Type of Map: Hope to make a nice Duel map, but since I'm noob in mapping it will probably be a really bad one :/.

Peace

You sir are entrant #1.

You didn't post a website, but if you have one just let me know.

Edit: I changed the topic of your post a little bit to put your name on it. When you have a map name feel free to update it again.

So I have worked a bit on a layout and that's what came out of ~6 hours of drawing and Photoshop:




What do you think of it (aside that I'm wasting too much time on drawing a nice layout)?

Peace

I'm off now, gotta sleep like a hour untill I have to leave for school...

Much better already!

I still don't like the path from the GL to the PG. It feels weird to move in because of all the corners. Also I think you can scale down the RA room a little more - there is lots of unused space there right now. Besides that I felt like the JP in the MH room wasn't such an appealing route to take compared to the TP. The 180 degrees turn there feels slow and strange.

Looking forward to the next version

Changes again! Layout gets better and better every time, and this time I changed some weapon/ammo/spawnstuff. Need your suggestions again guys!

pdm1_alpha3.pk3

When I loaded up the map it had no textures. All grey and with grid.

What type of Quake 3 Install do you have? I used stock textures only, so if you have Q3+CPMA+CPM-Mappack you should have textures ingame.

Hi

I think that You should use only base Q3 version textures if you don't add them in to the map package.
If some one lunch Your map on base Q3 instalation (without CPM, CPMA) will be dissapointed.
You can add other textures to map package but i don't know what copyright tells about it.

Its only evil and liquid textures and I think they are all in normal Q3A install.

What ever textures you are using are not included in Q3A. I use a clean install of Q3A on a different drive from my GtkRadiant Directory for testing maps in.It has no custom textures
in its directory, so any map that I play from that install that comes up with missing textures
do not have them in its .pk3 .You must put the textures in to have a complete map along
with any other custom content you may use.

Here is 2 screenshots. As you can see the liquids are working fine.

Ok, I will try to fix that as soon as I have time, unfortunately I'm quite bussy at the moment...

Word of the Week:

So, I a little update on my map. I had no time to work on it during the last 3 weeks, however I'm still determined to finish it and I will try to work as much as possible during the next 3 weeks and finish the gfx-stuff. However I will be in Russia during this time and won't be able to post much updates or the secred words that often, sorry for that .
