictable (although fun.) When I reached the end I thought "uh-oh, I know what's coming now." I'd have preferred a Gug or something. I liked the switches in the ceiling thing, although it was a bit predictable.
The others were too weird for my taste, but apart from that Lurker's void section was nice. A bit buggy though. who experienced a crash (I assume QC abort to console) in 768_spirit, what engine and progs were you using? Is it reproducable and if so, what are the steps?
The only problem I've seen in the pack was in 768_lurker when the statues got killed, which is an old progs error and doesn't seem to cause any side-effects. you went back and replayed these too, huh? :)
lurker's was great. in most games the designer stand-in is an ally of your character's guiding you over a radio, but in Quake, it's a fucking evil deity centerprinting that it will kill you if you displease it :) "Try jumping" written in front of every deathpit.
"illusionary wall ahead therefore Try attacking" to try people into shooting walls that aren't secrets. "Hurrah for Crate!" and "Praise the Crate!!" near all the crates you place in the map. Hey, if I put together a little start map for these four, would it be ok to add this to the map packs section for Quoth? I know trinca and spirit have posted on func_ in the recent past - are rudl and lurker out there as well?
ofc...
I started tinkering with a 768 map today. I think it will be quite nice. :) Here's a screenshot of the map
