Map "Das Konstrukt"
« on: July 15, 2007, 04:32:36 am »
Hi all,

I just had an idea for a map, something really strange, and I just gave it a try  (never done any mapping before, but the idea doesn't call for a whole lot of skill I think). I'd love to hear what you think and how it could be improved.

As for problems, I have mainly one: the sound that appears in the map sounds like a hammer when it is supposed to sound like a heartbeat... like it was broken. What am I doing wrong?

Anyways, the .pk3 is at http://download.schattenschreiber.org/map-das_konstrukt-alpha1.pk3, and about 7MB in size.

Regards,
Raphael

I think he's worked out what the hollow tool does.

Ha! Ha! Ha!

Good joke Rapha, hackin' of all the mappers who spend ages making something playable that looks good with textures, shaders, lighting, all carefully decided upon, by entering something that has NO gameplay, NO texturing, NO lighting, NO shaders, NO thought and NO point.

Ha! Ha! Ha!

*whispered*
It...it wasnt a joke?
This guy actually meant it?!
Dear Lord...
*/whispered*

Well, at least you can actually release a bloody map, unlike me, but my .maps do look rather good...

It needs a wee, er, work done to it, like rooms, corridors,m stairs if you want em.
And all that...stuff.

Oh  :(

You guys are cruel ... something went wrong and my texture does not show on your computers.

I'll figure it out and re-post.

EDIT: Hell, I'm _sorry_ if I offended any of you guys by making something as simple as this, but that was my _idea_: make a map that looks like the loader program from The Matrix. And there's not much to that program since it is essentially a big pile of void. I never claimed I could make great-looking maps like you all do. And even tho I would love to learn more of this mapping stuff, I fear I lack the time to do so.

Didnt actually mean to be crual, I suppose you could have specified what it was about.
Add something like an armchair or a TV, and some black guy offereing you pills. Soory if it came out badly on you.

Anyway, shouldnt this be in the Mapping releasiy place?


Yeah, Lava, you are an asshole a lot of the time.
And Im suprised ur a mod, you are worse than me ffs.

(But Bringer there are loads of gg's, specially at TremX Bricosoft, where I am a regular.)

We're enjoying ourselves, too, at SatGNU. Nothing to complain about in that respect :]

And yeah I coulda wrote a couple more lines what it was all about. Anyways, can't quite figure this texture thingy out. The white texture is taken from the 'common' set, so I shouldn't have to include it...?

The map shows as solid white for me (which I assume is the idea), did you use a white shader from a third party map? Either include the shader in the pk3, or you can use one from a default map - there's a solid white shader in Transit.

Yes, that's the idea... the shader I'm using is common/white which I assumed belongs to the engine or whatever? I made my own white.tga now tho and put it as textures/das_konstrukt-alpha1/common/white.tga. Is there a comprehensive guide on how to lay out the .pk3's somewhere?

About the sound, I get that playing meanwhile - but it appears not to be honoring the GLOBAL flag. Anything else to be considered here?

I think the problems some of the others have had could be related to a leak which is now fixed. The last problem I have to make my idea work as intended is the orientation of the spawns. I rotate them in Radiant but they rotation isn't reflected in-game...

Ur, then I'll mention it now: I've never done any mapping before.

Btw, got rid of the sound and texture problems I think. Maybe there'll be an alpha2 if I feel like giving you all another good laugh :P
