Func_Msgboard: Remix Quake Mapping Challenge

Posted by gone on 2008/03/22 11:58:52

New Quake mapping challenge in the tradition of good ol' 100brush and Coagula contests. Only this time the theme is "remix".

Game: Quake, sp

Theme: remix/remake of an original Quake sp map.

You cant take first episode E1M*maps though (because Kell is doing them).

get original map sources here: http://rome.ro/2006/10/quake-map-sources-released.html
or http://www.speeds.quaddicted.com/quake_map_source.zip

Mod: no mod

Engine : Fitz ( so go ahead use a skybox if you want)

Submission deadline is 1st June so you have more than 2 months.
(I think its more than enough time, considering you have small maps and the source files to build on. But if you dont think so - let me know )

Judges: yes there will be few, to review and rate the maps (metlslime is one of them)
Im not judging, I will be making a map myself.

people interested so far: Zwiffle, Trinca, Zombie, GomJabbar, Spirit

maybe Voodoochopstiks, Gibbie, Neg|ke�

Post comments if you want to take part.
Please state what map you are going to make. No more than two people on the same map please

(or catch me on IRC quakenet #terrafusion)

Obsessive Compulsive

I've always maintained that to be a level designer, you have to have a bit of the obsessive compulsive personality type.

My suspicions were confirmed when I actually started meeting other LDs in person and found out that almost all of them were in fact obsessive compulsive.

For example, I met one guy who only ate pizza or french fries for every meal. He literally would not deviate from this. I honestly thought he was going to die of scurvy or something like that.

Scurvy

the bane of mappers. And seamen. Well, nowadays, there are some STD's as well.

step away from the desk at the top of every hour, do fifty push ups to keep your metabolism running at a high rate.

It really doesn't take much from slipping into decrepitude.

Oh, obviously very WIP and needs more work but this is the direction it's headed at least ... this is the very start area, E3M4.

Careful With Those

I'm keeping an eye on it, believe me. It's just over 5 minutes at this point for the whole level so I'm not concerned yet.

OK, well, 21 minutes ... still, not too bad. If it gets over an hour I'll start hacking. :P

Thanks all!

#239 posted by JneeraZ on 2008/05/04 23:01:23

It's coming along. Assuming work doesn't get crazy I should make it. Let's hope...

Im Up Shit Creek Without A Paddle.

Butim on holiday this week. ;D

I dont like letting people down and looking like a twat, so. . . .

Has anyone reached the stage of beta-testing yet?

#241 posted by JneeraZ on 2008/05/05 11:35:53

I used the id map as a base so my level has always been playable.

#242 posted by Spirit on 2008/05/05 14:10:40

I just sealed my map some days ago. It looks 50% as good as the original, has 20% the details, 0% items and monsters.

Oh, did I ever mention that QuArK is a piece of shit when it comes to maps with more than 20 brushes? Each click makes all views update and that takes about a second. Retexturing and aligning is so much fun this way!

Err I disagree, QuArK is fine if you configure it properly. I think you should use only 2 views (bottom and side view): no 3D view is helpful in this case. Also, if you want to use 3 side view + 3D view, etc.. you need a speed runner computer... though..

Heh, Damn You Lunaran

#244 posted by - on 2008/05/05 21:25:12

the 'someone out there' was specifically referring to me... I really need to get back into the mappin'.

#245 posted by Spirit on 2008/05/12 12:02:30

I got my mapping mojo back.

Hehe...

#246 posted by RickyT33 on 2008/05/12 12:14:25

I started working on e4m1rmx after a small spell of speedmapping last week. 19 days left :o
It's gonna be tight! :P
Has anyone done any testing yet?
