Maps / Re: Doko's "last" map project: Altazor
September 07, 2017, 09:22:09 PM
No idea if you even played it, but this map reminds me so much of Borderlands! All the different levels and the branched out layout combined with the Hyperion colour sheme =)

Would love to take a look around the latest version  :kirby:

News / Quake Champions announced at E3!
June 13, 2016, 06:49:14 PM
Bethesda announced that the next Quake is in development!

:kirby:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sa-6fQyNkZo

So far there's only a short reveal trailer but from what I read it's going to be multiplayer only and is described as competitive and arena-style. It's also said to be PC only, so it won't be a crappy console port, yet I don't know if it will be available for Mac or Linux.

To me the trailer looks pretty much like Quake 4 with even more specularity, while what I read sounded really promising! What do you guys think? Are we about to get the first playable arena shooter of the decade or is it too late to revive the Quake series?

i remeber a glitchcube tutorial map from back in 2011(...?) that had step by step guides o how to make one-ways, ladders, etc. An updated version of such map for collect edition would be a great resource, especially for new players!

Projects / Re: [MH] Race Map
September 13, 2015, 08:40:51 PM
teams of three would be far too complicated, but another 2v2 coop race would be awesome. i would personally not make completing it itself as hard as the original coop race as it gets pretty frustrating quickly and barely anyone finishes it at all. in my opinion a race map should be about competing for the best time, so it would be easy to finish but have a high skill ceiling with lots of trickjumps and alternate paths. that would grant replayability and encurage people to actually practice on the map instead of making them give up after flying over it in edit mode for the first time :)

I noticed a lot of you added a link to their Steam account in your profiles and as we don't play that much Sauer together naymore I thought we could play some other games maybe?  ;D I created a Steam group for our little community so we can easily exchange Steam ID's and see who's online! :)

I already invited some of you but i don't think I have everyone on my friendlist yet. Just let me know if u wanna join and i'll send you an invite!

General Discussion / Re: Unreal Tournament 4
May 09, 2014, 06:18:56 PM
I also watched the live stream and I can't wait for it! Finally a developer caring about modders and wanting to make a long living title. A game being free and not f2p is also a whole new concept for AAA titles and a steam marketplace-like system that allows modders to earn money from their creations is also a great idea (free mods can still be published of course). I also don't mind paying the Unreal Engine 4 (unlike UDK which is free) as it's subscription based, but you can keep the last version you paid forever, but recieve no updates. So you can subscribe for one month and pay the 20â,¬, downlaod the whole package including the source code and then unsubscribe and keep it. You only have to resubscribe if you want to recieve the latest updates, but you could do that like only once a year.

All in all I still can't belive Epic Games is actually going to do this. There are taking so many risks in developing a game they way they are going to do it and I think that alone is great, but if the game and community will develop the way they planned its going to be truly UNREAL!

Edit: it being PC only and developed for mouse/keyboard makes it better than UT3 already

Toshiba has the Satellite series for more than 10 years now, so I doubt all of them can be considered 'good' today =P

Resources / Re: Layout Methods
January 03, 2014, 07:38:48 PM
Spamming cubes will give you random layouts, which will most likely not provide the best gameplay. Just putting individual segments together mostly also doesnt work out, because the layout has to work as a whole thing. Drawing your layout may help you, if you find it hard to imagine the whole thing in your head, but won't actuall create a layout. I often draw parts of my map, but usually for esthetic reasons, not the layout.
I would suggest you start of with some idea of a gameplay situtation or arrangement of rooms you want to have. Just something that will for sure make your map special, not just yet another dm layout. It could be anything from a tube with a jumppad at the botton and a quad at the top to an unique teleport setup or whatever you can think of. Once you have some idea try to imagine things around it until you have a full layout in mind, not everything has to be connected yet, but every segment has to add smething to the gameplay. Then block your layout and fill all the places that were missing in the layout you imagined. When you for example have too rooms on a different height level, dont just connect them with a ramp and rush to the next place, but think if a curved stairs, a jumppad or maybe even a teleport made more sense there.
All this may sound pretty complex, but after thinking about some ida for maybe a week or even less i know what i gotta do and can usually get it roughly blocked in sauer in less than 15 minutes. This step consumes the lowest ammount of time, but is extremely important, because it'll be you guideline for the rest of the building process of your level. However, it's of course still FAR from perfect and this is the time when playtesting comes in. Quickly spam some lights around so players can see shit, pay a bit more attention on the playerstarts and if you want add pickups already and then PLAY PLAY PLAY. Find someone who is somewhat good at the game, but more importantly knows how to make proper maps, to duel with. try to find out how well the map works for yourself and listen to your opponent, what he thinks is good or bad. In this early stage its very important you that havent started detailing anything, so you wont be afraid of losing your work when redoing things that didnt work out. Try to test the map with as many different people as possible and as often as possible. Change whatever you think is not pefect and if you think its good, change random things and see if it gets even better, if not, of course change them back again.
Only then when you are sure your layout is final (it most likely isnt, but its the clostest you will get until starting with the details ;D), start detailing. That will reduce the ammount of lost work a lot, since you hopefully only have minor changes left to do.

Well, this is just how do my stuff. There are many other ways, but i hope ive at least given you some ideas.

Past few weeks i've been playing duke nukem forever and half life series.
And then i bought some humblebundles and been trying to play 100 games in steam library. ffffff.

I'm still here though, and slowly editing some maps offline. Problem is, it's hard to be on at the right time as others. I would idle in some coop servers but alot of the time they are locked/private.
whats ur steam name?
