You think you level editing boys can come in here to GD and hang with the big dogs?

are you sitting on a dick in the first vid ?

His bark is worse than his than his bite

I was going to say welcome to Q3W Castle but will say welcome to the world of GD

Level Editing & Modeling people are are breed in themselves an your EP1 supports that.
I believe it shows promise Congrats to a job well done.

Seeing and jumping through the video makes me want to get back into TF2

What editor did you use for Hexen?

I liked your vids (1 and 2. Didn't get to watch 3 yet). I don't have much experience with Hammer.
Its been 4 or 5 years since the last time I messed with it. Call me weird but I like GtkRadiant 1.5,
even with its bugs. If I understand correctly a person can build maps with radiant (no entities or
textures) and port them over to Hammer and finish it there.

No id Tech 5? Seems more useful than speculating about id Tech 6, which hasn't even been announced yet.

Oh also, QOOLE is another Q1/Q2 level editor. It was kinda shitty but had some interesting features nonetheless.

QuArK was the one that let you group brushes, I really liked it back then before GTKradiant. Differing from Qoole is actually let you properly rotate brushwork, Qoole tended to crash. Actually registered QuArK and Qoole .

Worldcraft became Hammer, and I really hated Worldcraft... again back then in the Quake II mapping times.

QOOLE was a bit funny in that it saved maps in its own file format, with coordinates as float numbers. When converting to .map format at compile time, these coordinates were converted to ints, which could lead to leaks due to rounding errors. Occurred with rotating geometry and such.

After having watched the other TF2 videos, I felt the map was pretty much there, even in texture. That you actually went in an completely redid textures and most of the models, was somewhat of a shock. Funny to see the yellow "caulk" textures TF2 uses.

I felt that a few areas in the corridors could use a bit more detail, e.g. the floors just had one texture and looked flat, maybe adding some more "patching up" (like repaired areas) might look nice. Some other areas, IIRC, the bases could use slightly more models, and the central area between the trucks looked empty in comparison as well.

I have to admit the mirroring of the map is a real nightmare in TF2, without a mirror tool or add-on, that would really drive me nuts.

The mesh manipulation, watching you do that, was really interesting. And that you can apparently paint blending is also quite nifty.

Anyway good job.

Hmmm... going back to *really* old engines, i.e. Wolfenstein, I am not quite sure how instructive that actually is. Personally, I'd probably only go back to about Duke Nuk'em 3D, since that was the last and most modern of 2.5D engine back then. Never built anything for Wolfenstein (did not even play it), so it would still be interesting though.
