Actually, I added Q3 Support for Sanctorium later on. However, the map was designed under VQL Physics and work poorly under VQ3. There was also some downgrades in order to make it compatible.

The file is still available on the forum post in case anyone want it.

Thanks for the update ShaZe. The mappack includes your latest build so you should be good to go.

Edit: I included both the Q3 and QL versions in there when I packed it

ZEN!!! The follow up to Japanese Castles :D

Okay, now Sync and Sponge has to make a few calls and new "premium pack" incoming!

the link refuses to work for me ... any ideas?

Sorry, couldn't find your file on the download mirrors

Did you mean to go to the distribution page?

Want your file on the network? Contact us!

Sorry about that; the link has been fixed.

working now, thx :)

I wondered what DOOMer was upto nowadays.

Unfortunately it's not Tommy :/

Just played a few trial duels on Sanctorium and I'm sorry but it's a mess :(

The hellish lower levels, RA room, rooftops and some random pipes just don't fit together stylistically.
I prefer it when maps have a theme or at worst keep it somewhat related.
Rooms are colossal and do not offer interesting fights and favor heavy railgun use.

My elo 1200 suggestion would be to pick a theme and stick to it, make rooms slightly smaller but keep the trick jumps and skilled movement elements.

lol. I agree that the pipe were always out of context however I had problems finding something else suitable and I liked the little ledge allowing you a different approach so I never changed.

As for the openess, I actually had taken that into account with the heavily reduced railgun ammo, forcing the players to always add an extra stop to the weapon pickup point. However, I doubt anyone really noticed this since you have to start the match and it is always better to explore in warmup.

On a side note, a lots of elements were experimental so I do not expect too much.

Thanks for the feedback, I will apply them in the next competition if there is one, or if I have the time to do an overhaul

There were some new interesting elements, the fiery teleport (could use an X mark at the exit), the floating tele near RA was a nice addition as well. I've read about the RG changes in your original post and I dig the general idea of what you want to achieve with your maps, fast paced and emphasize on movement - keep it up :)

Pretty cool stuff! Always nice to see things such as this. =)

any ql duel map in this?

will download

A bit out of context here, but I think each mapper should upload a youtube video of someone running through the map. The impact would be much higher.

Click on the map link, you wil get weekly progression with screenshots and some already have YT presentation, others will get it as soon as I find the time to run across all of them.

One thing that I've noticed with running these competitions is that part of mapping is marketing. You have to sell the map to the player long before they get a chance to play it. It's too bad that most designers are so busy working that they don't have time for anything else.

Edit: if someone wants to get some demos for these maps I could upload the maps to the igmdb demo renderer and we can create some videos.

It's a big part. We even have a sticky about it in Q3W LEM and in the QL mapping forums: http://quake3world.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=47969

Added these into the original post. Thanks mdv.

Close. But not close enough. Do I really have to spell this out every single step of the way? Jeez.

no effort, no effort whatsoever from your side.

Thank you Mav for running these. Its sad that some of these will go on to be played freely within Q3 and others will become subscription-only maps playable to those with Premium QL accounts. Really hope the mappers are getting paid well by id.

Agreed its sad we are not together in the actively developed project (QL) and losing time for the cost of a dinner a year talking about subs.

My pleasure.

Big thanks to all the mappers and Maverick servers!

error loading fracked

recursive error after: Z_Malloc: failed on allocation of 16777240 bytes from the main zone

zen file seems to be corrupted, and spenctf has a different version number?

A number of judges has issues with loading fracked, so you're not alone there.

Zen and spenctf are both QL maps, so make sure you are loading those in QL and not Q3. Also note that QL pk3 files are encrypted so you can't rename them to .zip like you can Q3 pk3 files.

spenctf1 like, wasn't included in the zip. Just a bunch of stuff to make spenctf3.

Fracked wouldn't load for me in QL, or Q3. In Q3 if I load it my game crashes.

I looked at the rest of them, and I liked smktourney1 the best as far as feel. Really gave me that old quake1 creepy other-worldly feeling for some reason.

Just rename spenctf1.zip to spenctf1.pk3.

fucking bad ass map from Despair...

When can we play these online in QL! :D

Any chance we could zen for Q3? :>

nice1 guyz ... congratz and kudos to every1 participating.

Also known as "Id needs new maps, make them for free!"

"Make them for free" != "Sell them for free"

The creator of the map retains all ownership over the map, regardless if the map is made for Q3 or QL.

that's right

In news post. At least screeonshots should be included.

Check out the judging thread

aty3dm9?

If the author didn't post a current screenshot of the map then it may not have been included. See the map's thread instead.

thanks

the quake 3 imaginary is so beautiful
