Func_Msgboard: Laboratory X

Posted by Orl on 2008/05/18 21:42:56

Originally a map that was supposed to be included in the Orlmap Series 2 pack but was rejected for two reasons.

One is it requires an engine that is capable of playing maps that exceed lightmaps, clipnodes and marksurfaces. AguiRe's glquake is the recommended engine. Darkplaces should work as well, but has not been tested. I tried my absolute best to try and get this map running in standard Quake engines, but I could not and I feel sucky because of that. Sorry for those who cannot play the map.

Two is I am not very pleased overall with the map.

So I am releasing this as a stand alone map. It's a large greenish base map with plenty of traps but quite linear. Maybe an eyesore in some places.

This is my last base map for a very long while, and it's a bit different from the many other base maps. Hate it or not, do provide feedback for those who can.

Refer to the omlabx.txt for map info, installation and special thanks. Stay tuned for Orlmap Series 2, it will be a lot better than this.

I've got to play this map for real some day. Love the style! Just bugs me that I have to boot into Windows for it. ;)

your assumption seems right, I play with host_maxfps 999.

- Wheel works fine with default host_maxfps 72

- gameplay is made "artificially" hard by starving the player on health/armor. People who play more carefully might like that though.

- NH demo 8:50 http://shub-hub.com/files/demos_singleplayer/omlabx_sw850.7z

I randomly loaded this map (playing through maps beginning with o) but I hadn't played it before - too difficult with random sudden deaths back in 2008, and still too difficult even on easy (maybe I'm just rusty though), so I cheated.

But it has some awesome architecture in places; the ferris wheel for example. I was totally surprised by the underground dome. Didn't see it coming. Reminded me of portal 2. Excellent! I had a lot of fun flying around in god mode after picking up the red armour by the bombs.

Props also to Sielwolf for recording the NH, and for uploading it to a server that's still around 5 years later!
