Nexuiz Mapping

Hey ho!

Using my "freetime" i start to fool around with GtkRadiant and I just did my first map

Anyone ever did something with this program?

I am very proud of my map...called "test", but u can make suggestions if u want. Maybe I can improve the perfect map design once more

I wanted (and still want) to mess a bit with it, but I have one problem (the same as always) - lack of time. but when I'll be ill or something, will try that.
Id like to make some maps from 1st quake (this is gonna be tough) and q3a. well, Id like to , but dunno If I can make it.
for now, still dont have time to do this
nice test map M Im sure Ur gonna do something great ^^

Nice start Marc.

I always wanted to make a map, a replica of a room, miniman style. I never got as far as even downloading GtkRadiant tho.

What's the program like to use? More intuitive than Blender I hope...

Name suggestions? Rock3t - didn't want to say rocket cube, guess I just did tho.

Once the tourney is out the way it'd be cool to have some custom maps on the server, Kringle's Telescope is a must.

yeah, same here

It's easer than Blender

It's working good tho, a bit tricky with lots of key-combination and i didn't found a tutorial for version 1.5 but it's ok.

Well...it is a rocket cube

Good for nothing then an epic selfkill, but I have problems with imagine the sizes atm. Feels big in GtkRadiant and in Nex i had the smallest map ever

On the good side: After 1 our i am able to create a fully playable minsta map, ugly but playable


Try it

Not for me, I tried it some months ago and I failed terribly on using it
But its definetely worth to play a bit around with it...maybe I'll try in the next vacations too...
Till then you can ask me if you need models and stuff

u are the blender pro

For me it's not accessable, everything i could ver do in blender is ruining your work and not even that happened on purpose^^

Failed right now in doing fire, but no problem: Back to the stoneage, where the had a tree and a nexgun in there metal-caves

Marc, keep'em coming:) small map with fast action iz cool ^^
stoneage looks nice

Lie! xD
You know how beshamed I get when I take a look at blenderartists.org? V-E-R-Y !


I just compiled a version of gtkradiant 1.5 myself... so the first step is done. - Im fooling a bit around now.... Im jealous at your maps!
If you want to compile on your own too:

Thanks for the link C, just built NetRadiant, now I've just gotta use it.

Couldn't believe my luck, found a build script that was updated today. If you use Arch, find it in AUR here.

Another usefull link fresh from the alientrap-community

http://www.alientrap.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9

U should test the links, i use the second one now for my poor tries.

I try to make a nice Minsta map when i am able to.
And the other gamemodes suck, so what else then minsta ?

Sad that my abilities can't build the levels i imagined yet...but it wil be cool when i stick to it


My first working jumpad + 2 pools, 1 water and 1 with slime where i died badly

hehe I see U diving @ slime Marc
looks cool Keep us updated with Ur great work m8

Just figured out how teleports work, here a new pic again.
Hope it's interesting how i advance in mapping

Anyone doing his own tries ?



edit: I already have a good idea for a small minsta map, but first i need to learn how i make stairs and curves.

nice ! me interested ^^ keep'em coming
Id love to try, but can't install it here. reading how-to's tho, as that is all I can do atm
have few ideas, but still long way for me b4 I make them alive

Project stairs finished.
thanks to god i know now how to use the clone-funtion. Group some stairs and press space and u get some clones and just bring them in position.
Erm...i would do the texturing before u clone, else u have to texture every step

Marc, Ur improving fast keep it going and @ evening we will have new map to enjoy on servers

Marc, you really are picking this up fast, your trials are already looking good. I think you'll have your 1st proper map in no time at this rate.

I gave it a whirl @ work today, took me about 2 hours to make my 1st box. I have no idea about lighting, stairs, liquids, teleports & other interesting things tho.

U both m8s are already few quite long steps ahead, I don't even know how to make cube I mean I've read tutorials @ nexuizninjaz, but of course there is a difference between theory and practice. but I will give it a shot unfortunately I can't do it at work
keep posting Ur results m8s

Okay, here something new

Did something with the geometry-features. Not usefull atm, but hey...it looks nice

going now into the advanced parts of the mapping-tutorials.



Maybe i can make a playable map this week
But don't expect much

Marc discovered his hidden talent
looks better and better and nicer and nicer on every next screen
great work M

no fear about the lvl-textures, i am not done yet.
I make a playable map now.

Hope it will be okay and not suck

Little update...how to make glass took me a while

Looking really good m8.

Which tutorials have you found either the most helpful or the most complete?

I followed this tutorial through the "basic section".

It's for quake 3 and for gtkradiant 1.4 i guess, but it's the only tutorial i followed till now and with a bit of search in the gtkradiant it works nice

great work Marc!
