Func_Msgboard: Quake Map Jam 666 : Fire And Brimstone

Posted by DaZ on 2015/07/24 19:05:00

Map Jamming is about creating maps of any size or detail level over several weeks, using a certain theme and/or texture set. Check the readme file in the zip below for further details of what the Jam is about.

Any questions or comments, please post to this thread only.

Theme - Fire and Brimstone
Deadline - 16th August 2015

Texture Wad - There are texture wads for this jam that include many theme related textures. It is not required to use these textures in your level, they are provided for inspiration and convenience only! Check this texture repository
for more wads : https://www.quaddicted.com/files/wads/

Compile Tools - It is recommended that you use EricW's updated Quake compiler suite as they add much new functionality to lighting and visibility. Texture lighting in particular should be very useful for this jam!
Download EricW's tools : http://ericwa.github.io/tyrutils-ericw/
Download worldcraft / Jackhammer fgd for these tools> : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/33279452/quake4ericwTools.fgd

Engine:
Make it for Fitzquake / Quakespasm, bitches. You know the score.

It is a good idea to find reference images that you like so you can follow them and avoid staring at a blank editor wondering what to make!

Thank you Daz!

Since Quaddicted is not available right now, here is an archive link to use in the meantime for the texture wads.

"* The map can be any quality level (speed, turtle, full detail)"

What's speed, turtle and "full detail"?

What Game Type?

Must be a regular SP map, no multiplayer, no mods?

So ... it's unclear. There ARE WADs for this or their aren't? I'm thinking not but ...

typically the jams are vanilla quake.

Speed map = 24 hour map
turtle map = speed map but a bit longer to make (id software quality)
full detail = intense detail, mfx/sock/tronyn/skacky etc

there's some wads above in the OP. I think it's a loose theme, those are suggested. As long as it follows the fire and brimstone theme (some of the reference shots are base themed)

historical note: "speed map" used to be 1-2 hours

There are two wads in the download for you to use. You don't have to use them, and you can use other textures of your own choosing as well!

Single player, vanilla Quake!

Speed map was 1 hour, then extended to 100 mins. Then extended to as long as you wanted, since that's how long people were taking anyway.

A Bit More Info

Turtle map was 1 week.

Well....

#15 posted by FifthElephant on 2015/07/24 21:54:08

I stand well and truly corrected then...

I wouldn't be able to make a decent map in an hour that's for sure.
