Map Jam 9999 - Contract Revoked / Quoth / Knave

Posted by PuLSaR on 2017/06/16 23:37:56

Ok, it's time to start Map Jam 9.

Today is 15th anniversary of a great Contract Revoked episode. We all played it, we all love it so Contact Revoked map jam starts today.

Therefore you should use incredible Knave texture set and Quoth mod by Kell for your maps. Details in readme below.

Dark Lowecraftian atmosphere, epic castles, creepy dungeons, fleshy caves, it's all up to you. As long as it's covered with Knave textures.
For inspiration you can play Contract Revoked, Quoth, Lost chapters and many other maps tagged as quoth and knave on quaddicted.

Deadline is July 15th, so you have 4 weeks to make your maps.

Textures and Prefabs

Now go map!

I like the look of that start map, it doesn't seem confusing to find portals, just big. Which makes sense since there's a lot of entries.

I never thought that people would be up in arms over a start map being too big.

Lol

If He Wants

Skacky can fill it with monsters as a separate release later if he really wants to. As it is, on with mapping.

I came up with a concept last night. Name is "Foucalt Vaults" (the player is like a pendulum going back and forth across a chasm-like tower/hall). Bsp name jam9_qmaster.

I have some custom textures that build on the knave set. Skacky, I can upload them here if you want to use them for any features around the entrance in the start map? The metal bits I'm using as a sort of foundation/drainage underneath the classic knave brick portion.

Sure, upload them. I'll see what I can do with them and they also may be useful to other people.

#153 posted by DelusionalBear on 2017/06/27 05:09:17

@skacky my map will be called 'Delusions of Grandeur' and its file name - j9dbear.bsp That is assuming I can manage to finish it on time :)

Am I correct assuming that level exit should lead to start.bsp?

Some progress http://i.imgur.com/mBJMJsm.jpg

#154 posted by skacky on 2017/06/27 05:24:39

Yes, all map exits should lead to start.bsp. Your map filename should also be jam9_yourname.bsp for convenience's sake. Organizers can rename it later but it's better if the map already has the correct filename.

This Looks Great, By The Way!

By convention, jam map names follow this template: jamX_mappername, so in this case yours should be jam9_dbear.

Damn,

#157 posted by Mugwump on 2017/06/27 05:31:33

second time today someone posts what I'm typing while I'm typing it...

#158 posted by DelusionalBear on 2017/06/27 09:20:23

There's actually an id connection and a Lovecraft connection in the title. :)
