Func_Msgboard: Map Jam 7

Posted by ionous on 2016/07/22 09:36:32

The time has come once again.
The time to go forth and map, IDbase style. More specifically, Than�s APSP2, a loving ode to water, pipes and plumbers. Map Jamming is about creating maps of any size or detail level over several weeks, using a certain theme and/or texture set.

For this seventh of maps jams, the Quoth mod with be employed. Grab it here:

Any questions or comments, please post to this thread only.

Texture Wad - There are texture wads for this jam that include many theme related textures. It is not required to use these textures in your level, they are provided for inspiration and convenience only! Check this texture repository for more wads : https://www.quaddicted.com/files/wads/

Now I want to make something for this!

#7 posted by Zwiffle on 2016/07/22 19:31:46

Is there a def or ent anywhere?

Glad To See People Interested

Zwiffle: I talked to Preach about it, and it seems there is not. There might exist one for older versions. I'll see if I can dig it up later tonight.

Base Style ?!

..ugh It's the theme I like less :(

#10 posted by Zwiffle on 2016/07/23 01:02:07

Challenge yourself!

#11 posted by Izhido on 2016/07/23 02:26:17

Is it just me or "ugh" and "like less" do not belong in the same sentence?

One Of My Favourite Styles

to play in.
One of my least favourite to map with.
Looking forward to watching this progress, good luck to all.

Sounds Fun!

I started working on a map for this today. No idea if it's going to turn out any good or not though.

Great to see, Pritchard. A nice start; I'm interested to see where you go from here.

Oh, and I'm going to start streaming in about 90 minutes or so.

I can't wait to see what you guys come up with! Really looking forward to playing a bunch of new maps!

I'd join in but I'm kind of worn out ATM. Hey maybe if there's DLC in a few weeks I might participate.

Hmm

#18 posted by Qmaster on 2016/07/23 14:14:27

Is it cheating if I take an old unfinished map and complete it?

Yes And No

#19 posted by khreathor on 2016/07/23 16:02:09

yes - because it's cheating
no - because we want as many maps as community can produce

#20 posted by adib on 2016/07/23 16:24:50

I don't think it's cheating.

I Was Joking

#21 posted by khreathor on 2016/07/23 17:22:57

Do it man!

#22 posted by Rick on 2016/07/23 18:34:53

Go ahead and use the old map. I wouldn't hesitate a second to dredge up an old map for use as a starting point.

Unfortunately I can't seem to generate any enthusiasm for making an idbase style map and apparently Quoth is not easy to map for with Netradiant.

It's Cheating

#23 posted by oh, that person on 2016/07/23 19:00:47

But nobody said cheating is not allowed.

#24 posted by Kinn on 2016/07/23 19:07:58

apparently Quoth is not easy to map for with Netradiant

What the bottom-badgering barnacles has the editor got to do with the ease of mapping for a particular quake mod?

.def File

#25 posted by Preach on 2016/07/23 20:06:12

What's the best .def file for Quake to build upon?
