@damage
seriously?! do the pics in my post above look like 'its going nowhere?'

[damage_inc]

@talisa, my apologies. I'm seriously just poking a lil' fun. I will stop now.

I guess Dutch is the next one in turn after Talisa.

It's your decision when you want to pass it on, Talisa. It's supposed to just be a fun project.

I'll give it a try as well if that helps
I do feel a bit guilty just sampling the end result without contributing but although I'm trying to improve my mapping "skills" they still leave a whole lot to be desired. Case in point...

It's when you see the work of talented people like Stalker, Xeno, Peg and in this thread Primal it kind of hits home how good they are and sadly how deficient I am. Still, I just wanted the mappers to know that the spirit was willing even though the flesh at the moment is metaphorically weak

Is that a piece that you made Monty? If so, chip it in.

Anyway, any kind of art takes a lot more than just talent. Without practice, talent means nothing. In this way, even a less talented person can become good if they practice enough.

It's a map I've been working on in the background. It's still a WIP with unexplained invisible holes in some floors and walls that I haven't put there (go figure??!!) but it's keeping me busy and I'm learning a lot. For example, yesterday I worked out how to add a secret doorway . Newbie stuff to some I'm sure but its a learning process.
When it's a bit closer to being ready I'm hoping Peg, Pol and Mindz will cast their expert eyes over it (...and try not to giggle ) before letting me know just how badly put together it is. I would chip it in but it's not quite there yet and I would be a bit embarrassed to let it loose on the world as it stands, especially with the bar being so high these days.

..and they don't get much less talented than me
I agree 100% and thank you for the supportive words. I will keep on with it and a couple of other maps I've been tinkering with to try and keep quake interesting.

To all those that are in a position to contribute please keep up the good work, the end result should be very novel.

Kind regards

Mr. Burns, that map looks phenomenal. As for your walkthrough brushes and ones that are not spawning this is often because the classname for it is not recognized. Make note of the brushes that are acting this way. This often happens by accident or when using prefabs that are using incorrect or misspelled classnames. I would check that first. Rename them to the appropriate classname. Worldspawn is the default brush classname. This is a list of those classnames and some other useful info while you search for those errors. Once you found them and corrected them if you are still having issue open up the .map file in a notepad and manually check the file for additional errors. After you've made all corrections and its still doing this, open the map with your editor and assuming you've made all corrections do a select all and paste it into a new map. Save and compile to test. Hope this helps. This has fixed similar errors for me. Good Luck and cool map! Maybe we'll see a release some day.

Thanks Primal, coming from you that means a lot. However, looks can be deceptive though

I don't want to hijack this excellent thread any more than I inadvertently have done so I'll take another look when I get in from work and see if that solves the mystery Once again, thank you

Kind regards

Dude you're light years ahead of me. I can't even build a simple box

I got the map from talisa. It will take me a little while to do my part of it because I'm about to move and start a new job. Just a heads up.
