Func_Msgboard: Quake Map Jam 666 : Fire And Brimstone

Posted by DaZ on 2015/07/24 19:05:00

Map Jamming is about creating maps of any size or detail level over several weeks, using a certain theme and/or texture set. Check the readme file in the zip below for further details of what the Jam is about.

Any questions or comments, please post to this thread only.

Theme - Fire and Brimstone
Deadline - 16th August 2015

Texture Wad - There are texture wads for this jam that include many theme related textures. It is not required to use these textures in your level, they are provided for inspiration and convenience only! Check this texture repository
for more wads : https://www.quaddicted.com/files/wads/

Compile Tools - It is recommended that you use EricW's updated Quake compiler suite as they add much new functionality to lighting and visibility. Texture lighting in particular should be very useful for this jam!
Download EricW's tools : http://ericwa.github.io/tyrutils-ericw/
Download worldcraft / Jackhammer fgd for these tools> : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/33279452/quake4ericwTools.fgd

Engine:
Make it for Fitzquake / Quakespasm, bitches. You know the score.

It is a good idea to find reference images that you like so you can follow them and avoid staring at a blank editor wondering what to make!

Needs more lighting on the actual base part though, it's too dark atm.

Those rocks though..ziiiiiiiiiip

Looking At It

_sunlight2 from Ericw's latest light tool might look bloody fantastic in this area with some _dirt as well!

Damn Necros!

Gorgeous!

necros' map looks like it could just about pass for a recent id tech map.

I'll post a screenshot a bit later - I've been sleeping through the day.

Update

Warrens map is fine, all works perfectly with the right progs :P

Jam 6 Map

I have basically a big cave with some lava and a couple of rudimentary structures. Because it's mostly just one big open area I'm having trouble figuring out how to add any game play.

I may have overestimated when I said 4 rooms and 3 scrags in a previous post. I started late, built almost completely from scratch, and have spent way too much time making rock work and trying to get lava surface light to look okay.

I do have a few hours I can spend on it this evening though. Maybe I'll get it in good enough shape to post a screenshot later.

In my transition to not-epic I think I lost your email and the car was pulling out of the driveway. I had no time to find it. :-P Glad the map works...

Just Click My Name Breh!

But it's np :) I tested it a few times and it indeed works. Now go on holiday! ;)

Some Very Cool Stuff Guys.

Keep it going. HYPE!

#377 posted by ptoing on 2015/08/10 18:01:38

Really looking forward to playing all of these. Played Warrens already, and for being an unfinished map it is a very nice start. I hope you finish it :)

Glad You Guys Like My Shots!

I'll be away for a few days, so I'll have to make my map very short (if I ever stop procrastinating).

#382 posted by ma†echa on 2015/08/10 21:06:13

Aw man, I'm so behind now. I've been pretty sick the past week so I have nothing new to show since the last rollcall shots I sent last week� Weaksauce. Hope I can still build some semblance of a finished map!

Going To Start Broadcasting Soon...

Quake mapping.
Black metal.
Me yelling at my dogs.

Jam HYPE.

CustomShambler: you know, this is kinda fucking cool
CustomShambler: got a stream from a skinny brit playing a load of trance, a stream from an expat yank in fucking hawaii with a bunch of dogs playing mellow black metal, both working on similarly themed but entirely different and good-looking maps for a 20 year old game that still rocks

Now I Wish I Was Streaming.

You can add a yank with a baby playing ska in Germany. :-p

amazing.

Needs Much Work

#387 posted by Rick on 2015/08/11 18:52:29

Was up till 4 am late Sunday mapping and got in another 5 or 6 hours yesterday. Finally it's looking "not too bad". Sadly, the week is getting shorter and what yet needs doing seems a lot.

Impressive, Most Impressive!

I've been enjoying the progress guys. Keep it up!

Oh this looks pretty nice! Love the design of the tower and bridge supports. The fog doesn't really match the environment but it still works somehow.

Nice.
