Group map effort thingie

How does I find the dementions of a room?

[Mikemc]

The center of the grid is 0, 0, 0. Now move your mouse until it's coordinates are at 512, 512 (x, y). Now keep your room between those 2 areas and same with the Z axis .

Almost 2 months since the last submission and there is only about 5. I would like at least 10 before compile, and moreso other people's than mine.

Where'd mine go

I don't see it listed anywhere.
It had a few bugs, but I'm no mapper, atleast I tried my best

[Mikemc]

I have Mek, OmnificienT and Steeveeo in my folder. I think it was Maric that sent me a pre-release sample and another's was way too large. Perhaps send it again?

HUZZAH! I have found the submissions from my previous attempt at this! . Their .map files were in the tmpQuark folder in my old Quake2 directory! These files are: Cryo (corrupt, fixing), Gore, Gothic and Palace. Screenshots to come...

Mine was a tiny bit too large, it was a secret area type thing with a broken floor (func_explosives).

I don't have it anymore dude, I deleted it a long time ago after I sent it to you.

[Mikemc]

I believe I got it shortly thereafter in the e-mail form and have a good idea on combining it with 2 other maps.

Question for all:
As for the style of gameplay - What kind of game would everyone like? Frantic shooting, casual walkabout or "Big Money! Big Prizes!" ?

New screenshots are up on the new display page - 12 maps to date!

- A few need tidying up
- A couple need rebuilding
- Some of you have yet to submit your entries!

ATTN: ROUND PIPES

A few maps I have collected have pipe connection points so for those who haven't submitted yet, or if you'd like to submit another map...
Pipe diameter for connection points should be roughly 96x96. Don't worry about the amount of detail in the circle shape as extra pieces will be added if needed.

[Paril]

Are we allowed more than one entry?

I have another idea...

[Mikemc]

Oh yaaa... Each room must be separated by a doorway or blast hole though, so you don't submit a whole map cut into crispy squares

Hey Mike. I must have missed this, don't know how... I like the idea very much. Since a 512x512 is very small, pretty much anyone could participate. I would be willing to build a room or two. How are the maps played? Maybe if there are multiple maps released from one author, maybe it's the authors responsibility to make the rooms connect properly?

Are enemies put in afterwards or is this singleplayer adventure just eyecandy or just a long puzzle-walk? I am guessing you edit a lot when the project hit its deadline, so you deal with all the transitions between the levels?

Sorry if I have posted some unnecessary questions..

[Mikemc]

You can make the maps behave any way you want. However, if you want something in one room to trigger in another, it's best to name your triggers like "wizard_door1". I'll assemble them how I see fit and add more myself where needed .
