This will also be where all speedmapping events will be annouced. This is just an effort to keep General Abuse on it's topic of 'anything' rather than being about speedmapping every weekend. Official speedmapping site: http://speedq1.leveldesign.org/ First | Previous | Next | Last As An Old Time Speed Mapper #1018 posted by cyBeAr [80.217.112.63] on 2005/07/11 12:04:53 I'm into celebrating sm100 by doing a map but it'll be a nothemed regular speedmap regardless of what you come up with! Yay #1019 posted by HeadThump [65.140.58.193] on 2005/07/12 11:04:16 I've been hoping a turtle map session would be coming up for sometime now. Count me in Zwiffle for that second event. Well #1020 posted by PuLSaR [80.80.111.129] on 2005/07/12 13:13:39 I'll definatelly map for sm100. I'll make the usual speedmap for sure and maybe I'll map for chainmap. Me No IRC... #1021 posted by generic [69.244.212.159] on 2005/07/13 07:50:11 but I am willing to give events one and three a shot -- I already map at the speed of a turtle :) If anyone needs to coordinate chain map pieces with me, my email is posted. P.S. I vote knave for .wad! I Vote Vondur For World Domination! #1022 posted by R.P.G. [208.221.166.2] on 2005/07/13 09:11:41 . No #1023 posted by bambuz [80.221.25.15] on 2005/07/13 17:52:06 don't, he'll illegalize speedmapping as his first action. (yeah i know the ref) #1024 posted by negke [85.176.90.156] on 2005/07/14 14:06:19 i'd like to participate in the turtle map thing (or at least try to). knave.wad, of course. i hope i can free up some time. SM100, Turtle And Chainmap #1025 posted by Zwiffle [69.210.83.67] on 2005/07/16 16:41:49 OK, so the Turtle Map is officially underway. I will accept submissions no later than 12:00 am (midnight)Central Time NEXT Saturday for the Turtle map. The SM100_pack will be up late, generic needs to finish his and can't get it to me today, so it will be posted tomorrow. Finally, I have uploaded the .wad for the chainmap event tomorrow. Use only this .wad if you're participating, and try to get me your piece by tomorrow, no later than 12:00 am (midnight) my time. knaveSM100.wad: http://speedq1.spawnpoint.org/file... Oh Yeah #1026 posted by Zwiffle [69.210.83.67] on 2005/07/16 16:42:40 The .wad is in quake 1 .wad format, so if you use Hammer or anything you'll need to convert it over. Argh #1027 posted by PuLSaR [80.80.111.129] on 2005/07/17 00:46:32 what a small wad! Only 32 items Zwiffle #1028 posted by generic [71.1.14.68] on 2005/07/17 10:40:24 You've got mail... ChainMaps Are In #1029 posted by Zwiffle [69.210.83.67] on 2005/07/19 07:20:37 All 6 pieces (Ok, really more like 4, Generic made 3 maps) are collected. The authors are bambuz, Generic, voodoochopstiks, and me. All maps have been renamed so you know which author did what. http://speedq1.spawnpoint.org/file... Urgh #1030 posted by bambuz [80.221.25.15] on 2005/07/19 07:28:41 looks like a tough job to connect those with any consistency... also the detail levels vary a lot! I might give a stab at it later today. Turtlemaps #1031 posted by Zwiffle [69.210.83.67] on 2005/07/23 17:32:21 Well I haven't gotten any turtlemaps yet. I know there were 3 in production other than mine, so I'll just remind people that I need them in by this weekend. My own is close to finished, I just need to tidy up some details and polish the gameplay. It should be done by tomorrow. If you want, include a .txt file and I'll add it in the pack. Our Turtlemap #1032 posted by bambuz [80.221.25.15] on 2005/07/23 17:55:52 voodoochopsticks and I are collaborating on a turtle map but my computer hd is having some problems so I can't continue work (some error thing with temp file writing and delayed write cache), since i can't save my editings 9/10 times... ARGH. Even web browsing stutters. But mr chopsticks is bravely carrying this task to it's conclusion alone with my supporting spirit in irc. :/ He'll hopefully be ready by sunday. The map is quite big - it turned out a bit out of scale since I'm not a very experienced mapper and there was no time to resize back. fucking computers. shit. hell. etc. Our Turtlemap... #1033 posted by voodoochopstiks [85.224.215.164] on 2005/07/23 18:45:07 Will be ugly, but it will be there. We started rather late, thursday evening. Turtlemaps #1034 posted by Zwiffle [69.210.83.67] on 2005/07/24 19:45:28 I've gotten 2 maps so far for the turtlemap portion of SM100, mine and bambuz/voodoo's. Headthump will try to turn his in next week with SM101, and ... well I dunno about gibbie's. But there's still technically 2 more hours before the deadline, so I'll wait until tomorrow to upload the pack. Argh! Not Enough Time... #1035 posted by negke [85.176.81.68] on 2005/07/24 19:49:23 my turtle map is being compiled at the moment. i don't know how long it will take, but i'll send it in right after it's finished. item placement took longer than expected, so i hope it's not too late, because it would be a pity if this map wasn't included in the pack. i think it turned out pretty nice, though it also has some flaws which can't be solved within the deadline, for instance the lack of skill settings and the free edicts thing. :( SM101 - The Basics #1036 posted by Zwiffle [69.210.83.67] on 2005/07/25 19:58:18 I had to. Saturday, the 30th of July, 3:00 pm Central. Mail submissions to ZwiffleOwnsU@gmail.com. OK #1037 posted by Zwiffle [69.210.34.26] on 2005/08/04 20:08:53 Some of you may have noticed there was no Speedmap this week. That's because I was sort of "invited" to host speedmapping for QExpo, which I would not have done otherwise. So I'm currently setting up the booth and there'll probably be 2 events I think, maybe 1 or 3, or possibly 100. I dunno. But I didn't forget about it really. Anyway, some more info soon-ish, dag nabbit. So #1038 posted by starbuck [82.40.164.126] on 2005/08/05 07:04:13 you mean you'll release our 2 maps for sm101 during QExpo? I didn't quite catch the drift of that. Sure #1039 posted by Zwiffle [69.210.34.26] on 2005/08/05 09:28:27 Why not. Ok, Fine #1040 posted by starbuck [82.40.164.126] on 2005/08/05 10:22:52 is there going to be a session tomorrow by the way? No #1041 posted by Zwiffle [69.210.34.26] on 2005/08/05 10:30:18 There won't be, but there will be a couple events once QExpo starts. BTW, the theme for QExpo is "movies" or something, any ideas about what theme you'd like the speedmaps to be? I Thought The Theme Was "trailers"... #1042 posted by metlslime [209.213.199.133] on 2005/08/05 12:19:23 Are The QExpo #1043 posted by aguirRe [213.101.73.194] on 2005/08/17 13:10:12 speed packs going to be announced in their own threads? I thought the latest smqe1 was pretty good. #1044 posted by Zwiffle [69.210.34.26] on 2005/08/17 13:36:37 I've been putting the announcements on the qexpo Speedmapping booth, and linked the released pack in the Qexpo thread. SM102 #1045 posted by Zwiffle [69.210.34.26] on 2005/08/21 22:11:56 Now that QExpo is over with, we're back on track with the normal Speedmapping numbering. This week is SM102 - "Geocomp". Make a map using simplistic textures and gorgeous brushwork - the looks will be based not on how pretty the tex are but how good you slap them onto detailed brushwork. Saturday, August 27th, 2005, 3:00 pm Central in #speedq1 on Quakenet! W00t! What Happened To Smqe2? #1046 posted by Drew [209.89.222.196] on 2005/08/24 13:10:06 Were there not enough maps to make it worthwhile? Are you going to include the maps that were submitted for smqe2 with this pack? Drew #1047 posted by Hrimfaxi [83.92.1.117] on 2005/08/24 13:25:10 http://www.celephais.net/board/vie... Sm101 + SmQE1 = ? #1048 posted by generic [69.244.212.159] on 2005/08/24 15:36:15 My thoughts on these are: sm101_starbuck - attractive texturewise with a few misalignments and areas that need to be clipped off. I would love to see this one made into a proper SP map :) sm101_zwiffle - not a bad little hoard affair which took a couple of tries to survive. I liked the difficult puzzle :) smQE1_entar - looked bad with a green tint :( smQE1_neg!ke - green enough with straight-up gameplay and a few Oz favors scattered about. I am becoming a fan of this guy's intricate brushwork :) smQE1_preach - great gameplay with old skool looks. I had to leave a few bad guys standing around to escape with my scalp intact. Best of the bunch ;) snQE2_zwiffle - short, sweet and survivable without being a walkthrough. It also had a nice tight...layout :) GOOD WORK GUYS!!! Thanks, Hrim. #1049 posted by Drew [209.89.222.196] on 2005/08/27 02:13:22 I guess I should have known to look there? Anyways, I really liked smqe2. Zwiffle, you implemented some pretty fucking cool architecture in this one. I didn't like Neg!kes as much as his last, but it was still very cool. I love the chunky look of your maps. Your style is very unique and I like the playfulness of your maps. Generics was cool too - I haven't seen the movies, but your map piqued my interest. Mine took about 2 and a half hours, and I'm happy with how it turned out,considering. The Ammo balance sucked, but I kind of like fighting the last shamb with an axe. What did you guys think about smqe2? Well... #1050 posted by mwh [82.33.185.193] on 2005/08/27 07:18:47 I thought your map was just stupidly hard, and never finished it. They were all fun, though. I Thought #1051 posted by Zwiffle [69.210.38.16] on 2005/08/27 07:33:09 smqe2 was fantastic, one of the best SM releases recently. Every map was strong, even mine, which is weird. I would like to have more patience and do bigger, detailed maps, but I don't use copy and paste like I should and my maps become small. Drew's map was tough, I got to the gold key area and had to fight scrags with my axe so I didn't finish it. neg!ke's and generic's maps were cool, completely different, but both fun nonetheless. Hopefully it'll be a good pack today too. Hey Zwif, #1052 posted by HeadThump [65.140.58.156] on 2005/08/27 22:00:28 Got a map for this week's event (actually it isn't really in theme, but . .). I have been having a problem getting on to hotmail and emailing tonight. So, I'll send it when I can, and you put it in next week if you like. Problem Solved, #1053 posted by HeadThump [65.140.58.156] on 2005/08/27 22:12:38 I'm sending it in now. Give me the God Smack Around if it is any inconvenience. QExpo Speedmaps #1054 posted by aguirRe [213.101.71.87] on 2005/08/28 06:11:41 smqe1_neg!ke was fun and pretty unusual, close to the theme and still lots of action. Tip: If you had problems lighting the two big buttons that reveal the "wizard", either move the lights from the walls a bit or use option -softdist 4. smqe1_preach was also fun and in a more traditional setting. Gameplay was good although the scale felt a bit too big. Easy movements and plenty in fighting are always welcome. smqe1_zwiffle was very good-looking with nice textures. Gameplay was a bit rough, but manageable. smqe2_drew had decent layout but maybe a bit monotonous texturing. Gameplay was pretty good until ammo and health ran out near the GK, one of the real fun-killers. Also, the map leaked and wasn't vised. smqe2_neg!ke had a quiet and curious beginning in a nice setting, but the rest was fun arena-style combat. At first it was easy, letting them finish off themselves, but soon it escalated into pretty intense mayhem. I had to retry a few times before leaving with really low health ... smqe2_zwiffle wasn't quiet at all; major close-quarter combat right from the start. Again pretty rough fighting, but survivable. Nice details, texturing and lighting, only a bit small. As a whole, two good packs! Zerstorer Theme #1055 posted by Drew [209.89.222.196] on 2005/08/29 07:48:12 I've mentioned it before and been shut down, but I'm gonna try again. I'd like to maybe have a speedmapping session using the Zerstorer mod. I know it's not Vanilla Quake, so some of you guys might feel like it would be diluting the purity of speedmapping or something, but I'd like to try it. What do you think? No Point. #1056 posted by Shambler [82.38.192.54] on 2005/08/29 08:19:06 And don't tarnish Zerstorer. No Doubt A Good Point There #1057 posted by HeadThump [65.141.73.142] on 2005/08/29 09:28:10 But if we could talk CZG into doing a Terra like episode for Zerstorer, that would swweeeet. SM103 #1058 posted by Zwiffle [69.210.55.43] on 2005/08/30 12:07:22 SM103 - "Autumn" Saturday, September 3rd, 2005 3:00 PM Central in #speedq1, Quakenet I'm afraid this'll be my last Speedmapping event until next year. School starts next Tuesday and I just won't have a lot of time to do anything between that and work. Oh well. =/ GG Zwiffle. #1059 posted by Shambler [82.38.192.54] on 2005/08/30 13:30:00 Nice final theme too, hope you get a good turnout. I think you;ve done a great job of keeping speedmapping going under fairly uninspiring circumstances, and I think it;s been worth it - although they are still only speedmaps, there have been some interesting maps, interesting ideas, and an occasional upturn in quality too. AND you have brought several new mappers to the fore, some of which - generic, drew, negke - are showing a lot of promise. Yeah #1060 posted by Drew [209.89.222.196] on 2005/08/30 21:41:14 I agree with Shambler, and I'm sure plenty more of us quake fans do as well. Your commitment has been pretty impressive. You just kept going, coming up with wonderfully obtuse themes and producing maps every time. I know alot of people would have given up... I know I would've. Thanks alot for contributing to this community. Hopefully someone else will step up to the plate. So yeah, thanks. Drew #1061 posted by aguirRe [213.101.72.195] on 2005/08/31 02:47:20 Do you have an email address? Just send me an email and I can reply to that. Zwiffle #1062 posted by negke [85.176.68.136] on 2005/08/31 05:14:07 nooo, that's sad news! :/ what am i now going to use as an excuse not to continue working on my maps?? hopefully, you'll find some time to host a speedmap event every now an then, depending on how much spare time you'll get... anyway - as the others already said - good job! btw: why not upload the smqe1 pack to the speedq1 archive, just for the sake of completeness? "Nothing" #1063 posted by Shambler [82.38.192.54] on 2005/08/31 10:33:53 what am i now going to use as an excuse not to continue working on my maps??

Lol #1066 posted by neg!ke [85.176.91.163] on 2005/08/31 15:59:33 and what about "i got 'zwiffilis'"? :D Zwiffle... #1067 posted by generic [71.1.3.243] on 2005/09/01 18:35:56 You've got mail :) Wow #1068 posted by Zwiffle [69.210.55.43] on 2005/09/01 20:47:04 That second map is the most beautiful piece of art I have ever experienced... truly mind blowing. It speaks truths even Jesus couldn't deliver. I'm just breathless from that whole thing. :D For Lo #1069 posted by Lamb Of God [82.41.10.46] on 2005/09/01 21:18:30 Was it not written that there wouldst come a mapper And though he be generic, his speedmaps would not?

Zwiffle #1074 posted by aguirRe [213.101.70.216] on 2005/09/04 13:41:29 You've done a good job on running the SM sessions and produced a lot of good maps! If noone picks up the thread, I hope that you'll return later. If #1075 posted by Zwiffle [69.210.55.43] on 2005/09/04 20:26:43 You're interested in taking over the Speedmappage duties while I whittle away my hours on school and work then email Scamp at whatever his email is, otherwise he's gonna take over, and that means... well that means there'll be speedmapping, so that's good. Still, if anyone wants to try, by all means go ahead. Speedmap #104 - The Return Of The King #1076 posted by Scampie [68.117.137.42] on 2005/09/04 20:35:21 Speedmap #104 will be happening this Saturday, with myself taking helm of the Speedmapping boat once again. There will be no theme for this pack, Single Player or Deathmatch levels are acceptible. Timelimit is 100 mins, let's try to stick to it, but I've never been one to enforce the timelimit strictly. We will meet on IRC for the live event, on the Quakenet network (irc.quakenet.org) in #speedq1, at 3PM Central Time, this is 8PM UTC. If you can not make it, or wish to map beforehand, you may email me a map before the live event or get in contact with me beforehand. My email is scampie@spawnpoint.org. Also, Please Relieze... #1077 posted by Scampie [68.117.137.42] on 2005/09/04 21:27:14 I will not be making a speedmap, for this or future speedmaps. I cannot due to the limitations of my contract. I likely shouldn't even be running this event. This is why I will only be in charge of organizing, collecting, and uploading the weekly events. Hurray For Scampie! #1078 posted by Tron [202.7.183.131] on 2005/09/05 07:23:13 Boo for Raven contract! Also #1079 posted by Scampie [68.117.137.42] on 2005/09/05 07:44:31 If anyone has any ideas for themes, please bring them up. Themes I will not run for any reason: Anything requiring a custom engine. Speedmaps must run in GLQuake minimum. Anything requiring a mod. Speedmaps will run in vanilla Quake. Anything limiting brush or entity counts. Reasons: Speedmapping is about creation and enjoyment for the mappers who participate. Themes should encourage people toward innovation and new ideas of architecture, gameplay, and buildstyle. Themes should not limit mappers, or require having to learn new entities/features in a specific mod or engine. We are having fun building maps, this is excercise, not a popularity contest for mappers to get famous. We don't need more than vanilla Quake to be creative. Themes will never be enforced, only suggested. The timelimit is also not enforced, since it's merely there as a guideline to spur on the quick creation of a map. Speedmap packs are released for the sole reason of sharing what we did with each other and inspiration for our fellow mappers.

Some Things Speedmaps Don't Usually Have... #1086 posted by mwh [82.33.185.193] on 2005/09/05 17:20:48 - difficulty settings - secrets Mwh #1087 posted by Tron [202.7.183.131] on 2005/09/05 19:15:52 I think that is more a time consideration than anything else, Speedmaps are generally so short that it would be a waste of resources building secret areas. #1088 posted by Scampie [68.117.137.42] on 2005/09/05 21:19:48 not unless the whole map is made of secrets. AND THUS I DECREE! #1089 posted by Scampie [68.117.137.42] on 2005/09/05 21:23:35 As first Emperor of the Quake and protector of Mexico, NEXT WEEK'S THEME is 'Secret Maps'. To even progress through the map, you must find secrets. (Note, NEXT WEEK.

It's not chainmapping but is a bit related to it. Doesn't require so much work from a "glueguy". You can have an arbitrary number of steps and people and might even get your own early work back modified - whatever! The scheduling doesn't need to be rigid since you can shuffle the maps and mappers - a mapper can show up and say "I'll take the next ready piece to work on". #1094 posted by Scampie [67.129.250.254] on 2005/09/06 09:01:35 that's not a theme, that's a headache.

I envision something like the Mario 64 water level, where he had to navigate a huge mass of metal piping and scaffolding to push buttons and do fun things like that. Would make for a nice bit of cerebral fun, different from the norm. Lol Scamp #1097 posted by bambuz [130.233.220.23] on 2005/09/07 06:35:32 of course it's not a theme.

Sorry... #1103 posted by generic [71.1.9.18] on 2005/09/10 13:59:01 but I do plan on doing something for the "secret" speedmaps :) #1104 posted by Scampie [68.117.137.42] on 2005/09/10 14:46:29 [15:24] <Zwiffle> scampie: generic and neg!ke never showed up [15:24] <Zwiffle> they always sent me maps at about 8:00 [15:24] <Zwiffle> same with drew That true? If that's how most speedmaps have gone, then should I rework how times go or something to better suit everyone else? is there any reason no one mapped this week that I can fix? I kinda feel at fault here, if everyone else was used to speedmapping one way, and I told you to do it differantly and that stopped you from participating, please speak up!

I started a map early then got distracted and never got chance to finish it. I think having a theme helps motivate people as well. I suspect the lack of a showing this week was mostly to do with the very loose feel it had this week. Scampie #1108 posted by negke [85.176.68.105] on 2005/09/11 03:00:40 don't worry, it's not your fault at all. in fact, i started a map, too, but i probably wasn't in the right mood and - after some 80 minutes - realized that it wasn't even half finished (i just didn't know how awesome the speedbase textures are), so i quit. after reading the posts above, however, i decided to finish it later on and send it in, so you can release it in the afternoon, for one map is at least better than none... Those Textures Are TEH EVIL! #1109 posted by negke [85.176.75.193] on 2005/09/11 07:31:22 i just can't stop... forget what i said above - i guess i'll turn the map into some sort of semi-turtle map and send it in for next week, if that's okay. Nope, #1110 posted by Drew [209.89.222.196] on 2005/09/11 08:15:32 Not your fault. I've been busy - work, and family stuff. Shit happens, dog. Ok #1111 posted by Scampie [68.117.137.42] on 2005/09/11 11:31:11 so I can blame all you then right? :D very well. We'll do SM104 next week. Gonna toss up two of my favorite themes suggested and get an opinion which we should do: Theme 1: Secret Maps, only way to progress through the map is to find secrets. Theme 2: Aerowalk and Blood Run, sittin' in a tree, K I S S I N G.... er... I mean... Theme 2: What if two maps mated? Take 2 well know maps, and mix their themes/layout/whatever in some way to create your speedmap. Yes! #1112 posted by voodoochopstiks [85.224.214.72] on 2005/09/11 15:49:52 I can finally say I contributed to something! #1113 posted by voodoochopstiks [85.224.214.72] on 2005/09/11 15:57:42 I am fine with both, I'd like to do both, but on different weeks. Ie theme 1 this weekend and theme 2 the next. My Vote.... #1114 posted by generic [71.1.9.18] on 2005/09/11 18:24:57 is for the "secret" theme.

Ok Then, #1118 posted by Scampie [67.129.250.254] on 2005/09/12 10:34:16 sounds like SM104 will be the Secret Speedmap. And why don't we do Two Maps Mate as 105. Speedmap #104 will be happening this Saturday. The theme for this week is "Secret Maps". The map should consist of secrets as the major way to progress though the map. Hide the gold key! Put the goodies on the 'normal' path and monsters in the hidden rooms! Go nuts and make some unique secret puzzles! Timelimit is 100 mins, let's try to stick to it, but I've never been one to enforce the timelimit strictly. We will meet on IRC for the live event, on the Quakenet network (irc.quakenet.org) in #speedq1, at 3PM Central Time, this is 8PM UTC. If you can not make it, or wish to map beforehand, you may email me a map before Sunday at 3PM Central Time or get in contact with me beforehand. My email is scampie@spawnpoint.org. Some Themes I Think Will Be Used In The Future #1119 posted by Scampie [67.129.250.254] on 2005/09/12 10:48:47 -Prison -Clean Runic (Merged Headthump's "clean base" "rusty base" "scifi runic" and "gothic runic" into something silly :) ) -Use hacks from the 'Teaching Old Progs(.dat) New Tricks' thread to make weird maps -Propaganda -The City -Isolation -Partially submerged Any feelings on these? #1120 posted by voodoochopstiks [85.224.214.72] on 2005/09/12 10:57:36 no idea wtf clean runic would mean, and I find myself hard to get ideas for Propaganda, and would progs.dat need it's own mod directory to run or is it not a modified progs.dat?

The theme for this week is "What if these maps mated?". For this theme, choose 2 or more somewhat well known maps and build your map as if it was a combination of them. Build an Aerowalk type map using the textures and such of Blood Run. Build a czg07 ripoff, but with the small size and ease of e1m1. Whatever you'd like, Deathmatch or Singleplayer. Timelimit is 100 mins, let's try to stick to it, but I've never been one to enforce the timelimit strictly. We will meet on IRC for the live event, on the Quakenet network (irc.quakenet.org) in #speedq1, at 3PM Central Time, this is 8PM UTC.

Theme Suggestion #1143 posted by PuLSaR [80.80.96.166] on 2005/09/20 13:28:49 labyrinths Themes (Part 2) #1144 posted by Scampie [67.129.250.254] on 2005/09/20 14:11:47 -Use hacks from the 'Teaching Old Progs(.dat) New Tricks' thread to make weird maps -Partially submerged -Labyrinths I like the idea of differant themes that make the speedmappers try new things (secret maps), innovation is a big part of what makes speedmapping cool, so I'd like to head in that direction for the next couple SMs. Scampie #1145 posted by JPL [213.30.139.243] on 2005/09/20 23:10:40 "Partially submerged" and "Hacks of progs.dat" themes are those I really would like to see speedmaps for.. "Labyrinths" would be annoying, IMHO, if too complex, and I guess most of players would be completly lost in map finally... I have just in mind the example of an old map where there was a huge labyrinth (with huge pyramids.. I don't remember the map name, but regarding all the good map done today, it was really crappy...): it was really annoying to find my way in a labyrinth without any indications, and with monsters on each corners... cough.. Please don't do that :( In anyway, it's just my taste... but I'm pretty sure good mappers of Func_ could do something really different and interesting.. wait and see... ;) #1146 posted by Scampie [68.117.137.42] on 2005/09/21 01:06:52 I don't care about players, I just want speedmappers to have fun creating new and differant things. Scampie #1147 posted by JPL [213.30.139.243] on 2005/09/21 01:54:08 You should... Mapping only to "please yourself" is not, IMHO, a good idea... Keep in mind that players should be the most important people at the end: i.e having "self-fun" when mapping is good, but giving fun to players with your stuff is so far better... though... Just to elaborate: imagine pro mappers (e.g D3/HL2 mappers) having only self pleasure when mapping, regardless of gameplay, design, lightning, etc... the results could have been really crappy, don't you think ? And the games would have been completly different... So, do you really want to build speedmap pack full of shity map ?? I hope not ;P This Is Speedmapping Though JPL. #1148 posted by Text_Fish [194.72.70.124] on 2005/09/21 03:31:13 It's an excersize for the mappers. It allows them to break free of the inhibitions that trying to appease the public places on them with their bigger releases. It's a chance to get experimental and/or just have a laugh -without- having to worry about what the players are going to think. As far as I can tell, that's the very purpose of speedmapping. Yes And No #1149 posted by bambuz [130.233.220.23] on 2005/09/21 04:43:41 you can do it for self-satisfaction but you should also make it for satisfaction of other mappers and other players. :) Whatever. Ugh #1150 posted by Zwiffle [69.210.38.231] on 2005/09/21 06:08:50 There was a huge long discussion about why people speedmap after Scampie ran Xen out of here, do it for whatever reason you want to do it, if it's for yourself then do it for yourself, if it's for the players then do it for the players. As long as you're satisfied. Satisfied ?? #1151 posted by JPL [213.30.139.243] on 2005/09/21 06:15:13 I think the most difficult is to give satisfaction to most part of the players... Having "self-statisfaction" doing something is easy when you love what you do (whatever it is), but giving satisfaction to others is not so easy... unless you are a "pro".... and I'm talking about sex there .. it's another story ... ;P Errata #1152 posted by JPL [213.30.139.243] on 2005/09/21 06:17:24 ...and I'm talking about sex there .. ooops: I mean and I'm NOT talking about sex there... I guess everybody understood... ;) Abstract #1153 posted by necros [142.150.107.202] on 2005/09/21 06:37:29 strange, abstract designs (get on the hotdog?), wierd (but not stupid) gameplay. dunno if this is a good idea or not. i'm saying abstract, but i don't mean ugly... it should still be cool looking, but shouldn't be your typical look to a map. To Me #1154 posted by Hrimfaxi [83.94.153.240] on 2005/09/21 07:54:08 speedmapping is like brainstorming. Some people/mappers throw some ideas in the air/in a map and other mappers can see them and think "well this would bee cool in my map - But I think I will change it like this ..." That's how I use the SMs! Besides having fun! Off course the players are important as well - but in SM more like playtesters. They shouldn't expect bugfree finished maps in speedmaps, and I'm sure they don't! If once in a while a SM is flawless and has greath gameplay well then it would bee the exception rather than the rule! Buzzzzzzzz #1155 posted by Kell [82.41.10.46] on 2005/09/21 08:22:16 this would bee cool in my map it would bee the exception I knew they'd show up again sooner or later... ...hey wait, has "bees" been done as a speedmap theme? :P 8-) #1156 posted by Hrimfaxi [83.94.153.240] on 2005/09/21 08:47:49 Sorry! Themes #1157 posted by Shambler [82.38.192.54] on 2005/09/21 10:11:51 I generally think the ones Scampie is choosing are good. I like this weekends. I like his thinking behind it. I do however, think that labyrinths would be bollox and quite pointless for mapping creativity. Kell #1158 posted by Zwiffle [69.210.38.231] on 2005/09/21 11:38:14 Yes, Bees has been done as a theme :) Well... #1159 posted by metlslime [209.213.199.133] on 2005/09/21 13:27:15 a lot of the draw of speedmapping is that the mapper is free to experiment, screw around, and make something without pressure for it to be good and without a large time commitment. If people enjoy playing them then that's just a bonus, but not the goal. However, there probably are some speedmappers who are actually trying to make something that people will enjoy. That's great, but not every mapper should be expected to do that. Personally, my big goal when speedmapping was to teach myself to map faster. I don't think i really ever learned that, however, becuase my regular maps still take forever. #1160 posted by Scampie [67.129.250.254] on 2005/09/21 14:00:27 It is my absolute opinion that if your goal is to create something fun an exciting for the player, then you should spend a decent amount of time with it and make it worthwhile. If you want to fool around, make some things that normally wouldn't be acceptible, or just go crazy with stuff; then Speedmapping is the way to go. If the map turns out fun, then it's a bonus, but I run speedmapping for the enjoyment of the designers involved, not for the people who download and play the maps. I #1161 posted by PuLSaR [80.80.111.129] on 2005/09/21 14:27:47 always (almost) make all my weird ideas in speedmaps. My most crazy one was sm61 (i think), the one with hourglasses and time travel idea. I know that I can make in sm things that I will never make in a proper map. And that's why it's fun for me. And sometimes I speedmap for players without weirdness. and I DO WANT to make a labyrinth Idea Suggestion: #1162 posted by voodoochopstiks [85.224.214.72] on 2005/09/21 18:03:01 Hide the Phallic symbol.

Theme... #1175 posted by generic [71.1.14.133] on 2005/09/25 17:19:50 I actually went with the "partially submerged" (or whatever) theme but I don't think I stayed with it very well. I swear, once these speedmaps start they seem to develop a theme of their own. BTW, Scampie, you (should) have mail :) Themes #1176 posted by drew [24.64.66.37] on 2005/09/25 19:57:15 cramped, natural terrain, cliffside, remake or pay homage to your favourite SM, acid trip, love machine, sewers, dark forest, towne, wind tunnels, arena, ... lookin forward to #105 Acid Trip #1177 posted by inertia [134.53.108.134] on 2005/09/25 23:15:05 was already done by nitin, i believe (the name started with an n im sure of that!) those maps were awesome and insane SM105WHERE? #1178 posted by Shambler [82.38.192.54] on 2005/09/26 10:52:33 Less faggy theme suggestions more map pack releasage. "Love Machine" Isn't Faggy. #1179 posted by drew [24.64.64.185] on 2005/09/26 11:49:17 it's just exploring its sensuality. I agree though. What happened? I sent mine in. #1180 posted by Scampie [67.129.250.254] on 2005/09/26 12:24:29 pack will be out later this evening, i got caught up with some things this weekend.

Can a theme be chosen and posted a bit sooner than "one the day". Everytime I pickup Worldcraft I basically have to re-learn the damn thing. How about throwing a newbie mapper a bone here :) Sorry I'm Late With The Theme Post #1183 posted by Scampie [67.129.250.254] on 2005/09/29 14:36:26 Sm106, "Partially Submerged" same times and details as my past speedmaps. Oh #1184 posted by Scampie [67.129.250.254] on 2005/09/29 14:37:16 and Megazoid, I try and post themes the Monday before the speedmap, that's almost a week ahead of time. Future Theme Suggestion #1185 posted by Scampie [67.129.250.254] on 2005/09/29 14:39:05 'Oddities' Partially Submerged #1186 posted by PuLSaR [80.80.111.129] on 2005/09/29 14:50:55 sounds great for a theme. I think I'll speedmap for it. It plan to convert this theme into Partially Submerged Labyrinth for me.

[24.136.180.235] on 2005/10/02 18:13:40 Isn't he that guy that made that Dune mod or something? Why don't you do a theme about Barballs instead? I'm sure that'd be much better. What Does A/s/l Stand For? #1196 posted by drew [24.64.66.37] on 2005/10/03 13:04:04 Actual / Sex / Life? Just Thought About #1197 posted by negke [85.176.68.90] on 2005/10/03 13:33:57 a theme kind of related to the geocomp one: maps with only two textures (or has this been done already?) could bring forth some nice maps... or some very ugly ones :P Maybe #1198 posted by PuLSaR [80.80.111.129] on 2005/10/03 13:51:54 maps with only one texture will be more fun?

Wait A Minute !!! #1221 posted by JPL [213.30.139.243] on 2005/10/10 03:02:26 Reading again the post, there's still a mistake: it has to be read as SM 2-14-2016 ... it's more "explicit" like this... ;P Made One #1222 posted by bambuz [130.233.220.23] on 2005/10/10 04:07:16 since i don't have internet at home, i didn't remember the theme, but it actually somehow came towards that anyway - it's cramped at least for the monsters.. The ai is quite bad at navigating that even semi-crampy things are really hard for them as i noticed :( had some cool ideas but never had time to get around to them when hunting trigger problems and a couple of leaks, and just then got tired and zipped it up and went to bed. i sent it to scamp on spawnpoint, is that the right email? Yes #1223 posted by Scampie [67.129.250.254] on 2005/10/11 09:41:21 i'm just really busy, sorry, will try and get the pack up tonight.

Perhaps we could all just speedmap when we feel like it andsend it to Scampie to release as packs when he can. Or not. not sure if I particularly *like* the idea, but I could handle it. What do you guys think? If Scampie is too busy then maybe someone else could host it. I would, but I'll be leaving my country/computer soon, plus I'd be completely unable to handle the website side of things. Hey #1227 posted by negke [85.176.83.182] on 2005/10/14 06:47:25 i had to move to another city, so i don't have proper internet access for at least another week. :( maybe i'll do a map tomorrow, but i can't promise anything... what about the 'oddities' theme scampie suggested some time ago? #1228 posted by voodoochopstiks [85.224.215.86] on 2005/10/15 10:45:30 What about tonight? #1229 posted by [84.204.120.129] on 2005/10/15 16:33:01 yeah Guys #1230 posted by bambuz [130.233.243.228] on 2005/10/19 06:26:07 send your speedmap 107s to headthump, that is alanr643 at msn.

I Just Recieved A Speedmap #1241 posted by HeadThump [65.140.58.206] on 2005/10/23 08:38:59 from Neg!ke. Actually it most likely came a few hours ago while I was a sleep. I will get it all up and ready in a few. Thanks, Neg!ke! Wow, #1242 posted by HeadThump [65.140.58.206] on 2005/10/23 09:50:57 That was a fun level you made Neg!ke. I urge every one to pick this one up at, http://www.geocities.com/alanr643/... I'll be back in the late part of the afternoon to see if any one else has a level to upload (I'll bundle them as they come in), and again after the Simpsons tonight (8:30 EST) I had to take the '!' out of the zip file name to get the Pagemaker uploader to work, sorry Neg!ke. BTW, Neg!ke #1243 posted by HeadThump [65.140.58.206] on 2005/10/23 10:01:37 On the last note in your e-mail, I hope so to.

I'll get a snap shot and have posted up shortly. Clean Design And Aesthetic, #1251 posted by HeadThump [65.140.58.21] on 2005/10/23 16:05:17 Short but pretty good, Bambuz. If anyone else has a speed map, please get it to me by 8:30 PM and I will go ahead and bundle everything recieved by then. 8:30 PM EST #1252 posted by HeadThump [65.140.58.21] on 2005/10/23 16:37:58 GMT minus five hours Thanks Bambuz, #1253 posted by HeadThump [65.140.52.63] on 2005/10/23 18:03:59 Bambuz map is now up for grab. This week I was flying by the seat of my pants; if we have an event next week, I'll bundle them all first before release, that way there is a better chance of the maps being played. I would be happy to play host if Scampie can't fullfill that role at this time, and the Great Zwiffle has his head in the books. Though we'll need to find a home, my silly-dilly geocities site is just cutting the cheese. Just In Case #1254 posted by Spirit [80.171.83.195] on 2005/10/24 02:34:12 http://www.quaddicted.com/stuff/te... ;) Could Scampie just give you access to the http://speedq1.spawnpoint.org ... Oh wait... Spawnpoint is no more :( I could setup the domain speedq1.quaddicted.com (or what you like) and a bit of space (not much though, since I need it for the SP maps. maybe 100mb?). I would give you ftp access then, so you could upload whatever you want :) This is not meant as try to takeover of speedq1, heh. Just as temporary host of course! Yeah #1255 posted by bambuz [130.233.243.228] on 2005/10/24 06:05:53 thanks ht for putting stuff up. Zip em all into one like previous packs and start putting em to spirit's place. Then make a news post and post the url to the directory and mention your email and say that you are now handling speedmaps for a while. Cheers! SM107?!? #1256 posted by generic [69.244.212.159] on 2005/10/24 10:08:39 Sorry if I am flogging a dead horse but I have been away on vaction and although it seems HT is handling SM108 well enough what the heck happened to SM107? HeadThump, maybe you want me to send sm107_generic to you??? Yeah! #1257 posted by Drew [198.53.40.232] on 2005/10/24 13:40:44 I was thinking of doing that with my sm107 map as well. Really busy right now, but not as busy as scampie, so I *will* get that to you next time I'm at my quakecomp. We Can Bundle #1258 posted by HeadThump [65.140.56.124] on 2005/10/24 13:47:33 it with next week's mapping event if you don't mind. You can go ahead and send it to me, Generic and I;ll do all the prep work for it for next week's event. That is a great gesture of generiosity, Spirit. 100 Megabytes will be more than adequate for now. If my new job holds up, a full blown site will be possible in about a month's time. E-mail me at alanr643_at_msn.com for whatever necessary arangements need to be made. #1259 posted by Scampie [67.129.250.254] on 2005/10/24 13:56:25 Spawnpoint should hopefully come back this week. At that time, I will give control of the speedq1 site the Headthump if he wishes to run the site. I'm very sorry about being so 'away' these last couple weeks. Been very busy, never using my own PC at home for anything. No Problem, #1260 posted by HeadThump [65.140.52.209] on 2005/10/24 15:31:41 things often happen that are beyond our control. I'll be glad to run the speedmapping events. It turned out to be alot of fun putting the maps and pics up the last few weeks. Scampie #1261 posted by Zwiffle [64.108.134.144] on 2005/10/24 19:31:38 Don't apologize, be away more often! No Text #1262 posted by bambuz [130.233.243.228] on 2005/10/25 01:46:54 Headthump #1263 posted by Spirit [80.171.98.128] on 2005/10/25 08:16:18 Mail sent ;) Thanks, Spirit #1264 posted by HeadThump [65.140.53.229] on 2005/10/25 14:29:54 we can make use of your the site for the next few weeks until Scampie gets the SpawnPoint matter sorted out. I appreciate the generosity of both of you. Okay, any theme ideas? Something that most regular mappers would like to do. I think we can work out a system where each regular mapper gets the chance to call a theme for the fallowing week's speed mapping event. We can include regular commentators like AquiRe, Shambler, and Megazoid in the as well. I just want the most flexible and fair means of doing this that we can agree upon. Hey #1265 posted by Zwiffle [64.108.134.144] on 2005/10/25 21:05:55 It seems I might have some free time this weekend so it's possible I can crank out a speedmap of some sort. As for themes, I thought of a really good one a while ago but totally forgot it, so I'll just go with City in the Shadows or something. Bleh, that's a stinky theme. Okay, #1266 posted by HeadThump [65.140.56.27] on 2005/10/25 21:57:21 Zwiffle can be the first theme picker. Do you remember where you put the theme last? It is probably there. FFS #1267 posted by bambuz [130.233.243.228] on 2005/10/26 05:35:10 post news already of the speedmaps done... Now no-one notices, either to dl or to start making new ones since it's all in the state of limbo still. The Three Maps, #1268 posted by HeadThump [65.140.57.245] on 2005/10/26 07:50:44 mine, yours, and Neg!ke that came in by Sunday of last week will be bundled together as one package and Generic's map will represent a fresh start. If you prefer to have your map bundled with next week's offering, let me know. It isn't a problem. However, a News Post for the informal arrangements of the past few weeks is not necessary. It would probably be overkill at this time. Generic's Map #1269 posted by HeadThump [65.140.57.245] on 2005/10/26 07:51:51 along with speedmap session 109 will be a fresh start I meant to say. If My Answer Is Unsatisfactory #1270 posted by HeadThump [65.140.57.245] on 2005/10/26 08:02:10 in your estimation, and that is okay by me, you can post a news item on the 107 & 108 sessions. Just include a brief discription of the three maps and a running man icon along with it and submit it to the moderators. They'll take it from there. I have to be else where in thirty minutes, so you are in charge this afternoon. #1271 posted by Trinca [194.65.31.249] on 2005/10/27 02:04:16 hey iīm making a speedmap...or maby a shit map...but since there is no shitmapping weekīs maby u guys may get something with it! :) were should i sent it??? or should i upload? Send It To #1272 posted by HeadThump [65.141.73.75] on 2005/10/27 06:26:41 alanr642_at_msn.com Thanks, Trinca. #1273 posted by Trinca [194.65.31.249] on 2005/10/27 06:42:33 o.k map and bsp sent :) #1274 posted by Trinca [194.65.31.249] on 2005/10/27 08:25:19 Hi. This is the qmail-send program at isp.novis.pt. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out. <alanr642@msn.com> :( My Fault, #1275 posted by HeadThump [65.140.59.123] on 2005/10/27 09:23:46 It's Alan643_at_msn.com not AlanR642 I Did It Again #1276 posted by HeadThump [65.140.59.123] on 2005/10/27 09:25:18 AlanR643_at_msn.com All apologies. Sooo... #1277 posted by generic [69.244.212.159] on 2005/10/27 15:05:24 There is going to be some swank page put on Spirit's site to download the bundled, missed speedmap packages until Scampie's show is eventually back up and running? And, what was that new theme exactly? I am sooo con-few-zed :) I Was Hoping Zwiffle #1278 posted by HeadThump [65.141.73.76] on 2005/10/27 21:42:51 would get back with that, but apparently, school is more important than speedmapping to some ;) Okay, if Zwiffle gets back with his theme idea, we'll go with his idea: Otherwise the theme will be: Mescaline. #1279 posted by Trinca [194.65.31.249] on 2005/10/28 02:05:42 did u get my crapy? Sm108_neg!ke #1280 posted by Drew [216.168.121.117] on 2005/10/28 03:32:25 Just played that. That kicked ass, and also made me feel inferior. Good job, you talented ass. keep it up. #1281 posted by Trinca [194.65.31.249] on 2005/10/28 04:19:08 were can i get speedmapping maps? there is no link :( i miss some... A Good Theme For This Week-end..... #1282 posted by JPL [213.30.139.243] on 2005/10/28 04:19:36 ... would be "Hell"oween !!!!!!!!!!! Yeah #1283 posted by bambuz [130.233.243.228] on 2005/10/28 04:40:16 neg!ke's hell map was the shit! THE ALMIGHTY ZWIFFLE SPEAKETH #1284 posted by Zwiffle [64.108.134.144] on 2005/10/28 05:17:21 Cough. Hi. Whenever what's-his-face gets spawnpoint back up I'd be happy to collect the maps and update the site (that takes about 5-10 minutes) but I won't bother participating in the event or coming up with themes. If Thump wants to do it then that's fine too, but you guys have to run it on your own until school's out, that is if you want me to run it again at all. ~_~ I also desire to play this fabled sm108_neg!ke. Gimme. #1285 posted by voodoochopstiks [85.224.212.107] on 2005/10/28 05:40:35 Mescaline sounds like a nice theme :D I'm Thinking #1286 posted by HeadThump [65.140.52.146] on 2005/10/28 08:47:05 some of Rorschach's more bazarre texture sets http://www.planetquake.com/polycou... would fit the theme nicely. Just make sure whatever you use looks good in at least GLQuake. 'Hell'oween can be an alternative for anyone not interested in the Mescaline theme. Deadline 11:00 PM GMT (6:00 PM EST) Sunday Thanks #1287 posted by negke [85.176.95.82] on 2005/10/28 09:17:50 nice to hear you liked my map. i felt one owes it to zer to make something special when using those textures! drew: you don't have to feel that way - luckily you don't know how the brushwork looks. ;) bambuz: nice map. crossing these strange bridges was not all that easy in winquake on such a crappy machine as this... a.k.a. yes, i died. ...several times :P how does one open the quad secret? Confirming, #1288 posted by HeadThump [4.136.90.233] on 2005/10/28 23:23:07 I have one map each from Trinca, Generic, and Drew at this time. Thanks, guys. I hope to get the time tomorrow to make a map too. If anyone has sent a map in and isn't listed, please let me know. Must've Missed Sumthin'.... #1289 posted by the silent [84.222.200.140] on 2005/10/29 10:04:48 ...the last smpack I have is 106. We're talking 109 here... Where can I find the missing ones? Thanks guys for endless hours o' fun... Negnotke #1290 posted by bambuz [80.221.59.120] on 2005/10/29 11:46:16 spoiler for sm107/8_bam after you kill the fiend (that spawns if you go in the dead end), the quad secret opens for a while (8 secs or so)... :) Thump #1291 posted by Zwiffle [64.108.134.144] on 2005/10/29 12:05:05 I'm sending you one, I labeled it sm108 cuz I'm not sure what number we're officially on, but you should get it soon. The Silent #1292 posted by HeadThump [65.140.58.186] on 2005/10/29 13:34:41 I'll have 107 108 The Lost Adventures of Speed Mapping up tommorow, along with SpeedMap 109. Zwiffle, That makes my day, thanks. HT... #1293 posted by generic [71.1.8.131] on 2005/10/29 15:27:08 I got one in the oven, sm109_generic, but it needs a few more tweaks. Can I get it to you tomorrow (OCT 30)? Yay, Zwiffle!!! Sure, #1294 posted by HeadThump [65.140.52.245] on 2005/10/29 20:19:27 I can hold off -- the Sunday 11:00 GMT deadline is a rule of thumb. I'm thinking of making a small start level; I would make the end of levels on the individual maps into change_episodes (function name I'd have look up) back to a map named sm109. I Demand Maps! #1295 posted by Megazoid [62.252.32.13] on 2005/10/30 03:46:15 FEED ME NOW. ;) HT... #1296 posted by generic [71.1.10.71] on 2005/10/30 09:36:37 you have mail :) Thanks, Generic #1297 posted by HeadThump [65.140.58.65] on 2005/10/30 15:33:56 I'm going to start putting everything together now. If anyone has a late entry, don't worry, finish it at your leasiure, I've got a ton of things to do. I'll be around in some capacity 'til Midnight (11:00 EST.) That is when I expect to put everything up -- Midnight Is Not 11:00 EST #1298 posted by HeadThump [65.140.58.65] on 2005/10/30 15:36:48 obviously. Thks Ht #1299 posted by bambuz [130.233.243.228] on 2005/10/31 05:46:58 stuff lookin' good and all! Bambuz #1300 posted by negke [85.176.76.216] on 2005/11/01 08:52:05 ah thanks. i did find the fiend, but i just thought it was a funny joke without triggering something... Neg!ke, #1301 posted by HeadThump [65.141.73.105] on 2005/11/01 10:14:29 Thanks, I just got your speedmap. I can't wait to play it when I get in tonight. If you like, go ahead and post a theme idea for this coming 110 event. I Don't Know... #1302 posted by negke [85.176.76.188] on 2005/11/01 11:19:25 the theme of the map i sent you could be described as 'monotony', but i really can't decide on a theme for the others now. i'd like to have the 'oddities' theme sometime in the future, though (not sm110!). there were also some other nice suggestions in the past, but i have to leave now, so there is no time to go through them again. That Rorshach Thingie #1303 posted by bambuz [213.169.2.25] on 2005/11/01 11:36:06 dunno... would that require a bit more time? And somebody would need to make a wad... the outdoor and the broken textures seemed very nice there, though I don't know how they'll fit with the q1 palette. I Used About Six #1304 posted by HeadThump [65.141.73.197] on 2005/11/01 21:45:47 or so of Rorshach's Temple textures converted to the Quake palette. It took a bit of work to get the fullbrights out, but I think they go pretty well with the Wizard.wad. If there is interest in this theme, I can convert most of the rest of that set and combine them with the wizard wad. By the way, Rorshach does threaten in his readme text to shoot anyone who forgets to credit him. Given he works for Epic now I better take heed. #1305 posted by Trinca [194.65.31.249] on 2005/11/02 02:44:48 should i send my next map to same email again??? this week the map is a litle better :) maby someday i will make a good one...still learning! Trinca, #1306 posted by HeadThump [65.140.59.146] on 2005/11/02 06:59:19 yeap, AlanR643@msn.com #1307 posted by Drew [216.168.121.117] on 2005/11/02 11:38:56 My next SM will be Big. That is my theme. I already have a vague idea of what I'm going to do. So Ima do it, and you can't fucking stop me. but I suggest you join in on my "BIG" theme. #1308 posted by bambuz [213.169.3.242] on 2005/11/02 11:50:03 all the big stuff i've done looks even worse than the medium scale stuff, but i just might do something. O.k #1309 posted by Trinca [194.65.31.249] on 2005/11/03 02:18:23 my map is sent!!! Big, Dammit. #1310 posted by Drew [216.168.121.117] on 2005/11/03 11:22:21 Do it Bam.

You asked a question in your e-mail. You should have my answer in your box, if not, let me know. Generic, Drew's mutiny was an entire success. I can only confirm the answer that 'big' is indeed the theme from my vantage point on the tippy end of the gangplank. I'm aiming to get everything out by 3:00 EST Sunday, (8:00 PM GMT). That way the maps can still be played during the weekend. Okay, Trina, I See, #1315 posted by HeadThump [65.140.56.101] on 2005/11/04 07:33:10 you are having an ISP problem which could effect whether you can view your e-mails or not. I'll correct that door issue for you Saturday afternoon, and send you a copy of the map back then. #1316 posted by Trinca [194.65.31.249] on 2005/11/04 07:43:44 many many thks this way i will learn and can use this from know on :) i think this map is a litle better then the other... :) next will be better iīve already start it, and is getting fun :) got one big room with some nice detailīs HT #1317 posted by Drew [216.168.121.91] on 2005/11/04 22:41:30 you have mail, captain. Looking Forward To It #1318 posted by HeadThump [65.140.56.199] on 2005/11/05 11:41:40 I'm going to try to finish up my map before playing anymore levels; aside from Trinca's of whom's level I need to test out a bit before mailing back. Who's Gonna Be In This Pack? #1319 posted by Drew [216.168.121.91] on 2005/11/05 13:00:18 I know Generic will - he's like a rock. And he's aside from being a constantly horny guy, I know I can count on him showing up for SM. Trinca and HT obviously. Myself... Neg!ke? Are you going to show up? Anybody else? Yeap, #1320 posted by HeadThump [65.140.59.223] on 2005/11/05 14:15:48 Neg!ke has a map for this one. I can confirm too that I got the update Neg!ke, it's not a problem if you need to tweak anything further. Trinca, #1321 posted by HeadThump [65.140.59.223] on 2005/11/05 14:50:48 you may not have recieved my e-mail. I'm going to need you to do a virus scan on your file attachment and rescend the map. Sorry, it won't open. Working... #1322 posted by generic [71.1.12.160] on 2005/11/06 06:16:49 I just had to go and watch some shite (American) football game yesterday, but I'm on it. HT, you should have something from me by the end of the day today :) Okay, #1323 posted by HeadThump [65.141.73.66] on 2005/11/06 08:26:35 I'm still trying to make something passibly presentable at the moment too. Urgh #1324 posted by bambuz [213.169.30.102] on 2005/11/06 10:29:08 i tried to do something big and non-quakey and it just didn't fucking work neither from graphics or gameplay view so it's better i don't try to finish or submit it. :/ I'm Sympatico #1325 posted by HeadThump [65.140.58.231] on 2005/11/06 12:31:26 I set my origianl map aside as it was too ambitious for an afternoon affair. For the past hour I've worked on something quite a bit more simple. BTW, can anyone get in touch with Trinca? I've emailed and posted here, but I have not heard from him. If you see this, Trinca, you have plenty of time still to correct the matter. Of The Complete Maps #1326 posted by HeadThump [65.140.58.113] on 2005/11/06 14:46:14 I have Drew's, Neg!ke's and my map. How is your map coming along, Generic? I'll Load Everything Up #1327 posted by HeadThump [65.140.57.207] on 2005/11/06 16:02:09 about 7:30 EST (30 minutes from now. Generic, Bambuz, and Trinca if you send a map in before then or tell me you need some more time, I'll hold off. Oh yes, Bambuz, I'm going to write a discription up for the News, and send it your way. :( #1328 posted by bambuz [213.169.30.102] on 2005/11/06 16:43:22 I'm not sending anything, going to bed now. Sorry :C HT... #1329 posted by generic [71.1.11.34] on 2005/11/06 18:08:19 I just sent you mine. I hope that doesn't screw you up any... :) I'll Resubmit The File #1330 posted by HeadThump [65.140.52.254] on 2005/11/06 18:14:49 and ask Spirit to delete the original. It shouldn't be a big deal.

Scampie And Spawnpoint #1332 posted by VoreLord [203.51.233.36] on 2005/11/06 22:56:48 I see Scampies site is down, and read somewhere that he has left the community? I thought he had returned, but anyway, is there anywhere I can get the following packs?, as I seem to have misplaced them, or is Scampies site expected to return?

Huh? #1337 posted by Spirit [213.39.196.157] on 2005/11/07 06:54:04 How could a .bsp file contain a virus? Just rezip it and you're good :) Sorry, Trinca #1338 posted by HeadThump [65.140.53.63] on 2005/11/07 07:07:42 How could a .bsp file contain a virus? Just rezip it and you're good :) I wondered about that myself, but MSN refused to download it. I tried to do it through Hotmail, and that is where I got a report that the file contained a virus. Just Checked My Mail #1339 posted by HeadThump [65.140.53.63] on 2005/11/07 07:20:45 I like your solution, Trinca. I'll compile it, correct that door, and include it in next week's speedmap pack. But #1340 posted by bambuz [130.233.243.228] on 2005/11/07 07:22:53 they're both a microsoft service? (msn & hotmail) Maybe you should get speedq1@gmail.com. Easy to remember and a gig of space to store all those maps in your inbox. #1341 posted by Trinca [194.65.31.249] on 2005/11/07 07:26:15 thks :) o.k then next week i will have two maps :) did u like the map??? is a litle better... I'll Have To #1342 posted by HeadThump [65.140.53.63] on 2005/11/07 07:34:33 use AquiRe's conversion utility that takes out the Quark format specific elements first, so later tonight when I get back in I can compile and check it out. Ffs Trinca #1343 posted by bambuz [213.169.30.84] on 2005/11/07 13:43:17 learn worldcraft it's so fucking easy. follow the tutorial from the help file. Worldcraft Is Easy #1344 posted by Zwiffle [64.108.134.144] on 2005/11/07 14:07:09 GtK is easier. (Except for setting up Quoth to work with it!) Which reminds me, I'd participate in speedmapping this weekend if I could get Quoth working, I want to play with the new toys. If not, then I'll just play the lovelies once they're released. Have You #1345 posted by bambuz [213.169.30.84] on 2005/11/07 14:42:01 searched all hardisks for all defs? #1346 posted by Trinca [194.65.31.249] on 2005/11/08 01:16:41 bambuz i can even start a room with worldcraf...can change textures becouse dont have the register version...bah bah bah fuck worldcraft i can map with Quark and maping is something i allways want to make... let me learn slow :) i dont have much time to learn fast... and i dont have time to read tutorials...i didnīt read anyting just test and look at other maps...i know one of these days i will make a good map, please wait! :9) one thing i can promiss i play Quake since 1997 and i can garantei that i next 5 years at least i wont stop playing... :) Eh #1347 posted by bambuz [130.233.243.228] on 2005/11/08 06:25:52 you can change textures with shareware and do everything else too? Get worldcraft 1.6 SW. I think I have that. Or then use gtkradiant. It's a bit more keyboard-intensive so the start requires some key learning but it's pretty easy too. Just put your texture wads to id1/ I think. And I think reading and doing tutorials is probably the fastest way to learn. #1348 posted by Trinca [194.65.31.249] on 2005/11/08 07:02:14 let me try for more days Quark at least for have the idear of things... my 3 map is getting nice :^) ... #1349 posted by Spirit [213.39.158.64] on 2005/11/08 07:43:27 Quark is nice editor. You just need to be aware of the floating point shit, that's all afaik. I love Quark and find it super easy to map with it. Never got any Radiant to work properly... But #1350 posted by bambuz [130.233.243.228] on 2005/11/08 08:12:51 That's just the problem. You never have tried other editors because 1) you don't get them to work (takes 20 minutes) 2) you don't learn them (takes a few hours) These are bad excuses. #1351 posted by Trinca [194.65.31.249] on 2005/11/08 11:22:22 hey HeadThump forget that door isue...already found out thks!!! Okay, #1352 posted by HeadThump [65.140.56.170] on 2005/11/08 21:54:03 Yeah, one thing I was going to recommend was AquiRe's new define file. BTW, I've been away the last forty-eight hours, I did not know I was going to be sent out of town, so, my apologies JPL, I still don't have the screenies. Oh Yes, #1353 posted by HeadThump [65.140.56.170] on 2005/11/08 21:57:47 and theme ideas -- I have a few, 1) sloppy seconds, 2) Quoth, in honor of those magnificent bastards, Necros and Kell. ? #1354 posted by Trinca [194.65.31.249] on 2005/11/09 01:26:41 fuck fuck fuck can anyone say me why does the player dont teleport??? i did like this... http://trinca.no.sapo.pt/tele.jpg http://trinca.no.sapo.pt/tele1.jpg Trinca #1355 posted by JPL [213.30.139.243] on 2005/11/09 01:49:31 Ok, try to clean targetname field in shot 2 (i.e trigger_teleport targetname field). This will allow you to use the teleport whenever you want. If you set this field, you will have to trig the teleport before using it... (i.e, like a switch on).. Also if you want to trig the trigger_teleport targetname field, it would be judicious to choose a different name but teleport_destination (already used by item teleport_destination) I hope it will help you ;) #1356 posted by Trinca [194.65.31.249] on 2005/11/09 02:40:14 JPL u rockzzzz thks it worked!!! :) is normal to Quark that i got many holes in map and red things all oveer the place wend i compile??? and i dont see any hole? Trinca #1357 posted by JPL [213.30.139.243] on 2005/11/09 05:15:31 I see you are using QuArK, and sometimes QuArK Search Holes In Map function is a little bit weird, and find holes that don't exist, so don't use it any more... ;P... I rather prefer to us TxQBSP to find holes !! If there are leaks in map, TxQBSP will find them for sure... the tool find holes in map while there are not. OK, Personnaly I used this "flow": - aguirRe's TxQBSP - aguirRe's vis - Tyrann's Tyrlite - AguirRe's engine or FitzQuake Note that I used aguirRe's engine for map debug, i.e to find holes, leaks, HOM, etc... and FitzQuake for lightning effects checking.. in general So for your problem, I recommend you to load the map with aguirRe's engine, open the console, and type pointfile. A doted line will appear in the zone where the hole have been found, and then you would be able to solve it.. PS: your last 2 posts would have been posted into Mapping Help Thread... in anyway, I hope it helped you ;) #1358 posted by Trinca [194.65.31.249] on 2005/11/09 07:03:10 sure u did... :) thks iīm already testing... i only map at work! at home my kid dont let me do nothing... Trinca #1359 posted by JPL [213.30.139.243] on 2005/11/09 07:47:34 I only map at work! at home my kid dont let me do nothing... For me it's completly the reverse, I'm too busy to map at office... and at home I always need to drop my 2 daughters to bed in order to map quietly... How lucky you are to be able to map at work... P #1360 posted by Trinca [194.65.31.249] on 2005/11/09 11:15:43 HeadThump my map is almost finish... the theme is Quoth? how can i add these monsterīs to my map??? :) Before #1361 posted by HeadThump [65.140.59.243] on 2005/11/10 06:53:40 deciding the theme is Quoth, we need a general consensus, or, at the least, a good old fashion mutiny. Necros has a tutorial on his site regarding adding the content. And, if I am not mistaken, there is a option in Quark that allows you to convert Radiant define (.def) files into the Quark format. Also, #1362 posted by HeadThump [65.140.59.243] on 2005/11/10 07:26:06 given there is a .fgd in progress for Quoth, we may want to wait a few weeks before doing that theme. #1363 posted by Trinca [194.65.31.249] on 2005/11/10 07:54:24 o.k then i will maby have two maps for this week :) if i can fix the lightīs in the second one... tomorow i upload to my homepage and sent u a email of the link! On Quoth... #1364 posted by generic [69.244.212.159] on 2005/11/10 15:16:28 I say wait until there is a proper FGD first, but that is just me :) Thanks Trinca, #1365 posted by HeadThump [65.140.53.168] on 2005/11/11 09:05:58 I got your .map and .bsp files. No ugly downloader manager foul ups getting in the way this time ;) I Think... #1366 posted by Drew [216.168.124.119] on 2005/11/11 14:55:03 we should make sming quothable. the teleport functions, etc... speed things up. I might make all of mine quoth once the fgd comes out. not that I'll have many more as I'll be out of country soon. Sorry To Hear That #1367 posted by HeadThump [65.140.56.54] on 2005/11/11 21:42:11 not that I'll have many more as I'll be out of country soon. You are an irreplaceable part of the Speed Mapping line up. #1368 posted by Trinca [212.55.178.189] on 2005/11/12 04:46:05 HeadThump the map had two bugs i fix the map is in same page with this name... metalr.bsp a stuck dog and amo boxes is strange places... Sorry #1369 posted by Trinca [212.55.178.189] on 2005/11/12 05:06:02 fuck forget... know the vis didnīt run o.k and some amo boxes desaperar...bah my Quark is not working good at work forget let it goes the way u got it know... forget my last post... No Flame Please... #1370 posted by distrans [211.28.9.201] on 2005/11/12 07:21:02 ... and I know I've only ever contributed to two speed mapping sessions (sm57 & sm82), but I thought the idea was always to build with vanilla quake in mind. Kell & necros need to be lauded for their contribution to the Quniverse, but is speed mapping the place? Well #1371 posted by Zwiffle [69.210.59.225] on 2005/11/12 07:34:35 I don't see why we should forbid people from making Quoth speedmaps. Surely that should be acceptable as well, and since normal Quake maps are backwards compatible I don't see any problem really. I was planning on Quoth speedmapping if I ever got it to work (damn you spog answer my email.) The Week #1372 posted by HeadThump [65.140.58.81] on 2005/11/12 09:33:47 we do Quoth, I was going to suggest, instead of using sm111, sm112, etc, as the naming convention, we use an alternative identifier for that week, so those who do download speedmaps, expecting vanilla Quake content wont be confused about it if they so happen to dl the pack at a much later date. Yeah #1373 posted by Drew [216.168.124.119] on 2005/11/12 10:58:32 Any Quaker who is hardcore enough to need a weekly fix - unvised and short lasted though it may be - will have Quoth already. Period. Fuck the grammar police... Where Is It Then? #1374 posted by negke [82.82.186.116] on 2005/11/14 11:15:14 any quaker who is hardcore enough to need a weekly fix - unvised and short lasted though it may be - would have gone nuts with withdrawal symptoms by now... :P #1375 posted by Trinca [194.65.31.249] on 2005/11/15 01:10:37 fuck i can make a map :( no file for it... then i guess i will try to make a bigger map or a dm map in this two weekīs if i have time enought for it. Neg!ke #1376 posted by Drew [216.168.99.107] on 2005/11/15 09:09:57 As you are, apparently. Actually, I made one. and sent it off to HT. So there. #1377 posted by Drew [216.168.99.107] on 2005/11/15 09:10:53 my withdrawal symptoms involve mapping... ... #1378 posted by Drew [216.168.99.107] on 2005/11/16 08:40:26 I don't like posting 3 times in a row, but is anybody else into SMing? I just realised that if this was any other forum, you'd all probably think I was a fairly kinky guy. On Func you just think I'm a fairly dorky guy. ... anyways. What is happening? I'm leaving for Thailand on the 29th, and I want some more speedmaps before then, goddammit! So sit on your lazy asses and build shit! I Got Two #1379 posted by Trinca [194.65.31.249] on 2005/11/16 08:55:10 i got two maps to go out...but they are to normal quake! so they will be in next pack!!! is isnīt a quoth map pack... Drew... #1380 posted by generic [69.244.212.159] on 2005/11/16 09:03:32 I will try to get something out this weekend :) Me Too #1381 posted by negke [82.82.182.197] on 2005/11/16 10:46:48 but what's with headthump, anyway? quothed smpack should have been out last weekend already, right? will sm111 be unthemed again then? UNGH! #1382 posted by Drew [216.168.107.191] on 2005/11/17 08:52:45 i'm officially fucking jonesing. The Funny Thing Is... #1383 posted by Drew [216.168.125.179] on 2005/11/18 05:52:43 That the last thing Headthump said to me was that I was an irreplaceable part of the community. I don't know if he realised it at the time, but in his current position,I'd say we'll have more trouble replacing him. I'll just make some shit and if I finish anything I'll send it off to the proper people. Hm #1384 posted by Spirit [80.171.27.104] on 2005/11/18 06:33:04 Headthump wasn't here for 6 days now. I could make the packaging if you want (if Headthump doesn't come back in time). My mailaddress is in my profile. If I get a mail but Headthump is back soon enough then I'll forward it to him. Maybe #1385 posted by negke [82.83.48.13] on 2005/11/18 06:50:35 he's just busy and will eventually return on the weekend - we'll see. drew, about that thailand thing - how long will we have to do without you then (assuming you won't get busted for drugs/girls/throwing litter on the street/etc.)? And #1386 posted by bambuz [130.233.243.228] on 2005/11/18 06:57:20 are you going together with cybear? Well #1387 posted by Drew [216.168.125.179] on 2005/11/18 07:10:22 No need to worry about me being busted for drugs/girls/throwing litter on the street. I'm into ladyboys. I'll be gone for a year and a bit. And I expect you to have made a 6 map Quoth episode dedicated to me during that time, Neg!ke. I'm not together with cybear. we've actually been divorced for more than a year. Seriously though, is he going to Thailand? #1388 posted by Trinca [194.65.31.249] on 2005/11/18 07:58:00 me what sex and booze to... :( Stupid Twofaceness #1389 posted by bambuz [130.233.243.228] on 2005/11/18 08:22:49 western young men go there and abuse kids and women and don't even get punished. It's outrageous. I mean it. Behave. Yeah #1390 posted by Zwiffle [69.210.50.142] on 2005/11/18 09:17:34 Thailand is AWESOME. !!! #1391 posted by Drew [216.168.125.179] on 2005/11/18 21:23:12 While I am a western young man, I want to ensure you understand I'll be going with my girlfriend, and as I have already stated I am into Ladyboys. EXPLANATION!!! #1392 posted by Drew [216.168.125.179] on 2005/11/18 21:27:15 "Hey Drew, My apologies. Last weekend the power supply on my home PC burned out, and I will likely not be able to replace it until after the Holiday season, so I'm not in a position to run speedmaps at this time. Sorry, Alan If you could let the other mappers know, I will appreciate it. " This explains so much. PS #1393 posted by Drew [216.168.125.179] on 2005/11/18 21:28:01 this was from HT. Duh... Millionth Post In A Row #1394 posted by Drew [216.168.125.179] on 2005/11/18 22:42:03 Would somebody like to trade with me? I have the beginning of a SM, and I'd like to have somebody finish it. I'll trade with you too, if you'd like. whaddya think? Argh! #1395 posted by Spirit [80.171.159.163] on 2005/11/19 00:33:30 Well, send speedmaps to me then. I'll even try to participate :) Drew #1396 posted by Zwiffle [69.210.50.142] on 2005/11/19 06:48:06 If you use GtK 1.5, would like to send the .wad, and really don't want it to be a good speedmap sure, send it over here. Who's Speedmapping? #1397 posted by Spirit [80.171.159.163] on 2005/11/19 09:52:15 Well, I've got Trinca's and mine (yeehaw!) submissions already. Who's submissions can I expect? Just that I know when I've got all the files. I want to bundle and post tomorrow evening (24h from now) if possible. I'll Send Mine. #1398 posted by Drew [216.168.125.179] on 2005/11/19 12:07:13 its on the way. Zwiffle #1399 posted by Drew [216.168.125.179] on 2005/11/19 12:29:41 I use WC 1.6. so... yeah. I'm In... #1400 posted by generic [71.1.8.38] on 2005/11/19 15:23:59 if I can submit it to you tomorrow :) Generic #1401 posted by Spirit [80.171.128.153] on 2005/11/19 17:03:45 Sure, I just wanted to know how long to wait for submissions ;) Barely Made It Back Home In One Piece #1402 posted by neg!ke [85.176.70.36] on 2005/11/19 22:20:21 and i'm pretty fucked up atm., but i'll try to have mine done by 9/10pm gmt today (sunday). if that's too late for you just ignore me and release the pack earlier... #1403 posted by Drew [216.168.125.179] on 2005/11/19 22:50:25 Negi!ke, Generic, someone... Does anyone want to finish my map. it's barely started, but that's not the fucking point, so back off. Neg!ke #1404 posted by Spirit [80.171.128.153] on 2005/11/20 06:29:56 I'll try to stay awake long enough, otherwise I'll release the pack Monday then :) I Can See Straight Again And My Ears Are Ringing Less. However, #1405 posted by negke [82.82.188.246] on 2005/11/20 13:37:00 it looks like the map will be done much later than i said this morning. sorry about that. i'll send it in sometime this night, but there's no need to stay awake, if releasing the pack on monday is okay as well. Sorry... #1406 posted by generic [71.1.1.60] on 2005/11/20 20:46:14 I am running behind too and I won't be able to finish what I got until tomorrow (Monday) evening :( Hm #1407 posted by Spirit [213.39.223.200] on 2005/11/21 02:41:41 Well, I've got neg!ke's map now and will release the pack in a moment. Sorry generic, but that would delay the release a bit too long in my opinion. I mean, it's SPEEDmapping ;) I'm not a friend of moving sm maps into the next pack (like sm111_generic in the sm112 pack then) but I should not wait until the end of all days I think. I hope this is ok... Maybe you can have sm112_generica and sm112_genericb then or something :> No Problem... #1408 posted by generic [156.75.192.108] on 2005/11/21 06:50:39 Thanks for the exclusion. Uhm... #1409 posted by Spirit [213.39.223.200] on 2005/11/21 07:46:18 Come on! I think/thought Speedmapping is held on Saturdays normally. The last packs it seemed bit like a "somewhen on the weekend" event. It is getting more and more out of hand it seems. This weeks speedmapping was kind of a mess so I volunteered to collect and package the maps. I wanted to be a bit strict on the deadline. If you feel leftout now, then I apologize. You are welcome to do the job next time, the hosting at Quaddicted.com is easy and free. Spirit #1410 posted by bambuz [130.233.243.228] on 2005/11/21 08:22:09 you did a good job. Some shit-getting is inevitable, one has to just make bold decisions and act. (Few come to thank afterwards or say that it's the right thing, but I think it was in this case). More discipline! Less slack! Actually... #1411 posted by generic [156.75.192.108] on 2005/11/21 08:36:50 I thought Spirit did a good job with the event, no shit-giving intended. I just thought it was hair-splitting to release something Monday morning versus Monday night. Oh well... Bambuz, go map! You Forget #1412 posted by Zwiffle [69.210.50.142] on 2005/11/21 14:11:26 Spirit is a reverse-gargoyle, and turns to stone during the night. But yeah, thx for collecting/hosting the maps, good pack but I didn't finish the crate map (lost/dizzy/bored.) Oh well O_o Post-Script #1413 posted by Zwiffle [69.210.50.142] on 2005/11/21 14:18:57 Because of Thanksgiving this week (w00t for American holidays) I'm going to have a 4-day weekend, so I'll be able to map this weekend! Yay! Someone pick a theme! :) #1414 posted by Trinca [87.196.121.10] on 2005/11/21 14:50:28 nuclean war! Deadline! #1415 posted by Hrimfaxi [80.165.179.61] on 2005/11/21 15:55:38 Sure there must be a deadline. It can't matter that much if a map is in one pack or another. After all there are only 7 days between packs (Well most of the time 8-)) Sunday would be fine as the release day. Nice you jumped in and collected/hosted the maps Spirit! Zwiffle... #1416 posted by generic [71.1.3.85] on 2005/11/21 17:02:13 Thanksgiving is just the opposite for me -- I won't have any opportunity to do any mapping :( -- but I do have an idea for a theme. How about doing what I was working on for sm111, a space/runic metroid-inspired map that'd make you wish you could roll up into a little ball and drop bombs all over? Or maybe we all could take a stab at finishing that piece of a map Drew was working on? Yes. #1417 posted by Drew [216.168.118.13] on 2005/11/22 00:44:46 Actually I've got a couple. I could try to put a zip together before I leave, if I get around to it. Generic's Second Suggestion Sounds Interesting #1418 posted by negke [82.82.167.20] on 2005/11/22 04:55:03 "build a map based on one of drew's scraps" or something... S C R A P S #1419 posted by bambuz [130.233.243.228] on 2005/11/22 06:34:23 I support it. Push 'em up, Drew? (or mail to my gmail address, meizah, so I can mirror them) Btw hrim do you have lots of scraps? Okay #1420 posted by Drew [216.168.117.4] on 2005/11/22 11:38:55 I'll get that together. I guess I should include .map files and .bsp files in the zip? Oh #1421 posted by Drew [216.168.117.4] on 2005/11/22 11:39:45 Should I mail them to Bambuz, or Spirit, or what? 3 In A Row, Again. #1422 posted by Drew [216.168.117.4] on 2005/11/22 12:42:26 I mailed my zip to Spirit. Hopefully he'll put that shit up soon. I want to see the results, it would be very rewarding for me. ^ #1423 posted by null!ke [82.83.59.144] on 2005/11/22 12:58:31 damn, you're one kinky guy indeed... Bambuz #1424 posted by Hrimfaxi [80.165.179.61] on 2005/11/22 16:20:53 hrim do you have lots of scraps? No I hardly have any. The stuff I make allways seems to make it into a bigger map or I just finish it of as a small map. Zwiffle... #1425 posted by generic [71.1.12.179] on 2005/11/22 19:26:01 You have mail :) I haven't said that in a while. If you can't do something with it, could you please get it to someone who can. CHEERS! Aw Man #1426 posted by Zwiffle [69.210.50.142] on 2005/11/22 19:51:00 Swanky map. Too bad IT WILL NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY! I'm keeping it ALL to myself!!! MUAHAHAHA! Yepp #1427 posted by Spirit [213.39.186.111] on 2005/11/23 01:10:48 I upload the archive as sm112_drewscraps.zip since it is the theme or what? http://www.quaddicted.com/filebase... If I shall do the packaging again then the deadline will be Monday morning, 10am German time (that's GMT isn't it?). This is Sunday evening/night for America I think so it should be fair ;) #1428 posted by Trinca [194.65.31.249] on 2005/11/23 03:23:10 what is the theme??? iīm already at more than meadle of a map... but maby i will transform it into a big project in this one...so i still have time to respect a theme and start another one... if anybody pick one! German Time #1429 posted by bambuz [130.233.243.228] on 2005/11/23 05:22:06 is CET, aka GMT+1. So the speedmap package deadline is monday 9 am GMT. #1430 posted by Trinca [194.65.31.249] on 2005/11/23 05:40:55 since there is no theme i think this one will be my map... just a light of one part... http://trinca.no.sapo.pt/01.jpg Omg, Those Scraps Are Crazy! #1431 posted by negke [82.82.173.178] on 2005/11/24 05:08:06 trinca: the theme is to do something with drew's map scraps (spirit's link above). of course you're free to follow any other theme you want. drew: i'd say you should be forced to make a chainmap from all those scraps as a penalty theme for giving out so many huge and good-looking pieces! >:] #1432 posted by Trinca [194.65.31.249] on 2005/11/24 05:52:21 iīm making a big map but guess i whould not have time to finish untill monday i have so many idears in my head... :)i will try to finish... but will be big!!! but is not a speed map ~:( is taking me to long... I Like Being Punished. #1433 posted by Drew [207.61.218.133] on 2005/11/24 21:40:39 But I can't do much now. No time left for fucking inspiration! I've got to pack! You do it for me, mkay? Drew's Scraps #1434 posted by bambuz [130.233.243.228] on 2005/11/28 08:58:46 were far too good for my lowly mapperishness. So I didn't do anything this week. Gotta try the newest pack. Ha! #1435 posted by Spirit [213.39.203.26] on 2005/11/28 11:10:33 I hereby force "rescue mission" to be theme for the next session (thanks to Scampie for the idea). This theme offers a lot fresh (or not much used) ideas I think, like backtracking(?),rewarding and such. Deadline is next Monday, 9 am GMT again. Mail to spirit@quaddicted.com I'm only running speedmapping because no one else does, if you want to run a session yourself just speak. Upload to Quaddicted is possible for everyone :) Yeah #1436 posted by drew [66.79.224.158] on 2005/11/28 13:18:38 that's a beautiful idea. it brings tears to my eyes and so forth. seriously though. rescue mission theme is the shit. #1437 posted by Trinca [87.196.113.67] on 2005/11/30 13:13:21 this week i will pass...still working hard in my small project... :)i need to learn slowly and since jpl, gibbie and neg|ke help me a lot last week, this week i realy wany to make a good stuff...at least clean...

You Lazy Bums! #1441 posted by negke [82.82.170.196] on 2005/12/05 04:30:48 well, there have been single map packs before, mostly when nobody besides zwiffle mapped. if my map is only included in the next pack make sure the not selfimposed theme is mentioned (before anyone gets strange ideas :P) #1442 posted by Trinca [194.65.31.249] on 2005/12/05 04:52:13 eheheh if it was already single in otherīs smīs then relase the ******* map :) i need QUAKEKING! #1443 posted by Trinca [194.65.31.249] on 2005/12/05 05:16:33 spirit if deadline set to tomorow, i will try to make a fast map today at work and send it to you wend i get home tonight! Heh #1444 posted by Spirit [80.171.28.198] on 2005/12/05 05:44:09 I just released the pack :) What about next week's session/theme then? Or should there be a break? #1445 posted by Zwiffle [69.210.72.215] on 2005/12/05 06:14:31 I can start mapping again in a few weeks... 2 more weeks of classes then finals. THEN FREEDOM!!!!! #1446 posted by Trinca [194.65.31.249] on 2005/12/05 06:47:21 if people decided theme fast i can start a new one... but give me time to map :) iīm to slow... #1447 posted by Trinca [194.65.31.249] on 2005/12/07 08:09:09 no theme this week? Suggestions? #1448 posted by negke [82.82.163.183] on 2005/12/07 08:54:01 there've been so many... what about the "only one texture" thing? (metal4_2..) So #1449 posted by Spirit [213.39.173.22] on 2005/12/07 09:16:55 Do you want a session this week? I was a bit worried after last weeks "success"... There should be at least 3 people/map in my opinion. Otherwise it is not really what a "speedmapping session" is about, eh? I would love to have "art" as theme for some future session, just because sm48 was so awesome and I think "art" would encourage more such maps. Ha! neg!ke will decide this weeks theme, he deserves it :) Well, Ok. #1450 posted by negke [82.82.176.53] on 2005/12/08 10:24:04 let's do the "use only one texture" theme then! i suggest using a more detailed texture (eg. metal4_2, as i will), for it should have multiple stylistic elements that allow variations (trigger clip, skip don't count of course). be creative - rotate, scale, flip, align in a weird way and so on... we could do the "art" theme next week, although in my view it's too broad - every quake map is art eventually, isn't it? ;) maybe it should be narrowed down a bit. So Really #1451 posted by Zwiffle [129.89.143.171] on 2005/12/08 11:14:57 "Use only one texture" means geocomp? The design is in the brushwork and no so much in the textures, yes? Sort Of #1452 posted by negke [82.82.176.53] on 2005/12/08 11:29:21 but it's more about how you use the one texture you have - brushwork is of course one aspect, but the 'texturework' is what counts most here... dunno if it works, or if it's just a more restricted geocomp. let's just give it a try. Theme #1453 posted by metlslime [204.15.3.5] on 2005/12/08 12:32:39 If anyone did what I'm imagining, this would be a pretty cool theme. #1454 posted by Trinca [87.196.119.94] on 2005/12/08 13:02:35 letīs see i got a few things in ming :) a small map but intensive game play...saturday will make it!!! Metl #1455 posted by negke [82.83.61.244] on 2005/12/09 10:35:09 show us! it's about time you do some mapping again, anyway. ;) Ah, But... #1456 posted by metlslime [204.15.3.5] on 2005/12/09 13:15:51 I map every day at work. And i'm currently doing a sauerbraten map at home. What more do you jackals want?!?! Rubicon2 #1457 posted by Kell [82.41.10.46] on 2005/12/09 13:23:01 Yeah. #1458 posted by Drew [203.147.0.44] on 2005/12/09 21:33:04 not that I could play it right now. I want to make a 1 texture map. #1459 posted by Trinca [87.196.122.38] on 2005/12/10 01:39:36 sauerbraten map? is this a game? Trigger, Clip, Skip... #1460 posted by generic [71.1.1.205] on 2005/12/10 09:05:53 sky? Oh my! Is anyone using a sky tex besides their "one"? Well, I Don't #1461 posted by negke [82.83.36.202] on 2005/12/10 10:00:35 but what i meant by "trigger,.. don't count" was that you can freely use them besides the one visible texture Trinca: #1462 posted by metlslime [24.5.41.21] on 2005/12/10 15:02:41 http://www.sauerbraten.org/ I #1463 posted by bambuz [213.169.7.60] on 2005/12/10 17:00:41 didn't use any but that metal 1_4 or whatsit, the greyish thingy with the recessed skulls. Even for ceiling and clips and triggers etc. lighting with torches and flames. #1464 posted by Trinca [87.196.122.38] on 2005/12/10 17:02:21 metlslime i got cube install in my computer is a cool game... but never played online... Idea #1465 posted by bambuz [130.233.243.228] on 2005/12/12 10:27:24 How bout a speedmapping session from concept drawings (not 2d layout which has been done in the past)... someone said that published early concept drawings that don't lead to much final stuff seem to be all the rage nowadays. So let's swim against the trend and actualize some! Hey, Great Idea #1466 posted by negke [82.82.174.146] on 2005/12/12 11:36:54 do you have any particular drawings in mind? Yeah... #1467 posted by metlslime [204.15.3.5] on 2005/12/12 12:56:45 we had a related theme where we drew an intentionally vague layout sketch and people interpreted it the way they thought it was supposed to be. "Do Stuff Based On A Really Ugly Layout Drawing Scampie Did" #1468 posted by null!ke [82.82.174.146] on 2005/12/12 13:04:51 yeah, but that one would be somewhat different i guess... "Make A Map Based On Your Interpretation Of This Ink-blot" #1469 posted by Zwiffle [69.210.55.51] on 2005/12/12 14:12:34 How many Goatse maps would we get? #1470 posted by Trinca [194.65.31.249] on 2005/12/13 01:38:27 fuck i need more variacion in my maps... :( guess i have to make then smaller and more detailed :( but i like big hodes :( Concept Art? #1471 posted by generic [69.244.208.113] on 2005/12/15 09:17:06 Anyone?

I Would Support It #1473 posted by negke [82.83.39.217] on 2005/12/15 10:03:30 but i can't be arsed to find a suitable image. someone post a few examples and we'll then decide which one is to used...? #1474 posted by Trinca [194.65.31.249] on 2005/12/15 10:25:54 agree :) someone choose and i will give it a try saturday! Kell... #1475 posted by generic [69.244.208.113] on 2005/12/15 12:44:13 had some nice artwork for his DM maps. Perhaps he has some more lying about? #1476 posted by bambuz [213.169.25.32] on 2005/12/15 14:29:25 I tried making some but they turned out crap. If no-one will make better ones, I can put them out. Hints on how to draw with mouse? I don't have drawing talent, but I think I could improve... Concept Proposal For Sm115 #1477 posted by bambuz [213.169.2.157] on 2005/12/16 14:09:04 After the guys in irc said I should go ahead: Ziggurats are cool. Strange. They are huge very ancient stepped brick "pyramids" with a temple on top. Stair walkways led up there. It is rumored that the tower of Babel was actually a big ziggurat. They were most popular in the flat plains of Mesopotamia, thousands years BC. There are still some Ziggurats left, particularly in middle Iraq. Strange tales and cuneiform tablets telling of horrible dictators building these massive things. It is rumored that one ziggurat was entirely covered in blue stone. http://www.crystalinks.com/ziggura... http://i-cias.com/e.o/ill/ziggurat... this one is a big link: http://www.uned.es/geo-1-historia-... #1478 posted by Kell [82.41.10.46] on 2005/12/16 15:15:20 It is rumored that one ziggurat was entirely covered in blue stone.

Ok Made Mine #1481 posted by bambuz [213.169.2.157] on 2005/12/16 19:33:51 btw here are some color codes for a ziggurat: http://www.belteshazzar.com/articl... It's hard to get good monsters for that... medievals are too modern, hell this is supposed to be the bronze age. Not much wizmets suitable either. Kell? What is that? Did you have an old sketch or are you participating? Makes me bow down in shame. #1482 posted by Trinca [87.196.117.120] on 2005/12/17 02:04:03 i think the theme is so nice that we should release next week :p to make the maps litle better!

Hm #1494 posted by Spirit [213.39.211.63] on 2005/12/25 04:01:54 No idea :D I think there is no session this weekend. Theme Suggestions From Down Under #1495 posted by Drew [220.233.33.58] on 2005/12/27 01:57:17 In sydney now, can only enjoy sm vicariously through screenshots. Desert Half life Mountain Indiana Jones - I'm thinking about the part where he has to pass tests to move on. And about the part with the bad dates - work that in somehow. underwater beat the clock "Carrot tops last stand" Church Ugly ugly ugly map - pure "old skool" ugliness Nothing but a shotgun prison escape xmas theme? that's all I can think of. okay. ziggurats look cool. SM116 - Tricking Maps #1496 posted by Spirit [213.39.203.225] on 2006/01/01 06:07:05 Since adamllis already submitted a great trickjumping map, I set next sessions theme to "Tricking Maps". With stuff like grenade- and rocketjumps, circlejumps, slopejumps and whatever else. I don't know everything that is possible. Maybe there is some page explaining this stuff? If you use really hard/complicated tricks then maybe a trigger_once or _multiple with instructions for unexperienced players would be cool. Note that the maps have to be finishable with NQ progs! No QW bunnyhopping stuff please. Deadline is Monday morning, European time as usual. Send your maps to spirit@quaddicted.com QW Trick Archive #1497 posted by Spirit [213.39.203.225] on 2006/01/01 06:09:48 Maybe you find some inspiration on this site: http://koti.mbnet.fi/qwta/ (remember that these tricks are QW, not NQ!) =] #1498 posted by adamllis [66.61.60.51] on 2006/01/01 14:40:58 cool! =] #1499 posted by adamllis [66.61.60.51] on 2006/01/01 14:41:32 cool!

"Back To The Future" Theme #1632 posted by JPL [213.30.139.243] on 2006/04/19 03:13:34 Well, if you saw the moovie, it's self explanatory. Nevertheless, here follows how I see the stuff: The start with a teleport, using "new" textures, or at least base texture (you are in the "present") The map and the fights in an old-school way, using medieval/runic textures... (you are in the past)... get a key to come back And the return in "the future" at the same point: use the key to exit... Well... rather more than a scenario :P What do you think ? Or How About #1633 posted by bambuz [213.169.31.114] on 2006/04/19 06:26:13 making the whole of episode 1 in one map... maybe that'd better fit a turtlemap theme though.

Jpl #1635 posted by negke [82.83.4.127] on 2006/04/21 06:53:36 yes, why not. though one would have to think up something more intricate to avoid all maps from being equally generic. the future doesn't always have to be base - in this respect, what is the timeline of the quake sets?

FUCK!!! can the dead line be changed for next week??? i think this theme is very nice! and we might have more maps if it come to next week, but maby u already got 2 or 3 maps... let us now! *sob* And SM125 THEME #1646 posted by negke [82.83.10.251] on 2006/04/24 11:00:50 trinca, do you think you can manage to map tomorrow? i don't have a problem with waiting one or two days, but delaying the pack for another week is kind of bleh. so far, i only got one spaceship map (mine) and bam's sad easter one. of course you can also make a spaceship one and send it in for the next pack... generic, sm125 theme is "timelimit". maps that have to be completed in a limited amount of time (gameplay-wise) - if the player exceeds the limit, he has failed and cannot finish the map, or at least will have to do it without weapons/items and other annoying things... drew will never play quake again. #1647 posted by Trinca [85.88.130.59] on 2006/04/24 11:10:51 :\ is the chinese chicks take him all the power...eheheh i will try negke but tomorow is holly day in Portugal... if my kid give me some time to map i will try for sure i promiss!

A Pity #1650 posted by negke [82.82.183.95] on 2006/04/26 09:27:39 then i'll just release the pack now and you can finish your map without pressure until next week. btw. i already told you several times: get rid of her, by any means necessary! :D Trinca #1651 posted by JPL [82.234.167.238] on 2006/04/26 11:49:13 ROFLMAO !!!

Properly Lit Monsters In Space Maps #1655 posted by negke [82.82.163.4] on 2006/04/28 02:54:26 http://www.celephais.net/board/vie... Wow, I Don't Understand That At All #1656 posted by starbuck [86.138.87.238] on 2006/05/01 06:16:07 how does lighting a brush you've put partly inside a skybrush do anything to lighting values in the void? Maybe I've misunderstood, but I don't get why any of those steps was done (heh, apart from upscaling the textures on the black textured brushes) Starbuck #1657 posted by Kell [82.41.8.232] on 2006/05/01 16:20:15 Models in quake are lit by reading the lightmap value on the first solid ( non-entity ) surface directly below them. Flying monsters can therefore be floating very far above the ground, yet are lit not by the light level in the air around them but by the light level on the ground far far below. While it isn't a problem for non-flying monsters, for flying monster this can create a visual discrepency, the most marked difference being in void/space maps. Usually, a mapper will want the lighting on the architecture to fade to black down the sides towards the void, disguising the black brush at the bottom. This bottom brush has very little or no light hitting it. Preferably, as in "He Falls Like Lucifer", an actual skybrush will be used for the bottom of the void, which is even worse since sky texture has no lightmap at all. In either case, monsters flying out over the void will be lit with a lightmap value of zero, making them appear as solid black silhouettes. This looks bad if the surrounding higher-up architecture where the monster actually is has light sources here and there, and is really noticeable when a flying monster will move from above a lit surface out over the void. For example: in "Lucifer" the scrags might appear appropriately lit while hovering over one of the wooden walkways, but then drift slightly so they're now above the void; a drift of perhaps a few units but enough to change them to black silhouettes. As well as looking crap, it makes them a bastard to shoot. Placing a blackbrush inside the skybrush means that: 1. there is a lightmap under flying monsters even when they're out over the void 2. the brightness on that lightmap can be controlled by the mapper without affecting any other surface in the map 3. that lightmap will not be visible; a black void will remain black 4. the sky texture will remain visible, and will swallow projectiles that are fired down into the void HTH Dunno How Feasible This Is #1658 posted by scar3crow [151.141.78.174] on 2006/05/01 17:15:20 but one thing I would love to see, be it turtle or speedmapping... Are maps with an emphasis on cooperative gameplay. Larger packs of monsters where you need two players, or puzzles that involve two players to complete feasibly. I just think it would shake up the layouts and the processes one thinks through in designing a level. So. #1659 posted by Drew [202.76.133.174] on 2006/05/05 20:42:20 Is anyone doing the countdown theme? Or is it just Neg!ke?

I Would Map #1665 posted by Zwiffle [69.210.87.169] on 2006/05/10 13:48:00 But I got finals next week.

RECURSIVE ERROR!! Next Theme? #1675 posted by Drew [202.76.133.174] on 2006/05/19 18:58:46 What are you guys thinking? My ideas are: -western / desert -miniature ( like those DM maps in a big kitchen, etc.) and I still think my "classics tribute" idea would be a good one. Maybe for the anniversary celebrations. Actually, I think we should start brainstorming for Quakecon SM theme ideas now. I Mean #1676 posted by Drew [202.76.133.174] on 2006/05/19 19:33:52 Qexpo. Re-theming? #1677 posted by Drew [202.76.133.174] on 2006/05/28 00:46:34 you know what was a truly unmapped for SM theme? That one where you had to go through the level twice. Only one map for it. I think that would be one to re-do. In fact, it would be a great idea to re-do a bunch of old themes. How do you feel about that? #1678 posted by negke [82.83.44.146] on 2006/05/28 02:15:08 while there were some pretty nice themes in the past, re-doing them would probably be kind of lame. and if done, then at least with some modifications. has the play-it-twice theme really never been done after it was suggested? so why not, might be nice. Play It Twice #1679 posted by than [221.244.26.90] on 2006/05/28 21:54:14 is an awesome idea, esp. as you can make the player start at a new location using the episodegate (or whatever) ent and start2. Coupled with having weapons from the first time around, it could be really interesting. Maybe a good idea for turtlemaps to really get the best out of it though. Play It Twice #1680 posted by metlslime [71.202.21.157] on 2006/05/30 00:18:29 we did it, but nobody actually followed the theme except me. Sm74 It Was #1681 posted by negke [82.83.3.11] on 2006/05/31 06:21:47 necros' map was particularly outstanding. (at least now i don't have to do a 'real space map' anymore) :D since it has been done already, should we go for another theme. or what do you think? Well. #1682 posted by Drew [202.76.133.174] on 2006/06/02 19:46:45 I think the play thru twice should be re-done. Only mets did it, and his map was pretty bad-ass. I don't think it would be lame to re-do old themes, as long as people don't just re-hash and do the exact same thing as the last time. Oh - while I'm here... Than, CZG, other mapping geniuses who I'm forgetting - are you going to to SM's for the qexpo? Like celebrity mapping or something? #1683 posted by Drew [202.76.133.174] on 2006/06/02 19:52:02 I just about overdoesed on hyphens there. I've gotta learn to be more careful.

I'll fix it up and try to get it to you by Sunday evening for the themeless speedmap.

Is the current drought just due to people being to busy with their bigger better quake prokects? Or is that just wishful thinking. I love you Neg!ke. So does Jesus. Hmm #1700 posted by Zwiffle [69.210.77.30] on 2006/07/08 15:52:39 I was trying to do a speedmap in those neat-o Doom3 textures - it's all yellowy and cavernish. Unfortunately, I've been TOTALLY sidetracked by my shitload of unplayed games and the fact I have a lot of free time. I'll try to finish it later tonight, while grooving to Paramore and Mars Volta. I've been on an awesome streak in recent games, so it's hard to quit. Oh, and when Prey is released, good luck getting anyone to do anything for a while. That game is fucking crack. Themes #1701 posted by Drew [202.76.133.174] on 2006/07/09 18:53:00 - Underwater Ghost Town - Super Mario Brothers - Brokeback Mountain - prison break Qexpo Speedmapping #1702 posted by negke [82.82.179.123] on 2006/07/11 07:42:42 ok, i think there will be two sm sessions whose deadlines will be on the 21th and the 26th. #1 theme: i thought about "ten years later" - how did maps look back then, how do they look now (or how would one's favorite map look after a ten years of increasing skill overhaul), something like that. it's pretty open, so it may possibly make it easier for new people to hop on. #2 theme: no idea, yet. problem is that i have quite a load of rl shit to eat during that time, but will try to participate nevertheless and i hope even some of the sm elders will do so, as well. ;) as for the turtlemap thing: how much interest is there? i can't do one obviously, but of course i could collect the submissions. what about a theme? should it have a booth of its own? comment! Heros In A Half Shell! TURTLE POWER! #1703 posted by than [221.244.26.90] on 2006/07/11 09:13:56 Yeah, there should definitely be a 10 day turtlemap session! I am so up for it! I'm so going to make an ep 3 metal map with ogres and vores and nasty evil stuff! PLEASE! As for having its own booth, I don't think it is neccessary to keep turtle and speed maps separate, but if there were daily posts showing the progress of mappers working on TMs (a collection of pics in one post, not randomly scattered posts) then it would be pretty sweet. Having regular updates should help people stay focussed and motivated to get their little map in a kick ass map pack. If there were to be a theme for the TM, I would suggest classic Quake. Just do a take on an id style using the original textures or modifications of them. We could make a whole new episode if enough people wanted to join in. I'd guess making a decent id standard map would probably take about 10 days too. For The Turtlemap #1704 posted by Zwiffle [69.210.77.30] on 2006/07/11 09:18:52 If we could get a wee bit head start on that (since I'm picking up Prey today, I'd like as much time as I can get.) As for themes, I dunno. How about: "Tribute to Zwiffle" ? No? Well, I tried. But, based off of pure impulse, I'd like to do an Elder-world style map for some reason, but that may change. You might just NOT have a theme, and make it open category instead, but that could possibly be boring. I plan on participating, so hopefully I have the willpower to stay off of Prey for a couple hours a day to get some mapping in. As for the second SM theme, how about "Mini-Marcher" ? Agh #1705 posted by Zwiffle [69.210.77.30] on 2006/07/11 09:20:41 Than, stop posting while I'm trying to post my own post! I was thinking of an "episode" type thing, but figgered that would take too much effort and coordination. But, if he's doing Metal, and I'm doing elder-world, that leaves two open for the first two maps. #1706 posted by negke [82.82.179.123] on 2006/07/11 09:37:05 my only fear is that everbody doing a turtlemap will not participate in the sm events. :/ than's daily update idea is nice, but again depends on how many people would be in - surely wouldn't make much sense for only two maps (unless integrated into sm booth). "classic quake" theme is very appropriate regarding the situation (10y), open. i kind of wanted the sm themes to be related the anniversary thing. then again "mini-marcher" sounds cute, so it should definately be considered if there are no other suggestions. #1707 posted by Trinca [85.88.130.59] on 2006/07/11 09:48:50 my map is finish so i got time to start something :) u guys decide! BDSM&TM #1708 posted by R.P.G. [24.28.249.10] on 2006/07/11 11:48:30 I'd say keep both the SM and TM open themes, but provide a short (2-3) list of optional themes to give ideas. I'd Also Say #1709 posted by R.P.G. [24.28.249.10] on 2006/07/11 11:51:13 Classic Quake should definitely be a theme. RPG #1710 posted by negke [82.83.12.197] on 2006/07/11 12:24:10 afaik, sm themes have always been optional. just that it's more fun if the majority follows them. at any rate, i will mention that people are of course free not do follow them stricly. Cool #1711 posted by R.P.G. [24.28.249.10] on 2006/07/11 13:02:56 i will mention that people are of course free not do follow them stricly. Yeah, that's good. I know they're optional, but you're probably going to get people participating who are not familiar with speed maps, and might get turned off about the idea of themes, not knowing that they're totally optional. #1712 posted by Ankh [80.54.3.203] on 2006/07/11 13:29:52 After reading those last 15 posts I'm tempted very much to make an small speedmap. I'm on holidays between 17th and 30th of July. On the other hand my laptop crashed 3 days ago and I'm not used to map on my pc. Time will show. Turtle Map #1713 posted by than [221.244.26.90] on 2006/07/11 20:37:50 I say we set an id classic quake theme (basically just set it to an ep 1,2,3 or 4 theme using id textures or modifications to fit you map) and start it this weekend so that everyone has a couple of weekends to get their maps done. I'm fairly sure I won't be able to get my large map finished (AND tested) before QExpo is over, so I would like to work on something new for a couple of weeks so I have two maps for release instead of just one. an sm session is just an hour or two, so there should still be plenty of participants if the time is open for those not in GMT/EST/whatever. I am SO going to make an id metal (e1m6, ep3...) map. Than #1714 posted by bambuz [193.167.7.16] on 2006/07/12 05:15:15 I'm fairly confident you can get your large map (if it's the one I know of ;) ) ready in a week? For SP. I didn't spot a single misaligned tex. Hehe #1715 posted by than [221.244.26.90] on 2006/07/12 21:40:11 there are no misalignments I know of, but there were a few visual errors in that version (3 at least).

Are we linking them together anyhow, or just releasing a pack of turtlemaps? Trinca #1724 posted by than [221.244.26.90] on 2006/07/13 21:54:05 It's like a speedmap, but you get a week or so. I think the timelimit for QExpo is likely to be 10 days. This means that turtlemaps can be much more elaborate than speedmaps. More like a regular map I guess. #1725 posted by Trinca [85.88.130.59] on 2006/07/14 01:21:41 o.k already start one :) Speed Tortoise #1726 posted by generic [69.244.208.113] on 2006/07/14 09:57:42 Will the turtlemap deadline be the same as the second speedmap? I will try to enter all 3 events but I really haven't had time for anything fun as of late :( I am thinking that the second speedmap could be a "redux" of the first (sort of like the re-released "Apocalypse Now" movie). I Was Thinking #1727 posted by bambuz [213.169.27.224] on 2006/07/14 11:29:41 episode 1 in one speedmap. Maybe have three or four rooms or whatever you think you choose is something worth reminiscing / remembering / tributing / improvising from your memories of quake from 10 years beyond. :) And still of course some gameplay & progression, and u don't need cthon. Everybody could play those. :) #1728 posted by Trinca [87.196.165.61] on 2006/07/14 16:15:52 :p my turtle map that is in progress in full metal id base, speedmap will try make a ztndm3 texture stile with idbase textures... Hmm #1729 posted by negke [82.82.186.238] on 2006/07/14 16:30:16 tentative deadline for the turtlemap is the 27th, 12pm gmt. that would still give us some time to decide if it will be released just then or maybe turned into a mini-episode, hub or anything. not sure if that date/time is useful - we can change it if needed of course. redux theme doesn't sound that good to me. doing the same again, only longer? i was forced to watch apocalypse redux several times and while it's a good movie, it was soo exhausting each time... ;) bambuz' idea might work, but i'd suggest expanding it to all episodes (e1 offers the greatest textural variety though)? i set up the speedmapping/turtlemapping booth today, you will be able to comment on it on monday btw.

I seem to remember Scampie was mad that Xen tried to make maps that people would enjoy playing? Obviously he deserved worse than banishment, but what can you do? #1736 posted by Trinca [85.88.130.59] on 2006/07/18 03:42:00 than are u going to add skill settings? Trinca #1737 posted by than [221.244.26.90] on 2006/07/19 03:50:50 depends how much time I have - it isn't a big deal, so I will just try and make a playable map and worry about skill settings later. Reminder: Smqe06b #1738 posted by negke [82.83.50.209] on 2006/07/23 13:48:23 theme: "episode 1 in one map" (thanks bambuz) - 26th let's hope there are some more maps this time... ;) http://www.quakeexpo.com/booth.php... In My Defense #1739 posted by Scampie [67.129.250.254] on 2006/07/23 17:27:43 The arguement was over the fact that speedmapping was run by me solely for the enjoyment of the level designers involved. Xenon's point was that he didn't like mapping, he liked people playing his maps, which I felt was the wrong attitude for speedmaps. My point being, if you want people to enjoy your maps, take time and make a real map. If you want to have fun building wacky shit, make speedmaps. I don't think I ever told him to 'leave', but he did after that anyway. Scampie #1740 posted by bambuz [193.167.7.21] on 2006/07/24 04:34:54 I'm not opposed to your view. For me it's also like a way to learn since people don't expect that much quality from a speedmap, but still play and give feedback. If I had released a proper map back then last summer or so, it would have had all kinds of stupid probs I know how to avoid now. It's also fun to play some wacky maps. But whatever. I'm not at home much until mid august. Aw Come On #1741 posted by spd [213.170.89.98] on 2006/07/24 05:23:12 we all know that your point was !kb Xenon and his point was "OMG drama! I quit /del the entire site" beating dead xen.. er horse, sry :) #1742 posted by Drew [203.87.20.41] on 2006/07/26 18:42:28 I think both of you guys were a bit over the top - though I think that's par for the course with Scampie. Not in a bad way, necessarily. I have to admit that I was surprised by xen's reaction though - not too happy with it either because I realy enjoyed the maps he'd been making right before he left... Sorry!

I just didn't really have time or motivation to work on it over qexpo, and haven't really been mapping hard since either (despite my nick in irc almost always being than|mapping - than is often taken).

Scampie did though... check the archives... or was it for Q3. bear did an interesting animal love one once if I remember correctly.

Huh? #1753 posted by Drew [202.126.96.62] on 2006/08/04 19:07:37 Uhm, I was referring to Text_Fish's SM nomination. I don't think anyone should try to top Bears Animal Love SM. Except Madfox, maybe.

UNlinnear - really wide open, many different paths, or perhaps whole sections that need not be seen? Obviously not very SM friendly in all regards, but if one focused on content over quality it could be nice and doomy. not saying doomy lacked quality. sorry. forgive me. #1766 posted by Trinca [87.196.174.171] on 2006/08/24 07:17:37 bacl from holidays! guess is everybody in vacacion!!! i might have time for a speedmap!!! so whats the theme???

"a strange building on a snail" or any other strange animal. inspired by this http://conceptart.org/forums/showt... . zwiffle mentioned it might be too difficult for a speedmap, but i guess he only wanted me to shut up/fuck off/die. i'd say sm127=1024ģ (deadline sunday, 1 oct) - unless it hasn't been done already - and sm128=snailbuilding (deadline sunday, 7 oct). let's go?

I made a 1024x1024x1024 brush and the outer walls are outside that space. Is that ok? From Neg!ke's Discription #1775 posted by HeadThump [4.136.111.104] on 2006/09/21 06:21:48 you can use the brush work out of the 1024-xyz zone for decorations and the like, so long as the player is confined within the inner area. And #1776 posted by R.P.G. [65.188.147.21] on 2006/09/21 08:23:15 It's only a theme. We're not going to draw and quarter you and spread your parts all across Britain if the player can get outside the 1024 boundary. :) #1777 posted by Trinca [85.88.130.59] on 2006/09/21 09:57:21 i hate the theme and neg|ke :+) i will pass this one! and keep working in my base map :\ still have to loose many hours...

Scampie Again ?? #1808 posted by JPL [82.234.167.238] on 2006/10/13 11:33:05 I had some explanations from Trinca, via email, and it seems that Scampie (again ?.. but not the only one) is the source of Trinca's disappointement... I don't know what happened exactely between these 2 guys, but it is not the first time I hear that Scampie is flaming somebody with no particular reasons... just because he is not in a good mod. I know that the internet is not a place of Heaven, but please guys, would it be possible to be fair this time ? Voodoo already experiment stupid comments on his mother some months ago (maybe more than a year now), and he was about to leave definitively (BTW, we don't see him much more...) I react because everybody is complaining the Quake community have less and less active members. And when a new guy comes, he is flamed because he is not as good as pro mappers... or because he doesn't speak a perfect english... WTF !! Come on, be serious !! Don't you remember how bad you were when you started mapping.. So please be indulgent, and particularly with interested people that have a self-commitement to Quake mapping as Trinca has.. I don't think he deserve this attitude, and I don't think it is the right attitude to let our community growing... I know it is not a popularity contest, but rather than writing: "your map sucks", it is very negative, I'd rather prefer to write: "well, it's not perfect and you have to improve this and that..." it is much more constructive, and really helps people to improve themself... If some people want elitism, so they should go to game industry, and let other guys, that take mapping as a hobby, to have fun with their "crappy" maps.... In anyway, I seriously hope that trinca will not leave the forum, because as of today, I think he was the most prolific mappers I saw (with all other speedmappers) from a long time... I think everybody should think about it. Well Said JPL. #1809 posted by Text_Fish [82.32.1.90] on 2006/10/13 11:55:49 To be honest I don't see flaming or elitism very much in the creative side of the Quake community [possibly because I'm not involved enough, who knows] but whenever I have witnessed it I've noticed it coming from jaded veterans who seem to have lost the passion they once had for mapping and now just sit around jealously slagging people off for the most ridiculous things. The main thing to remember if you're on the recieving end of such vitriol is that those people don't matter any more. The only reason they're so aggressive is because they have nothing to offer the community any more -- or at least they feel they don't. It doesn't matter how well respected somebody once was -- their opinion will only matter for as long as they take a positive and active part in the community. Because lets face it, no community needs negativity. Trinca, I really think you should stick around because you produce fun maps and you're a nice bloke as well. I'm sure the same can't be said for a lot of the more negative members of the community, so if anything, they're the ones that should leave. #1810 posted by Trinca [87.196.163.11] on 2006/10/13 11:56:14 Headthrump is another Quaker that dont go to #terrafusion in Quakenet becouse of same kid... but nobody makes anything he ruless... 2 days ago ban inertia and voodo just becouse it feel like... fucking creap never was a good mapper all the stuff he made for Quake was CRAP and think he is something... yes is a STUPID KID! ohhhh sorry John Fitzgibbons u are also a great guy :) sorry Stop Irc Drama! #1811 posted by Spirit [80.171.95.138] on 2006/10/13 12:19:11 I totally agree with JPL's and Text_Fish' posts. But Trinca, don't flame here. I know Scampie and you kinda hate each other but don't make a "chick fight"(?). Strife does not work well in messageboards, especially when it comes from a chat. Argueing here will only leads to confusion and bad vibes. Discuss, don't fight. I saw Scampie say something in #tf maybe 3 times while I was there (and I was quite regularly). I think that the #tf community should not accept someone being non-part anymore and then acting like this in such a high position (owner flag in the channel, no?). Bit More To It Than That #1812 posted by HeadThump [4.136.111.18] on 2006/10/13 13:12:52 Headthrump is another Quaker that dont go to #terrafusion in Quakenet becouse of same kid... I've had a few run ins with Scampie here, but nothing I didn't shrug off in a few hours because I don't hold grudges. I'll just leave it at this, Scampie is a complicated individual. One of the reasons I don't go to #terrafusion is because I can be kicked off. I just wont put myself in any type of vulnerable position. Another reason is I spent a great deal of time in Mirc back in the nineties and it was effecting the productive side of my lifestyle, so I quit it cold turkey a long time ago. Having said that though, after a seven year gap, I have started going to the QuakeC channel on occassion because I've noticed some interesting individuals associated with Inside3d have been coming here in recent months. #1813 posted by Trinca [87.196.163.11] on 2006/10/13 14:27:49 ok is over! no more comments about this! iīm decided... i will not go anymore to terrafusion untill scampie leave the channel! I Could Have Made At Least 5-6 Maps In The Time I Spent In Irc. #1814 posted by R.P.G. [65.188.147.21] on 2006/10/13 15:24:50 I think a better solution (at least for me) is to hang out on Func instead and make maps and try to kindle the community here. I became a lot more productive after I stopped going to TF; though that productivity has usually been channeled into non-mapping fronts. I keep up with most of the people that I want to through IM, e-mail, and whatnot. #1815 posted by Trinca [87.196.163.11] on 2006/10/13 16:11:32 talking about normal stuff again i will not make any speedmap Trinca #1816 posted by JPL [82.234.167.238] on 2006/10/14 00:25:27 You took the good decision..

There Are Some Fun And Wacky People On Terrafusion #1819 posted by bambuz [213.169.29.76] on 2006/10/15 13:32:06 sometimes also scampie is one of them with all his instant kicking of people but it's kinda gotten old, although I haven't been there for long and not much lately either. I don't know if there are many here who have not been kickbanned by him or anyone else. But for the most part people just don't care, it'd be such a chore to move someplace else and mostly the discussions are less than two comments per person and then break into incoherence. I think we are dealing with "artistic" types here and terrafusion is often the only channel in my list where something remotely stimulating happens, others are just plain boring. Maybe it wouldn't be the same if there wasn't that occasional shit, it's really the only of my channels that has any problems either. It's also rare that such a diverse channel gives ops to practically all people. That and the nature of people tends to add to the unstability. I don't really know if scampie can be seen as a stabilizing or destabilizing force as a whole. Mostly it's just absurd, although it kinda disturbs.

December SPEEDMOPPING #1856 posted by negke [82.82.160.32] on 2006/11/25 00:34:09 the first speedmopping (speedmodding meets speedmapping) event takes places in the first week of december, starting at 12pm EST. teams will be random; the theme is announced once the event starts. if you like to participate (you better do!), give word here or in this thread: http://forums.inside3d.com/viewtop... Re: Speedmopping #1857 posted by Text_Fish [82.32.1.90] on 2006/11/25 03:34:57 Personally I'll be busy with my Base map for some time, but wouldn't it be more sensible to do it a little later in December [or early in January] when people are more likely to have some time off work/education for the holiday season? I'm not a member of inside3D, so just figured I'd post that here incase one of the event organisers sees it and thinks it makes sense. :) #1858 posted by Zwiffle [69.210.47.13] on 2006/11/25 07:57:29 Yeah the first week is NOT going to work for me. That's like crunch time for school for me. After the week of the 17th I'll be done with school and I'll have plenty of time (ie, exams + paper next week, 2 programs due after that, homework, + finals.)If there is anyway to push it back later, I'd totally love to do a Lolo mod with Asaki.

Chainmapping #1914 posted by PuLSaR [62.183.2.95] on 2007/01/27 09:56:04 what about finishing sm100(I think)? I remember there was a Knave themed speedchainmapping session quite a long time ago. Is there any progress with it? Sm100 #1915 posted by negke [82.83.61.144] on 2007/01/27 10:01:32 i tried to give it a shot some time ago but the pieces just suck too much (are too incompatible) to be put together in a proper way, in my view. Well #1916 posted by PuLSaR [85.172.20.123] on 2007/01/27 10:31:49 there was a base chainmap (sm32 probably) where the author said in the readme file that most of brushwork (about 80%) was made by himself, while the rest (about 20%) were those real speedchainmap pieces. And that map was very good. Does anyone want to do something like that? #1917 posted by Trinca [89.180.55.104] on 2007/01/27 13:35:43 i want to participate!!! speedmaps are ugly :) prefer make a proper peace!!! i dont map good and fast, only slow and normal...

I meant it more to be like "see what looks like a good texture combo in the editor and then properly convert textures individually as needed."

I didn't think the others would be keen on seeing "this section based loosely on brushwork created by such-and-such or so-and-so." But, then again, I could have been wrong ;) #1923 posted by Drew [198.53.40.232] on 2007/01/28 20:11:36 I think that's what Than did with SM_32. I honestly wouldn't have cared as long as the end product was fun... Not that I contributed. Sm32 #1924 posted by than [220.47.251.83] on 2007/01/29 01:03:45 Yeah, I modified people's stuff a bit. I had to rebuild Gibbies because it was on a floating point grid and as such came off the grid and messed up when it went into WC. RPG's section also had some minor alterations and Nightbringer's was tweaked quite a lot. That said, none of the other author's areas were changed drastically from what I received aside from being mirrored or flipped to make a better layout - they were all visually faithful to what I started with - just with bugs fixed and things tidied up. I also added a few crappy rooms in between some of the areas to connect them. We need another speedchainmap. #1925 posted by metlslime [69.181.182.38] on 2007/01/29 04:04:16 We need another speedchainmap. (psst. RPG.)

It would be cool to have a meet up if things work out. Aren't there other func/tf people in the San Francisco area? Does killjoy still live in the around there? Well #1934 posted by Zwiffle [67.53.148.10] on 2007/01/30 04:59:45 As for other textures, I'm always partial to Knave! Although SM100's chainmap didn't work out too well, possibly the textures contributed to it. Also, can we make the chainmap Quoth-required? It's too good a mod to pass up. Also also, perhaps another reason SM100 was unsuccessful was because of a lack of rules; Scampie used to set some rules for his chainmaps (if I remember correctly) like each area needs at least 2 exits, and each exit needs to be <exact number of units> wide, this way to ensure some sort of compatibility between pieces and whatnot. Just some ideas. RPG: #1935 posted by metlslime [204.15.3.5] on 2007/01/30 20:33:35 Killjoy is in SF I think, but I lost touch with him a few years ago. I don't know of any other #tf people that live here. (I think ydnar lives here but he's not #tf and I don't know him personally) Well #1936 posted by R.P.G. [65.188.147.21] on 2007/01/30 23:28:22 I don't know what my schedule is going to be yet, but if you want to get a beer or something (or do some chainmapping ^_~) I can let you know when the date gets closer. I think the conference is only active from 9am-5pm, so that leaves plenty of time to get into trouble. For Chainmaps... #1937 posted by generic [76.3.9.219] on 2007/02/01 14:22:24 I think some rules are essential, as long as they aren't too specific. Having 2 entrances/exits is a good requirement -- even specifying the size -- for middle sections. This leaves the map assembler some options for start and end sections. For sm100, there could have been an additional requirement of using the knave prefabs for entrances/exits that might have helped. The only problem I had with the sm100 wad was that there weren't any rock textures ;) ... #1938 posted by PuLSaR [62.183.3.9] on 2007/02/01 16:39:38 The only problem I had with the sm100 wad was that there weren't any rock textures ;) The most important problem I had with sm100 wad was that there weren't enough textures for me (as I usualy use tons of texes in my maps). The ones that were selected for that wad weren't satisfying for me, knave has lots of great textures but most of them didn't appear in sm100.wad SM133 Theme #1939 posted by negke [82.83.53.84] on 2007/02/06 10:11:58 "machinery" futuristic, medieval, alien, anything i also had the odd idea of some "weirded out"-like theme for sm134: supplying a wad with an odd mix of non-together-fitting ;) textures to get some really strange looking maps. or some super fugly ones...

If you haven't made any then maybe just use id source or use the source of another mappers level. That way you get the whole time to concentrate on making fun gameplay and the visuals are already taken care of. I know much of the fun of mapping comes from building geometry, but this might be a fun change. Also, how about rerouting an id sp map to have different gameplay? Maybe that's more of a turtlemap project to do nicely. I mention this because I am currently making a quick conversion to Quake of an old q2dm map I made and will be adding sp gameplay to it when it's built because I know nobody will bother to play it otherwise. I've also still got plans to work on sp conversions of all the id dm maps at some time, but I have a lot of other maps that need building first :) Lego Theme? #2004 posted by negke [82.82.183.184] on 2007/05/12 21:53:33 http://shub-hub.quaddicted.com/fil...

So how about the following theme: Use cheats you fuckers I give a fuck about balancing this thing. Silly fugly textures and more than 100 monsters. Not to forget gameplay that feels like cleaning your toilet after diarrhae. I mean very stupid and fun maps that entertain you in a wonderful goofy and meaningless way. "fuck you this is no theme and it's silly" I had some certain speedmap in my mind, by necros I think, it was quite like sm26_necros but with swimming and way more weird. sm48_crap (the map with the hotdog) should be good inspiration too. Here are some inspirational shots: http://pauk.fov120.com/speedmaps/i... http://pauk.fov120.com/speedmaps/i... http://pauk.fov120.com/speedmaps/i... http://pauk.fov120.com/speedmaps/i... http://pauk.fov120.com/speedmaps/i...

Stupid Enemies #2018 posted by ijed [201.222.201.238] on 2007/08/15 07:57:12 Yet again I won't participate, but: Why not make maps where enemies are purposefully stupid; infighting, attacking walls etc. The challenge is to make it fun to play. Whilst exploiting the 'AI' of Quake to make the enemies act dumb. er. ? I Like That #2019 posted by inertia [24.164.73.173] on 2007/08/15 12:01:57 1) Teleport 20 shamblers into a space around the player. 2) The player has a heart attack when this happens (good). 3) Immediately cause the shamblers to start infighting. 4) Wait 20 seconds. 5) The ceiling instantly smashes the player, doing 99999 damage. 6) ???? 7) LOL!! #2020 posted by Zwiffle [67.53.148.10] on 2007/08/15 19:07:52 I thought monsters of the same species couldn't infight. #2021 posted by inertia [24.164.73.173] on 2007/08/15 20:36:13 Ever seen two grunts fight?

I mean, I actually try to map in a very short time window (like 60-120 minutes) and there is no time for monster tricks/perfection etc. I rather spent my time on getting better with the brushwork. I Agree... #2028 posted by generic [71.1.70.3] on 2007/08/17 13:29:08 Crappy AI is already a feature and not a speedmapping theme ;) How about no monsters?

Or, a better idea: make the interior of each room different and distinct. #2036 posted by ijed [216.241.20.2] on 2007/08/20 22:27:07 The main thing about the Cube film was the traps though, and I'm not sure how easy that'd be to implement, as well as figuring the route out and the change intervals of the rooms themselves. Or it could be made along the lines of The Cube 2 - makes no sense, just plain stupid and badly planned.

Early morning for me when I read the post. Ah well, it's rolling so I'm going to carry on. A load of book references basicly. As to my 'real' song title for another to build off: "Perhaps Vampires is A bit Strong" (Arctic Monkeys). Bah, maybe the theme name should be 'mapper descriptions that ijed mistook for song titles'. In Fact #2173 posted by ijed [190.20.104.254] on 2007/11/10 16:44:27 Just throw me a song title and I'l mangle it in there somehow.

I <i>can</i> Finish Today #2174 posted by ijed [190.20.104.254] on 2007/11/10 16:54:12 but it'll be a better pack if there's more involved, obviously.

Anyone got an .fgd for the original TC? Song Title's - What kind of theme was that?!?!?! Trinca Mapping at work, now theres a (risky) idea!! RickyT23 #2183 posted by ijed [190.20.123.144] on 2007/11/11 15:58:52 Read the docs for aliens - AFAIK it's pretty simple, something like place an Ogre and it becomes alien type X. You can also modify a fgd very easily - just open it in a decent text editor (only use wordpad if you're very patient) and you'll figure it out with a bit of trial and error. Song Title theme is not dead - I just scotched that particular session, although it still produced two maps. Actually... #2184 posted by RickyT23 [217.44.37.26] on 2007/11/12 10:48:07 I think the theme was irrelevant. You guys just wanted to make a speedmap!! fgds - I had to change one once cause it didnt have a default 'light' key for lights!! As for aliens mapping - I'll have to try it (after I've made my current one) Song Title #2185 posted by efdat [89.182.182.244] on 2007/11/12 17:18:00 ijed and i agreed that it would be nicer to have song title as the theme for a turtlemap session. rules would be: you're given a song title by another participant and build a map that fits that (whole) song. who'd be in? Song Title... #2186 posted by generic [98.192.129.54] on 2007/11/12 17:22:32 Could be interesting. I would give it a shot if it fits my schedule. By whole song, do you mean lyrics too? Song Title #2187 posted by efdat [89.182.4.191] on 2007/11/13 09:30:04 generic: yes. you'd do a map that tries to catch the atmosphere of the complete piece. i would leave it up to each mapper if including lyrics helps this purpose or not... Its An Interesting Challenge #2188 posted by ijed [216.241.20.2] on 2007/11/13 13:24:10 Because someone else chooses the music. I can think of maybe five or six tracks I'd like to base a map around, and many of the best maps and packs have been made to a track or album. I'm pretty sure czg made Insomnia to Enter Sandman, at least in part anyway - ? And if someone else chooses the track then it means that they want to make a map whilst listening to it, so it calls for some mutability on the part of the end mapper to extract the same good idea, or thier own version at least. Uh, No, I Hate Metal. #2189 posted by czg [213.115.252.84] on 2007/11/13 13:32:15 Fair Enough #2190 posted by ijed [216.241.20.2] on 2007/11/13 14:34:01 It was the sandman intro story that made me think that. In Fact It Was Some Echii J-Pop #2191 posted by negke [82.83.5.128] on 2007/11/13 20:30:19 OK, I got a penpal map by ijed and a nick map by efdat. Shall I release the pack, or what? I'm not going to wait until January, you will surely find a few hours earlier, unless you're going for that turtlemap thing or whatever. Song suggestion in any case: Aimee Mann (remix) - It's not going to suck if you wise up ;) Neg!ke: Yes, Put It Out #2192 posted by efdat [89.182.183.172] on 2007/11/13 21:27:47 the two maps are the result of a speedmap session but don't have a common theme (except for: the misunderstanding) Ok, #2193 posted by ijed [216.241.20.2] on 2007/11/19 17:27:33 The song = map turtlemapping session lives. We're thinking over the Christmas holiday and make it a week time limit to build the map. Each mapper is given a song by another, which they have to incorporate somehow into their map, this should be thematically and have as many references as possible - that's the challenge. So far myself and efdat are in, and I'm hoping for around four or five mappers to put together a decent sized xmas pack. This week or two to recruit mappers and a week for the challenge / competition / event to last - producing a map pack in time for Santa's arrival. Any takers? I was going to post this as news but that seemed a bit premature. Such A Thing Would Have To Go In A Discussion Thread Anyway #2194 posted by negke [82.82.182.217] on 2007/11/19 19:36:41 I'm mildly tempted, but I can't say anything definite at the moment (a lot of stuff on my schedule for the xmas holidays). Yep #2195 posted by ijed [216.241.20.2] on 2007/11/19 20:21:36 Release gets its own thread. And the idea is some relaxed turtle mapping with a Christmas present to play through at the end. Like I say this is the recruitment week - if nobody has the time until after Christmas it can be shifted - we're not talking a mod or anything complex and requiring serious commitment. #2196 posted by negke [82.82.182.217] on 2007/11/19 20:42:14 I meant starting a discussion thread in which the details on theme, time, participants etc could be discussed - since this is a mapping event of its own. Important question: Can we please base it on Quoth2???? >:D Nah #2197 posted by ijed [216.241.20.2] on 2007/11/19 20:54:15 Quoth III is where the real goods are. Bouhahahah #2198 posted by JPL [82.234.167.238] on 2007/11/19 21:07:44 post #2196 is THE joke of the yera ! Re: The Song Map Event #2199 posted by Omus [131.227.230.228] on 2007/11/23 08:36:30 Are people going to be providing links to the songs themselves, in case you get given some obscure crap no-one's ever heard of? . . . #2200 posted by ijed [216.241.20.2] on 2007/11/23 13:03:51 Well the person who chooses the track will most likely have it in at least some format or know how to get hold of it - even if they have to bang it out on a rusty banjo. I don't see it being much of a problem; ten minutes and you've found just about any track you know the name and artist of - which would have to be the minimum requirement for choosing a song. Im Curious About This Idea: #2201 posted by RickyT23 [217.44.37.26] on 2007/11/23 13:17:26 How would you implement the song title into the level design at all? Are you all planning on: a) Making the larger layout of the map spell the song title b) Using the contents of the song theme to influence the 'order of events' that occur within the level? e.g. 'Knockin' on Heavens Door' - Have the player have to open a heavenly style door with only an axe (?) for example? c) A combination of the above d) other (Please Specify) That's Up To The Mapper #2202 posted by ijed [216.241.20.2] on 2007/11/23 13:54:05 But there must be some reference. The ideal is that someone coming to the map without knowing what track it was made from should be reminded of that track (and not just because it's in the title). I know what track I'll be nominating; luckily it mentions a place, which'll make it easier, but any track will do. The real challenge is if someone chooses a song that has nothing to do with Quake's traditional theme. Disco funk, ballroom, industrial techno, orchestral, hip-hop the list goes on. Timesplitters 2 type disco, decrepit ballroom, decaying base . . . The idea is not to fuck over the person you're choosing the song for, but to promote a new twist on Quake. It's not really doable for a speedmapping session, which is why it's turtlemapping instead (a week). Time For A Turtle Map #2203 posted by HeadThump [4.136.90.162] on 2007/12/05 20:16:12 Shambler's right: Someone Release a Q1 SP map please thx. There has been a bit of inactivity on the board of late. So, I'm going to make a Turtle map for the Holiday season using the Zerstörer QuakeC Development Kit which can be found here: http://www.gamers.org/pub/idgames2... Anyone is welcome to join me on this one for a Turtlemap pack. Due date is Sunday, Dec 16 1200 pm EST (East Coast Time) I believe that's 5:00 AM Dec 17 Greenwhich time. Our daylight savings may throw that off by an hour. How Does This Turtle Map Thingie Work? #2204 posted by Ankh [192.100.124.219] on 2007/12/05 20:46:36 I Would Suggest #2205 posted by HeadThump [4.136.111.26] on 2007/12/05 21:13:43 downloading Zerstörer and reading through SDK. Experiment with its entity set and that should spark some ideas. Read through the developer log as well, since some things are only documented there. If you have Quark study the maps from Zerstörer to see how the original team handled the entity properties. I left out this bit in the announcement: You can find the address to send it to in my info on the People page http://www.celephais.net/board/peo... Ankh #2206 posted by ijed [216.241.20.2] on 2007/12/05 22:02:09 Same as a speedmap, but a longer time limit. #2207 posted by Trinca [89.180.27.109] on 2007/12/05 22:48:35 i want to progress in my maps :\ not much with will to make a zertoer map... honestly! sorry #2208 posted by Trinca [89.180.27.109] on 2007/12/05 22:49:29 anyway!!! HeadThump dont you have a SOE map to finish? :p Heh,heh #2209 posted by HeadThump [4.136.111.62] on 2007/12/05 22:55:20 HeadThump dont you have a SOE map to finish? :p I need a release for the calender year 2007. I'm less picky when it comes to speed/turtle maps. Also, I'll create a .def file for the Quakeed entity matters this weekend. Expect that by Saturday. I'm not sure about an .fgd file though. Aren't they basically the same file, different extension? #2210 posted by Trinca [89.180.27.109] on 2007/12/05 22:56:17 i use Quark ;) .fgd dont work for me ;) #2211 posted by Trinca [89.180.27.109] on 2007/12/05 22:57:16 if my boss dont piss me up much this next 15 days i might finish my Maya map before end of year! i might work a litle at home to... I'll Look Into It #2212 posted by HeadThump [4.136.111.62] on 2007/12/05 23:07:31 I think Quark actually converts .fgd and .def files to its native format by importing them. I'll have to try it out and see if it works that way. #2213 posted by Trinca [89.180.27.109] on 2007/12/06 00:30:54 i dont have any idear... :\ I Got Home #2214 posted by HeadThump [4.136.90.161] on 2007/12/06 01:43:50 and pulled Quark up, yeap, and the latest version supports both types. Look for Convert From in the file menu and find the def or fgd file on your harddrive and Quark takes care of the rest. Zer FGD? #2215 posted by generic [71.1.71.88] on 2007/12/09 20:10:19 This file used to be available in a FGD pack on the Worldcraft website. Does anyone else happen to have a copy to share? #2216 posted by Trinca [89.180.89.242] on 2007/12/09 22:17:43 generic_maps headtrhump said he was going to make it Generic #2217 posted by HeadThump [4.136.111.99] on 2007/12/10 01:05:44 Bum knee injury kept me medicated yesterday. I'm looking into the fgd matter right now. Found It #2218 posted by HeadThump [4.136.111.99] on 2007/12/10 01:16:39 it is bundled in this zip -- http://www.gamers.org/pub/idgames2... it has an extension of .x after the .fgd. Just remove the .x and it'll function normally. Oh, And #2219 posted by HeadThump [4.136.111.99] on 2007/12/10 01:17:47 if anyone needs a .def let me know, I'm looking through the fgd file for any additions not included in the sdk for my own def file.

How far is yours? I Hope That 'C' #2222 posted by HeadThump [4.136.90.233] on 2007/12/13 22:51:03 was an accident there! My map is butt ass ugly, but playable. If extending it a week or two will get us a Neg!ke map for the pack, I'm all for it. Plus it might give me the chance to salvage the aesthetics of my map.

It won't take more than seven days in total, but due to other chores, I can't continue working on it until Wednesday or so. Therefore Chrismas day sounds fine - at least it would make for some proper presents for a change. ;) Any other people working on a ZerTM right now? Um #2225 posted by Shambler [82.47.200.179] on 2007/12/14 10:12:48 Go speedmap the lot of you. #2226 posted by Trinca [89.181.64.113] on 2007/12/14 20:38:57 not me :( gibbie and czg made me feel bad :| after i finish my Maya map i will quit mapping!

Trinca, don't let other people tell you what should or should not be in your maps. I learned that awhile ago, and even though most people hate me for it I still go on mapping and enjoy it. So don't take offense to what a few knuckle heads say. There are plenty of people that enjoy your work, myself included. Yep #2229 posted by RickyT23 [217.44.37.26] on 2007/12/15 15:34:14 Its true Trinca! Your maps rock!

On my end, I can see doing some fiddling up until the middle of the day on the 25th, keeping my fingers cross familial and friendial engagements over the next two days don't distract me. Meh #2234 posted by negke [82.82.187.86] on 2007/12/24 09:47:32 I can't make it, sorry. Some things took longer than expected and I also got carried away a little with others. Now there are still 2.5 areas and the complete SP item placement to be done. I don't know if I can work on it the next few days, visiting family and all (I'll be bringing my Quake stuff of course), so if you two are ready, feel free to release your maps over Christmas. I'll try to get my Zer™ done by the end of the year.

Efdat, Neg|ke #2236 posted by HeadThump [4.136.90.85] on 2007/12/24 17:02:43 Let's do that then. The more maps the better. Truth is I'll have to bend to social pressure too since Christmas is the one time of the year (oh, and my birthday) alienating my friends and family means fewer presents for me.

(There was a cool flamethrower in the Killer Quake Mod thingy if I remember correctly) Oh wont someone do some progs for Quoth PG + Flamethrower? Or even just use Quoth, or just Quake, or Aliens TC (I think gameplay would be better with Quoth) or whatelse? Doom Barron? L0l! - Or how about a "recreate your fave ever picasso" map sesh? eh?

I wasn't talking about a remake, just something following the principle because it's fast and easy to do. People will complain like hell, or ask for theme ideas, and when you post some, they'll ask you if you take drugs. Or complain. apparently many ppl would rather have no maps than something that isn't super-creative but WORKS. What is it with this community... Lefler's Law: You gotta go with what works! We can't do Prey or Unreal 3 or Halflife-whatever here... suggest some themes at least, and if there are some good suggestions, I might pick one! Otherwise I might just do an id remake (oh noes!!!) I know you aren't normally so negative bambuz, and you aren't the only one, but sometimes I just think WTF? Would you rather play DM3 for the rest of... oh wait. I think there was already some speedmap event with penises btw. If we rule out Marcher remakes, id remakes, Q3/Q2 remakes, Warpspasm remakes, Monsterfree remakes, Doom3 remakes, idbase maps (there must be 1000's of them), Zerstörer remakes, Q3: Arena remakes etc, then we can trash the last 20 maps... at least... While we are at it, let's rule out Egyptian maps, temple maps, sewer maps, winter maps, Knave maps (ugh), spaceship maps, coagula maps... I can't see them anymore... so what do we do? Should we make tree models for Quoth and do sunny landscapes with bunnies? zombie trees? what's left? shouldn't we just do something that works?

I might even postpone my e4m1 remake and join in, do a killer mid-evil map or whatever! I thought it was a bit unfair that the Remix mapping challenge was non-quoth.

I'm sure I have like a huge cultural deficit there, but I just don't care enough. I did read walkthroughs and reviews etc though so I have some idea what it is like. I'd be fine with a remake or parody of another game though, in general. Problem is I probably played more console games than PC games in the past 10 years. Most of those would be impossible to recreate in Quake, like all those Resident Evil/TR clones and Final Fantasy ripoffs... Diablo 1? Should be doable, atmosphere, dungeon construction etc, healing shrines etc... even town portal... only part we can't do is the selling and buying... and spells... The dungeon should be pretty easy to reproduce. The town would just be decorative, although we could have funny messages and even a tavern. And a healing fountain. All in comicky speedmap style of course. I sense a soul in search of answers... here's another idea: Since we never saw "the wizard" in Quake, maybe do something with him? I really want to map with the blue wizard textures... let's build the Wizard's Lair and use one of those flying things from Rogue as the Wiz. A Rogue speedchainmap in Ebon Fortress/Manse theme, with bookshelves, pentangles, blood and everything, plus those flying ghost creatures. The whole "EEEEEVIL" thing. OTOH, not everybody has the Rogue pack I guess. But a Rogue map would be something different... until Kell and party import these monsters into Quoth (insert number here)... *g* #2325 posted by Willem [75.177.185.17] on 2008/05/20 11:55:51 If someone can give me the basic run down on a speed map (like what the concept is and what the rules are) I'd like to participate. I'd like a more generic theme though. The last one, 'hate', is sort of up my alley. Maybe 'suffering' or 'light' or something like that. Well I've Only Ever Done That One... #2326 posted by RickyT23 [81.157.19.111] on 2008/05/20 12:02:34 ...but the idea is probably how you would imagine: Make a map in a few hours - release it! There's no real rules I dont think, just dont be asking for extensions unless it's because you thought you were gonna have time to start, but something happened and it fell through. Speeds said to me that some speedmaps are made in 2-3 hours!! Mine took two evenings sat infront of my computer, probably 8-10 hours total. After that I left it until Gb's was ready. I mean I dont see anyone kicking your ass if you spend 20+ hours on a speedmap, but you might hear someone say "not a real speedmap" or something ;-P All we need to do is pick a theme and a finishing date, an we're off! Oh yeah - sm141 - Gb and I tested eachother's maps, we sent eachother demos :-) Heh - "light" Could Be Good... #2327 posted by RickyT23 [81.157.19.111] on 2008/05/20 12:05:10 ...with Quoth flashlight! I mean I think the theme suggestions can be taken very loosely, just do whatever... In Good Old Days... #2328 posted by gone [78.37.31.230] on 2008/05/20 12:39:54 The idea was born among the q3 mappers and carried over it q1. The speedmapping was a real event - people gathered online and started mapping at the same time. Making DM maps. The time was limited to 60 (later 100 minutes) maybe with some extra 20 minutes for fixing. Then all the maps got collected, packed, put up on a server and played. The maps had to be made from scratch and the use of prefabs was seen as cheating. Later on it switched to sp maps and more time was allowed (as sp maps are harder to make) And even if some people couldnt get online to map at the same time and the pack was collected in few days, the 'offline' mappers honorably kept the rules making their maps from scratch and in the limited ammount of time. Some years later it degraded into something you cant call 'speedmapping', more like 'turtle mapping' (which also comes from q3 scene - where people were making full maps in 1 week time) #2329 posted by Willem [75.177.185.17] on 2008/05/20 12:41:26 OK, well, I took a look at SM141 and I think I'd be up for something like that. Simple, blocky-ish maps with some quick kill gameplay. I'm in for the next one! #2330 posted by Willem [75.177.185.17] on 2008/05/20 12:42:26 Although, realistically, it needs to happen within the next 2 weeks or I'm only going to have limited time to work on it. The rest of the summer is "ship Gears2" time. Make The Rmx Map Plz! #2331 posted by gone [78.37.31.230] on 2008/05/20 12:46:52 wink-wink #2332 posted by Willem [75.177.185.17] on 2008/05/20 12:59:43 Yes, I'm working on that as well. A speed map is, from what I can gather, a 8-10 hour commitment. Back In The Old Days... #2333 posted by than [221.244.26.90] on 2008/05/20 13:03:51 speedmaps were made in one hour. Then it was increased to 100mins and then there were turtlemaps and speedchainmaps etc. Of course, speedmaps are still made fairly quickly, but I think the problem was participation in the weekly events was slowing down as people weren't often able to get into IRC and map at the right time. Maybe we should have a proper oldskool speedmapping event where we do actually log onto IRC sometime and do it like we used to. Then again, I'm in a crap timezone for speedmapping now :/ #2334 posted by gb [89.27.231.75] on 2008/05/20 13:26:27 Willem: cool! I'd also like a one week timeframe. I think I can finish in under 10 hours now, too, the last one really took longer than I expected but I didn't want to release a map with half the monsters missing, because that would suck, and what good would it be? Brushwork indeed only took 5 hours. I underestimated the time needed for monster placement etc., simple. And then I decided to do it right instead of rush it. When you look at today's normal maps, 12 hours for a speedmap really still is quick. Very quick. #2335 posted by Spirit [213.39.203.231] on 2008/05/20 13:34:12 Maybe we should have a proper oldskool speedmapping event where we do actually log onto IRC sometime and do it like we used to. Yes, please. It's called speedmapping for a reason. 12 hours is not speedmapping... How can it be a speedmap when it takes more than a day?! #2336 posted by Willem [75.177.185.17] on 2008/05/20 14:09:05 I have some little ideas I'd like to try out and small speed maps would be a great place to express them. I'll need more than an hour, however. #2337 posted by gb [89.27.231.75] on 2008/05/20 15:01:50 well, it is speedmapping when you compare it to 7 months or whatever real maps take today. This isn't "the old days." This is the post-warpspasm era. I'd also rather play a fun map than a demonstration of how fast you can knock something together just to prove it. I want to have fun playing it, too. Knocking up "something" in 60 minutes is an academic exercise, not more. It should be fun to play. I admit it doesn't take 111 monsters to have fun, but cut me some slack plz Spirit, it was my first damn released map (hey, welcome, newbie! Thanks!) and my first speedmap. Next time I'll hire a Japanese with a stopwatch. that's my pov. I think 8-10 hours are reasonable. I wouldn't want to play something with a spikeshooter and 10 dogs. Ricky, we need to train much harder and drink much less absinthe. We're damn slackers. Besides, Willem will be watching this time. ;-) How about "Slackers" as a theme? Or "grunge". Jesus #2338 posted by Spirit [213.39.203.231] on 2008/05/20 15:37:16 My "first released map" was a speedmap too (sm111). And it was crap. And damn fun to create in ~90 minutes. I learned a lot from that one. To me speedmapping is about enjoying oneself. I always considered speedmapping as a nice opportunity to explore new things, experiment, create wild maps. I don't see any motivation to spend too much time on a speedmap as a) speedmaps aren't exactly real releases, b) speedmaps aren't exactly supposed to be balanced or great and c) if I want to spent so much time on mapping then I'll do a proper map instead. Post-warpspasm? What exactly did/does Warpspasm change? The public interest in it has been underwhelming from what I know. Not the old days? What old days? I can't see any important new trends that make all maps better? And NO, making a map huge and empty and use min/sky lighting is not good. Did you look at the stuff in early speedmapping packs? There are some incredibly nice things in there. #2339 posted by Willem [24.199.192.130] on 2008/05/20 15:40:22 I like 'grunge'. Let's do that. Just Call It 10-hr Mapping :) #2340 posted by gone [78.37.31.230] on 2008/05/20 15:42:49 #2341 posted by Willem [24.199.192.130] on 2008/05/20 15:45:47 Like, can a speed map be a tasty 5 minute exercise in gameplay or are there expectations these days? SM141 was, to me, longer than I was expecting. A lot of simple rooms with tons of monsters. Is that what is expected or is it acceptable to knock up a small number of rooms that have some sort of a hook to them? Well That's The Last Time I Make A Speedmap #2342 posted by RickyT23 [81.157.19.111] on 2008/05/20 15:46:00 Fucking bunch of snobby wankers.

I'll knock something out when I get a few ideas together. Ricky #2345 posted by gb [89.27.231.75] on 2008/05/20 16:18:42 yup. that's it. /shakes head that's it all right. Ricky #2346 posted by bambuz [193.167.3.3] on 2008/05/20 16:37:56 you are right about the bunch of snobby wankers. But that should be no reason to not make speedmaps anymore. Ps #2347 posted by than [220.47.251.83] on 2008/05/20 17:43:48 I wasn't knocking current speedmaps at all. I was just saying that doing a one off old skool speedmapping session where everyone actually gets into irc for 1-2 hours and makes their maps at the same time would be fun. It's a great idea to extend the speedmaps and allow people a bit more freedom to chose when to make and how long for, I just remembered that I had a great time doing it in irc and thought it would be cool if there was another event like the old ones. Maybe there will be during QExpo. Huh... #2348 posted by metlslime [64.175.155.252] on 2008/05/20 21:23:57 i completely missed the part where speedmaps went from 2-3 hours to 8-10. I remember noticing that people stopped doing them together at the same time on IRC, and started doing them "sometime during the week" -- but i assumed they were still only devoting the allowed 2-3 hours. So is 8-10 hours spread over a week the standard practice now or just a one-time thing for the most recent speedmap session? One of the purposes of the short time span of ~2 hours was more people would be willing to participate if the commitment was that small. It sounds like you guys should be calling these Turtlemaps and embracing the 1-week timelimit if that suits your mapping desires more, so that real speedmaps can still happen once in a while without people's expectations being that they have to devote a week to it. Yeah #2349 posted by Zwiffle [24.183.41.141] on 2008/05/21 05:12:40 2-5 hours is more like it for when I used to speedmap, and I guess now that I'm free on weekends I should participate. I'll try if there's actually a meeting in #speedmap or whatever anymore. #2350 posted by Willem [75.177.185.17] on 2008/05/21 11:56:50 This clearly takes practice. I spent a few hours last night on an idea that i had- just rough sketching the level. No monsters or lights or entities beyond a player start ... and it's nowhere near done. Not sure how you get anything useful done in 2-3 hours but maybe I'm just not focused enough. No, in fact, I'm sure that I'm not. Heh. Willem #2351 posted by than [220.47.251.83] on 2008/05/21 14:37:41 I found the drag copy function in Worldcraft (hold shift and drag a brush to copy it to wherever the mouse pointer is moved to) immensely helpful when speedmapping. Dunno if you already have a feature like that in toetag, but if not, you should consider it. Seriously great. Actually, Max has a similar shift drag operation that duplicates polys and extrudes edges, so if you use that at work you will know how helpful it can be. You Can Make A Much Shorter Map #2352 posted by bambuz [130.233.228.9] on 2008/05/21 15:01:54 #2353 posted by Willem [24.199.192.130] on 2008/05/21 15:31:45 than I have the Radiant style duplication in ToeTag: select stuff, hit SPACE, makes a duplicate - drag it where you want it. It's not the construction that's the problem. The problem is more coming up with the flow of the map in such a short period of time. Thinking up cool combat scenarios and stuff is not my speciality under severe time constraints. :P I Don't Think #2354 posted by bambuz [193.167.3.3] on 2008/05/21 15:34:27 sm141 is a representative sample, both maps are longer than speedmaps often are. I don't say they're bad, just saying that you're not doing blasphemy if you make a shorter map. I understand often this thing tries to get out of hand with ever more elaborate maps and thus the time limits were introduced. All said in good spirit. #2355 posted by Willem [24.199.192.130] on 2008/05/21 15:36:21 Fair enough. That's good to hear, actually. I can reign in my goals a little then...

I'm thinking to finish it by more or less next weekend and kick it out the door, just in the interests of not fannying about. If anyone wants to mail me their maps as well I'll bundle them up and post the link in one shot. Why Not #2371 posted by Zwiffle [24.183.101.72] on 2008/06/21 18:21:38 pool all the map scraps together and make a chain map thingie out of it. Haven't had one of those since RPG's last map iirc. Hm #2372 posted by ijed [190.20.107.254] on 2008/06/21 19:15:31 It'd be cool, but wouldn't work for mine because of the way I'm spawning stuff in and managing coop starts etc. Next time? Flood The Quake Lake #2373 posted by Spirit [80.171.7.21] on 2008/07/01 10:07:22 only negke submitted a map ages ago. I'll bundle it in the next pack.

RickyT #2385 posted by Kell [80.192.82.197] on 2008/07/17 16:52:33 This is one for Q3: http://lvlworld.com/review.php?id=... The idea is you build the map to an enormous scale so the player seems to be only a couple of inches high. One room is usually all you build. I think padkitchen is particularly cool: http://lvlworld.com/review.php?id=... Of course you don't have to stick to real world domestic settings. Yeah #2386 posted by drew [202.62.104.232] on 2008/07/19 10:52:57 That's the idea. Probably a bitch to pull off in Q1, but who knows. I'm sure neg!ke can do it. On a side note I love hl1 very dearly.

Is it SP? #2390 posted by Drew [202.137.142.102] on 2008/07/20 13:05:30 Oh, and also someone should organize an all star speed mapping event. get old school people who never map for quake anymore or Semi famous mappers, or whatever to whip up some speedmaps for the 11th quakefest. if you gave them a deadline now, there might even be a submission. #2391 posted by Trinca [84.39.89.221] on 2008/07/20 13:40:43 then is not for me this pack :p 2noob4you Theme For Next Speedmap: #2392 posted by Shambler [92.232.214.79] on 2008/07/20 14:21:29 SM1whatever - "#Func_fusion Beef" Hmm #2393 posted by nonentity [87.194.146.225] on 2008/07/20 14:28:54 Moo? An Oldschool Speedmap Session #2394 posted by SleepwalkR [85.179.30.3] on 2008/07/20 14:40:16 is actually an interesting idea, if there are enough retired mappers who are willing to participate. The problem is however that in order to map quickly, you must know your editor quite well (I suppose), and those who haven't mapped in a while are at a disadvantage there I guess. #2395 posted by negke [82.82.176.134] on 2008/07/20 14:52:22 Yes, that would be cool, but I doubt many of them would participate. They could still contribute by skillful bitching and ranting, though. Drew: It's from my crate sm111 - you've played it. Trinca: 2noobs1map then! Could We Actually Have A Time Posted In This Thread Then? #2396 posted by Lunaran [24.158.1.74] on 2008/07/20 21:21:56 instead of it going quiet and SM144 suddenly appearing in the news feed with two maps in it Well #2397 posted by SleepwalkR [85.179.30.3] on 2008/07/20 21:26:11 I could ask headshot if he would be interested in dusting off the old editor. Not sure he'd be up to it though, but who knows. Myself, I'd be willing to participate as well, but I'd have to learn ToeTag first.

Challenge Ideas #2400 posted by LordHavoc [69.59.212.88] on 2008/08/13 02:32:06 These are some ideas for challenging mappers, use them in any combination you wish: - no hallways - no rooms (hallway junctions are allowed, but must not be larger than the hallways they connect) - no vertical walls - no flat floors - no secrets - no scrags - no powerups - no high-tier weapons (SNG/RL/LG) - no normal monsters (I.E. unpopulated level except for boss battles) - restrict yourself to two normal monster types and one boss type (shambler or vore) - creative use of normal monster groups that take the place of bosses - underwater level (only pockets of air to keep you alive).

No Idea #2414 posted by negke [82.83.31.220] on 2008/08/17 19:39:46 Possibly. Though I personally find four weeks too long for such an event. Yea' It Is #2415 posted by Text_Fish [82.32.29.116] on 2008/08/17 19:42:27 a bit of an odd decision. New content will surely have dried up by then. 2 Week Turtle-map Event! #2416 posted by Zwiffle [24.183.101.72] on 2008/08/17 21:35:25 plz plz plz plz Sounds Like Fun #2417 posted by RickyT23 [90.217.64.245] on 2008/08/17 21:59:08 Maybe... #2418 posted by metlslime [98.210.181.179] on 2008/08/18 00:36:43 the extra time will allow more people to finish things they wouldn't have been able to, and mean fewer "just after qexpo" releases.

Personally I Think #2422 posted by Text_Fish [82.32.29.116] on 2008/08/18 10:49:02 the theme of the second speedmap would be better suited to a turtlemap.

This, As Usual... #2427 posted by the silent [82.185.144.141] on 2008/09/02 09:28:43 ...is a work of pure genius. Conveys such an uncomfortable feeling all the way... Great work, Negke!

Hahaha #2428 posted by Text_Fish [82.32.29.116] on 2008/09/02 10:59:12 That was quite a Portal/Prey-like headfuck. Nice one Negke. The final jump took me far too many attempts. If I hadn't had to work this weekend I'd have finished my leaning tower of Pisa-style tower map. :( I might just work it in to a regular map now.

Yeap, #2433 posted by HeadThump [4.136.90.96] on 2008/09/03 03:23:10 depends on the theme and if I have the free time later in the week.

(so there's a higher chance for your participation) Actually #2435 posted by Shambler [77.97.138.124] on 2008/09/03 10:46:36 I think that list has some of the best ideas ever.

How about minimum 3 distinct areas per mapper? ... #2438 posted by ionous [75.68.128.81] on 2008/09/03 17:26:12 Personally, I would like something that concerns an established theme or stigma that is common to Quake. Something that uses ID textures or ideas, a monument to the 1996 phenomenon. Those All Sound Great, #2439 posted by HeadThump [4.136.90.232] on 2008/09/03 19:15:36 I now have a good idea of what the rest of my week looks like, so there is nothing conflicting with my free time to map this weekend. Theme: #2440 posted by metlslime [64.175.155.252] on 2008/09/03 21:36:27 you have to make the map in Thred, qED, or DMM. #2441 posted by Zwiffle [66.170.5.18] on 2008/09/03 21:50:45 Theme: "Crawling Chaos 2: Back on all Fours" I Have A Few Days Free #2442 posted by Text_Fish [82.32.29.116] on 2008/09/03 22:17:13 over the weekend, so count me in.

Alright-o #2468 posted by HeadThump [4.136.90.193] on 2008/09/07 18:37:26 I wont have any time to play e-mail shuffle this afternoon, so just in case my assumption is wrong, you can snatch up my speed map from this address: http://mortisville.quakedev.com/sm... Few notes: Four and a half hours of brush work, almost eight hours of vising. A few bugs. A couple of health packs fell out of the vis version, big bleh, there. However, I ran through the level twice and it was still only a mildly difficult challenge to beat. I also hate the underwater waterfall error too, but no time to fix. Enjoy. Booo. #2469 posted by Text_Fish [82.32.29.116] on 2008/09/07 21:32:45 My graphics card's gone loopy. If I can keep Worldcraft open for more than twenty minutes at a time without everything going crazy colours, hopefully I can get my map done on time. Otherwise I'll finish it when I've ... fixed the computer. Somehow. It's times like these that make one wonder if computers are really worth the bother. #2470 posted by Omus [91.85.172.175] on 2008/09/08 00:41:59 Headthump - you have the right address, I think. Text_Fish - WC2.1 had a software mode IIRC which should be usable on small maps. Seems like this session is going to be another busy one, I'm already looking forward to the rants of frustration from my entry. Thanks Omus #2471 posted by HeadThump [4.136.90.140] on 2008/09/08 03:33:58 I wasn't sure if it was Negke or Spirit organizing the current speed mapping event, and the QExpo site was not coming up for me this morning to double check.

I Was Thinking Recently #2477 posted by Lunaran [97.87.13.222] on 2008/09/19 03:11:31 about the idea of 'studies'. When an artist does a study he'll copy a photo or he'll sketch fifty faces on a page or do some other kind of experimentation that isn't meant to be any kind of finished hang-on-a-wallable work, and is solely for the purpose of learning by doing. Is there enough room for experimentation to build study maps? Little one-off things that are meant solely to try things with ogre-architecture interaction or func_train rides or backtracks or even just what role func_doors play in a map? Well... #2478 posted by metlslime [24.130.121.165] on 2008/09/19 06:49:01 i actually do that... for a few purposes: - small map to try out a new texture set i'm working on - small map to test out the quakec for a new entity - small map to test out a gameplay encounter that is more scripted than usual Who Doesn't Do That? #2479 posted by Spirit [213.39.156.249] on 2008/09/19 09:14:09 Nice Idea, But #2480 posted by Lardarse [62.31.165.111] on 2008/09/19 10:13:15 I don't know if 2 hours is long enough to have such an experiment...

The texture theme is free for everyone to choose (and will hopefully differ from the others). Anyone interested in giving this a try this weekend? Hmm #2486 posted by nonentity [87.194.146.225] on 2008/10/03 17:46:20 So kinda like that game where the first person draws a head on a piece of paper and folds it over, then the next person does the body, folds it over, etc?

Make That: #2530 posted by HeadThump [4.136.90.34] on 2008/11/18 22:21:38 a corker of an Neg!keian idea.

Can someone give me the rules again? When can I start mapping for a Monday deadline? Does it need to be done in 2 hours or what are the current rules? The Rules Are #2533 posted by Zwiffle [24.183.101.72] on 2008/11/19 01:40:30 1.a.01) All maps herein created by an author (referred to hereafter as "the mapper") are to be submitted no later than 0700 hours, Central Standard Time. 1.a.02) If a map's creation time is greater than 2 hours of time, the mapper responsible must cut off his left thumb and swallow it live on web cam. 1.b.01) Just map and get it in by Monday some time. Sheesh. #2534 posted by drew [216.168.120.98] on 2008/11/19 06:56:48 usually I map for 2-5 hours. I don't think I've ever gone longer than that, and I've never broken it up, unless you count 15 minute breaks to like, pick my gf or something like that. I've never made one in less than an hour. But shit, its tough mapping with no thumbs. Willem #2535 posted by Spirit [213.39.225.235] on 2008/11/19 08:59:28 The rules are: Have fun! If you feel like it, map 60 minutes. I often try that. :D If you want to invest hours, well, that's your choice. It's good to try things and stuff. I would not ever spent hours polishing the gameplay, lighting, texturing or things alike though. Speedmaps aren't worth that in my opinion. And you can totally ignore any theme (which I might do this week because I want to try something rather different). ;) #2536 posted by Trinca [194.65.24.228] on 2008/11/19 11:18:15 I think i will jump of this week ;) negke is pressing me up to finish tchak ;) and i want to start beta in end of month to release during christmas ;) i need to start a fresh map in 2009 :) #2537 posted by Willem [75.177.185.17] on 2008/11/19 11:43:04 Heh, OK, I know the idea is to just map and have fun but I didn't want to break any rules ... but there are no real rules, so I'm good. Thx! Willem #2538 posted by RickyT23 [82.20.37.149] on 2008/11/20 01:20:48 Check the maps for SM141 Dont know how long I spent on mine, but it wasn't as long as I probably said it was, but I got slated for it being too polished, and not a REAL speedmap. I dont care really, it was fun to make. MY only midevil map. Apparently it was a turtlemap, but if I had taken a week it would have been even better. I was on my midevil mapping honeymoon.... Oooooh #2539 posted by st3ady [96.244.141.208] on 2008/11/20 06:12:03 Willem is getting in on it this week!? woop woop this should be good XD Ya, What Ricky Said, #2540 posted by HeadThump [4.136.90.10] on 2008/11/20 07:00:47 yesterday after finishing my lunch, I grabbed a legal pad to sketch out the ideas for the map and how the entities would need to be organized to make it work, when after the eighth page of detail it occurred to me that the idea is a little too involved for a speed map. I'll still take some time to map for it, though. Skip #2541 posted by st3ady [96.244.141.208] on 2008/11/22 18:22:35 gotta skip this week, i've fallen behind in my MCAT studies, I need to spend the whole weekend and Monday catching up. sux Didn't Finish #2542 posted by HeadThump [4.136.90.21] on 2008/11/24 03:45:49 I have to be up early tomorrow so I don't have any more time to work on it. Here is the map file if anyone feels like throwing some entities at a basically complete but entity free structure. It's in Quake 3 format. http://mortisville.quakedev.com/dr... If not, I'll finish it up next session. Haha... Uhm #2543 posted by Drew [216.168.120.224] on 2008/11/24 07:41:54 Ditto to Headthump. My speedmap has morphed into something more quasi turtleish. Minus the quality that title implies... I tried to whip something together quickly but I'm burnt out. I have a theme suggestion for next week though: Finish an aborted speedmap. Not Finishing? #2544 posted by Spirit [80.171.7.14] on 2008/11/24 09:09:14 What are you, girls?

Oh Yeah! #2550 posted by Hrimfaxi [89.150.173.209] on 2008/11/24 18:59:18 Lets take "finish an aborted speedmap" as theme next week. I didn't quite finish mine as wel, but with a week more I can expand it an finish for next session. And since HeadThump and Drew has speedmap scraps as well we can have some "double" speedmaps, guess it will be turtlemaps then? Well who cares as long as we get some maps! #2551 posted by Willem [24.199.192.130] on 2008/11/24 19:00:26 Theme suggestion: Man up and finish!

Yeah #2556 posted by Drew [66.79.231.146] on 2008/11/25 16:11:22 ... maybe one person could upload a scrap or 2 like I did that time, and we could go for there. I'd offer some more up, but I don't have many floating around these days. #2557 posted by Willem [24.199.192.130] on 2008/11/25 16:17:39 That would be neat.

Well... #2573 posted by Drew [216.168.101.187] on 2008/12/01 18:19:10 The theme was "Not actually speed maps", I guess. But seriously, anyone who doesn't participate cause the theme is unclear is a weiner. PS Hrim is a good man. Oh, And... #2574 posted by Drew [216.168.101.187] on 2008/12/01 18:20:30 I don't know it I'll make it for sm150, so if necessary I'd be fine with it being used in that pack. #2575 posted by Willem [24.199.192.130] on 2008/12/01 18:26:35 "But seriously, anyone who doesn't participate cause the theme is unclear is a weiner." I can work on random maps on my own. The whole idea of the weekly speed map, for me, is that I'm given an interesting theme and a few hours to do something with it. Random noodling, well, I can do that anytime...

SM152: Descent Into Quanta #2624 posted by Willem [24.199.192.130] on 2009/05/04 19:15:16 WTF is Quanta? #2625 posted by Zwiffle [66.170.5.18] on 2009/05/04 20:40:27 A measurement of something. I think. Aww #2626 posted by scar3crow [75.93.3.36] on 2009/05/05 02:40:24 Well, I can pretend I participated in the original SM152, just preemptive style... I looked up quanta. So far Zwiffle's definition is still the most useful one I've found. Well #2627 posted by Zwiffle [97.87.57.94] on 2009/05/05 03:11:38 Referring back to the quantum mechanics course I took, the actual definition of a quanta is a discrete packet of energy - ie. a whole number of energy, nothing between 1 and 2, 2 and 3, and so on. Really, I understand it just to mean a measurement of something. #2628 posted by Spirit [213.39.223.226] on 2009/05/05 09:08:17 You guys take it way too seriously. Quanta is whatever you want it to be. You can do everything on quanta.com! I'll just pretend Quanta is a magical fairy land. #2629 posted by Trinca [194.65.24.228] on 2009/05/05 09:18:03 i will pass this theme... SM152A #2630 posted by lurker [74.160.192.157] on 2009/05/05 18:04:46 I made a speedmap for Orion's Soccer mod, but it had a tendency to crash the game any time the ball hit a trigger_out. The more I tried to fix it, the more it would crash. In its current state, the map crashes any time the ball hits a trigger_out or a trigger_goal. I have rebuilt the triggers and triple-checked the documentation, but a solution still eludes me. I am not sure at this point if I am making mistakes or if I'm triggering a bug. Given that the smaller of Orion's maps crashes for me the same way, I'm guessing bug. Either way, I am not comfortable releasing my map at this time. #2631 posted by Spirit [80.171.9.202] on 2009/05/11 09:36:42 No one?

RoFL @ KP #2691 posted by RickyT23 [86.26.252.180] on 2009/06/12 18:57:14 I was watching this documentary about some evangelical christians who live somewhere in England, and they were a large family (dont believe in contraception), the eldest son had been at university, the second eldest (the eldest daughter) went to see how life was like for her brother in London at university. They had all been home-schooled you see, and had no idea what life was like in the "real world". I just remember a scene where they where in a nightclub, and the girl was sulking because she found the lyrics to that song "offensive and disturbing". I find it offesive and disturbing that people will bring their kids up like that, its basically brainwashing. I also remember the girl crying hysterically over the death of Jesus, saying that she did not deserve to be there because he had died for HER sins. Weird, she was about 12 or 13. #2692 posted by Willem [24.199.192.130] on 2009/06/12 19:02:14 That's nothing compared to the video of the hippies in the forest, crying and wailing on behalf of the dead trees that had been cut down.

(And generally that 1024 idea, I'd simply restrict myself further then). #2711 posted by negke [88.70.55.232] on 2009/06/22 12:02:06 Drew: Nope. gb: We did that with SM127. Turned out 1024 was too much space - 512 is better and also removes the need for a 'no room over room' rule (which would be silly for a Quake map). #2712 posted by Willem [24.163.61.78] on 2009/06/22 12:32:11 Yeah, 1024 is actually a pretty large chunk of Quake real estate. Not Really #2713 posted by RickyT23 [86.139.218.55] on 2009/06/22 12:34:48 You guys are losing it man. Think of the base panel textures, 128x128. So your allowed 4x4 of those!??!?! = 512x512 Or 8x8 of those? 1024x1024 A room 8 panels by 8 panels isnt very big. #2714 posted by Willem [24.163.61.78] on 2009/06/22 12:47:34 OK, I just built a test map and assuming that you were allowed to build vertically, 1024 should be enough room to do stuff. Now, 512 would be trick... Ricky #2715 posted by negke [88.70.55.232] on 2009/06/22 13:17:53 Take a look at Spirit's map to see how large a 1024ģ cube is, and efdat's map for a nice execution that still leaves room for more. Don't think in 128x128 rather than 64*64. Of course, 1024 (and below) isn't much considering the dimensions of regular maps, and might well serve as a contest theme (which is probably what gb was getting at), but in relation is not as challenging for Quake as it is for Doom. Also speedmap-wise.. #2716 posted by Spirit [213.39.211.65] on 2009/06/22 13:23:17 Oooh, I'd LOVE 512x512. #2717 posted by Trinca [194.65.24.228] on 2009/06/22 14:06:41 less talk and more mapping ladies!!! 512x512 #2718 posted by starbuck [92.237.128.247] on 2009/06/22 14:39:30 would be good for forcing innovative gameplay. I'm imagining 'crimson room'-style clue-finding, moving walls, lots of small traps to avoid, that kind of thing. Alternatively you could compromise and restrain the player inside a 512x512 room, but allow other things to move in - monsters teleporting, whole bits of scenery, etc. For a more silly application, I once made a speedmap that was kinda space invaders/asteroids themed. It trapped you in a box and scrolled spaceships and asteroids by you, and you got a score based on how many of them you hit. I'd be interested in seeing someone do cool things with that idea. http://www.quaddicted.com/filebase... if you're interested. Also, I should speedmap again. Ahaha #2719 posted by negke [88.70.55.232] on 2009/06/22 14:44:01 Most awesome. #2720 posted by gb [89.27.197.160] on 2009/06/22 19:28:02 Take a look at Spirit's map to see how large a 1024ģ cube is That's why I suggested no room over room. I don't think that's so silly. No real bridges, no ledges with room under them, no deep water, no multiple storeys. But if you guys like a 512x512 tower better... the problem is, with these "tower allowed" maps, you can go high instead of wide. That's what I wanted to prevent. I don't really want to build a tower map, neither 512x512 nor 768x768. I want a horizontal restriction, and no multiple levels over each other allowed. There was a tower contest already. Drew: No, release that one - I'm in for the next one then. #2721 posted by gb [89.27.197.160] on 2009/06/22 19:29:51 Also, I found the tower maps so cramped that they weren't fun to play anymore. 1024 is good. Like Ricky says. It allows you to make corridors wider than 48 units :-P 1024 is also better for the ... size inclined among us. #2722 posted by negke [88.70.69.34] on 2009/06/22 19:49:52 Oh, I didn't mean 512*512*unlimited. It would have to be ^3, of course. Such a theme is meant to offer a technical challenge (like 100b) and while building a good map inside 1024^3 isn't as easy, the size still allows for getting away with less intricate brushwork. Your 'no room over room' description takes away every benefit the engine has. I'd rather play a cramped map than a 2D one. 512 is an extreme example, but should be feasible for a speedmap, whereas 1024 would be better suited for a turtlemap event. I wouldn't mind doind another (albeit private) 1024 Doom compo, though. Condense To 1024^3 #2723 posted by Zwiffle [66.170.5.18] on 2009/06/22 20:01:03 Condense an original id Quake map into a 1024x1024x1024 version of the same map. Squish, shrink and contort an entire map to fit in that space. #2724 posted by gb [89.27.197.160] on 2009/06/22 20:20:12 Your 'no room over room' description takes away every benefit the engine has. well yes, that's the challenge. Okay #2725 posted by Drew [216.168.101.234] on 2009/06/23 00:16:45 done it sucks more than the last one, and it took longer... but it doesn't leak! so its taking a few minutes to compile here.... Oh #2726 posted by Drew [216.168.101.234] on 2009/06/23 01:01:53 Also it is quoth. forgot to mention in news submission. and also you should just jump repeatedly during on the initial lift - seems to get me a bit every time, but not sure why. didn't do that before full compile and I'm not gonna go back to fix that shit up now. I Won't #2727 posted by Zwiffle [97.87.57.94] on 2009/06/23 05:41:18 be able to participate this week, because I am going out of town the 25th through the 28th.

I think I'll have one for you. So #2732 posted by spy [82.200.243.132] on 2009/06/26 09:58:31 is unthemed map allowed?

One of my ideas was to take House of Chthon and correct those pesky buttons. :-)) #2737 posted by gb [89.27.197.177] on 2009/06/28 23:32:23 Drew, how's it going? My map is practically finished, brushwork, monsters, items etc., just need to do a few triggers and a lift, and blammo. Mine's pretty small, usual gameplay, but hopefully nicer looks and needs Quoth (or any mod that supports SPAWNED, heh). Can't be arsed to build spawnboxes anymore. I'll upload the pack tomorrow if you send me one. #2738 posted by gb [89.27.197.177] on 2009/06/29 02:52:00 mine is done. Tomorrow? #2739 posted by Drew [76.75.67.203] on 2009/06/29 06:16:20 I started mine but only put about 20 minutes into it. I'll do a quick retool tomorrow morning before work and send that off to you. I don't think anyone else is taking part this time. pussies. #2740 posted by gb [89.27.197.177] on 2009/06/29 16:11:34 Sure, that's fine. If you'd like more time, we could simply skip this one. Where are all the others? There Are None. #2741 posted by Drew [76.75.67.203] on 2009/06/29 19:32:35 there never will be. because they are all big 'real map' making manginas. i'm sending you some mail right now. #2742 posted by gb [89.27.216.241] on 2009/06/29 19:45:36 Oh if we could at least make a 33 speedmap megawad. Megapak I mean. Not going to happen, huh. How about that 512x512x512 contest? Would the people be more inclined to participate? Theme Suggestion #2743 posted by Zwiffle [97.87.57.94] on 2009/06/29 19:59:19 "Speedrun" - set your map up with the possibility of multiple routes for speed runners in addition to regular gameplay. Well... #2744 posted by Drew [76.75.67.203] on 2009/06/29 20:16:01 I probably won't be able to make the next event. Won't rule it out completely but I seriously doubt it. Zwiffle - there was a speedrun session years ago, and it was pretty good. I personally don't think I'd stay on theme with that one. I just never speedrun, so it would be hard to map for. Also, isn't the fun of speedrunning finding ways to work around the 'rules' of the map? SM22 #2745 posted by Drew [76.75.67.203] on 2009/06/29 20:17:31 #2746 posted by gb [89.27.216.241] on 2009/06/29 20:22:37 I don't really have an idea how to make a map enjoyable to speedrun. It often seems speedrunners just like the simpler, cruder, or weirder maps. Plainly for trickability. Actually making a map with that in mind would be quite a challenge for me. It should have several possible routes? Be relatively open? #2747 posted by gb [89.27.227.80] on 2009/07/01 01:43:53 ? Anyone Up For The Speedrun Theme? #2748 posted by gb [89.27.203.104] on 2009/07/01 19:47:58 Gb #2749 posted by Zwiffle [97.87.57.94] on 2009/07/01 19:52:42 o/ The Stream #2750 posted by ijed [216.241.20.2] on 2009/07/01 20:16:57 Speedrunning Theme., #2751 posted by Shambler [94.172.168.122] on 2009/07/02 00:26:51 The trick is, I think, to make a map that is fun and has lots of running possibilities, but without overdesigning it for specific tricks and obvious routes. It's much more rewarding as a running to have possibilities to play around with and options to try and work it out for oneself, rather than having shortcuts and routes handed on a plate. Thus: Dos: Open mapping with space to move. Normal map progress made by moving upwards or over gaps or similar. Variety of useful monsters (ogres, vores, fiends, blers, spawn). Some "trickier" explosives, gl or barrels. Slopes if they fit in naturally. Clean mapping with not much to snag a player. A reasonable amount of health. Plenty of monsters but not in cramped spaces. Don't: Too much health/armour/pent/eyes to make infinite boosts or general running too easy. Really obvious "go this way" shortcuts. RL, too easy. GL too early unless lots of hard trick potential. Quad. #2752 posted by gb [89.27.225.142] on 2009/07/02 18:28:09 Yeah. I think the hard part is to build shortcuts without serving them on a plate. If the theme is "speedrunning", well, hmm, there goes my disguise already, as a mapper :-P I can't do it this time unless we have Saturday as the total deadline, since I'll be travelling from Sunday on. Who #2753 posted by Zwiffle [97.87.57.94] on 2009/07/02 23:59:29 Do I send my speedmap to this week if no one else can participate? #2754 posted by gb [89.27.225.142] on 2009/07/03 01:50:01 OK...

Entering RADIANTLEVEL #2760 posted by negke [88.70.62.124] on 2009/07/06 21:54:57 I made a map. It's tiny and bleh and doesn't really qualify as a speedmap since it took forever. Reason is I made it in Radiant (=my first map!)- in order to finally get familiar with a modern editor and because I can't reboot at the moment thanks to VIS. Going to send it to gb. Radiant feels like a solid editor, but it definitely has some quirks. Selecting stuff (brushes/entities) is kind of awkward once there's something above the object in question - I ended up selecting those things in the Camera window - is there better way for the 2D modes? It wasn't needed in this map, but the Region thing seems more complicated than necessary, too. I reckon this will make for some woes in the future. Is there a way to have the mdls displayed? For I found the entity box display to be suboptimal. What sucks most is that Radiant is so picky about non-standard (non-predefined) entities - for example, when making a brush-based info_notnull, the brush is discarded and the entity moved to the origin of the map. Cloning brush ents is dangerous, too, as not only one might end up with 'bbox merging' but also rogue ents when deleting them. So, Radiant people, any tips? Won't Make It This Week. #2761 posted by Drew [66.79.231.189] on 2009/07/06 22:13:23 maybe next week. Negke: #2762 posted by metlslime [173.11.92.50] on 2009/07/06 22:57:44 in 2D view, you always select the closest brush, unless there's an entity, then it will select the entity no matter if there's a brush closer. I do most of my selecting in the camera view. Sometimes if i want to select a group of things, i draw a brush around them in the 2D view and choose "select complete tall" to select everything fully inside that rectangle -- 'partial tall' will include objects that are partially outside the brush you drew, and 'inside'/'touching' are the equivalent functions but where the height of the initial brush matters ('tall' commands will ignore the third dimention. Note that the third dimention is whichever one is not visible in your current 2D view, so "complete tall" with a side view would select an invinitely long area, not an invinitely tall area.) Negke #2763 posted by Zwiffle [97.87.57.94] on 2009/07/06 23:02:13 Use shift+alt+click for cycling through brushes that are on top of each other in 2d modes. For cloning things, unfortunately, I find that you can't clone brush entities at all, because they will end up being the same entity just spread out over multiple brushes. You have to clone them before you make them entities, and then what I do is set one property, select a different entity, press enter then change the name. For example, if I want to make a series of crushing doors, I'll line them up, then turn each one into a func_door, set one with 'targetname = crushDoor01', select the next one, press enter, delete the 1 then press 2, etc etc. It is very cumbersome this way, but I don't know anything better. #2764 posted by Trinca [194.65.24.228] on 2009/07/07 18:13:17 nice i will sent mine untill friday for sure! today i dont have time for it... but tomorow i will try to finish it.

What about making 'popular custom textureset event'? That means for example the first event is ikbase themed, then knave and so on Re: Reminder #2826 posted by Zwiffle [66.170.5.18] on 2009/09/03 23:18:44 We now have TWO maps. From Necros.

I Have Something #2827 posted by Drew [70.52.63.11] on 2009/09/04 00:30:39 ... at least, the beginnings of something. it has real promise - maybe too much for a speedmap?

Well #2828 posted by Zwiffle [66.170.5.18] on 2009/09/04 00:46:06 I'm uncertain, but I may extend the deadline a bit because I may or may not be going out of town this weekend and if I do I may not get back until Monday sometime, since Monday is a US holiday. Do It #2829 posted by Grahf [74.127.73.102] on 2009/09/04 07:00:24 It will increase the chances that inspiration will strike me in time to make something.

Drew, #2880 posted by Shambler [86.25.221.193] on 2010/03/05 20:33:27 At least my dream was vaguely relevant, and, unwittingly, topical. #2881 posted by Drew [70.53.222.29] on 2010/03/05 21:36:51 yeah, it was a joke. But if someone were to make it into a speedmap I'd be pretty excited about it. there's been a few maps that could fit into your theme pretty well - rudl made one once where you were forcefully teleported through every quake theme in about a minute. the smqe08d pack was " teleport madness" - all I can remember from it was the lunaran map, which was really cool but kind of frustrating. #2882 posted by Zwiffle [97.87.57.94] on 2010/03/06 15:22:40 I've decided I will attempt a speedmap today.

I have made one, and apparently Negke made... something. My map falls into these categories: subterranean, waterfall, and quoth (for shambler). Feel free to utilize any of these themes. I don't know about you guys, but I'm totally willing to wait a week or two for maps to pile up so we can have a REAL speedmap PACK - not just 2 or 3 maps... I have 2 papers due, so that means I'll probably make at least one more over the next little while! #2905 posted by Trinca [81.84.135.177] on 2010/03/21 20:21:21 OK Drew you got me... will build something this week ;) my map can wait... there is so much to do :p I'm In. #2906 posted by Spirit [80.171.1.108] on 2010/03/21 20:21:33 Radiant makes mapping fast, rectangular and full of trim. It also makes it hard to change things later so I should end up with a bunch of brushes. Someone just give a theme. How about "Should have been somewhere else when that happened". No, I have no idea what and why.

Triple Post #2938 posted by Drew [65.92.161.252] on 2010/03/29 05:17:44 whatever, I'm doing it! (*) #2939 posted by negke [88.70.252.236] on 2010/03/29 20:39:47 A variation of turtlemapping: A turtle episode. Everyone tries to create an entire episode within a week, each map only the size of a more sophisticated speedmap. One map a day, seven maps in total (or how many one can manage) per participant. Think rpgsmse. YEAH! #2940 posted by Drew [132.205.225.227] on 2010/03/29 21:10:02 That is a GREAT idea! But one that will definitely have to wait until a time when I'm less busy, haha! ...The only problem I can see is that peoplemight be biting off more than they can chew when they commit to that - mapping inspiration is definitely sporadic for myself, and when I've tried to "binge" map, I've generally found the inspiration shrivels up - definitely a case of diminishing returns, or whatever. I mean, it should be kept in mind that rpgsmse's construction took place with breaks between each map. fuck all that though - it's definitely worth a try! I've Tried That Before #2941 posted by Zwiffle [66.170.5.18] on 2010/03/29 21:23:22 It's definitely not easy to do, especially when you have any kind of life. A while ago the speedmappers had like 4 weeks of speedmap themes lined up with a 5th week's goal being to refine the maps - The 4 Seasons of Quake or something like that. RPG was the only one afaik to string his speedmaps into an episode, but it wasn't a map a day, it was a 5-week project and only produced like 4 maps and a start map I think. A speedmap a day is nothx for me, but a more drawn out event would be okay. I Still Have Mine From Back Then #2942 posted by rj [86.0.165.149] on 2010/03/29 21:51:10 er, i have a refined e2 map and unrefined e3/e4 maps, did start an idbase one for e1 but never finished it. would be nice to pull something together sometime but i have other priorities atm 8-) Yeah! #2943 posted by Hrimfaxi [89.150.173.209] on 2010/03/29 22:51:52 It's been some years and I still build on my maps from back then from time to time! So maybe i a few years there will be a smal episode from me as well! I Think It's An Idea Though #2944 posted by Drew [132.205.241.12] on 2010/03/30 19:36:15 to maybe do it RPG style for now. make an episode session by session... I suppose that's not thematic though - more just personal. Has "start map" ever been done as a theme? Toying With It Before #2945 posted by meTch [72.10.122.69] on 2010/03/30 19:37:41 but i dont think it went through #2946 posted by Zwiffle [66.170.5.18] on 2010/03/30 21:43:41 If I did do an episode I would probably need to plan it out instead of just throwing a bunch of speedmaps together - maybe a planned month-long mapping project, longer than a turtle map, with actual planning and stuff, and even then I'm not sure I could do it reasonably well. Yeah, It's Not As Easy As It Sounds #2947 posted by negke [88.70.70.55] on 2010/03/30 21:53:16 Aiming for a whole episode (regardless of the number of maps), even if the maps aren't really related or thematically connected to each other, takes away some of the freedom from pressure that speedmapping offers (commitment, coherence, quality, you name it). It's more of a side-project than an actual time-restricted event. I Tried To Do It Once Actually. #2948 posted by Drew [65.92.161.252] on 2010/03/31 07:41:51 sm 76 maybe? the end leads to 2 different exit gates, and I intended to make speeed maps that all kind of interlinked etc. next week I tried to make a metal map(I find that theme so hard, I don't know why) and then gave up on the whole idea. #2949 posted by Ankh [88.199.103.6] on 2010/03/31 09:28:49 I can't do anything in metal theme. I have tried several times but the textures just don't work for me. #2950 posted by Trinca [194.65.24.228] on 2010/03/31 10:46:21 Iīm making a ID metal map :) and I think is working pretty well Metal Needs #2951 posted by ijed [216.241.20.2] on 2010/03/31 13:54:55 Custom textures and a blocky outlook.

Metal 4 Two #2952 posted by negke [88.70.230.189] on 2010/03/31 14:02:12 Metal.wad is the easiest theme to work with - it looks good in all kinds of combinations. It's pretty much defined by a single texture. #2953 posted by Trinca [194.65.24.228] on 2010/03/31 14:44:06 why not repeat this theme? but with another texture? #2954 posted by spy [92.46.18.221] on 2010/03/31 16:03:19 but with another texture? wizmet1_2? rofl Yeah #2955 posted by Drew [65.92.161.252] on 2010/03/31 18:46:12 I've seen alot of people say it's their favourite, etc. but it doesn't work for me too well. #2956 posted by Zwiffle [66.170.5.18] on 2010/03/31 18:58:45 Yeah I have like so many different .wads I've made with metal themes but I never seem to be able to do anything with them. I guess it's too hard to define myself with metal textures, but I seem to have less of a problem with medieval textures/brick, etc, so challenging myself with metal and actually forcing myself to get something done with metal might be a good theme.
