Quake3World

Below you'll find my attempt at a speedmap. The geometry was done in exactly one hour and 8 minutes. But I needed some extra time because the map was too dark. I didn't count the time I needed to zip everything up due to some compiler issues. For some odd reason I can't compile an .aas file. Oh well, TW saved the day. Anyway let's keep it at one hour and thirty minutes.

With this, I also fulfilled a promise long overdue, to dONKEY and Stjartmunnen, of me making a speedmap. Anyway, you can download it here. Not to forget, a screenie below:

Fun little speedmap. It's amazing what you can do in a short period if you put your mind to it. I was never able to manage the one hour thing, although I have a number of "quickie" maps that were made in one sitting.

On this one, I think I may have gone with YA instead of RA, and maybe thrown something in the water (health?) just for a audio cue, but still, good job.

Damn, that's impressive for 1 hour. Impressive and inspiring. I like how it feels, the verticality combined with the cold colours is great. Good job!

Thanks guys!

I'm getting some positive feedback on this. Maybe I should add some weaponmarkers, try PJW his suggestion and optimise it a bit. Think it could make a fun 1v1?

I'm positive you could. If you can do this in 1 hour, image what you can do in 2... or even 3. :icon25:

A bit small though. Would have to add rooms and then the whole concept of speedmapping is lost.

Yeah, that is true. I think it could be great if you worked more on it making it bigger, but of course maybe you'd rather start a new map.

I've got a near finished alpha lying on the shelve, gathering dust. Created for a project that will take me forever. Maybe I'll use that to make a fullblown map featuring this set. Besides, by the time the project is finished, no one will remember the map I make now :icon25:

Placing health in water for sound-cues sounds sorta redundant doesn't it?

Looks good infyboi!

I guess pjw talked about placing health in the water to attract players to jump in. When there's nothing in the water a player won't enter it, hence no sound cue.
Got it, Fjoggy?

The map's small enough to hear the PG being picked up anyway, got it Toddy?

It's not about the size it's about the movement! Oh shit, sorry, wrong saying. Not that it has anything to do with me
