Re: Maps propositions for Excessiveplus

That map's not even done, I assume you want freshly made map ideas and not remakes?

Re: Maps propositions for Excessiveplus

Ontopic:Okay, here goes:

-Must be playable with 1vs1 up to 4 players deathmatch. Not to big so it does not take more then 1 minute to meet eachoter in 1vs1. Indoors/arena would be preferrable. One big meeting room with more small connected ones on the side. Maybe 2 floors (ground and one). q3dm6 has a nice (to small) meeting hall, but the map is quite large for 1 on 1. Jul24 on the other hand might be a bit to small.
-Must have all weapons and items exept BFG
-Must be playable with both baseq3 and instagib config (or mix like my cfg)
-Not realistic looking (look at urban terror, it looks like its tried but is just not it), no old original quake 3 textures, sulptures, statues, torches, skulls, pentagrams (come on, the weapons and gameplay of quake 3 is futuristic but all the leves must have lots of gorre, blood, sulls en pentagrams on the walls, someone got issues or what???)... I would pefer just something surrealistic from the future made in balance with gameplay and style. Get some ideas from my previous stated "artsy" maplist. Althoug focal_136 and cht2 dont offer the best gamplay, the feel like they tried to find such a balance.

That is something me and my lanparty friends would appreciate.

-Offtopic
I agree with Impulse. Still there should be a balance between artsy and functional. I have played manny custom maps. Most of them I think of as a first creation, just trying something, but it is neigther new, mindblowing creative, nor has it good gameplay. Some of them are mindblowing, like Estatica and mxl_school, but have crappy gameplay or are for major lanparty's. Some of them have great gameplay, but we already know them for exemple from quake 3 itself like q3dm17.Althoug I must say, overkill looks like an weird empty castle with a reuse of textures we already have seen for over 11 years (well thats how long I have played quake 3 and it starts to get boring at some point).I think it would take a very skillfull team, of both a good mapper, architect, artist, gamer and musician to make a GOOD map. Something that stands out. I think if you would make a really good map, just for the gametypes and try to get a lot of feedback from the community you would have a nice e+ mappack. I do know a lot of you like to play freezetag and team deathmatch, some playing CTF, but im a simple guy that aims on anything that moves...

Furthermore, why take the effort to build those maps when there is a $%!%^^!load of them out there!

Also I still dont understand why everybody still uses the friggin 11 years old original quake 3 1.32 when there is ioquake3. It has it all, except lowsy punk-buster (what ever the hell that nagging software is usefull for, if you see an aimbot on your server, just ban it, only cheaters I have seen so far) and a lower framerate.

Just try it when my server is online http://www.excessiveplus.net/spider/dreamworld-server

ok uploaded beta1, but there was beta2 or 3 somwhere http://www.speedyshare.com/files/25586159/damned_beta1_.pk3

Thanks for the link.I tested it, and although it has a lot of missing textures and the weird damage the sand gives, It surprised me and I think it has a lot of potential. Maybe a few nice sounds like the cows, something else for the corpses then the one from q3dm14; maybe make some use of the clock bell. I'm exited to find version b3 and hope it is a texturecomplete version with some moonlight... I think it looks great and might have some good gameplay to with the house and the open field around, very original.

Re: Maps propositions for Excessiveplus

Hi this is an idea i have not yet started however a map which includes a very large vertical room  with many offshoots almost like if you took out the inside of a skyscraper and on;ly left a few corridors. i say this because most of the E+ maps only use the horizontal playing fields to fly along and shoot, why not try flying up as well ^^ i have yet to expirence that kindo game play here yet it is possible due to the flying climbing weapons.

I will try drawing something Big grin and get some references.

Edit and if i get time one day i will make a map called "matt land" based on his design unless someone else does it Tongue

Can it be gothic/medieval or does it have to be futuristic space maps? Just that I hate them.

here is one example

excuse me for my bad painting xD

I made a template for yr map http://www.speedyshare.com/files/25595245/mario.pk3. Download and type ''/map mario'' in console to play this map. PS its just a template, theres no doors, lights, nothing. only single texture.

Now tell yr remarks here. (Texture style, what do u like/dont, room bigger/smaller etc)
