do we leave our map open so you can connect at those parts or do you just demolish parts of the map and then connect wherever you see fit? 

don't think of it like making a map. you're just building some interconnected rooms. I hope to not need to do much demolishing, just some fixes and pieces to join things together nicely. so basically, yes, leave things open. 

if i just made a bunch of non connected room? just seperate areas... would you want that in the same .map file, or seperate .maps? 

I might be ineterested in participating... What textures sets are planned to be used for the next one? 

See #513!! 

i guess so, but it may make it more difficult to mix them in. seperate .maps would be best if you go this route.

Jago: yeah! learn to read! rubicon! this is the .wad that must be used.

This sounds cool. What texture set are you using? 

anyone 1 post before this and after asking what texture set we're using will be banned! 

Seems speedmapping is pretty buzzing at the moment...

What's this week's theme again?? 

BANNED!

Theres a terrible lack of crate textures in sm82.wad. What am I supposed to do- create original room designs without filling up space with crates? Preposterous! 

becuase the rubicon crates sucked :P

So does the rest of the set, actually (except maybe the slime texture,) but i don't think i can talk scampie out of using it on those grounds. 

yeah i meant idbase crates, of course :)

ive always liked the set, but i wish it had more to offer. most of them are hard to modify because of odd riveting. and by 'modify' i mean 'copy/paste into new dimensions'. it sorta lends itself to being blocky (hi vondur). 

map with the textures! not against them!

and let me just officially annouce that idbase crates are kosher for this event. 

The Rubicon crates aren't very good. What crates should I use for SM82? 

i won't be able to do speedmap on saturday, and i'm too busy from now until sunday to do it either... since this is a chainmap, is it ok if i send my pieces to you after saturday/sunday? 

yes, but asap after satuday sunday please. want to start getting things together sunday. 

you're thinking of a a little known level from 1997 called "the fly" by markus klar. 

i probably won't get the chance to work on the map parts until i get home on monday... so you may as well get started without me...

how long do you forsee working on the chainmap? it'll help me figure out how long i have to work on it... 

I have sections from RPG, NotoriousRay, Zwiffle, and myself. I guess necros is going to add something monday. We got a good amount of source material here, I expect about a month for me to get everything together, cleaned up, and tweaked nicely. 

I wasn't able to map these few days and will be busy tomorrow. I'll send my section tomorrow evening. ok? 

Did you get any of my recent emails? 

yes, I have just recieved them and replied you. I was offline for a while and will be also offline for a day of so. 

AND What theme is it??
