Func_Msgboard: Inspiration & Reference

Posted by metlslime on 2003/02/17 08:18:34

I just wanted to know if people had any links to good websites for either level design inspiration (photos, paintings, concept art, etc.) or just for architectural reference. We had a thread like this on the old qmap, but we know how much good that does us.

Can I Get Some Inspiration To Do The Sound Placement

#3960 posted by quakeulf on 2017/08/13 12:49:48

I know I need to place some good-ass ambient sound effects in my map but it's a chore. I wish that sounds could be generated from the surface (just like light already is) in the texture editor so that you can get a drop-down menu right in there to select the sound you want emitted from the source, its attenuation and volume, repeated or not and be done with it, but right now this doesn't exist.

It's a chore, please inspire me.

It's good to have a visual cue that motivates the sound. So a crack in a wall would be a good excuse to put howling wind at that spot. Same with blinking computer textures, put some ambient computer sounds there. Small, dark hallways can have some kind of unique rumble or hum as if they are near a sound source.

It's what I am currently doing but oh well, I got to churn it out.

Anyhow, which was the first Quake-map to use jumppads? I'm not talking first for either games, but just the first. I know Quake has the tech to make jumppads which was already used in the wind tunnel map E3M5, but it wasn't exactly the concept of jumppads as portray'd in Quake 3.

Huh?

What?

Which Game Had A Jumppad First?

Jumpads

Quake 1 only had wind tunnels.

Quake 3 Arena had proper jump pads.

BUT... Rise of the Triad I believe was the first FPS to have jump pads.

Oh My...

You're right. That's the game.

hyperphotos are fascinating, surreal photo montages to lose oneself in.
