WIP in WIP, post your level screenshots!

PogoP: wait, is that rock in the front -- a smoking meteor? Because, um, when a meteor impacts Earth's surface, even if it's a small one, it doesn't land neatly in a grassy field. It does this:

Obviously some campers are sitting behind that rock smoking weed and thinking that the flaming rocks in the sky is god coming to purge the world of all evil.

Thats where all the smoke comes from...

Hey look, it's Black Mesa..

Haha I know about the crater thing, I just didn't write anything about it. A crater model is on my asset list.

Thanks KFS, I'll look at the meteor placement and orientation when I next open up UDK!

Still working on my egypt koth

The tf2maps.net test map system is really good.

Yes! 3Dnj, I fucking love your style!

[Skacky]

Yeah, way better than the previous iterations!

Hi, these are some WIP shots of a Quake 1 map / mod; textures by Quake Retexturing Project. The goal of the mod is to be a somewhat faithful, but modernized remake of the entire Quake 1, for example the maps have a lot of new areas and there is heaps of new gamecode and monsters etc. We've been at it with a team of crazies since 2007. The engine is a pimped-out version of the Quake engine with a much faster renderer etc.

More and bigger shots:

Due to the nature of the thing, it's mainly indoor stuff, but I'm trying to break out of that recently (really WIP):

Slightly older shots of the rest of the project:

I know this isn't Crysis, but it's still mapping :-)

Glad to see someone is still making levels for Quake 1, which is actually my favorite game.

I didn't know about this mod, guess I'll need to pay more attention next time.

[Sentura]

ahh, it's a brown castle!

Looking good gb!

Nice to see those remake textures looking a bit more faithful to their original counterparts as alot of the redone textures looked too clean and 'perfect' before. Are the chains hanging down all brushwork? They look pretty intricate. Also, the large outside area you're working on is already reminding me of Kinn's Marcher Fortress.. in a good way of course!

[_gb]

Hi cardo, I faintly remember liking a quake map of yours

Chains are .mdl, using a misc_model entity. We have pieces of chain that are 64, 96 etc. units and can be stacked seamlessly... in general, we're trying to use more mapmodels.

Textures are these:

I think most of them are done by this guy:

I also find his work really faithful, but still, the hires (or rather "hires", in this day and age) stuff will be an optional addon pack since even these textures are too plasticy for some, compared to the original 8 bit ones. Replacement content is a touchy subject in Quake 1 :-P

Marcher Fortress - we'll see It's brown because it's still in the blocking out stage, of course. The size of that area already breaks the old Q1 map size limit, too. The small dots on the bridge are knights. Going to surroud the fortress with terrain, either made from triangles or simply done in blender and imported via misc_model or something. Although our engine is *really* fast, at some point it'll break down, too.

Skacky: A Q1 mapping community is here

GB, great job, don't forget to visit func_msgboard with that news As I remember there was some limits in some BSP compilers and also Vis problems with such a big, open spaced envs. I also have some Q1 levels to finish, maybe it's time to polish them and release

EDIT:

Oh, as I can see you already posted info about this board

Glad to see I'm not the only one using old tech here Quake never looked so beautiful, the large castle bridge looks promising! Welcome to the forums!

Awesome! So glad to see there are those still working on quake (and doom).

Welcome to the forums!

Thanks!

I do have a little fetish of mapping for idtech4 engines on the side, but then the remake quake project doesn't leave much room for that. Yet.

Awesome forum you guys have going.
