Tried it and it also has good playability. Very cool map, kold. MH spot is especially sweet.

Hot stuff, dude. Excellent balance of color and great texture usage. The lighting provides enough atmosphere without being too dark or varied for deathmatch play.

Want to start porting your maps to and/or creating originals for Quake2World?

[Derimok]

Thanks for the comments guys, and a thanks to the people that are hosting my map on their servers.

I've been keeping an eye on Quake2World and I do like the path its taking. I'll see if I can drop by IRC and have a chat with you guys in the weekend.

kold, I downloaded it today. Very nice map, good textures and layout. The pipes look great. I think you did an awesome job on this one.

FYI, zip is missing sound/alk14/atmos.wav

That's great to hear! I'll actually be away this coming weekend, but I'm generally available most weekdays (at least to say hello and answer questions). I'm on Eastern Daylight time (Boston).

Talk to you soon, I hope.

Thanks for the comments Leray.

As for the missing sound its baffling me a bit. As far as I know I never used the sound in the map, however it does pop up when I type "soundlist" in the console.

Do you get a missing sound error in the console?
If not then I won't worry about it ;D

Converting kolddm3

I have a funny feeling its going to be next to impossible to convert this map for Quake2World. QuArK's .map format just doesn't open in GTKRadiant. And to make matters worse when I convert the .bsp back into a .map so Radiant can read it, the brushes are all mucked up... ie anything on a angle isn't aligned to the grid.

I'll be switching over to Radiant soon anyway - due to the troubles QuArK is giving me.

[jaydolan]

Hm, well if you want to try, I've written a .map file converter in Python with which I've successfully converted several Quake3 .map files to Quake2 format. It's here:

jdolan.dyndns.org/trac/browser/quake2world/trunk/src/tools/mapfoo/mapfoo.py

It generally tries to read anything resembling .map and spits out stuff that Radiant can open in Quake2 mode.

Alternatively, if you want to post the .map file here or email it to me, I can take a stab at massaging it into a Radiant-friendly format sometime this week.

[Derimok]

Sorry, I have no idea on how to use the mapfoo.py file, does it need to be in a folder, or maybe run from the cmd prompt?

Could you please give me a quick example on how to use it.
Maybe by pm, just to keep this tread tidy. Cheers :-)

Wow Kold that's an awesome looking map! Makes me wanna get back into it...I've not used radiant for a looong time.

I gotta play through the original and expansions again to reminiss too.

I miss mapping for Quake 2...Oh well, what better time to start aye!



Well done though mate. your skills have come a long way, it looks awesome!
