yeah on ours

(Maggumaster) #42

Guess who’s still alive :wink:

It’s been a while since i visited this forum. I havent’t had much time this year, so i wasn’t able to build on my Springfield map, and i really don’t know if it will be ever finished (Duke Nukem Forever Syndrom)
So what do you do when you can’t finish a project?! Exactly, you start anotherone!
So I created this tiny Quake III Arena map:

It’s like a 3d Version of the Worldmap of the classic SNES game “Super Mario World”.

I know, it’s offtopic, or…, wait a minute, i opend this topic, so i can say whats offtopic and what’s not :smiley:
The Sourcefile marioworld.map is included as well. (You should extract the marioworld.pk3 file first, it’s inside the “maps” folder)
So you are allowed to make changes or conversions or whatever you want.

Have fun

It it for ET or Q3?

I was really hoping youd come back with an optimised version of springfield, it was such a good map

(Loffy) #45

Cool map! You got a great imagination, to come up with these maps!

(.Chris.) #46

that mario map didnt work for me, said bsp was version 46 instead of 47 or something like that, also in console said something was wrong with your .arena file also, sorry cant be more help iam tired :bored:

Edit:

just realised its a Q3 map after looking at the map silly me

I always said to myself…this guy must’ve spent forever making this Simpsons map.(research and everything else)
Cheers to you as “The Simpsons” has been my favorite show since it was on the Tracy Ullman show ‘5 forevers’ ago. :drink:

[EDIT]
I like your concepts. [/EDIT]

It would be nice if I could ever play this map. What are the min specs/ hunkmegs needed? I’ve tried 100, 256, 512, I still can’t get the map to load, keep getting hunk allocation error.

(deej) #49

Anyone care to port this map to ET? If you put it on an ETPub server should be great fun :slight_smile:

(Maggumaster) #50

Hunkmegs error? You talk about Springfield, right?
Hm, i heard of this problem, that some people can increase their hunkmegs as far as they want, and the map still won’t load. Sorry, got no solution for this. I worked on the final version with the priority of getting a better performance by decreasing detail and improving the shaders. Ydnar implimented an q3map2 shadercommand to help me solving this problem with the textures, and i’m so sorry that i could not release a version that uses it :frowning: (But Ydnar, you’re still the best :))

I will try to release a new version someday.
Otherwise i have no idea how to solve this problem… perhaps you need a faster system? How much RAM do you own?

I have 512 RAM on my HD currently and another 256RAM on my video card, along with a 1.8GHz processor (yes, my computer is a little old) and am experiencing issues with Springfield. This map and dm_snow are the only ones I have never been able to play, no matter what settings I’ve used. It’s a shame, cause I would really like to check out the map.

Hope you someday get the time to release a version where these problems are fixed and/or other projects for ET. I look forward to it.

(eRRoLfLyNN) #52

Same here. I think the hunkmegs problem put a lot of people off playing the map. I’ve never been able to load it either :frowning:

(]UBC[ McNite) #53

Fog would be a solution, but it would destroy the athmosphere, i think. I know performence is crappy.

Be careful about fog: first of all, fog lets the FPS drop by 10-15 FPS in open maps. It really only improves FPS if u set it to a low viewing distance. So if u want long viewing distance the only thing that helps for FPS is real good VIS blocking.

(Bartman) #54

hey about the map is it on wolfenstien enemy territory

can you tell me a server which has the map please

and tell me the ip for the server thanks

:drink: :drink:

(Magic) #55

You can search from this site : http://et.splatterladder.com/?mod=maplist

And you can dl the map here : http://www.new-etmaps.de/modules.php?name=Maps_S (scroll down the page ).

I could only find one server : 62.75.221.134:27961

(EB) #56

…don’t forget to set your raise your “hunkmegs” to 90 or a bit more.

(deej) #57

too bad Maggumaster never finished this map :frowning:

(Maggumaster) #58

Hello@all

I just wanted to say, that after a long period of no mapping, i decided to finished a Quake III version of this map, with some improvements, so check it out.

The map is called simpsons_q3 or just simpsons map.

Get it from my myspacesite:

The mapsize is reduced, but it should be more playable than the ET version… I’m still thinking of finishing that one, too…

If you still have Quake III somewhere lying around, you may wanna start a server or something. Let me know.

Hi there, new boy here

I`ve downloaded the simpsons map and when it first ran I had the hunkmegs problem so changed to 100 as suggested.
Now tho on running simpsons it shows the intro screen for the game and then crashes with the following error:
Z_Malloc: failed on allocation of 4194328 bytes from the main zone

It does this regardless of what I change the hunkmegs to but other maps work fine.
I have downloaded the map again in case there was an error with the download but no change.
My PC is
P4 3.2 G CPU
1Gb RAM
nvidia geforce 6600 256mb RAM

Any ideas? I really want a go at this map :x :x
