Speedmap Session 70!

This Saturday! 4pm EST! 9pm GMT! Meet on irc.gamesurge.net in #speedq1.

Theme?... First week of our second megatheme... 'A Tribute to Headshot'! Each week we'll be using classic sets used in Headshot's classic deathmatch maps!

First off, we have... Red Brick! Red Brick walls, 'tech' tile floors, tech lights, and riveted trims! And we might as well give mappers a bit more choice, you can make Grey Brick maps too, which are more castle themed than Red Brick. You may make Single Player or Deathmatch levels, as always.

I'd suggest looking at the maps 'fsdm1' (or it's later remake 'qcon1'), 'ztndm6', 'warfare', 'dapak9' (grey brick), and 'xl1dm2' (also grey brick). Damaul7 is a dm/sp hybrid of both Red Brick AND Grey Brick, so it may be good to look at that too.

Maps can be presubmitted to scampie@spawnpoint.org, sorry for being late with the announcment...

(no asking about sm68 or sm69, we'll get back to those later) 

Themes will be:

Sm70: Red Brick/Grey Brick
Sm71: Dapak
Sm72: Spinev2
Sm73: Dead/Agenda Textures

http://www.planetquake.com/peek/authors/headshot.html is a good place to see his old maps. 

hehe scampie you red brick fetishist :) 

Wads be provided for us or do we have to get our own wads from the maps to use? 

all the the textures are in quake101.wad. 

is true for this week and next, but yeah, I'll rip wads every week if people can't figure which textures are used in all these classic maps. I'll get one for sm70 up tonight. 

i've never played any of the dm maps you mentioned. 

slightly late with this (hour before start...) wad of textures used in red brick and grey brick maps.

"Maps you have to play through twice"

This is open to interpretation, but it might mean that the changelevel points back to the map and this time you have a RL so you can access the true exit, or maybe it means that you do the rune trick, or maybe it means that you have to make a choice so you can't experience everything the first time. 

kinda like a "choose your own map path" map... branches to two different alternate routes depending on which exit you choose, which could mean play through it 3 or 4 times if yo uwant to play through all the paths. Neat. 

there are so many things that you can do. 

a bit too complex to properly accomplish in a speedmap. Sounds betterfor a turtlemap idea. 

not really -- i pulled off that idea for a speedmap once. 

Dapak11 and Spine2 but all of the download sites listed on PlanetQuake/Dapak and http://www.planetquake.com/peek/au... are non-functional. Also, only Dapak11 is available at gamers.org of the Dapak series. To be maps of that degree of influence and caliber you'd think PlanetQuake would have kept them around. 

I'll be uploading all of Headshots maps and the Dapak pack this week to my site, so let's not worry about that. 

Thanks Scampie ;) 

all maps are available at http://maps.quakeworld.nu/?a=maps&game%5B%5D=1
so dont bother uploading 

sm71 is tomorrow! same time as usual, 4pm EST. irc.gamesurge.net #speedq1

Theme is Dapak. DM or SP maps are acceptible. Use the link in the post by gibbie above mind to download all the Dapak maps if you need referance.

email is still scampie@spawnpoint.org 

You've just got to change the URL of the link, and the d/l's should work. You just put,

fileplanet.com/dl.aspx?

before the file name path, eg

http://www.planetquake.com/dl/dl.asp?dapak/dapak10.zip

would become,

fileplanet.com/dl.aspx?dapak/dapak10.zip

should work for most planetquake sites where the d/l's don't seem to work. 

"http://www.planetquake.com/dl/dl.asp?dapak/dapak10.zip"

would become

"fileplanet.com/dl.aspx?dapak/dapak10.zip" 

I can't try again 

...we didn't get enough bloody Dapak clones the first time around >:( 

I thought it all was a result of the last time Pappy did some spring cleaning, but that is really good to know. I think I'm going to mosey over to Quakelab and see if I can get those links to work. 

Begin CnP!
