What Project Is That? 
The Ikwhite thing? Update in screenshot thread please! 
Oh! Drew 
You know, the project with ijed and mfx! 
He�s Just Joking 
and prefers napping to mapping. 
Obviously I Was Napping As I Posted That 
I thought hrim was skacky for some reason. 
OK, Map Has Been Emailed To Sock 
Sock, if you didn't get it, something went wrong :) Let me know and I'll get it to ya somehow :) 
Houston We Have Lift Off! 
I got the final map from RickyT23 and a bunch of updates from everyone else, thank you everyone, I will get on the case with the start map tonight and get this map pack out the door for the weekend! 
Hmm.. 
Sounds good. Cant wait to see them other maps!
My mail will reach you soon. I�m afk for 2 hours now, after that i lunch, and then..

Please wait for me. 
Yay 
looking forward to these maps. 
I�m Done! 
Mail send to Sock. Please get it. 
'Probable Carcinogen' Was Re-submitted Last Night... 
The updated rundown:

Brushes: 4406
Entities: 554

Monsters (after subtracting for rotfish tomfoorlery):
Easy: 30
Normal: 46
Hard: 54

MFX went into beast mode over the past two nights, and added a bunch of wonderful things to the map, including a new underwater section, new final fight, more delicious details and slight layout tweaks. Now it's even better!

Probably closer to a 50/50 split now on work done. 
Waiting The Release Of This 
in eager anticipation...

Hurry up guys and gals! 
 
Hmmm. The highlights with honey was the massive vertical layouts, large architecture and fog. and gameplay.

The low points were, for me, the textures, lighting, and finer detail. The darkness hides a lot of bland one-brush walls in Honey. I love contrast but I felt Honey was just too dark, even in a pitch black room where I couldn't even see the keys on my keyboard, half the time I couldn't tell what weapon I was using because there was no lighting. Maybe Darkplaces was worse than some other engines.

Anyway I look forward to playing all these, the screenies all look good. 
Duct Tape Mod 
In regular quake there's a minimum light level applied to weapons so you can always see what's equipped, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's changed in darkplaces... 
 
Did you make the mistake of playing with "RT Lights"? 
 
dunno what rt lights is...

last level of honey wouldn't even load, so perhaps not many used dp 
Why Would You Use DP 
for regular quake maps? 
Exciting Times! 
I kind of wanted to participate in this pack but stupidly decided I didn't have enough time, even though I have loads at the moment. I think it was partly because I only have computers that can't run WorldCraft and I convinced myself learning how to use Trenchbroom on my Mac would take too long. Doh!

Anyway, really looking forward to seeing what people have done, and also looking forward to the next Jam...

I think someone else mentioned some kind of episode 4 themed turtlemap or remake as an idea a while ago. I think that would produce some interesting ideas, since e4 was pretty ugly and flat (except the first map), but quite inventive and spooky. 
 
options -> lighting -> rt world on or off? 
Than Having Loads Of Time 
Is exciting news.

I'd be down for an E4 jam thing. 
Agreed 
Hope the transition to Mac/tb is smooth and your free time is uninterrupted Than! 
 
than, finish dm6rmx 
Than, 
** Update ** 
I have all the maps sorted/tested with a basic start map. I am about half way through the detail and plan to finish Friday with a download link available Saturday. If anyone is itching for some Quake goodness then check out Cartographer's Nightmare and give some feedback/demos. 
 
Sorry sock, the deadline was 3-4 days ago. Jam pack cancelled. 
RinOfQuaddamage 
I'd completely forgotten about it, but I just looked at the page and it doesn't have a Mac build.

I'm OSX only at the moment, since I couldn't get Win7 install to start with bootcamp and wasn't in the mood for potentially fucking up my new computer just yet by trying to do it any other way. Also, I don't know of any Linux distros that work well on the latest Macbooks, although Clem, the leader of the Mint project seems to be doing some good work, which is great, because Mint (Mate edition) is my distro of choice (works better than Windows and Mac, just has less software that I need :/ ). Let's hope they release a Mint for Macbook update soon.
