Q2 Map For Q2 Cafe Map Thingy...

Took me a day to do all the gameplay blocking out first and the basic lighting. And then another day to do all the texture work and do the lighting proper.

I think gameplay-wise it's one of the best DM maps I've done, it's like a cross between DM6, Q2DM8 and Deck-16.
Contest hasn't really started yet but the map is mostly done, needs a couple of gameplay tweaks and a bit of bug-testing.

Needs More Ammo

I might run out if I hold down mouse1 all the time. DM is supposed to be about dealing with a fuck-ton of enemies and surviving against ridiculous odds, not ammo management.

I see what you did there

Looks Neat And Well-designed.

If a bit grey in places.

But Enough About My Hair

Yeah...

Maybe make some of the inset pieces either orange or black, even though visuals are a secondary consideration for DM.

Here's a primary one though; the 16 unit slope next to the stairs might cause a problem for movement.

#11993 posted by FifthElephant on 2015/02/02 13:16:57

I think colored lighting is overdone in a lot of quake 2 maps. The lip on the stairs is not a problem but the ladders in the map are a bit crap for some reason.
It's mostly done now and I could release in its current state and be happy but the contest doesn't start for a bit so I might polish ot up before then.

Nah

I meant change the textures to those red/orange bulkheads - if memory serves they are the same versions of the ones you've used.

I always liked the powerstation black textures as well, but maybe that's just fond memories of that episode, probably the most enjoyable one in Q2 for me.

If you're not interested in colored lights, I suggest stronger shadows where appropiate. Obviously visibility in DM is a concern, but nobody would mind if the ceilings faded to nearly complete darkness.

Maybe even hack AO into q2's light somehow?

Q2 has radiosity. It literally already has the real thing.

#11997 posted by necros on 2015/02/02 19:11:08

i remember trying to compile a map with q1rad a short while ago and it was still slow as hell.... i dunno, but fake radiosity seems like a better option even now.

Hello Gentlemen

CZG : "There's supposed to be more of them, and they should have a proper finale, but dammit, I'm so sick and tired of these things. "

Who Cares.
