New Quake SP map: Smash Alice

[c_lambarri]

Hi,

I made a map to honor the german Internet Service Provider Alice. It's beta stilll so lemme know what you think.

Story (see readme for details):
Thousands want to get their revenge on Alice but YOU have been chosen by the movement to do the job! It's early in the
morning and we have gotten you onto the grounds of the Alice headquarters. The employees are waiting in line for the security
check right in front of you. Bypass the check by whatever means necessary and try to find a way into the main building.

We have only sparse knowledge of what awaits you inside the building, but intelligence reports that the building has 6 floors
that hold the different departments:

I: customer support
II: billing
III: marketing
IV: system administration
V: security
VI: management

Make use of any weapons and other stuff you can find and follow the instrcutions you are given via radio messages!

(Note: They may be many but we know they aren't too bright.)

This is funny. It reminds me of the early days of Quake when people would make Quake maps of their schools etc.

Creative way to vent your frustration. Now downloading.

That was fun. It was comparatively crappy, but it was enjoyable. Even though it wasn't very polished.

Prepare to face management, haha.

Bonus fun points for quad-shafting zombies. Just what I needed today.

Edit: Don't post this at func_, I think the lighting doesn't meet their standards :-P

[c_lambarri]

Glad you enjoyed it and no worries bout func.

I guess erm... my rather tight development schedule didn't allow me to fix the lighting. Yeah. Another point is that the building of this map was driven by hate, not aesthetic.

I have only looked at the screenshots, but I'd say you should work on the lighting (it looks fullbright to me). It always nice to see learning the basics of mapping

And also add pipe and crates that is standard way to improve Quake maps for func_-ers

[golden_boy]

It does have crates, though.

me too =)

> And also add pipe and crates that is standard way to improve Quake maps
oh, I hate this standard methods! Anyone can make a map without crates?

btw, nice to see a new blood in q1mapping. I think, this map is a good base for education, like texturing, lightning, detailing and so. My first quake map (it was 199 was worse.

...and Alice - name of my daughter (3 years old), so i'm slightly frustrated =)

I spot some pipes here, Scrama!

Your daugher is a Quaker!

Right Angles
I've placed several crates in unreachable basement
Well, I hate, but I use...

Ok, I've played it.
It seems like very basic, but not basic at all.
There is no light on map - true
...no optimisation - true
...is primitive brushwork - true
...no solid texture theme - true
BUT
textures fited and/or aligned, not an ugly noob-random-texturing
triggers and clip-brushes - ok
text messages and something like motivation!
SO again
