Fun with func_train and moving tiles Not having posted for a while doesn’t mean I’ve given up on my map, it’s just that life is keeping everyone busy. In the clip above you can see how I set up 32 individual func_train entities, each connected to a floor tile moving up and down slightly...
Quake Mapping: Fire, Water, Squish Map Update As Covid is keeping many of us busy, it’s been a while since the last update. There’s been a bit of progress with my Quake map, so here are some screenshots for you to look at: Through the “windows” you can see parts of the outside area that I talked...
Happy New Year (and a bit about terrain generation for Quake 1 maps) Another year has passed and now we’re here in 2021, all hoping to get back to a more normal life sometime this year.

The initial idea of the sliding floor (as originally seen in DM2: Claustrophobopolis) somehow didn’t seem enough. To make it visually more interesting I decided to add some more moving elements...
Quake 1 Mapping: Some more information regarding func_train and lighting Following up on my last post, I wanted to provide you with a few more thoughts and details. As you can see in the editor screenshots, I put the individual func_train entities (for the moving chain segments and the lift) into different positions to...
Quake 1 Mapping: func_train and what’s possible… Most of you who are interested in Quake 1 mapping will have come across the func_train entity at some point.
