Hey y'all! I've wanted to make my own thread on this forum for ages, but I've never made a map that's worth posting about, until recently. Not that recent, for several reasons, but here we are. For over a decade, it's been a dream of mine to play other games but with quake 3's physics - strafe jumpi...

I'd like to try collaborating, but I'm not much of a project manager. I won't be getting anything off the ground. With guidance, and constraints, I'm happy to build something interesting. I started playing with a sort of remix of a bunch of baseq3 maps for a personal thing, so I think I can doppelga...

Hey Kitten, good to see you're still around. Just lurking about or also still mapping? forums are old, hat jack. i'm on discord, still in radiant and defrag damn near every day. i feel dirty posting screenshots here because so much of my work blurs the line between copying work and making my own, a...

If you're after single player, you could map for entityplus, or defrag aka the best game ever!

Edit: I thought you were aeon haha. I don't need to suggest defrag to you

That map was pretty popular for a time, I remember it being my first acc map. I never liked acc, but it's the most basic one ever made probably, and an introduction to that style.

Yeah I noticed. It's a really cool map. It was a regular map until I got to the sewer area, then those enemies put a real grin on my face. That brought it to another level. It took a few attempts for me to figure out how to beat the boss though, which again is really cool. Now I just need to find th...

I still just jumped over to the ladder from the upper level, after finding out that the straight jump is clipped off :/

Two minutes in, I got stuck in the door because I was hugging it and a bomb spawned on me, and then I skipped the power cube thing because the broken ladder still has ladder clip so I can climb up it - strange choice imo to put that there. Then I accidentally map_restarted and had to go to work. Awe...

Often multiple items are put in the same spot and then flagged for different gametypes, but wolfcam doesn't care about these because it's only for playing back demos. The reason I asked you to test if hmg works on other maps is because it's possible there simply is no spawn function for it, since wo...

What did you put on your map for hmg?

Did you try playing other maps with hmg pickups in wolfcam, offline?

What entity are you using? I'm not sure how wolfcam treats these entities in offline play, does the weapon work on existing maps?

Alright yeah, all my testing is done in Defrag, and I often forget just how much it changes. Movers can be lava or acid, and they work as you would think. Baseq3 seems to not, sadly

One thing to note, though, is that Q3's collision relies heavily on straight surfaces and 90 degree angles. You can detail to your heart's content, but it all has to be nonsolid, otherwise it'll mess with your movement (and fps, if you go really complex). Also, if you work off-axis, so that your wal...

You can't move a trigger_hurt, for the obvious reason that it's already an entity. However, you can move a lava or slime shader, and those are the only shaders that can cause damage. They also cause damage in a specific way that cannot be modified (simply): if you are completely submerged, you take ...

I'd rip it and tell you how it works, but you can't play custom games without paying for something

It is possible from 3ds Max, I don't know what those Blender links I gave even mean though.

Using models, sure. But if there was a way to export models as perfect brushwork, then as long as you think with efficiency in mind, there's nothing wrong with it.

There's a 3DS Max plugin in the works to do just this, which is where all my experience is, but I found a couple things that I don't feel like reading through for blender: https://www.katsbits.com/tutorials/idte ... p-maps.php https://www.katsbits.com/tutorials/idte ... levels.php I don't know Blend...

It requires an alpha channel. It creates solid borders around objects though - everything below 50% opacity is removed, and everything above is treated as 100%. If that isn't good enough for you, I think what you want can't be done, unless you're okay with the lightmap being completely visible over ...

Easy with alphaFunc, not so easy with blendFunc, for reasons unknown to me. I've done it plenty of times with alphaFunc, like so: textures/whatever { { map textures/whatever.tga alphaFunc GE128 depthWrite } { map $lightmap blendfunc filter rgbGen identity tcGen lightmap depthFunc equal } } Pretty su...

Well if you want giant spiders, use dirt walls, or throw up cobwebs in their area. I know the map isn't finished, so it's not a big deal, just my opinion.

I only just noticed that they're firing machine guns! I see the gun poking out of their faces lol. At least mount it on top of their heads

Those spiders seem thematically inappropriate...

It's a LAZOR BEAM blowing up a wall!

I just back my entire q3 up on dropbox I've accidentally deleted massive amounts of files, and I just restore them. It's great.
