What are you working on?

[r00k]

I wondered what it would look like to see the grunt shed an outer layer and expose the zombie underneath.

What do you plan to do with the non-humanoid monster types?

At this point, i'm experimenting with a few ideas, trying to decide an attractive gameplay for a zombie mod.
Would be kinda interesting to have a second kill effect for some monsters. Even something dying but the gibs turn into little creatures that attack you...etc/

why is the gun glowing when they hit you?

The deflection shield is just something there in my own personal quake setup. (i could never hear when i was getting hit so i made the effect more visual)...


For the curious, this is all i did

Code: Select all

void() army_die =
{
   sound (self, CHAN_VOICE, "player/udeath.wav", 1, ATTN_NORM);
   ThrowGib ("progs/gib1.mdl", self.health);
   ThrowGib ("progs/gib2.mdl", self.health);
   ThrowGib ("progs/gib3.mdl", self.health);
   
   if (self.health >= -35)//R00k: If zGrunts aren't obliterated they become zombies!
   {
      setmodel (self, "progs/zombie.mdl");
      
      setsize (self, '-16 -16 -24', '16 16 40');
      self.health = 60;
      
      self.th_stand = zombie_stand1;
      self.th_walk = zombie_walk1;
      self.th_run = zombie_run1;
      self.th_pain = zombie_pain;
      self.th_die = zombie_die;
      self.th_missile = zombie_missile;
      
      walkmonster_start();
   }
   else
   {
      ThrowHead ("progs/h_guard.mdl", self.health);
   }
};

I hate the video modes menu code

[Spike]

change it to three colums?
width, height, bpp.
changing the left changes the options available on the right columns.
might help make it more friendly.

Rock Knight Sword!

i cannot believe this is q1bsp your work is awesome

[ceriux]

socks work is always awesome!

[Irritant]

Wow, that is terrific brushwork! Looks like a much more modern map format for sure.

[Seven]

socks work is always awesome!

Nothing more to add.
I fully agree.
There are not many Q1 mappers with such a talent and sense.
It is 'quamazing'

I do not understand the meaning of his words (together with the screen) though:
Rock Knight Sword!

A map I've been working lately... Took a different approach from my usual: building it from end to start. Not populated yet, lights are a WIP.




As you can see in the last image, I'm having troubles again with models not correctly lit in Darkplaces. The map is fully VIS'ed.

The curved ceilings/tunnels are amazing, especially where they intersect, yet have properly aligned textures etc. Wonderful.

[ceriux]

yeah those tunnels look nicely done. which mod is it that you start with fists? o.O

@R00k, thanks
@Nahuel, thanks, I am still trying to push the visuals of Quake
@ceriux, thanks
@Irritant, with better brushwork shapes Quake can look more modern.
@Seven, the title of the screenshot is a play on words, Rock, paper, scissors.

@frag.machine, you need to vary the floor it is too flat. Get the player moving up and down through the environment. It will also make the AI more fun to play against when they have different height to attack from. (ogre grenades etc). Also vary the width/scale of the lattice ceiling woodwork, it looks too uniform and add some angled supports (eg like doorframe). I would recommend using a proper groin vault texture (something with a trim and diagonal edges) instead of brick. Make your broken wall detail larger, don't cut small bricks, use large cuts and show more of the wall layers. Let people fill in the fine details with their imagination.

Sock, what editor do you use for Quake mapping?
