Seriously. You could make a killer freestyle defrag map out of something like this. :P *HINTTT

"odium obviously knows little about patch optiimization".

Yeah, shame I work on next gen mapping engines that make Q3 and its patches look like preschool stuff, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

Stop seeing everything as slander you muppet. The reason its obviously not playable is, well, obvious. Theres no gameflow, no doors, no platforms, nowhere to walk, nothing to do etc... Its a tech map, not a playable one. Also for somebody so big headed about his simple patches you don't half suck at texturing and aligning them lol.

You really do need to relax bro.

A defrag map is a map that can be played in the DeFrag mod. As the name suggests, there is no fragging. Instead, the gameplay is split up into 3 factions: Freestyle, Runs, and fast caps.

Freestyle is where a player uses weapons to perform tricks in one of the many freestyle maps available today. These players take advantage of "overbounces", jump pads, slants, etc. to do some crazy stuff.

Some examples of freestyling:

Map: cos1_beta7b
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSY8l93FGAU&fmt=22

Map: 17++
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Z0lHmJu9pk&fmt=22

One of me on egypt-fs:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4l1hIm8PeA&fmt=22

Runs time a player as he or she makes his or her way through the map, start to finish. These maps in simplest form could be considered obstacle courses, and the players try to complete it as quickly as possible.

Examples of runs:

Map: dfwc2010-2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=916p6Y3GMR4&fmt=22

Video: Trixo - by Oliskillz - Dfwc2008 Highlights
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SK7X4aM6GFA&fmt=22

Fast caps are, as the name implies, fast captures. A player is timed as he or she captures the flag from one base to another in any ctf map.

Example of Fast Caps:

Map: q3wcp5
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYtPo62pqVY&fmt=22

Anyway, if you want anymore information, feel free to contact me by pm or msn at: qlanthem@live.com.

I did it on the fly. ^^ I simply felt a more lengthy description of the mod was necessary considering skin asked what a defrag map was.

Not too sure about the "cage"? I tried to make wires holding the crate up but it will require a fair amount of time to get right.

Skin...maybe you haven't got to it yet, but for texturing heavily edited patches these days I tend to .ase stuff and re-texture in blender...or tbh, just make complex stuff as models in the first place as it's quicker in the long run :) Nice curves though.
Kaz is this part of the same level or something new? I have really liked the last couple of shots you have posted.

been searching through the hotkeys for the insert/add row column as well as the redisperse intermediate rows,, cant find them..

redisperse intermediate columns and redisperse rows are there,,, anyone know how to make hotkeys for the other ones? the main thing that makes patch editing slow is the lack of these hotkeys.


and after testing.. afaik.. the two hotkeys that are there.. dont work

some bones..
a leprechaun!

ya know, if youre interested.. i can do a bit of rock work for the map.. i have a unique terrain hand.. anyone who saw the pondlife file before i lost it will attest. Apart from the patch work above.. a few hours in your map would be fun.

Caves don't usually have such a wide area with a low ceiling like that. What is there to support the weight of the rock like that? See if you can create some extra height to the ceiling, maybe even open it up to the sky in some parts. Pool of water with a little run-off. Fissure in the floor leading to a bottomless abyss.

Check out the National Geographic for some cave photos.

Recently I started a 9day mapping competition for Urban Terror, These will be regular competitions where entrants have 9days (1 week/2 weekends) to create a scene specifically directed at detail.
theres no brush/model limit, the only limit is /r_speeds must be under around 45k

heres a picture of my finished entry :]


The scene theme for this one was Alleyways

Interlopers.com has a similar thing with the source engine. I like the fence texture. The sky is kinda boring though.

omg a lurker posting!

@^ghost, I agree with Obsidian here. I would add rubble, boulders around the base of the cave walls. Looks like a gang of cleaners have been in and swept the floor clean.

I was working on rrctf4 and was having a little trouble deciding how I want to alter a few things so I went in and started looking at some old map files on my hdd and the following screenshots are what I was looking at in the editor for a little help. Also, these shots are from rrctf3 of which I forgot all about until just this morning. Maybe I might try to finish this one before I continue with rrctf4.

Any-who...These are from the central area, of which (atm) is the only part of the map I have worked on.

The Buda Reformed Church
Image

I always try to take a ton of pictures of places I visit and this is one church I have loved since the first time I saw it 2 years ago. A beautiful church with an unusual floor plan crowned with vibrant coloured tiles and various architectural symmetry lines. I have been wanting to create a photo album for this church for some time, but only recently got all the background information I needed. I know this is a screenshot thread but I assumed someone might be interested in the images for inspiration or reference.

The tower looks very different to the rest of the church - regarding the brick work.. It somehow doesn't fit in the "layout" of the church since churches mostly are a place of symmetry. When I saw the pic first I wondered what could have happened to it but then I saw the floor plan and figured it was intended to be like that. Now I am just confused :toothy: Have parts of the church been destroyed back in the past?
I like your galleries sock - I'm visiting them regularely :)

the dark brick is dirty, the light has been pressure washed*(though the clean and the dirty/west/east, fitz the paradigm... beautiful place, where on earth did you magic up those architectural drawings? The side drawing of the arches within from without, talented sketcher/archi-tech'd

hey soc, i'd like to take you to see a skybox active in wizard101 to chat about the construction of it, if you're interested (it'l involve a dl of the client, and hush hush, my pw.... anywho not pimping a game, genuinely interested in the map stuff and potential of performing some of the same effects in q3(wizard101 itself has much more potential than theyve developed or determined actually)


the skybox has a dragon in its outer hull, towering above on a mountain
then there are maybe seven layers of clouding moving in both directions some of which are tiered vertically and func rotating (akin}fog from leafland, filling vertical down, fading into vertical up/tiered..

purpose:inclusion of same sort of skybox effects into my comp entry

anywhere, thanks and thank thanks

That's pretty. I do play UrT sometimes, so maybe I'll play it someday :)

That screenshot is taken with the client with per pixel shaders support, right?

I like the pic sock, really does help with some ideas :toothy: .
Looking at the outside of that church gives me some ideas on how I could implement some of that in way of trim in the map I just posted about with the screenies up a couple posts.

@cityy, brickwork is different because of an unfinished maintenance work. The reason I liked the church so much is because it does not look or feel like a traditional church layout. The central dome and some of the furniture was damaged during ww2, but otherwise the building survived intact. I have a couple more galleries, so hopefully a couple more updates soonly :)

@skinNCNmaster, the talented sketcher/archi-tech'd is Samu Pecz. Page 3 deals with the early/final drawings he did for the church layout. I am planning to move country (UK->Canada) this week so my time is short and I cannot help you with wizard101 at the moment.

@roughrider, lets see some screenshot updated! :)

@Delirium, have you thought about putting your most recent/best work to the top of your maps page? maybe a small write up on how you made the map, design ideas, sketches etc. It is always interesting to see/hear the process, like early stuff, progress shots.

You need to learn about hockey, wear a denim jacket over plaid shirt (Canadian tuxedo) and be able to say things like, "aboot" and "eh?"
