Hipshot 
Wow, that looks very nice. I know you've done amazing things for Quake 3 (and some other multiplayer games), but just out of curiosity, is this your first single player map? 
FifthElephant 
Cool, keep at it! Are you the only person in the world making a Q2SP map, or is there an active community of Q2SP mappers? 
Total_newb 
There seems to be a somewhat active community at -
http://leray.proboards.com/

But the Q2 community is nowhere near as active as ours and I am struggling to get answers to my questions fast enough. I expect once TrenchBroom 2 is release we'll see a huge increase in the different maps for different games. 
Aguirre 
should also officially release his q2 engine, it is perfect IMHO. 
I'm Using Quake 2 Pro 
it seems to be doing the trick pretty well... what's so good about Aguirres? 
Nothing To Fiddle With 
it looks like q2 just with WS support and other things similar to what Fitzquake does. 
Total_newbie 
Well, haven't done any mod SP since HL and Q1 really, so it's gonna be a really fun to return to it! 
What HL SP 
did you do? 
"since HL And Q1" 
You've made Q1SP content before? Did you use a different alias? 
Nothing That Matters... 
I did it ages ago, nothing that matters so. 
 
Assuming you did q3 maps hipshot?
This is quite nice http://lvlworld.com/media/id:2126/s:212612893015555064

I like the style, brick and sewery at the bottom, with mixes of wood and pipes and a more realistic setting with buildings. You should convert those textures to q1 and do a full q1sp out of it. 
Convert? 
Why bother if some existing made-for-q1 wads can pull this off just as well. 
You Mean 
The Kingpin set? There's another industrial one as well thats similar and I think Nehahra had a few in the same vein.

Can't see anything wrong with having more industrial textures.

Although after staring at the Rubicon2 set for months I probably won't be doing industrial for a while! 
Rivets, Rivets Everywhere!! 
Run! 
[Kona] 
Yes and <a href="url">this one</a> I just released, same theme kinda, but "even more". But I feel the Q3 community is "dead", even the QL forums, there's like 2 new maps there.
And I have been wanting to do Q1SP for a long time now, so I figured why not now, those Jam2 levels are really great!

ROQ 
...lookin' good. 
Not Kingpin 
the bricks can be jf2, the wood can be from a sock wad, and the metals could be cr8, ogro, or even some idbase/wizmet mix
Kingpin In Quake 
Has been underused. Here's a map by yours truly that uses Kingpin to good effect, if I may say so myself:

Doors 
A made a func_door, out of two brushes. But it doesn't move. When I create a door with a single brush it moves, also, looking at E1M1, that door that consists of three brushes, seems to move, but I can't see that they do any different than what I do, seems to use the same spawnflags, just different shape and texturing.

I did search on google for a solution, but I'm having a hard time finding good Q1 mapping newb tutorials that describes the issue I have. 
Well, Two Things 
@Hipshot: Sorry for pointing out the obvious, but there are at least two things you can try. You can look at some released map sources and see how exactly they have implemented the doors. The map jams come with sources for all the maps, so they would be a good place to start. You can also find the sources for the original iD maps that John Romero released many years ago. They are a bit old, though.

And the other thing is to copy your door into a minimal map that has only the features you need to play it and attempt to open the door. Then if there is a problem, post the map here and ask people to look at it and explain why the door doesn't work the way you expect it to. For example, make two boxy box rooms and put a door between them. It doesn't even have to be lit properly or look pretty. 
Hipshot 
By two brushes I assume you mean two seperate piece that move in different directions?

If so, turn on the "Don't Link" spawnflag. 
Captain Obvious 
Sorry, that I wasn't clear enough, but I looked at the E1M1 Source map and it was as simple as mine, that's what I thought was so strange.

For some reason, it didn't move, but when I created a new one today, it worked, they look exactly the same in the editor, strange.


@ijed, it works w/o the don't link flag, it moves both brushes.

And sorry about posting this in the wrong forum section.
