A medieval-ish-themed DM map with a big lava river and a bunch of teleporters.

Any mipmap hiccups are because I wrote my own WAD compiler, both as an exercise and because I couldn't find an existing Linux-native one.

(Oops, there's supposed to be a box of shells up on that long catwalk! I accidentally picked it up while taking the screenshots.) 

The lighting is a bit flat for my taste but it does show off your textures nicely. Great work.

In the previous version, I somehow glossed over the rocket launcher platform being inaccessible unless you happened to have spawned up there. There was originally a trigger_push-and-ramp jump pad to get up there, but I had to scrap it because it only worked reliably with QW physics.
I've lightened up the brick textures as it was hard to get good lighting on them without the lights being blown out.
The truck is now slightly smaller and has brake lights to light up the rocket launcher area. It no longer has iron bars behind it because they got in the way and they could trap players.

Nice adjustments. Have you considered add bot support to the map?

For rerelease: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2580864534

traditional bots: https://neogeographica.com/site/pages/guides/deathmatch_with_bots.html 

I put together a quick and (mostly) functional .nav file for the rerelease. Bots can navigate most of the map fine but tend to get stuck in a teleporter loop trying to get the nailgun without a run-up, and aren't quite dextrous enough to make it through the lava slag path alive.

I'm hoping to find some documentation somewhere that describes older bot waypoints in more detail. After digging through the FrikBot QC, I've found that I might be able to put up a .ent map patch for FrikBot-specific waypoints, if I can find what map fields they use.

For other bots, I have no clue. A few hours of searching the internet brought up nothing else other than a few mentions of .loc files, which from what I've read, seem to be more of a "where I am" thing for chat messages rather than bot waypoints. I'll continue searching and asking around. 

For FrikBot you could alternately create a separate ".way" file for the map, if you don't want to bake those entities into the map.

I've never tried FrikBot waypointing myself, but the docs at https://www.insideqc.com/frikbot/fbx/readme.html have a "Waypointing" section that describes using an in-game editor to create and then dump out the waypoints. You can choose to dump them in a format for ".way" files, or as entities to include in your map, or even as QuakeC if you wanted to handle the waypoints in mod code (but IMO don't do that).

I wouldn't bother with other bot support I think. Nobody makes Omicron bot routes these days, and I think Frogbot pretty much requires baking the routes into QuakeC code. 

So, for the better part of the past year I've been sort of writing my own version of the Quake world engine, specifically excluding anything gameplay related, in GameMaker Studio. Most of the vanilla Q1 funcs and triggers are implemented, in addition to some of the community-curated additions like brush alphas, RGB lightmaps, and the experimental new lightmap and light grid formats. That actually makes GM the first engine to support the new Q1 decoupled lightmaps and light grids.

Bravo. Looking forward to seeing how it comes together. 

It's been like 8 months of me toying away in my spare time. I'm hoping to support most of progs_dump, Copper, Arcane Dimensions, etc if I can help it lol I've already got rotatable brushes, breakable funcs, including the breakable spawner. Just the other day I added a nifty caustic light simulation using light style 64 multiplied by a funky caustic shader I wrote. :P 

A few screenshots from my first ever map. It's loosely based on a reocurring nightmare I used to have as a kid, probably due to playing Q1 too much lol.

Still very early in development, can't wait to share it once complete. 

Screens looks sweet, keep it on! 

Yeah this looks fun already. Keep at it. 

Looks nice and varied. If you want to go further in variety, make next rooms less cube-like in general shape. 

The only thing I would change really is the floor texture in the upright brush/door frame in mfm2. It just screams 'floor!' to me, if you know what I mean?

But yeah - good stuff!
