The weird texture angle on slanted faces that you can see on the beige bricks in the first shot, that can be cured in Hammer just by selecting the texture and clicking a button "to face".
Not so much as a niggle, as much as a "if you didnt know".
But seriously, the shots look really sweet man, nice work. More after I actually played it.
 Great

Looks great, really impressive architecture, "big place"...
It's nice that we still see Quake 1 maps in mid 2010, after almost 15 years since the game was launched.
I have a map of mine in work, I really hope that I will be able to release it this year...
Let's keep Quake 1 alive

 How To Record Carnage Mode:
#11 posted by necros [99.227.131.204] on 2010/08/13 18:58:16
because the map has to restart in order to change gameplay modes, you have to use negke's demo recording trick to record in carnage mode.
1. Start the map and jump to get to the settings room.
2. Select Carnage and wait for the map to restart.
3. Once the map is loaded, quicksave.
4. type 'disconnect' in the console.
5. type 'record demoname' (note i didn't specify a map to load)
6. it should say "recording" in the console. now, simply hit your quickload button.
you should be playing your quicksaved carnage mode game and recording a demo. don't forget to type 'stop' when you're done!
 Looks Awesome

spy: Nice one. Apparently it didn't pose any problems to you - you could even afford being wasteful with the medkits. I'm glad to see you did just as I intended and killed the zombies in the lower area with voreballs. Good dealing with the tarbabies, too. What's that cheater mod you were using, though - that made all powerups glow brightly? Sorry for the portcullis thing; I put a safety push there for that kind of situation, but you seem to have found a blind spot.
Btw. If you played the map on Normal, I recommend giving it another run on Hard - the end battle is kind of fun.
Also, what I meant above is, try the carnage mode on Nightmare. And what necros said.

Great job!!!

Another great map from negke. Plenty of traps and excellent use progs hacks (which negke seems to be the master of) with some really good brushwork and details, along with balanced, yet tough gameplay, and finally ending in quite an epic battle. Everything here is two thumbs up.
My only quarrel would be the lighting. In my opinion, the lighting looks a bit too bland and doesn't feel very moody. But it certainly didn't stop me from enjoying the map.
You have no reason not to play this right now.

Not that hard really. Each button lowers one half of the device; when both parts are in place, a teleporter sphere appears which you have to jump into. If you're too slow, it goes away and you have to press the buttons again.
I realize I should have made them stay indefinitely on Easy. Oh well.

Thanks. Too bad some of them don't play properly due to restarting. And even though Ankh's and Trinca's demos were protocol 15, I couldn't fix them the regular way with convdem for some reason. Maybe because you played with QDQ progs? Or I simply forgot how the trick works.
So carnage mode on skill 3 is too easy? Ok, then I propse a competition - who can beat it the fastest and/or with most kills. ;)
Glad to see people enjoyed the map.

You always make such fun stuff Neg!ke. Loved the Chthon in shackles. I got incredibly lost on my first play (demo below) but as they say, "the myth that you can make a map where Mandel doesn't get lost: busted". In fact I never found the silver key and had to grenade jump to make progress as you will see.
Solid level, and the fact that it comes with so much custom stuff without requiring a custom progs makes it a winner.
Included is also an easy 100% demo, I can't believe I found all the secrets, but I think I did.

cool map, except i found the secret above the sk and then jumped down to get the sk, thus skipping past 1/3 of the map and not realising it till i'd finished and wondered why there were so many monsters still left.
the way to kill chthon was great; finding the pentagon definitely helped there. without that i probably would have died. great level design too! it was slightly too dark on my monitor, but i just had to reinstall quake so it's probably just because I need to tweak the lighting settings again.
i got all dizzy after playing it and my eyes went funny. wtf is up with that lol

2 demos, normal:
http://www.quaketastic.com/upload/...
firstrun included, used Darkplaces (hahahahaha!) with all Quake Retexturing Project and Normalmap packs. Had all reliefmapping and such on and it looked look. I turned rtlights off for the second run, because i was going less than 30fps sometimes. Looked cool though.
What to say about this map - well, a lot of nice detailing throughout, perfect brushwork and texturing. Excellent layout and sense of scale. The corridors felt a good size, if that makes any sense. Nonlinearity is here to a nice level, exploration is good, weapons are well balanced (not too much ammo, nice range of weapons as you progress).
End was too hard and a bit confusing. If fell down to the floor below on finding the boss, and had to find my way back again, only to try hard to complete the challenge but fail ultimately. Climatic, but the gameplay at the finale was a let-down. Kinda cool though.
Overall I would say this map was pretty well awesome, personally I give it 16-17 out of 20 :P

Apparently I followed the recording instructions wrong and played through the map without recording, though I thought I was. Confusing-ish layout, got lost a couple times, never died but came pretty dang close. Couldn't figure out wtf was going on with Chthon for a while, then felt satisfied when I figured it out after the ... 3rd try. Good map, somewhat confusing.

Ricky: Heh, either DP lagged a lot with those settings or you were playing drunk (probably both), for you seemed fairly clueless and ran past half of everything. :D In Chthon's hall a teleporter appears on the lower floor after pressing the button behind him. It was clearly visible in your FOV, but you still took the long way back.. Also, I imagine the map must have looked somewhat strange with all my custom textures along the DP'ified regular ones.
Kona: Perhaps you felt dizzy because you accidentally had a cocktail of the same name instead of playing the map? :)
Omg, Vnodru!!!
Funny how everyone seems to take the GK route first while in most cases the standard order is 1:SK, 2:GK.
In this sense, I also wonder how players determine which path to take if confronted with a left-right route choice, and how this can be influenced design-wise (e.g. by putting items/monsters in one of the ways).
 Oh, And By The Way

#48 posted by stevenaaus [110.20.36.86] on 2010/08/17 22:26:55
For me it's just a case of getting bored of always SK, then GK, and the signs seemd to indicate it made no diff so i tried something different.
After the gameplay of skill 1, i expected a similar puzzle ending on skill 2, and got further confused by the sound of the laser traps. Took me ages to realise i just had to beat them up, where the quad+invulnerability helps alot of course.
But getting confused by N's maps isn't anything unusual ;>. Amazing Cthon in chains was the highlight. Final quad secret was very slick too.
#49 posted by necros [99.227.131.204] on 2010/08/17 22:28:42
just did a quick run again and went SK first.
the map plays much better that way, and it's clear that that's the prefered way. both the GK and SK door paths lead to a dead end, but only the SK path has a button at the end. when you get to the dead end of the GK path, it feels like you got lost because there's just a locked door and nowhere else to go.
 Healthboxes?
#50 posted by Baker [69.47.160.255] on 2010/08/18 00:25:19
I love the map, but I sure am struggling. I didn't check the skill level but I'm sure I'm using skill 1.
With hard, I was running out of ammo.
Actually I am running out of health and ammo with skill 1 too.
But I am glad to be playing a Negke map. Other than giving up on the Vertical Mile one and the one where you had 2 minutes to find the bathroom or die (a classic!) ... I just haven't played any Negke maps.
#51 posted by negke [88.70.78.197] on 2010/08/18 09:43:42
You have look around more carefully then, as health and ammo boxes are sometimes placed in spots where they are not immediately visible, e.g. behind a column.
There might be a slight shortage of shells for a moment on Normal when playing in a certain way - I probably should have made one of the boxes a large one. But if it's really a large problem for you, then you might want to try Easy first (if you're not too familiar with SP for instance).

I have no idea what could cause the items not to show in Fitzquake0.85. Is this on ID1 and with a close to default config?
The target3 thing is a Quoth detection. It removes the statues and Chthon models because Quoth2 messes around with the modelindex values so the it would show the wrong models.

Demo here: http://msdn.duke4.net/mappimikko.z... (recorded using FitzQuake 0.85)
Anyways, played on hard and died once, during the boss fight, which is also when the demo stops (does it have to stop every time you die?). I had no idea what to do so I must've spent two minutes trying to find some buttons, messing with the lightning shooters etc. It's only after dying that I noticed you can shoot the Chthons. (I actually tried shooting them before, as you can see from the demo, but I was too far away for the lightning gun to hit, a fact I missed while playing.)
Took me 15 minutes, and I'd say it was a tad easier than expected but still fun. Good architecture, especially the two bigger areas (the silver key and the Chthon place).
 Nice Level !

Played on hard skill without too much trouble. Couldn't beat the Cthongs though, until I found out later one would kill the other when I hid behind the wall where the LG was. Then getting the other was easy. Great to see them Hellknight posers too. They add to this swell map. Secret face button was kinda funny switching right side up.

seemed like a kind of concession... or a compromise... but not in a bad way...
Like, when a really abstract band becomes more accessible, but without becoming shitty. the core E4 ness of Negke mapping is still DOMINANT in this map, but it is somewhat toned down with regards to the tougher puzzles and eccentricities that are kind of de rigeur in the rest of your catalogue... fuck, I don't know. I think you did an amazing job with this - it is another step forward in your inevitable dominance of the Q1SP sphere.

Is amazing. Probably the best brushwork I've ever seen in a Quake map. The angles are mind-boggling, I bet the brushes are begging for mercy after what Negke puts them through. The sheer amount of angulation, architectural details, and consistency throughout. All the little roof details and those angled grey beams....you're a genius. Hell the Eyes secret has better architecture in that one room than most old-skool Quake maps have in a whole map.
Gameplay is great too, both times I played it. The first time I got a bit narked with the twin Chthons, this time I saw the cells respawn, so that's fine. I like some of the wee surprises too. Good use of a variety of monsters.
Only problem is it's quite DARK.
 Hang On

 Yeah

the boss fight is completely different on hard. i much prefer the hard finale, tbh.
 Yeah

Here is skill 2 100% demo as well as a skill 1 boss walkthrough and a carnage run.
Shangler: Woot. But how dark is DARK? Too much to see at night, or more in a E4M4ish kind of way?
 Its Not Too Dark

IMHO.

if you were going for e4m4 levels, i'd say it's about like that. except with less huge pitch black shadows than e4m4 (which is good).
 Just A Bit Too Dark.

The quality of the lighting is good, it just all needs to be upped a bit.
 I See

I thought the flames were a bit too bright at 300, so I lowered them to 250. This is the main difference to id style.
It's another case of different monitor charactistics and settings.
 Well.

What it's a case of is what on average looks good on my monitor which is obviously factually correct.
I think you and Orl should do a joint map! Or you and Madfox.
 Not Madfox And Orl?

brushwork a+++. great layout. not a massive fan of the texture theme but it was cohesively put together.
gameplay just above average (skill 1) - got really low on health at one point until i realised where most of the medkits were, after that never really properly challenged or surprised but there was enough to do
loved the shackled chthon. ending was confusing though and not really that satisfying
in summary, very well put together; barely any negative points. but save for the brief chthon moment above, nothing really left an impact on me or made me go 'woah'.. so even if it is technically awesome, there have been a lot technically simpler maps that have blown me away more than this did. still solid though
 Dude Your Map ROCKS!

Heh, when I first played it I was like:
Damn, this map sucks, I shoot like 2 dogs and a grunt every half fucking hour, but then I restarted it, and saw the "jump for configuration" and picked carnage mode... NOW THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!
 Just Played Through Hard A While Back

There is something about this map that is largely unrivaled.
It plays like an id1 map, but has "more of everything".
It isn't too big, it isn't too small, it leads to a lot of map exploration and backtracking. It has little things here and there that make you think.
One thing I do know: it has casual replayability.
Gigantic maps, by their nature are not very replayable or very casual. A casual play map can be completely without dying or at least very nearly so.
This isn't to say there is anything wrong with gigantic maps, but more saying it seems like there has been a bit of a vacuum of medium sized maps [aside from Trinca's last few maps].

Anyone experience the lava flashing in DirectQ?
demo of the flashing.
#89 posted by necros [99.227.131.204] on 2010/09/27 03:55:00
it's a known issue that's been resolved.
it has to do with the first frame having the same checksum (i don't know what that is, just paraphrasing) as the lava texture.
mh has since fixed this.
