here we go,

lets start maps for e+, I mean real ones.
so lets make conventions and then maps ideas first before starting them :

I propose that :
------------------------------------------------------------
1. excessiveplus map names should starts with xpXP where:

X : the gametype the map will be designed for

- vs : small 1vs1 maps - ffa : medium maps
- mffa : massive ffa maps ( fragfest maps )
- tdm : camping designed maps but with many spawnpoints (so respawn should be possible there) .
- freeze : big maps to fit more than 16 players with enough spawn points
- ctf : BFG, nades and rocket moves calculated for CTF/RTF.

[code:1]so examples :
- xpvs1 : 2nd 1vs1 map of excessiveplus mappack
- xpfreeze3 : 4th freeze map of excessiveplus mappack.[/code:1]
------------------------------------------------------------
2. we have to make some textures and shaders that would be common for all e+ maps.
Feel free to give yours ideas.
------------------------------------------------------------
3. We had better start with simple maps forms like last oldvamp's map.
so a squarre, a rectangle, a triangle, a cone, a cylindre, a sphere and all that.. then we try arranging that mixing up that basical objects.
lets think what would be nice to have :roll:

we have all to know something important : 32x32 representants about
1meter². cos a player model has 32x32x56 so in general 1m75 height
------------------------------------------------------------
4. To start making those maps, lets collect some mappers that would help us.
------------------------------------------------------------
5. Each one would have a map affected if he likes and in a specific gametype.

so I already add oldvamp and myself to the team :
casa maybe :roll: , in fact you are architect and has already done a map

who else ?

Wow! Guys you bring back the spirit for me to make q3 maps!

I have just one question: Is any possible way to "import" lightwave modeller (*.lwo) files into Radiant (or other map editing tool)?

yes I have found that tool to export as md3 from lightWave, but I haven't tested it
http://www.troggpond.com/lwtools/utils/lwotomd3.html
there is also a plugin on the same website

I'm impatient :twisted::twisted:
