 Thanks
for the clarification.
Hopefully, it will be more successful than the Quake Accolades.
Will it be more successful than the project you chose to completely not mention on your podcast? Who knows.
(At least ignoring it was better than enabling Scampie in his quest to rate everything skacky and I made a 1...)

The private sm200 discord has been running since at least May. I was kicked from it last month right after calling sm197. Guessing because I didn't consult with otp, and muk was involved in the idea.
 Ww
Nothing surprising there. I can't wait to see the turn out for this one. Should be illuminating.

Since you all seem so excited about it, come in and have a peek.

 Though Maybe
If people are going to just join, ask questions about it elsewhere, and then leave, maybe I should just keep it closed.

I had some confusion about the theme and wasn't sure what all you intend to borrow from the linked doom event's structure. I'm personally not up for an endurance-mapping event, hence my leaving the channel, but I hope we get some good maps out of it and maybe draw in some new mappers and players :)
Best of luck to all participating!
 I Agree OTP
why open it up to plebs?
#4236: I would have hoped that the words "get several mappers to livestream the making a speedmap one each, put them in sequence, release as SM200: a brand new community-made episode for Quake" were clear enough, sorry you were confused.
#4237: What the fuck are you even talking about?
 #4237
The cabal of l33t mappers. Don't sweat it. Good luck with sm200. Maybe we can hit 300 maps this year.
 So
In the space of an hour, you went from posting a constructive suggestion on the discord, then to saying something about "plebs" and deleting the suggestion, to saying "don't sweat it" and wishing us good luck, despite shitting on the idea on QM.
Are you sure you got your temper in control?
 Sm200
Well, I was being polite actually. Sometimes that's not the best tact. There are some decent people involved with this so far and I wish them good luck.

Aw, come on guys! Stuff like THIS, I think, is part why there's a whole thread dedicated to the toxicity of the Quake community. Some people might want to bring out the popcorn to check out the fireworks and drama, but I just wish you guys could get along. :c

proposal for a future speedmap (once sewerjam is over):
No Curves Allowed. Make the most beautiful level you can, but no curved geo.
#4254 posted by Mclogenog on 2019/08/21 13:44:13
alternatively, call it "Curve Intervention" because between JamX and Sewerjam and things like sm200c, this has been The Year of The Curved Geo
 Not To Spoil The Fun ...
#4255 posted by Cocerello on 2019/08/21 13:45:49
but that would be 95% of the speedmaps till now, save if there has been that trend in the last ones, as i have not played them till now.
More interesting would be no corner maps, so no angles should be less than 91º or just no corners to simplify things. Easy and fast to do if creating some modules or prefabs at the beginning and combine them.
#4256 posted by Mclogenog on 2019/08/21 13:58:13
That's fair. Maybe "pentagon" or "triangle" as a theme would be a more interesting challenge?
#4257 posted by metlslime on 2019/08/21 19:20:28
"no floors" - people rely on floors too much IMO.

At some point i decided to clean and make look decent some of the rags from 199x and finished a bunch. They are all speedmap-like, not eyecandy focused, and half of them for Deathmatch.
I think i have the originals for some.

sent you the maps on an email. I went overboard again and i backfired on me so instead of submitting all the scraps i have from 199x, i am only releasing my first three deathmatch maps with a remade version for each.

 Anything Fine
#4277 posted by Cocerello on 2019/10/26 12:03:03
including unlimited entity brushes like in the last 100 brushes pack? I think we are better if at most putting a limit of another 99 entity brushes or there would be no point to the 99 world brushes limit.
 A Brush Is A Brush
#4278 posted by Greenwood on 2019/10/27 04:49:06
It's 99 brushes, period. This includes entity brushes, like doors. Adding Copper is already a nicety, because it bypasses the need to build monster closets ...now those brushes can be used for worldspawn and trigger brushes!
I think folks can make awesome maps, despite the established constraint. CZG's Biotoxin has only about 99 brushes and it looks good and is a lot of fun! Plus, everybody else from that second 100 brush contest didn't have Copper to use.
 Understood
#4279 posted by Cocerello on 2019/10/27 13:41:38
Just saying, but Biotoxin has only 99 brushes because it relies heavily on hacking, reason 4th 100 brushes pack freed entity brushes from the count so it would not be a hacking competition but created the aforementioned problem.
Have one half done already for 99 total brushes. Now for the finishing touches.
 Well, So Far...
#4280 posted by Greenwood on 2019/10/28 11:25:16
Well, so far from the maps that I have received, I haven't seen any hacking ...and being a relatively new mapper, I haven't gotten clever enough to hack anything myself.
However, I do appreciate what you are saying, Cocerello. If I run another event similar to this one, I will definitely take that into consideration. Look forward to seeing your entry!

INSPIRATION Take a look at Quaddicted for some maps in this style.
Post your questions here or at the speedmapping channel on Quake Mapping.
Good luck and have fun.
 Just To Clarify Above
These would be Quake 1 SP maps using Quake 3 textures. Sorry for any confusion.

I did actually have a vaguely inspiring sketch for a Q3A textured map a while ago... ...but this SM session clashes with the #no-map-november event taking place on Discord, where we take a breather from the relentless production line of mapping, chill for a month, catch up recently releases etc. justsayin'....

dumptruck_ds, but as i haven't played Quake 3 since 2000, i based it on Sauerbraten, with the textures from Quake 3 of course.
It has DM, coop and SP.

#4294 posted by Cocerello on 2019/11/26 17:25:34
There was a bug which prevented the player from finishing the map. Even if it is an speedmap is better to have it fixed.
 Thanks Coce
Update: this pack won't be really until Weds at the earliest. All kinds of stuff going on in RL this week. But it looks like we have seven maps total.
