A beta. There are a few known bugs I need to fix, and I also wanted some gameplay feedback. Is this the wrong spot for me to post?

Nope It's Correct.

Nope That's Cool Man.

Shots look nice, hope you get some good feedback.

Nice Shots Mclogenog

Congrats on the beta release!

Why Can't I Hold All These First Maps!

Yet another "My first map" post!
Took a map from an old doom2 dm wad of mine and remade it. Probably not the best dm map, but it served as a place to get used to working with TB.
Small map, 1v1 should be hectic, 2-4 would be bonkers.

From The Shots

needs more verticality. something bout the colors is slightly off (palette issues maybe). Looks quite good otherwise, detailing looks weirdly good and sufficiently undetailed in those shots.

I mean the mixture of textures. I find it quite hard to have good color scheme when choosing textures in quake myself :-( Something about the limited choice of base textures.

Nice map for your first outing! Some thoughts:

1. good use of textures overall

2. good idea to choose DM as your first Quake map to work out the process of creating... the Quake SP community is much more active than MP for the most part. I switched from making only MP maps to SP and it's better overall as many more ppl play my maps. Something to consider. func is really geared toward SP maps

3. your lighting is quit good for an old school style map. I encourage you to look at ericw's tools website to see what can be done now with lighting. (I am currently working on lighting tutorials.

https://ericwa.github.io/ericw-tools/

4. I really liked the small touches in your map. The uneven walls and floors, the door mysteriously cracked open in the other area. The warped woods planks were cool and I am stealing that idea!!! These all give your map life.

5. some of the areas felt a bit the same though so easy to get turned around. You can vary lighting and / or textures to give players signposts. The player should never be lost in a level.

6. congrats on a very nice looking level

7. keep mapping for Quake! you are off to a very good start.

bonus question: are there leaks? is this map vis'd? I only ask because I had a weird framerate issue here and there. It could be my computer tho.

I posted this on YT but here's a repost:

I am working on videos this weekend. Would you mind if I did a "newb review" of your video as you mentioned? It may not be out for a while but I like this idea and of course will start with yours!

Thank you both for the comments and suggestions, really appreciate it. :D
Coming from mapping for doom, I still a have bit more to get used to with quake hence the map is a bit more horz than vert. I kinda ran out of ideas at the time so yeah its a bit “where am I?”, as well as high and low detail all over.

As for the vis and leaks, I compiled in TB with ericw tools 0.18 and everything appeared to be ok, unless I missed something. It never complained about leaks in the log after the last compile so /shrug?
Hehe, I can’t even check it atm since my rig of out of commission until monday when the replacement for the new psu I got thursday comes in.

@SgtCrispy

I'll play it again today on my gaming rig. I wanted to be sure you had vis'd it. The compile is likely fine.

I just played a DM session with Reaper bots. I added 4 - twas a bit hectic. But the framerate is fine. When I tested it before I was at work on an iMac so crappy Intel grfx. It's smooth as butter on my gaming rig.

2008 was a rough year for mobile internet.

In 2008 I still had 56k dial-up.

I still had a Pentium II.

Yearly Update 8-)

#15619 posted by Hrimfaxi on 2018/04/09 22:12:05

A year ago I showed this of a basemap I has been working on for around 14 years.

Anyway here are some more pics of the map, or rather the maps, because since them I have split the map in 3.

I also wrote that maybe it would be done in about 5 or 6 years 8-)
Well it looks like I was right, since I hawen't had much time to work on the map.
Another reason is that I have promised Tronyn to finish this map.

The Promise Shall Not Be Broken.

Awesome screenshots!

Wow

#15621 posted by PuLSaR on 2018/04/09 23:23:31

finish them

Holy Schnikes!

#15622 posted by Redfield on 2018/04/10 01:21:30

It would be a crime to not finish/release these.
