I would have to disagree. The personal achievement of completing a map is a reward in itself. Plus, becoming familiar with a program such as Radiant may be helpful to display works on a resume if one is attempting to get a job in graphic or game design. Monetary rewards are only a drop in the bucke...

I'm registered and made my first post. Cool beans.

Sweetness.

Feeling retro. Hell yeah. Been so long since I played Q1. I think digging it out and wiping the dust off will be in order.

@fKd Nice slick style base. :D The only thing I see missing is a little steam either generated from vent's or broken pipes. Other than that keep that stuff coming. :up: @Shadow_86 Is that some old school feel your diggin for? It would be nice to see some to take a trip down memory lane. :q1: Michael...

Is that flame eye animated? If so that would be sweet ass stuff.

With 20 brush contests there's no excuses like 'I don't have time for that contest!', that's for sure. :) I'm just saying.......OUCHY It's just hard for me to imagine making a map with only 20 brushes. I can't make a simple room with that amount due to the fact of all my small detailing I do. :olo:...

Thank you very much everyone. Sorry that was my bad when I uploaded them to imageshack. I clicked the box for the small thumbnail for websites and forums. Next time I'll make sure the shots are bigger so when you click on them they will increase in size. :D @fKd Nice screenie there. You have a nat f...

Like Bartok says..... Wow I tell you what....WOW.

Holy Cow. I wish I still had my copy of TA. But needless to say I have to agree with Delirium with the fact of getting better Textures than TA (no pun to ID on that) cause TA has some cool new Textures/shaders. But all in all the ends don't justify the means. There are some things that just can't be...

Alright I feel it's time for me to post some screen shots of my seventh map. It's a remake of my second map I made around nine years ago. I remade my first map so now I'm face lifting me second. Gloom and Doom Gothic style which is my mapping forte. Never gets old for me. Ive been greatly inspired a...

Also something like this would be a great place for all those newcomers to the community. Although Q3 is up there in age, the engine itself is still remarkable and fun to map for. Along side other engines to be mapped for as well.

Just wanted to give some moral support for ya Silicone_Milk. Great job thus far from what I have read so far. Keep up the great work and It would be real nice to see a decrease in compile times for sure. Plus all other nifty things you might be adding. :D :up: :up: Keep it up. Michael ShadowZombie

Thanks a bunch Delirium for the link. Downloaded and ready to fire it up and see what the puppy can do. Kudos.

Nice video link. I am really impressed with that flame. I love how it animates.

From what you posted already your error message can be found with possible solutions as well. Just read up on it. Good luck.

Everything that Obsidian wrote is spot on. You are still very early in your process of becoming a mapper and this is all trial and error. I do feel from what I have read that you are trying to move years ahead in your techniques. Slow down a bit and take time to really read up on all the info that i...

Hey Infernis. Long time no see. How have ya been? Good to see you still kickin.

@ EtUL Your right buddy. Were not at the dinner table. My views on certain subjects are just fine. I suppose that some topics do bother me and that's normal. We are human. Just like you.

Hey Sumatra. Just had a quick little run and I noticed a couple of thing's. [1] Missing sound sound/pukka3tourney7/owl.wav [2] RA? The bots are a little confused on how to get to it. I played 4 matches and spectated a few and noticed they weren't going for it. We all know bots are stupid. :D As far ...

Yep, no offence, pun or dark humour intended. We all started with exactly zero knowledge at some point in our lives. ...And if you stick with it you'll get better. People use to do the same to me when I first started mapping. It's tough at first and very few people stick around the mapping scene af...

Hey Buddy. I didn't play test just spectated looking at the really nice brush and texture work you have going on here. The atmosphere is really thick and rich. I like the prison theme. Only thing missing is some holding cells. :D Here a few screen shots I took and some suggestions.... http://a.image...
