So, I thought some background info about xrucifix/Two Guys Software would be interesting.

As you can see at their website, xruuuu were the ones who compiled and sold the Quake-derivate standalone game Eternal War: Shadows of Light.
http://xrucifix.com/modules.php?na...

Eternal War ripped a lot of stuff from our fellow Quake hobby-developers and even commercial games. Eternal War was sold (for money that is).

Just for your information.
Xruuuu = Xrucifix
forgot to fix that. oops.

The most profound letter in the alphabet that people tend to focus on and remember best is X.
RE: Uhm
The artwork, sounds, programming, etc. used in Eternal War: Shadows of Light were used with permission by authors before being placed in the game.
RE: RE: Uhm
Perhaps it was used with permission, but I know at least 1 person that didnt get credited nor paid for any of the work he did for Two Guys Software.
RE: RE: Uhm
If they didn't recieve any credit then they should contact me directly (mack@xrucifix.com) and I would be more than happy to work something out with them.
Hahahaha
Well that person is ME. And I have talked to you several times after this and I have yet to get at least SOME credit for all the work I did. And having my name in TINY TINY TINY letters in one of the 4-5(?) loading screens is not what I call proper credit.
RE: Hahahaha
We've already went through this several times as well. Your name is listed in the credits along with everyone elses all on the same page with the same font size and has the same exposure as everyone else. It's on page 3 of 3 in the demo and page 3 of 5 in the retail.

Hello,

I am currently looking for a team to work with on a particular game. This game is going to be a First Person Shooter but I still don't have the men to create it with. If you're interested or if you need more information about this particular game. Then please take a few minutes to E-mail me , or message me on my MSN. (chief654@hotmail.com)

I doubt you will get any interested people this way. Take a few minutes to tell people about your game if you want a team.
Tell Us About Your Game Here.
Do it or noone will join. Noone's going to be bothered to email you and ask a bunch of questions:

We want to know THE THEME, we want to know THE GAMEPLAY, and maybe most important of all, we want to know why this isn't just a quick idea you had one evening which you will get bored of one week down the line and never finish!

I see this thread really works fine, and everyone is in the perfect shape.

Now, closer to the matter. I (the company i work for - nivalonline.com) need an outsource level designer who will help me to create environments for our MMORPG.

Requirements:
Good Maya skills.
Portfolio that will impress me (i.e. there should be visually attractive and fun to play levels for any game you have made custom or professional content or nicely done models).
You must have enough free time to do the job.
Ability to quickly learn our wicked in-house editor (which is still being made).
Good interweb connection (a lot of data's going to be transferred to you).

What we offer:
Just some extra bucks (will discuss this later) and a lot of professional experience ;)

Wanting To Make A Quake 1 Mod, Need Mappers And Coders
Hello everyone,

I am wanting to create a new mod for Quake that is team based, each team has 3-4 "tickets" or areas within the map that they control, if 1 person from the opposing team stands within their enemies ticket area that area will slowly turn sides and be owned by the opposite team, depending on the amount of enemies standing in the ticket area depends on how fast it changes to their ticket. It also has to have custom classes besides the standard Quake guy equipped with shotgun, nailgun, lightning gun etc.. and have different attributes per class, scouts can jump higher, move faster better camoflauge, assault has more armor, heavier weapons but can jump as high or run as fast as a scout. I also want a stamina meter per class ala HalfLife's suit power level. I was wanting to use the "Navy mod" weapons which can be found on Quake Terminus.

The maps would need to be open and constructed not to create much of a bottle neck feel between main bases and ticket areas.

If you have any questions please email me at phenom@evilpsp.com or reply to the thread over at quakeone.com (http://www.quakeone.com/forums/sh...

Happy Fragging! :)

Anyone Notice

Question
What would it take to interest any of you fellows to work on maps for Prydon Gate? You ought to know what it is, squeal if not. It does have a mapping guide, a list of official quest maps (or atleast areas) to make, or one could just make inofficial quests as seen by the ELF team, even though it'd be neat if the main game had some progress, not just the (awesome) "fan stuff" :)
Urre:
Good question. Unfortunately, everyone has their own priorities when deciding what game/mod to map for, but it's generally hard to get people to map for games/mods that they don't actually play (or even know about.)

So maybe just promoting the mod would help, since there is fairly little communication or advertisement across the different quake communities. I'm sure many people here haven't heard of it. In fact, I didn't know it was still in development after I once played it 3-4 years ago.
A Little Link...
... would help !
Well...
"Being in development" is far from what I'd call it. It's been kept alive by various people occasionally jumping out and screaming "why are there no prydon maps" and/or some models/sounds being made at random intervals, mostly by Chillo. There's a thread on I3D where Chillo is posting shots of (tons) of new models he's made for it. Frik did a lot of behind the scenes work a year ago (ish, my conception of time is not the best), but none of that has really been "put to use", as there are no maps.

The ever so beautiful homepage for prydon can be found here: http://www.inside3d.com/prydongate...

and the aforementioned thread with shots of Chillos models is here: http://forums.inside3d.com/viewtop...

The mod has pretty much always had a fanbase of some sort, sadly however consisting mostly of people complaining about the lack of maps, but never doing anything about it. If you manage to track down Frik on your irc channel of choice, or I3D pm, I'm sure you can also get access to the dev wiki, mapping guide and the greatly enhanced unreleased beta version (1.5 I think was the version). Happy breathin'!
Prydon Gate
I tried it years ago and didn't like it. Now I thought it became better, tried again and didn't like it either. The controls are just too stupid, the mouse feels like I have to move it through mud (and does not listen to "sensitivity"). The inventory and other menu stuff, well, a mouse driven thing would be much much nicer (even if it used the same menu).
I hope 1.5 is much better. :>
Mouse Sensitivity...
...is controlled by some other cvar, not sensitivity, and unfortunately I don't remember what that might be.
My Cursor Moves Slow

If you're playing SP or you are the server in a multiplayer game, type "sv_maxspeed *" where * is a number higher than 320. The default is 320. If your mouse moves to fast, type a lower number.

Hexen II Maps, Money
Is there any chance of getting some Hexen II maps created. It's a great game - though it does have some wandering puzzles - and there's been a big effort at http://uhexen2.sf.net (mostly Linux but also Win32) recently to kill the final bugs.

Though i know it's tacky - would a $$ prize/competition make any waves.

I love this game.
Well
I personally MIGHT give it a shot IF all the nasty bugs were rooted out AND there was an upgraded engine that I could run it on - for example like FitzQuake. However, I personally think the game was a huge disappointment, and quit playing before I finished it, and so I'm not completely interested in mapping for Hexen 2.

Also, don't offer a Hexen 2 mapping competition (especially for $$), I don't think anyone would join it since there's close to 0% interest in Hexen 2 specifically.
Hexen II Maps
In H.o.T. the bugs are all gone. The main Dev has gone to riduculous lengths to kill anything that moved. including the little gamecode hiccups that occasionally pop up.

As far as upgraded engine goes - for large maps etc, I dunno about this one.

Main features are:
GL anti-aliasing, multi-textures, gl_constretch and glows, Fullscreen intermission/help-menus, vid mode switching and native AMD64 support (not trivial).

Mouse wheels are now supported (and weapon switching is nicely handled - before the stupid thing would switch to weapons with zero manna) which makes the challenging AI's more beatable.
Hexenworld
Oh yeah, we also have a nice 1st person camera... and Hexenworld isn't broken anymore. One of my few coding contributions was finding a illegal
nested C loop in the HW code which caused the game to segfault regularly with lightning weapons.

Looking For Mappers
Hello there.

Just thought I might post about a new custom map duel tournament that is entering the second season in 1-2 weeks, and if you're interested in having _your_ map played there, newly created or not, go to #kenya on Quakenet and say hello + URL to the map. The tournament will play out 10 maps during a 10 week time, one map every week, so you'll get your map played out by 10-20 players (usual signup rate) VS each other which makes for alot of matches. They will comment the map afterwards on our site: http://www.firstinsys.se/swing/ken...

I'm also looking for 2on2-maps and trying to find ProdigyXL for some fixups with genocide.bsp (which could work for 2on2): The jumppads needs less messyness (look at q3dm6qw for perfect jumppads) and there needs to be a teleporter or some other way up to quad.

MVDSV?
Hey guys... I'm in need of a starting map for MVDSV qw server but I don't have any idea. I think it should be small and not really playable but beautiful and maybe give access via teleport to single or multiplayer maps for example but maybe you have ideas?

Oh, I'll have a definitive logo soon to be incorporated in that too :D

How Verbose Of You
For those who aren't familiar with it, we are being exploited for our mapping enthusiasm!

http://www.quakeworld.nu/forum/vie...
Heh
I love being exploited! Use me!

Well, I am working on some small floating egyptian (sock, as usual) castle thingies with lots of tricks and stuff. They float inside some canyon I grabbed from czg's snatch... errrr, snatched from czg's scraps. I'll release a build for suggestions somewhen soon.
MVDSV (more Info)
The more I think about it, the more I'd like the map to be kinda small, really good looking and full of tricks possibilities.

Plan would be to have a contest on it as soon as it is official to be able to get Pez do a MVDSV promotion movie on that map/tricks.
I have a mod in the works for Quake 1 that, for now, I am calling Project Guilt Trip. As the title of this thread would suggest, it is a mod that is going to be a crossing between revolutionary First Person Shooter gameplay, and Fighting-game gameplay (in the spirit of Super Smash Brothers and Soul Calibur), while maintaining high-fantasy elements (quasi-mideval style classes) and strong action emphasis.

I've got a big plan for all of this, and I've actually got it in the works (programming wise), and its all going to be unique stuff. Truth is... I'm looking for help. I think I can handle a lot of the programming of it, but a second (and third if I can get it) pair of eyes looking the code over and extra pairs of hands putting code and ideas into action would be vastly appreciated.

Also, I could use some help with mapping, server streamlining, and game balance from experienced players willing to try something damn new and be a part of something that will, without a doubt in my mind, grow into a massive undertaking.

I won't go into very specific details here on this thread, but please, express your interest here so we can get in touch ^^

Thanks!

p.s. Oh, and by the way, this is all totally feasible stuff for the quake engine... in fact, its all not going to be that difficult to pull off! I've done a little research and practice with the engine... and it could work. I just need time, and some good, honest-to-god loving devotion and this will rock your socks off.

I've heard that one before ;)

You really need to show that you have the ability to see the project through. In fact, sharing "specific details" is exactly what you need to do to get people interested and excited about working on the project. For example, what makes your FPS gameplay so "revolutionary"?
Spectrum Vixen...
...you might want to check out this:
http://qexpo2005.quakedev.com/boot...
It has some of the elements you are looking to develop. Maybe contact Ren and see if he wants in or has some advice at least.
Heh...
First off.

Inertia: I'll bet you HAVE heard that before. I agree though, perhaps I should say something a leeetle more specific.

What makes this mod revolutionary... hmm, well imagine this: You just pop into the game on DM, and get raped in 3 seconds because everyone has a rocket launcher. "ookay..." you say, and respawn. Bam, you're blown to hell again. And again? Finally, you pick up a nailgun, but the nailgun sucks, so you get another rocket for christmas.

No. Thats not how this mod will work. Thats lame, and has always been lame. Now check this out: You spawn, and right off the bat, you're confronted with another newly spawned player. Grinning, you select your Explosives combat style, and whip out your grenade launcher. Your foe, however, decides that he wants to fill you full of holes, so he switches to Rapid Fire combat style, and takes out a nailgun. Deciding to take it easy for the first round, see what he can do, you bounce a grenade off the wall behind him, and send him flying across the room with a smug grin. As he soars, though, and as you do this, he's laying into you with his nailgun. Watching his arc and dodging his nails as best you can, you grit your teeth and press the SMASH button, your grenade launcher going into overdrive to pound a rocket from its barrel with a deranged THUNK, nailing him in the stomache. The rocket blast craters him into the ground with the force of its explosion, stunning him briefly to give you just the break from nail-dodging you need, and in you go, switching to Shotgun combat style. The half-second stun was all you needed: running in, you decide to just finish him, and tap that SMASH button again, smacking him with the super-doublebarrel shotgun, making him turn to chunky kibble, hatred painted on his face for you as his head flies off his shoulders.

Grinning, you glance down to your Combat guages, and see the Shotgun Combat guage at about 80%, and the Explosives combat guage at a firm 50%, both slowly returning to you at a rate of about 1 per half-second, and your health at about 30 or so. No sooner do you do so, than a demon bursts through the only exit of the room, bloodlust painted on his hellish visage, wings tucked tight around his hunched back.
"Shit! Shitshitshit..." and you switch to Slipgate (thank god you picked the Slipgate Warrior for your class!) and your Portal gun appears. The Demon, with his Scent ability, knew you and this other marine were duking it out not a moment ago, knows where to find you, and is probably at full-stamina, ready to rip you apart if you sit still to let him.

You aim at the wall at the opposite end of the room and squeeze your trigger, watching the fire-up sequence as you run like hell across the room. You hear the distinctive sound of the Demon's leap, and the flap of wings, and you know this is going to be close.

"Come on, come on you piece of shit!" you plead with the Portalgun as you're not ten feet from that wall and a dead end... heh, so to speak. Finally, it fires its telltale blue beam into the bricks, and as you finally reach the barrier, it opens the portal, and you leap through, just as the Demon hits the ground behind you, sending you flying out the other side of the gate into the room behind the wall, which was mostly quiet for the moment. Sitting, and breathing hard, you start picking nails out of your armor and watch your health bar steadily increase as you recover slowly. You'd get that hell-spawned bastard in a moment, once you picked that other marine's boot out of your ass. No such luck... he's respawned, and is looking mighty pissed-off at you. Selecting the Shotgun weapon set, you press your back to the wall, and wait for him to charge into the room, grinning like the devil, your finger on the smash key.

------------------->
For More Specificness...
The mod will have a class system in which each class is DRASTICALLY different in gameplay style, and a balanced, non-linear combat system based on skill trees, different for each class. Each skill tree has different uses, and no weapons or attacks are redundant within it.

The basics:
Tree 1\
Tree 2 - The skills, weapons, and abilities
Tree 3/
Special: The attacks and abilities that are the class's special features, such as the fiend's Scent ability or the Slipgate Warrior's Portal ability. Each has at least two abilities that fall into this category; a normal one, and a "smash" one.

There are two triggers for each skill tree: Normal, and SMASH, with normal being less strenuous and often faster, and SMASH being more powerful and higher-costing, sometimes with special effects attatched.

No class needs to pick up weapons or ammo (though ammo in percent can be found, it normally regenerates normally, given time.) Each class has different uses of these bars, and some don't use the bar guages at all (for example, the Fiend's is stamina based, not bound to a percentile guage or a particular skill set, just one pool for it all).

And most of all, this is no side-scroller fighting game... this will be fully multiplayer friendly, with several game types integrated that enhance the high-fantasy theme of the mod (such as War and Siege, in which the players form two teams to take over the outposts of Quake; the levels you play in single player, in strategic realtime), all while remaining in the high-action gameplay of Quake 1.

There is gonna be two races (Humanity and Monsters) with Seven classes each, each and every class absolutely unique in gameplay style and controll settings.
Tl;dr
I never grin :(

I need another mapper, Spirit is tired :D

I am planning on adding a new mode to KTX, race mode, which will probably be extended to olympics mode, a sort of olympics games for the qw engine. It will feature height jump, distance jump, speed race and other things.

I'd like an epic map to be created for that.
Got some ideas, but need someone to turn them into something playable :D

That Awesome Quake3 Celshading Monkey Mod
is going standalone and wants your great (old) map(s).

http://www.monkeysofdoom.org

The best Quake3 indie-maps of all time wanted!

As you may have read from the title, it's unfortunately only "Wilko's MONKEYS of DOOM", not "Wilko and his big, highskilled, unbelievably talented and ultra-productive crew of fantastic mappers' MONKEYS of DOOM". So, what the project is suffering from is an unpleasant lack of maps!

That's especially bad as I plan to release MONKEYS of DOOM as a standalone game in the not-so-far future. - And here YOU come into play: You built some great Q3-maps in your youth? The community played them, loved them... and meanwhile forgot them?

Bring them back to life! Send them in until November 30th 2007, and the best maps will be cartoonized and part of MONKEYS of DOOM! Even better: The chosen ones will gain 150$ for each of those maps I use for MONKEYS of DOOM! That's money for work already done!

So, don't hesitate: Dive down into depths of your harddrive and bring up the old treasures! - Then send them to >maps@_nospamhere_monkeysofdoom... and - with a little luck - you earn the money and read your name in the credits and the loading-screen!

Let's hear from you, I know you are somewhere out there!

Wilko
PS: If you are not a mapper by yourself but know a map that shouldn't miss in MONKEYS of DOOM, please let me know! Maybe I can get in contact with it's creator and convince him or her to contribute it.

Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!
That's the funniest thing I've ever seen!!
Monkeys Of Doom
How does that work within the Q3 GPL--basically paying/earning money for Q3 maps?

I might even be interested--this looks like a fun mod/game, but I'd have to be convinced that this isn't legally ill-considered and right now it seems pretty shaky.
As far as I know, the GPL covers commercial use. We had that discussion on Doom3World some time ago: http://www.doom3world.org/phpbb2/v...
But I'm gonna try to make that definite as quick as possible.
Herr W
Are there any particular criteria for the maps? Do they have to have had a certain number of downloads from ..::LvL to count as 'popular'?
Gametype - FFA, Tourney, CTF?
Won't some styles, e.g. idgothic arch fests, convert badly to your cartoon style?
What about jump pads?
Any preferences?

I have some Q3A maps, including a few fullbright-but-playable layouts that are unlikely to ever see the light of day. They might help your game. I just find it hard to imagine gothic CTF being monkey-friendly :P
Also
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/s...
"Monkeys Attack Delhi Politician"
"... One approach has been to train bands of larger, more ferocious langur monkeys to go after the smaller groups of Rhesus macaques." - That's what I call a clever idea!

>Criterias for the maps: They don't need to have a certain number of downloads or anything like that. "Best maps of all time" has an imaginary ;-) behind.

They just have to be good and make fun to play. But I agree with you: Some styles are harder to convert into a cartoon than others. But I wouldn't exclude anything at this point. If the map is good, there will be a way to "cartoonize" it!
You Get A Banana

Not Really That Hard

I Know But Im Allergic To Programming

See...
the clever thing about quake monsters is that all of the monsters are sort of blood-spattered to begin with, so it's not a problem that they don't show additional damage as you injure them.
Also...
not quite the right thread for this conversation.

Blitz

Yeah
Also too bad you need *ACTUAL* experience :-(
Hey RickyT23, I think your talent shown in thehand is worth much much more than any dubious ACTUAL experience.
Thanks Dude !!!
That really nice of you to say...
...you're not offering me a job though are you?!?!

Oh well... ;-P
Unfinished Fourth Player Class For Hacked Hexen
Dan never finished his new player class for his hacked hexen. It's the assassin, and he's done a really nice crossbow, but the fourth weapon doesn't work.

To test out the new class, you'll have to compile from source. (See the README). Oz and i are fixing up the engine code.

Looking For Quake 1 Mappers For Windows Mobile / PC Game
Hi there, I'm hoping to find some mappers interested in working on a survivial horror game for windows moble using quake 1. http://www.darksummer.com is our web site.

also if you want to learn more check out my other forum post at inside3d http://forums.inside3d.com/viewtop...

i'm using Worldcraft 1.6 to make these maps, however some of our more experienced mappers have been using Qradiant as well. here is a quick desktop shot http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?...

most of the game code is done and we've got about 1/3 of the maps done already. very low detail maps needed which also ='s quicker map development times. Most of the maps i've done were done in two hours or less.. having a windows mobile pda/phone is not nessisary. we have a pc client that emulates the interface.

looking for people with at least 1-2 hours available for mapping a week. not a high preasure project. :)

Thanks!

Via Math We Don't Understand Yet
everyone who will ever read this will be paid below all averages listed.

this is akin to the kind of math that causes a table full of patrons who all pay for their food plus two dollars to wind up with a total that's less than what's listed on the check by like $20.
"everyone who will ever read this will be paid below all averages listed. "

Well, actually...
Willem
not trying to start shit but how many posts do you make where you don't somehow mention your job, or epic, or the game you're working on?

Just wondered what your company policy is, regarding what their employees are allowed to post about them on an internet messageboard.
Fuck this shit. Bye!
LOL

Willem Is Trinca!

Hello,
I'm Robert and I'm co-developing new quake1 project - portal gun mod (see wiki record: Portal_(video_game))
We already have portal gun and models of portal gates, but the main thing is still open: levels.
Could anybody who likes idea of portal gun AND making levels, help us? Just please send me mail on
boby_my[strange_a]mail.com
The project is OpenSource.
Er....
I swear I'm interested!

Im sorry but I can't figure out what the hell kind of email address that is?

Help?

Portal Gun Mod V2.0 Released
Version 2.0 of Portal Gun mod released.

We still search level makers. Join the project.

http://int21h.ic.cz/users/BOby/por...
Great Mod!
Crashes sdl-fitzquake for me though and some other engine too. Tyrquake and dp work fine. Any idea? :(
Really?
Well, I tested it on original quake source (quake,sdlquake,winquake). Any other engines are non-standard, so not garranted. I really can't make it work for every engine ever made.
>Great Mod!
Thank you. Really.
Portal Gun Mod
This has got to be the coolest thing in Quake I have seen in a while. I played Portal and I really liked it, but I never thought I would see something like it in Quake.

Even though its still a work in progress, it seems pretty stable to me. Never got stuck in a wall once, sometimes getting stuck in two portals though.

But this is still an awesome piece of work. I know I'm gonna have some real fun with this :)
... This Is Cool
In darkplaces, there's a nice glow in the center of the portals, but in tyr-quake they look a bit plain... that teleport texture is a little overused. Love the weapon model.
Mapper / Texture Artist Wanted For $$$

Human Head Looking
Human Head (the company I work for) is looking for an experienced Level Designer and Technical Level Designer (scripter) if anyone is interested in a job and wants to work with me and FrikaC and basically just a cool company.

Just a "heads" (HAHA!) up for anyone in the hunt. I also promise not to make any bad puns if you get the job.
In that same vein, and I can't believe I've never done this, but Epic is always looking for people. We can't hire fast enough! If you've considered applying here but thought we didn't have openings, you're wrong! :) We need (talented) people, apply!
Willem
Stop stealing my thunder. R4wr.
Human Head needs you first, then Epic!

(better?)

Do You Need Me?
I would probably rather make levels for cool computergames than do admin and web-design
(what a thread-killer that turned out to be :S
Willem
You got mail
Oh hey Blitz I saw that Monolith laid off some people - you weren't one of them were you?
Uh Oh...

What Would It Take ...
to give liquids an angle, a travel direction, like you can do in Quake 2 ?
It would be great to see water coming down or lava floating from one point to another.
Would it be possible to "steal" the code that makes it possible in Quake 2 and put it in a mod for quake 1, or would it involve changing the Quake engine itself ?
Fuck ...
I'm in the wrong forum ...
Sorry about that.
Extras Code Has Watertrains
And func_water that does that - you can make it flow, have drag and so on.

I've yet to make quicksand, but it's only a matter of time.
