That sounds like a word.

In case we get any issues with connecting the pieces, there is always the possibility of connecting them with teleporters.

That sounds like a word.

They mistakenly sent me "Hooked on Phonetics" when I was a kid (jk )

[golden_boy]

Yeah, that was German English. A word is something to go by.

@talisa - adams map

How lame. I have worked 3 days on this why? I'm tempted to unfriend you because of how much total bullshit that is.

It's my fault.

I didn't read the thread properly and thought after the chatroom conversation we had, talisa was going to be first.
I felt bad for jumping in front of her, now I see that I did it to you.
I'm sorry about that.

Would it be okay to attach your contribution after talisa's?

It better fucking be
jk, honestly, it takes some serious self-reminding but everyone is here to get along. No one wants to screw anyone out of participating in anything!

A list of participants needs to exist,otherwise this could happen again. Also , think about baseball & the batting lineup.

Although I'm a bit cowed by the difficulty selection tower, I would like to join this. I can just copy and paste dm3 in, right? (I joke)

I've not done one of these, so what are the limits? I hear keeping the layout is important?

[golden_boy]

The rules are that you take the map from the person who's before you in the chain (that would be everybody except me) and add at least 1 room to it.

The rest is common sense - don't try to put a Roman amphitheater into something that's more a room and corridor structure, don't take 6 months to do it, etc.

I'm not sure if people are keeping to any rules though.

Currently Talisa is working on a continuation of Adam's part, and Mad Gypsy is working on another part. I'd suggest we hold off until these 3 parts are joined before the map is continued.

The next in line after Talisa and MG are:

Primal Love (only if he wants to map)
R00k (only if he wants to map)
Dutch
Zop
GB

as far as I can see.

[talisa]

what i got so far after an hour or so of mapping:


decided to roll with the floating island theme of adam cuz i really like that theme personally

also... made some big brush-porn evil torch-thingy
love big evil braziers like that


the player will teleport in on the top-left platform.
the other 3 platforms are slowly hovering up and down

[golden_boy]

Nice. Will it have combat?

[talisa]

thanx GB

and yeah it seems like a perfect place for combat, not?

perhaps when you make your way down hellknights will teleport onto the bottom platform

.

PS radiant was being a serious PITA when i was making that brazier.
was hell trying to get radiant to cooperate and be able to get the brushes shaped how i wanted

[golden_boy]

Yeah, vertex editing in Radiant is not that intuitive.

Unfortunately in plain Quake you can't use meshes for that stuff.

Next time we could use q3bsp and then we could use meshes. If there is a next time.

I didn't officially sign up for this because I really didn't think I would have time to map because it takes me so long. I am not very experienced at all and as Adam can probably attest I probably shouldn't be making maps! But I was inspired by the things I've seen here and this kind of connected floating "Towers" and got an idea and banged out something on TrenchBoom. Far from finished but this archiecture is hopefully going to replicate the Ebon Fortress while putting my own spin on it. Also made a tall winding staircase. I thought this would be a nice connector point for various other sections of the map. Dunno it it will work that way tho. But in any event I thought I'd atleast post a few work in progress and get some opinions. Thanks.

[Mindf!3ldzX]

fuckin awesome to see something!

[golden_boy]

That is pretty cool.
