Posted by Lunaran on 2008/06/12 19:14:37

Quake - Stealth Quake 420
Level Design Endurance Competition
June till QExpo 2008

::...---===[({ ^ * * * ^ })]===---...::

You are the slipgate warrior. You've travelled for what seems like forever, in search of that one gate that will take you ... home. This time round, the trip seems to have dehydrated you excessively and you find yourself lost in the midst of a fever dream. Memories of lost friends and lovers, and pets, and nightmarish visions of horrible creatures all seem so true to life you cannot trust if you're really dreaming, and mostly they want to kill YOU!

::...---===[({ ^ * * * ^ })]===---...::

Inspired by:
- Quake (thanks id)
- Coagula (thanks ELEK)
- The Coagula mapping competition (that was probably also ELEK)
- StealthQuake (thanks Kell, necros, and Preach)
- The writings of Harriet Beecher Stowe (thanks ELEK)

Your Motivation:
- glory
- http://youtube.com/watch?v=yDwiQQXBBkI
- http://youtube.com/watch?v=LyEFCBqXTFU
- http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ad9Appw6afc
- because you'll be the only person to finish by the deadline

::...---===[({ ^ * * * ^ })]===---...::

The Limits:
- The exit must be hidden in a secret
- The map must incorporate at least three clever QC hacks from that one thread I can't find
- Must have no purely white lights
- The map must be built with exactly 420 brushes
- The map must use exactly 88 entities
- The map must crash all engines except TomazQuake
- Monsters are limited to spawns, rottweilers, Armagon turrets, and Armagon
- The level must have Easy, Medium, and Hard but not Nightmare difficulty implemented
- Map can only be textured with:
-- the ALICE.wad ( http://shub-hub.com/files/textures_wads/alice_tex.rar ) and,
-- the DOOM3.wad ( http://shub-hub.com/files/textures_wads/doom2.zip )
-- Map must use textures from both wads
- There must be at least 1024^3 volume of lava in the map
- Use a sky texture with the 15th (orange fullbright) row of the Quake palette
- The level must exit to 'czg07b' which must then be beatable with the weapons and ammo the player carries over
- Construction must take place in the dark, only after eating curry
- The map must be compiled with the original id tools and take longer to vis than it did to build

Obviously these all interrelate.

Submission:
- please send a .7zip containing:
-- a fastvised, questionably lit .bsp named 'stealthQuake508.bsp'
--- a matching .map for brush and entity number checking
---- a log of the final compile, run with -verbose

------ scanned images of all curry receipts
------- a matching .txt thanking those who helped you and explaining the inspiration of your fever dream

I ROFLed until I couldn't continue eating my dinner :D

I'm still ROFLing when I'm trying to type, damn you!!

Wish I could make this a perm thread....instead, I'll volunteer to be a judge (obviously testing all maps only in AGLQuake...).

You don't specify curry type, but I'm assuming that Jalfrezi is illegal.

What about Thai?

I Love Lun

albeit in a firm-handshaked, heterosexual, down-to-earth, "I'll get the next round", man's man sort of way.

...I just read the now outdated predecessor to this, the QExpo Space Hulk one, in detail (had only skimmed over before)...

I think this one is far better :S

Huh

#25 posted by ijed on 2008/06/13 14:06:50

Even though the outdated one means maps?
