I'd be interested in playing some new q1dm bot action. 

....as much as I have no interest in DM, why not. There might be people who are keen to push their DM mapping, so it would be a good creative outlet. 

I remember really enjoying playing against bots back in the day. Never got into real DM though, just didn't have the bandwidth or sk1ll4x 

I always use reaper bots but i think that's only because they were popular back when I was paying attention.

I have heard frikbot mentioned a lot more recently. 

What's The Best Bot Mod?
I heard (from Baker, I think) it was Frogbot. 

Yes I too played against reapers in the 90s, when I should have been studying.

Ah yes I think I was recommended frogbot in the recent past, and seems I already them installed! 

I was just poking the community, I'll wait and see if others are interested, last thing I want to do is run a jam with only a couple of participants. 

It's Kinn and yourself already, so that's a good start... 

I can't enter myself obvs - too busy with work and other boring real-life stuffs! 

i'm new here but what a heck, i'll answer

if i play deathmatch, i play the same old maps over and over again. dm4,dm6, e1m2 and aerowalk

the maps are intended to be played or with monster or what? 

How about "maps designed primarily for DM, but with waypoints for [bot mod x] added, and also monsters for SP" 

and there is also the option of using Omicron bots which don't need waypoints, so people not interested in DM have it easier participating. 

...because QW community doesn't care about new maps.
They don't give a fuck about your textures or complex brush work, because all they want is low r_speeds.
Foogs is last active DM mapper I know. He probably can tell you more or you can go on QW discord channel for more details... 

There are communities outside of func_msgboard that don't care about the single-player jams either. Not sure that's a reason to not do them.

I thought the idea behind jams was to have a bit of fun amongst ourselves basically (oo-err!). If no-one here is interested then fine, but if people are, who gives a weasel's wotsit what other communities think? 

i'm using a map editor for less than a month but i can see how fun can be.

it just pains me a little that probably nobody will play it. at least the sp maps are played by a few dozens players. maybe hundreds. thousands in the case of arcane dimensions.

we can throw some func_matches! i'm low-mid tier player in ffa, tdm or dmm4 :D. never played enough to become good. 

Meh.

Wait don't we have explore Jams. Not much different except flow isn't considered.

Ahh, sure, go for it. It's in the original ID spirit to have SP and DM in the same map. 

Imo it's counterproductive to make a map that will be never played by QW players. If you want to make good DM map you need constant feedback during design process.
I'm not against this idea, just saying how it is, because few people will be surely disappointed.

I remember few people did DM mode for their map during jams. Maybe that's a better idea? SP map with proper DM mode?

lol. r_drawflat well done

really, i like to play like that. but i'm weird sometimes. i like simplified, abstract and contrasted items and players

and i play against friends in RL or bots. that lag of mine...

Just extend the jam by a few days and add sp monsters 

@Shamblernaut

I've done a lot of DM level design. I'd love a jam so I am in. Not a QW player myself. I play local with my kids or Omicron bots. There's also the DMSP mod that is quite a hoot. If you guys haven't tried it - you should.

@killpixel - I am down for a co-op Jam for sure. I suggested it a few days ago. I think it would require a LOT more coordination and care - maybe a team of two mappers or volunteers to playtest. 

Yeah the coop thing is really interesting. Especially if you force the two players to separate and complete different portions to progress. 

I forgot how vomitously awful "make the game look fucking terrible to win at any cost" DM-orientated engines were.

Shamblernaut, cancel the possible DM Jam ASAP. 

to be fair i doubt many play with that settings
but the setting is there, i tried it, played matches with it and really like it.

anyway, i knew that r_drawflat thingy for like 18 years when i started playing the game, and played one time all the episodes with r_drawflat 1 in winquake. for the same reasons, contrast. i don't remember being multicolored like in quakespasm, though. it was white i think
