Anyway, I just wanted go to path_corner X and the ability to change sounds.
As for advanced trains with some cool effects (moving water etc.) you might want to check out poxs extras (if you didn't already) http://developer.chaoticbox.com/quake.php?tab=poxgoodies These are a few days old shots, but of pretty much finished areas. Although there are still lots of little ends to tie up here and there, I feel like I am making good progress toward the end of the map now - although I'm not quite sure how large the end is going to be :)
http://than.leveldesign.org/files/basepack_s05.jpg http://than.leveldesign.org/files/basepack_s06.jpg http://than.leveldesign.org/files/basepack_s07.jpg The first two are of the same area, and the last one is a little corridor bit off the stairwell that sits at the side of the main liftshaft (well, who knows, the lifts could break and you'd be stuck several feet underground reading old copies of National Geographic for 3 years before someone fixes it) I will try and get some more mapping done tonight, and also collect my textures and modified bits into a wad so that anyone using them can update their wad with them. I think it's better than posting the entire idbase wad each time :) I can't use the net at home, and can't use IRC at work, so I won't be in there for a few weeks at least. Once the net is sorted out, I will join.
Had a few days break from mapping, but will probably resume at the weekend :) now my base map becomes 6Mb and I am using the extras_p4 mod. I added a hiprotate.qc and a earthquake.qc as well as my newboss.qc
I wondered if this map could fit in the basepak as the use of the Quothpak seems to be the final option? najs... is that weird computer thingy underwater? It's cool in it's construction, I think you've really made big improvements as a mapper.
I like that last shot a lot. Geometry and texture line up is quite effective there.
thks guys! i think i progress a lot in this last part of map! :\ but now it looks like was other mapper that did area after silver key :) must rebuild the others area to :\ or will look like were two mappers working in this map and isn�t true!!!
Bambuz, JPL and HeadThump gave me real good advices thks guys for all the help!!! P.S--> Bambuz go map to Q1 you lazy bitch! :) Looking cool. Like the underwater computer that others pointed out.
Some suggestions: SHOT1 try raising the height of the plain textured part of the ceiling and making sure it isn't as brightly lit. I think it will make the room feel a bit bigger, and also should improve the look of the ceiling. Also, consider putting a lip around the hole in the ceiling so that it doesn't just blend into the plain textured part. SHOT2 Looks cool :D SHOT3 I just think the inside of the pipe could use more detail. Perhaps makethe parts where you have the lights stick inwards a little bit to get some more shape. I can't explain it very easily - sorry :/ Perhaps also think about making the bend in the pipe have a small 45 degree bevel on the inside too - and again, lighgting looks a little plain - maybe it's joequake that is doing it, but try putting a light entity where each visible light is (in addition to what you already have) and set the brightness to 400 and attenuation ("wait" key) to 8 or so. It should give you nice highlights around the actual lightsources, which should make the lighting more interesting. Keep up the good work :) btw, I can't use my usb drive at work any more thanks to a security crackdown, so I can't bring in screenshots from home to upload. Basically, I can't show you what I've been up to with my level of late (not much :) Screenshots are good, you're making progress.
My map suffers hard from HOM's. Had to go back halfway to improve the brushes. Nice work: you really made real improvements regarding your previous releases... As I told you (during your scampie blues...) you would have made a big mistake stopping mapping qt this time... Furthermore after reading the few comments above, I now conviced that you are not a newbi any more, even if all can be perfected... In anyway: Keep it up !! 8D
BTW, I think I will be ready for Xmas... with a smaller map than I was expecting... Unfortunately, my map will not be based on Quoth pack... Sorry for this... but I think the result is quite cool... I'll post screenshots later on... I read my post, and it is full of typos... Too much beer tonight.. Maybe I would have posted it on the drunk thread.. doh !!! :P
I'm very sober since 3 or 4 years.. so with only 1 beer, I already feel the drunkiness coming....
Drunkiness is over... Here are some very early screenshots from my Base map... I hope to finish it in the delay, for Xmas... It remains the ultimate room to build, located just after the GK Door actually, where the last big figth will take place..
