A big q3w map... the forum homepage would be the floor texture. Then you can buldge out/cave several details like the lines, the mini reply box etc. And add 3d letters for the forum names, like a maze. Is there a way to automake nice letters in radiant with a script?

A safari map with lots of rhinos and a trading post

Dagnabbit. I was going to say:

Make something that can be used for any mod... and feels good with the 1.3 movement speed. Some of the smaller community maps (Phrantic) feel a bit small, now.

I would be glad to see either of the q3wca maps remade.Those were great maps for ca in q3 :icon14: and i think they would be alot of fun with q4's newfound speed with the 1.3 release.I had many hours of fun on those maps in q3 ,thanks axbaby.

woot!

i may have troubles getting the mod to work but i will figure it out.

Post by **xchaser** » Thu Aug 17, 2006 7:20 pm

you can test the map in q4max 0.76 or GT-R 0.17A mods with CA mode. drop the map in the baseq4.

Post by **axbaby** » Thu Aug 17, 2006 9:24 pm

alrighty .. i need to finish making it then i'll get it working with mods.

it's going fairly well , i like what i see and it looks like it could be a lot of fun.
it's going to take some time to complete but
it's going to get done this week or next.

Those pics look great, it seems you are making bigger maps/ perspective? If so KUDOS! They are needed with the 1.3 release. I hate the cramped q4 maps.

Post by **dzjepp** » Fri Aug 18, 2006 9:58 pm

Well it's a ca map, that gametype dosen't work very well with cramped maps.

BIG MAP!

Post by **axbaby** » Tue Aug 22, 2006 10:28 am

a few more screenies .. lighting q4 maps is a bitch

it's a big map .. i'm 1/3 done in size .. lot's of room "maybe too much"
watching out for fps issues but my comp is old so i think you'll all have no troubles with FPS.
i hope you'll have fun and play the map when done.

my graphics card has issues with q4 hence the red sparklies.
um .. bedtime .. i'm going full blast 12 hours a day on this till it's done to my satisfaction.

i don't have nor use irc but i'll keep you guys informed when i have a beta

my time is running out before my big adventure

SCREAMIES

Post by **PieceMaker** » Tue Aug 22, 2006 3:18 pm

Definately coming along great axbaby!

Looks like I'll need to update Q4 and play some online when this done.

You take it easy on yourself axbaby. Headaches and dizzyness = no good.

Good to see you mapping!

*waves* I'm off to work.
