Quake Mapping: Custom Textures Overview

[@wolcamophone4783]

2:11 "Where's all the data?" is now funnier to me than what wad is usually a euphemism for.

I am so impressed by the quality of your videos. Excellent editing. I'm curious to learn more about you, what do you do for a living? I wish I could just hang out with you and make maps for like a whole week. We could be best friends.

[@dumptruckds]

Well that's very kind.

Hi! First of all - Thank you for your work! I started watching your tutorials few days ago and now I'm working on my first map (which I will share when it's done ;-) ) I have a question - Where I can find skip texture? I'm using start.wad and few blood wads from Quaddicted. Do I have to find specific Wad with it?

[@dumptruckds]

Hi there. I am on mobile but you can find my skip textures here: www.quaketastic.com/files/texture_wads/skips_2018.zip

@@dumptruckds Thank you!

[@Brendini]

Nice video! Cant wait to start quake mapping!

[@dumptruckds]

Stay in touch and share your work!!

[@grooveheart]

wow thank you thank you so much! for sharing really precious knowledge! legend!!!

[@TheNomclan]

Does anyone know of a way to get fence textures to work in Darkplaces? I'm having a problem where custom maps will have the pink opaque background instead of it being transparent.

[@dumptruckds]

You probably have an older version of DP.

[@Vitor3dx]

Great video! You helped me a lot!

[@inventionscreator8875]

Thanks for the tips! Im moding the new quake remaster so i can have hd textures

[@Avonaeon]

What's the difference between Lava Skip, Slime Skip, etc? Couldn't you use the normal skip texture?

[@GroinMischief]

There's different behaviors with each skip type. Collision with regular skip and liquid swimming with lava/slime skip.

[@Avonaeon]

Gotcha, thanks!

[@Banduck]

Can you use the skip textures for better performance?

[@dumptruckds]

Well yes and no. Skip itself doesn't help as far as I know. But you can use hint and hint skip to tweak portals. Not many people do it though.

[@wraithsrequiem9711]

Is it possible to incorporate custom weapons and enemy sprites? Do you have an email so I can show the artwork I'm working on for this engine - I'll be using the quake color palette to create all my work.

[@dumptruckds]

Come to the Quake Mapping Discord and ask our experts! Lots of opportunities to show off your progress.

[@wraithsrequiem9711]

@@dumptruckds Ok, thank you cause I've tried searching for platforms to sell my work. This is an awesome adventure in creativity for sure. Again thank you.

[@RaymondHulha]

You are a saint!

[@sveinndagur]

Cool stuff. Will you do coding tutorials in the future?

[@dumptruckds]

I am still very new to QuakeC and coding. I could do a very simple "getting" started tutorial in the near term. I can definitely show people how to get started looking at code and integrating existing code into a mod.

[@dumptruckds]

Also I have a playlist from a few older Quake C tutorials I found. Not super helpful overall but worth a watch.
