Laboratory JK Level Contest Announced!
2004-05-13, 2:15 PM #1
Hi, I am hosting a level contest for Laboratory. The maps should be MP and be Laboratory themed. I also have a mat zip file with assorted mats to help with the themeing. Their CMP is baron06. The best levels will be released in the MP portion of my Laboratory TC, along with a map or 2 by me. There is no due date as of now, so you'll have plenty of time to make some cool levels. Also, you can put your own ideas into them if you want, I think it'd be cool to see what images Lab puts in other people's heads. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]All entries can be sent to thedownward_spiral_81@hotmail.com . Thanks, and Good Luck.

Awesome! I've never entered an editing contest before. At the least it'd be fun to try! [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif]

Could you send me some of those textures Spiral! My email's Wondermog@direcway.com
and notice that there is NO "t" in "direc".

ahh, I see you also added Chester High School to your sig - great! Good luck with your project man! [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]

actually, as of now, the texture file is 2.5 megs, so I can't send it through e-mail, I do have it uploaded, and should be able to post a link shortly to it.

I've sent files as large as 6 MB easily through a satellite connection. Do you have dialup? I wouldn't have thought 2.5 would be a big deal nevertheless. But I'm more than happy to wait for the link. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

I can do JK, mots, and possibly JO as soon as I get the compiler working properly.

TC is the most accurate word for what Laboratory is... especially now that I am adding MP levels to it. That's why it is taing so long.

It seems that I started working with the project. Hoo boy.

But Spiral, any chance of you putting some 3do's (and maybe some ambient sounds etc.) available for download?

we can use stock Jk textures as well, I take it?

I haven't edited JK/mots in ages....


the problem with q3map is that I can't get it to do proper lighting. I've given up on JO editing b/c of that.

You have no problems with us using our own textures, 3do's, mats, and etc. then? And I'm assuming you'd prefer it was 8-bit?

Yeah, no problem with custom textures, Lec textures, custom 3dos, custom ais, custom keys, custom music. What ever floats your boat. Just make sure that u use 8 bit mats only. You can even extract some of the dead body 3dos and alien 3dos out of my other MP Lab levels if you want. As long as it's interresting and cool, it's fine with me.

Spiral, I suggest you release some sounds/music, as well as a few basic 3dos. Reason being, that it'll work a lot better to keep some sort of consistancy in the levels. I mean, we really don't know the real story for Lab, thus levels might... not work well with the story.

Also, what about powerups? I haven't seen much on models and weapons, but if they're done... well, we're going to need some sort of cog for the powerups.

If spiral isn't willing to release sounds and music (and I understand why), then I could do some. I had planned on custom music and sounds for my map anyways, but now that I'm not doing it, I could still do a sound pack.

I guess I'll go work on that.

I don't want exact replicas of the SP level, or even my already released MP levels. If someone has a cool idea for a 3do, they can make one and put it in. Why even have a level contest if all that you expect people to do, is take what I have already done, re arrange it and release it.. I want it to be original. I was even hesitant about releasing the mats. and the stories don't have to go with the plot of the SP level.. they are just supposta be Lab themed levels, if you don't get the story exactly right in the MP level.. that's GREAT! I WANT people to come up with their own ideas

For example, I was considering doing one where the players are mercenaries hired by Excess Inc. to clean out a lab testing facility.

It's not part of the series, but it fits into the general idea.

Out of curiosity, what happened to the laboratory website? Did you lose your host? If so, I'd be more than willing to help you out on that end, just send me an email (Webmaster@sorrowind.net)

Anyway, I think I might jump in on this project. What should we do about weapons though, is it ok if we stick with standard JK weapons? Or should we make our own/rip it off yours? [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]


OH, and one final question, this is for JK, not MOTS, right? RIGHT?

This is for JK. They weapons and Power up you will not have to worry about, because I am attaching a patch with the actual Lab TC, to make the new power ups work in the actual TC. SO these 3dos should replace the JK 3dos in the final gob file for the Lab TC. Also, When you submit your level, I'd like an e-mail explaining the level as Massassi has for their level submissions.. this way at the final End Credits of Lab, I can give credit where it is needed. Yeah, I lost my host. i'll send you an e-mail when I get time.

Spiral's new email address should be able to handle any and all levels you can send him. But you'd have to talk to him about getting the email, since I don't know if he is using it, or if he wants it public.

Would the multiplayer levels have to follow the same atmosphere as the Laboratory Theme?

And would multiplayer co-op levels, be good?
Because I don't know if your AI, and PUPS would work with the dflt named ones.
