Is this the level design that makes Q3A fun??

Oh wait there is no force on Earth that could make Q3A fun!!

B00m b00m!!

But seriously though, as much as I wouldn't use Q3A to wipe my arse, I must admit that both games have their fair share of great and innovative user maps, solid and decent user maps, boring clonish user maps, and hideous newbie box maps.*

* any similarity to my post in the UT level design thread is entirely....ah...ummm..

Ok, I looked at the article. Nicely done tutorial. Problem is, there are a ton of these nicely done introductory pieces on the net already and a shortage of tutes to take people to the next level. Admittedly, the next level ought to be a matter of some sweat and perserverance, but if you've got a major talent like Raven handing out advice, then you might like to see some tips of greater depth.

How to make a q3 map:

Put ten room on each floor, tons of curved surfaces in each room, and plenty of fog. Make sure there are no balanced sniping points, and ensure weapons placements if fucked up

And have the lighting so that blind men would complain that it's too bright or flashy

Then you'll have a map on par with 99.99% of the Q3 maps out there.

- Heh heh. Don't forget to throw in lots of flashy shaders, too. The lower the framerate, the better! ;) : hi-c

I remember making my own Duke Nukem 3D maps. I remember I made a subway station on the moon...it was so fun. But now I just don't have time and the patience to start mapping for Q3. I'd love to make my own maps...but I just can't compete with the maps out there on the net.
