I'd like to hear your thoughts about this 1v1 deathmatch level: http://www.mediafire.com/download/bcup3wftsocj0op/dm_cepheus_qw.zip The textures are mine, except for the stock Quake teleport. The skybox is derived from a .:lvl:. Q3A skybox. The sky texture (for those who don't like skyboxes) is derived from a picture I found at http://thefulldomeblog.com/ All credits will be in the final version. There's still no bot data, since it's so complicated to set up. It doesn't have a proper readme as well. Gonna do it while I get you feedback. The map still need a name. I'm open to suggestions. One of its goals is to make content for a future single player episode, so it's intended to look good and atmospheric, not to give high FPS. Think I pushed the limits a little. To do: music (it's being made by a friend). So, what else this package should have? Just let me know your impressions. EDIT: a video: https://youtu.be/UB8HxFaBXpI EDIT: as requested, here are some screenshots: EDIT2: a better link (Edited 2015-09-01, 03:50)

Wow! So much attention... I'm flattered.
Seriously, if anyone is interested, this is probably the final version, though I still intend to get your feedback:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/bcup3wftsocj0op/dm_cepheus_qw.zip
As promised, there is original music, there is a readme... I'd love to get bot support, if someone could help.
When I started to design the level, I was new to the communities. Only now I'm getting what kind of level QuakeWorld players are used to, what is important to them. So, this level is not the typical DM you are used to play. It's very moody, there is fog, music... Geometry is not so naked, it doesn't aim performance so much. On the other hand, it's a 1v1, so modern systems shouldn't choke on it.
But I'd love to see what you guys have to say. Any chance of getting it to some of your servers?
Cheers

Map looks nice visually (both in GL ans SW modes).
I have not played on it with anyone thus cannot say anything about gameplay.
When posting message about new map it is better to provide some screenshots to make people interested trying it in game.

You're right, I should post screenshots. Also, I gotta see it on software render, my Winquake is broken. Gotta ask someone to host the level and add bot support, so people can actually play it. Thanks

Sorry guys, "dmamb" was an early name. Here is what I think is the final version:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/bcup3wftsocj0op/dm_cepheus_qw.zip
Mushi, if you could upload this one and delete the other, it would be great. Thank you.
I'm still new to the community and new to Quakeworld. This level is moody and atmospheric like a single player, but it's deathmatch. When I planned it, I still wasn't getting what nQuake is about. Let's see how it plays on your servers.
When I get home today I'll try to play QW for the first time on my own level. How cooler can it get?
Cheers.

Just connected to the server. Yes, it's an older version, where gameplay was still poor. There are two routes to the top level, making it way more interesting. Also, I don't see the colored lights. Did you uploaded the .lit file along with .bsp? @Mushi, please, replace it by these two files when you can: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3Ww0W8WFfq7Qm9mUzNQREFDOXc Thanks, man. @se-sss about that duel... anytime

Unfortunately it is lack of qw servers (or clients). It does not download lit files. You have to put it yourself Also for several last years servers do not send players` skins. I do not know what is broken. @se-sss about that duel... anytime Are you available on irc? (I am _sss_ #qw.ru)

@andre Thanks! So, what's the address? Wanna play! If you like the level, spread the word among other server admins. @se-sss Gee, I'm an ignorant. Never used irc in my life, can you believe that? There is a chat link at the bottom of the page, gonna try it out. I fixed all the links is this topic, so there's no chance of getting an old version. You live, you learn.

Very cool map Tried to make some Frogbot waypoints for it. 1: Frogbots don't handle lifts very wellCould be solved by making them go faster og make it impossible to enter the lift when it's up, because they get stucked under them Could maybe be solved with some noclip brushes blocking the entrance when the lift is up (just an idea ) 2: Frogbot doesn't allow minus "-" in the mapnameI have renamed it to dm_cepheusFBCA_dm_cepheus.zipProjectQ1Q3, Frogbot Waypoint and Map Conversion Tutorial @ http://mickkn.mooo.com

Another thought, how did you make those lifts? They are invisible when I use my gaming config in ezQuake2.2 for Mac. ProjectQ1Q3, Frogbot Waypoint and Map Conversion Tutorial @ http://mickkn.mooo.com

@mushi Thanks! Gonna try it. Sorry to keep bugging you  @Mick Yay, I wanted waypoints! About the elevators, take a look at one of them: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y80/amurad/Games/elev_zpsoqhicvmz.jpg The elevator is highlighted. The image also shows where the first and second floor doorways are, just as a reference to where the elevator starts / stops. You can also see two triggers. The elevator is a func_door that opens upwards by any of these two triggers. If you're at the second floor, you stand in the doorway to call the elevator, you get inside and when the door entity closes, it takes you down. When you're at the first floor, you step inside and the trigger opens the func_door, lifting you up. The first floor trigger has a 0.5s delay. Why? Because when you get down you hit the first floor trigger; without this delay, you wouldn't have time to exit the elevator. It's not bad gameplay-wise: this little delay is the behaviour of a real elevator and builds some tension (a lot of tension when there are rockets on your tail). The noise of these two elevators, busy during the fight, makes the level feel like a real building. Why didn't I just make it a func_plat, instead of all this trouble? Because I don't activate a plat getting "inside" it, just from the top of it. I would need to stand on the tip of the elevator's cable. But writing this post made me think: I need just the lower trigger, with no delay. If you want to get down you don't call the damn elevator anyway, you just jump thru the many other ways down. If you jump down the elevator's pit it lifts again, but hey, no one told you to do that. I can even make a door at the second floor, that only opens from inside. You see, that's what community is about! Running to Worldcraft right now. And yes, that clip brush is easy to do. Gonna send another download link soon.

@Mick Yes, it's way better now. The elevator is now one way up, no delay before triggering. Thank you for this feedback. The download link is the same: http://www.mediafire.com/download/bcup3wftsocj0op/dm_cepheus_qw.zip EDIT: forgot to rename the level  (Edited 2015-09-01, 03:52)

@mushi I connected to 204.44.119.88:28501, entered dm-cepheus on the console and nothing happens.
Too bad quakeworld doesn't download the .lit file. The level looks way better in colored lights.

Great! Gonna learn how to use it. There must be a way to read an entity class from .map, say an info_fbca_waypoint, to generate this .qc That way, the level designer could set waypoints and generating FBCA data would be part of the map compilation. This is how it should be done for new levels or ones you have the .map

Hi adib, nice work with the map! You should definitely release your work at QuakeOne and Func_Msgboard. Func_Msgboard is THE place for Quake's map designers! And there's also the Inside QC (former Inside 3D), where you can find some help with code needed for your maps! https://tinyurl.com/qwbrasil - QuakeFiles

And there's also the Inside QC (former Inside 3D), where you can find some help with code needed for your maps! Thanks man. Already did, actually. Func_Msgboard guys helped me testing gameplay and clearing some points. I used Fitzquake MarkV features and Ericw light compiler. Take a look at the readme file in the zip. But both forums are more single player, so they all asked me to do some SP, which I actually intend to do. Feel free to upload the level to a server, if you have one. My website is on its way, just have to find some time (daytime job, you know). By the way, I was looking for the missing Inside3D and wondering where QuakeBrasil was hiding. Thanks for that.
