There is no teleporter shader in this map (or there's a missing texture for the shader).

But I like conversions. they are exactly like the maps in the games theryre from

Lonegunman's Dm6 remake is better...plus it is built from scratch.

nice classic map!

I am nearly done on a actual remake, not a conversion of The Dark Zone, I will be submiting it shortly.

quake 1 maps rulezzzzz

sooo.. QuartZ, what's going on with the conversion? :)

just do it :)

i think it is allright, but i have played and think it haves to have a 9

new pic comparing my version of Quake I DM6 to this map...not to say this one is bad, but lets be honest, it takes little work or skill to make a conversion like Povo-HaT's... check out THIS pic:

NOTE: my map on the right is unfinished and UNVISed, so the fps doesnt represent the final map (neither does the pic hehehe) LateZ!

not bad, a direct port over from quake1 it looks like.. although this map kicks ass.. it needs the good ol q3 touch.. ya know.. music.. ambience.. colored lighting.. and to fix that teleport texture, I'm not sure how hard all this is to do, but I'm sure it's not easy.. just to let you know, your work is appreciated

Need suggestions...to add the rail to my version of Q1DM6 or not? Opinions welcomed! Almost done btw with my version!

hmm could have been done sliiightly better... ok though!

Updated version of Q1DM6 rebuilt from scratch by Quartz?

I am very pleased to hear that =)

Hope 2 see it soon!

Quartz - Cool... i look forward to a nice conversion of such a classic map. :)

I'm working on it as we speak...I'm gonna send it off to Tim Willits/Paul Jaquays for approval. Hopefully they will give it a thumbs up. Paul Jaquays' stance on conversions says that a map remade from scratch is the kind of conversion they support...well, then I hope my rebuild from scratch will impress them and you. I made new textures, and wrote an all new shader for the teleports...should i give ya a small taste with a screen shot??? mmmmmm, alright.

Haven't added any lights yet (the light here is from the purple sky) So this pic is by no means final...whada ya think?

quartz- do it do it do it. I have to admit that i didn't play much q2, but when I did, this map was my favorite. If you could really update it well, it would be TIIIIGHT. Good luck

Good map! Please make a conversion of e1m1 too.

I was thinking of doing a conversion of this map (building it from scratch of course) Made to look like it was the same arena say 50 years later.. Giving it the look of a battered war ground, with new nextures that appear to be like the old ones, and updated archtecture, with curves etc, but it would still LOOK like DM6. If people are interested in a quality update of the original map, let me know. I'm sure you have seen my work, and I could whip up this map in a few days (I don't have to test the game dynamics cuz it's tried and true) I think these kinds of conversions are BAD! This map looks/plays horrid under the Q3 engine, but a fresh DM6...ahhhhhhhhh, lemme know!

octovus: it's not the same. quake3 has different physics. if you can play it in quake3 and have it feel exactly like it does in quake1, you either suck or you're not very bright. :)

Damn another conversion.

THEY WILL NOT BE GOOD AS IN ORIGINAL GAMES!

The one and only conversion of Dm6 that is really good, with curves and stuff is made by someone... Really great.

And this conversion sux.

2nd map this week that gets a zippo from me...

I do have to admit, the "original" was a very nice map, but in Q3 its just way too bland- just look at the bloody screenshot for cripe sake, there's nothing there. And the missing texture- there's just no excuse for that.

Veni, vidi, deleti.

At least some people are trying to recreate GOOD dm10n120n2 Structures.

Going back to something you are familiar with is easy.

A PROPER Q3 Conv would be good, but if you don't do it you can't complain.

It ain't a company man, not yet!

Peace

I too have been waiting for this level for a while...it was the best one q1. Me and my friends would play it for hours. However, i am slightly disappionted with this conversion. The lighing in parts is very bad and the teleport texture was missing. Other than that, this was fun to play...i just hope someone else out there makes a better one

conversion sux

It always was a good map. But in Q3, the textures look way too 'blah'. A slight modification would have been nice. As well, the 2 alcoves are totally pitch black - that should have fixed. And the teleporter texture is missing/bad. If some of these things were fixed up, it might be worth playing.

the maps average the bots tend to stand around the middle section so u pinnaple them to death. Also the texture are soft.

this map is Rulezzz except one thing a bit starange lighting and wrong texture. But Gameplay is RULEZZZ.I have been waiting this map for 3 month!!! And Now I play it!!!

Sorry, I have clicked wrong button

This Map was the best map for both q1 and q2(IMXO). Let it live in Q3A

Ok it was both ur comments then... =)

yeah it was my comment, about feeling it might as well be quake 1 for how bland it is.

That wasn't Assball's comment it was Bad_To_The_Bone's... and besides I think all he meant was the screenie, not the level (can't say as I know, haven't bothered to dload the thing). =)

AssBall - besides the missing teleport texture, this is exactly what the original looked liked :]

read my SiNdm9 comments: I think it completely sums it up. (mine are the last 2 comments made on that map)

Another one? Tig, I understand that you probably have some on your que already, but PLZ don't take in conversions.. I haven't dloaded this yet, but no doubt it will be much like others... if mappers out there really like the layout of a certain map, sure convert it, but make it Q3 too... you can have the layout of a map without having those textures (if you can call them that) from good ol' Quake thrown in... because if you do do it that way, the only difference is in the actual weapons available, and if you manage to keep that original... Why the hell would you convert it, just play the original . Just my thoughts..... conversions are getting very tiring, while new maps are getting more and more interesting IMHO.

Happy Fraggin! Octovus

I reckon the buity of the original was its simplicity. There are no buttons opening lava traps or anything like that. And the architecture is nice and simplistic unlike the overbearing architecture of other maps. I'm not sure whats going on with the teleporter in that screenshot though.

Umm... I never played the original, but I felt like I might as well be in the original since the texturing was so poor. No detail at all. I say if you are going to submit a map for public perusal, at least spend some time making it look nice. The layout was decent, that is about it.
