Kind of a Negke vibe. 

yay socks back and has been mapping all this time!

never been a fan of floaty space maps, but it looks sweet. fog is very atmospheric. 

has the most notes of any map I have posted on my quakeguy blog and I only posted it a couple hours ago (35 notes so far)

Stop being the better negke! 

Stop being the less productive sock! 

Stop being a mean Scampie ! 

Sock: the shot is awesome ;) 

Nice pic Sock, look fantastic 

Also Lunaran, what ever happened to the grimy medieval map you posted shots of years ago?

it turned into five of them, with new monsters. dear god somebody help me 

that's the problem I find, it's more fun to build stuff and then expand it than it is to finish it

still I'm definitely looking forward to it 

 

is what i am doing
like this:
no clue, but theres rivets yeah!!

jfrust42 is the answer, like 42 is the answer, like you know the numbers..

and after all we�re only ordinary men... 

anbd the the texture is jf2rust42..
cheers.. 

Amen 

I can see the similarities to Lower Forecourt but the inspiration of this map is from playing MFX's latest map Klein's Bottle. I really liked the abstract architecture and bright floating void feeling. I have never been a fan of black void maps, it just seems a waste of a good skybox opportunity to me.

Didn�t Sock say he was retiring from Quake maps?
Technically I said I will not be doing anymore vanilla Quake maps. I am still working on my ITS mod (very slowly) and I have always wanted to play with a tech themed AI set which Quoth is a good fit for.

that's the problem I find, it's more fun to build stuff
This is exactly where this map came from, a desire to play with abstract architectural shapes surrounded by a cool skybox. The map is technically broken because it lacks any kind of portal/vis data and will only run on a good pc. It seems there are still people running Quake on old pc hardware and this map will be a slide show for them. It might be better to leave this as a screenshot rather than any serious release. 

Especially those 60+ likes I got on tumblr when I posted the image ;)

Wait... posting on func_msgboard is the secret Captcha for activating an inside3d.com account? That's even more selective than NeoGAF! :-) 

I am at a dilemma, I started work on making the secret map for the first episode of "quake like id did" and it was going to be a low grav map. In-fact I was going to probably do 2 or 3 low grav maps in total, but I have learned that on standard quake it has to be named e1m8.

Here's the dilemma choice -

1. Have no low grav maps.
2. Name the map e1m8 and have just one low grav map.
3. Have multiple low grav maps and use quoth.

I don't want to do #1 really. If I do #2 it means we get just the 1 low grav map like in vanilla quake. If I do option #3 then I could have a normal mode, a hard mode and a quoth mode (aka "quoth like id did"). I don't know how much of a pain in the butt it would be to balance for a vanilla mode and a quoth mode though.

Any thoughts? 

#2 sounds good to me! But it's not like I'd lead a pitchfork-mob to your castle if you do something else. 

with mob! 

as i assume there is a workaround for your problem.
Negke can help you for sure.
