No.

That's pretty impressive, but the final result just doesn't look very believable, which is a shame... Could probably do better, and MUCH faster, by making a matte painting instead (then again, kinda silly making a matte painting of something that already exists, but whatever).
Nice dedication and patience though. =) 

Oh man, if I was gonna spend 11 months on a single "painting", I'm sure I'd pick a scene more interesting than an empty railway station.

Still impressive, but also, what Bal said. 

...but I certainly wouldn't have said that it had taken me 11 months, even if it did. And 15,000 layers is just plain barkin'. And a 1.7 gig flattened file - I've got plenty of 40 and 50 meg Photoshop files, but 1.7 gig!

Nevertheless, a tremendous achievement (and very HL2ish). 

It goes some way to explaining why he does what he does in the way he does it. 

I strongly suggest waiting 2-4 weeks. Both Intel and AMD have announced very aggressive price cuts today, with Intel slashing up to 60% of prices on some CPU models. 

since my site quakemaps.nm.ru was deleted I made a new one. Thanks Spirit for hosting. You'll find my maps and photos there. There still may exists some bugs so please report me if you find it. Also it has a new design, all comments are welcome.

I've never seen DAV's Quake levels mentioned anywhere.

http://davlevels.planetquake.gamespy.com/quakelvl.htm 

Those are some of my favorite levels from the oldschool days. None of them were power-packed with bad guys, and they aren't as pretty or big by today's standard, but each of them had something different/creative/unique.

I especially like QKWall and QKFort. These levels are well worth a play through for anyone who hasn't. Unfortunately, the low monster counts won't be much of a challenge for experienced players. 

I am missing these... Are they any good? 

Does anyone know how the get in contact with the ol' Crash? His old mail address seems defunct. 

is a bitch with secrets sometimes, but his maps are very solid, i found some of his Q2 maps really nice, def worth playing. 

I always associated DAV with the Quake2 scene, as he was prolific with several good titles , but this is the first I have heard about his Quake levels. 

Where I can get this 'new q1 SP map' by Qurnel?
This map was annonced at the news thread "New Q1SP - "Facere Sin"". URL copy/pasted below
http://www.celephais.net/board/view_thread.php?id=15397

MisYU, metlslime, nitin, leviathan, xen, pushplay, Fern, nonentity, scampie, anybody else please put the working link for download this level. 

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume English is not your first language. If you read the thread carefully, you'll notice that the initial post was edited by metlslime to indicate that there is no real map, and it was just an April Fool's joke. 

I guess this spot is as good a place as any. I am trying to compile fitzquake. I have VC++ 6 installed with sp6, dxsdk installed, microsoft platform sdk, and masm32 installed. I get this message:

does anyone have any idea? 

Yeah, I ran into this as well. What this means is you don't have an assembler compiler. Some bits of the quake source were written in assembler because it was released in '96 when nobody had especially fast computers. In order for the 3d engine to be feasible it had to be heavily optimised, and this was one of the ways. Of course, it's now a pain.

The way I found to resolve this was to get a copy of MASM32, a free package from http://www.masm32.com/
Once you've installed it, you need to add the folder masm32/bin to your list of compiler locations. I don't know for sure where you look in VC++6, somewhere in the paths for the project/for general compilation. You may need to add the masm32/include and masm32/lib to the list of include files and libraries respectively. It can't hurt to do so, anyway.

Then you should be able to build these bits as normal. Bin contains the missing ml.exe, and this will create the missing object files (eg snd_mixa.obj) from the assembler code. Hope this is useful, if anyone can fill in the details of adding these paths in VC++6, it would help. 

I don't know if this site has been linked before, but I found it when trying to track down some bots to test my map with.

http://hosted.planetquake.gamespy.com/botarea51/main/default.asp

Still updated. Run by Mephisto - someone from inside3d?

Anyway, it has reviews of all the most popular Quake bots, and a few short articles all wrapped up in a pleasant site design.

<cheese> 

its me, but I notice a quicker load time on func.

if so, cheers metlslime. 

No it's definitely running fast -- like lightning fast. Good work metl 

it seems to vary, at times it is noticably quicker but at other times it is as slow as normal :(

Still, an improvement is noticed, so GG :) 

i didn't actually do anything so it must be a hardware change or something on the host machine.
