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.

Neat! I wish they'd named names or whatever but it's still cool ... also, moar screenshots! :)

They linked to some ModDB page that has the pack and several kinda poorly framed screenshots...Think the magazine just took the best shot from the group and used it! Too bad it wasn't the shot Daz made that showed all the maps together.

Nice!

I'm slightly irked that they didn't link to our board but instead linked to some random blokes moddb page. I think func_ needs to set up a page there or something now.

Is that the first time a mainstream gaming mag has acknowledged Quake's mapping scene since, I dunno, Zerstorer?

"outright Platforming"

I wasn't expecting this jam to be featured on PC gamer. Great work everyone!

@adib: Yep, the shot is from ionous' map.

Now that's cool.

wait, so people create modDB pages for mods that they themselves did not create/participate in? This is normal?
