Kiddie_Fresh is creating some new pre-fabs for Quake 2. He showed me what he's working on and it's incredible! I've never seen anything like it. I don't want to give away what it is, but it is one of the best things I've seen in Q2. He and I have a little plan, I'll tell you more later! This is gonna be cool !

Screen shots will be surfacing as soon as the lighting program completes it's task. It's taking awhile, cuz there's lots of open rooms and 'clear' textures.
...anyway...stay tuned for a couple cool photos.

Allright! all you get is 2 for now... Looks cool, huh? It's a minisub! To get to a cool item (or weapon), you will need to climb inside this baby! However, you need to work some controls prior to boarding. The control room is only accessible via the following... Instead of merely throwing a teleporter in the map, I made this whole map for the teleporter! Although it sparkles like a normal teleporter, you will not be able to use it until you press a nearby button. Wait until you see this thing power up and function! Of course, to use it, you will somehow have to get into the room and then through a forcefield. This is the room that is the most complete of the whole map. (95%) -KF

Alright!! This has been one fun room so far. I still have a little left to do inside, but it is fleshed out alot more now. If you are wondering...the big machine is a grenade vending machine. (my secret project) It can despense up to 4 grenade icons without respawning! (one at a time, at the push of a button) Well...I'll be working on another room tomorrow... ;D

I am so sorry to report this, but here at my workplace, they have forbidden us to load games (or 3rd party un-approved software). Our hard drives were wiped a couple weeks ago. (My map is backed up though.) At any rate, I doubt that I will be able to finish my map as intended. If anyone is interested, I can release what I have so far. Not so much for the map, but for the items within. The vend-a-nade (grenade vending machine) and the teleporter are really cool. There's also the minisub (which could use some small tweaking.). Maric, if you are out there, I was hoping that the vend-a-nade and teleporter would spark your mapping interests again. If not for the Quake community, then perhaps another game-engine. I will be posting my incompleted map by this weekend, along with my punch list. (with source file) Map makers are free to use any of my creations, as long as I am given credit. (If you become a famous map maker, you will have to hire me as well.) In the future, I intend to load my map editor onto a small flash drive. I may be able to get away with mapping for a bit longer like this, before Big Brother figures out what I am doing. Instead of trying to make a complete map, I will only focus on a single room or device. Fellow Quake mappers can use my creations or rooms anyway they like, or just be inspired. I still have a bunch of ideas, so if I cannot complete them, I will pass them on to others. ...7 days past the expiration date, but still, -Kiddie Fresh!

I will not be able to complete this as a full map. However, if anyone out there would like to check this out, then reply to this thread (with email address) and I will send this to you!
The teleporter is very nice and the Vend-a-nade is fun. There's a minisub in here which can hold a person. (hatch was sealed tho)
Anyway, this unfinished map may give you some inspiration for new ideas.

Me too Wixen. It was coming along nicely too. Perhaps more like a single player map than a DM map.
There're some good ideas in there. I can email you the map, if you like.
