I once made my house in UT, kept the same scale as my own house pretty much but sadly these games are designed with really fast player characters in mind and dont work from a gameplay POV. Larger spaces might work, like your town centre or something but these are usually very flat and wouldnt work for different reasons. Some games it may be cool, like Doom 2 or Duke 3D or even newer games like Left 4 Dead or Half-life 2 since those can have more real-world settings. But Quake is really abstract. 

"The problem I wanted to keep the real proportion . "

Yeah, don't do that. :) Real world architecture might be a good learning platform to get used to Quake editing, but it doesn't make for good maps. 

Neat little map, I enjoyed running through it. From the description I knew what to expect in the gameplay department so I wasn't particularly disappointed by a lack thereof and don't hold that against it. Also, as much as I love Quake, I feel its gameplay is pretty flat and limited even in best case scenarios.

I made a Quake map once and tried to be somewhat "proportional". In my experience, that's impossible as Quake is fundamentally disproportionate: crazy move speed, insane jump height/distance, quakeguys eyes being in his chest, massive pickups, etc.

Maybe you could find a happy medium by just keeping the map architecture proportionate to itself and double, or maybe even triple, the map size. Something along the lines of de_rats, just not as huge.

This would more or less play to Quake's strengths (freedom of movement, more enemies in the combat space, etc.) and you could scratch that "proportion itch".

Just my two cents, nifty project nonetheless.

damn 

not sure if it's the map we deserve or the one we need right now, but looks awesome! looks like it combines some great elements from the ever-classic e1m8, as well as runic maps by kell and necros! can't wait!

I just spent several hours building some evil bloody flesh thing today but don't have anything worth giving images of yet. 

Looks awesome: release it now !! 

Until now. 

 

BRB, changing pants. 

 

The Cthulhu eye texture fits very well. 

I decide that we take a vote:

Is negke a fuck?

AYE X

NAY 

I checked out MyHomeAlpha.zip and found it exceptionally well made for a "my home" map. Very creative, surprising and fun. Got stuck in the zombie cavern, is there a way out? 

is a huge cock. 

Of course I'm going to finish it - can't wait to see Daz get lost in search of the key doors! 

Mmmm veiny.

Spike and I (mostly Spike) have been working on a .lit2 format that can do custom lightmap scales per-face.

It's looking promising: it'll be backwards compatible (light will generate regular lightmaps, .lit, and .lit2), and I have some tool support already (you can set "_lightmapscale" on a func_group/etc. to modify those faces, same as q3 I think). 

I am imagining all the amazing lighting effects I can do with more detailed shadows. Been after something like this for years :D 

That's awesome! Can't wait to see sexy new maps sporting this extra quality! 

Nice!...misaligned texture... 

it's classic id style... 

I have a folder full of crappy box maps like that for testing compiler features. 

so that's pretty damn amazing??! so you basically end up with a .bsp, .lit and .lit2 and your engine will just ignore the .lit2 if it doesn't support it? that's awesome!
