Speedmapping Thread!
From now on, this thread will be the place to discuss speedmapping issues. This will also be where all speedmapping events will be annouced. This is just an effort to keep General Abuse on it's topic of 'anything' rather than being about speedmapping every weekend.

SM205: The Randomizer Special! 
SM205: The Randomizer Special!

Mapper's block may seem like a joke at first, but it's a real problem! Coming up with ideas is hard sometimes, so that's why I built the ZungrySoft Entertainment Quake Map Idea Generator!

Here's how it works: Go to the link below and run the script by pressing the play button in the top left. You will be given 3-4 requirements that your map must follow. (Make sure to save the result somewhere or take a screenshot.) You may only run the script once, so you have to deal with what you get!

You have about 2 days. Good Luck!

SM206: Prototypes 
We have some newcomers to the scene, so let's give them an opportunity to map!

Complete a map that only uses textures from Khreathor's Prototype 1_2 wad http://khreathor.xyz/site/prototype/

id1 progs, no custom music.

Send me the results at AndrewYoder@live.com by Monday 00:01 Central European Time.

Don't crunch on this. The prototype wad should help you all focus on gameplay without worrying so much about visuals (which always take the most time). Just find a few hours over the next couple days to make a map for fun :) 
SM207: Ceremonial Speedmaps 
The undeniable classic. The golden standard of wizard maps. The meat and potatoes of Q1SP. czg's unforgettable Ceremonial Circles is the theme for this speedmap session.
Keep it simple. Green wizard theming, re-use of space and a lot (maybe too many) ogres on perches.

SM209: GIMME YO TRAPS JAM! 
Have you always longed to piss off the player in a really creative way, this is your chance. Pull the floor beneath their feet, make the room shrink, have the lava rise.

The gist of this JAM is all about traps and game-play revolving around ambushes and nifty placed enemies to surprise the player. Think you can do it?

Play with their expectations in a spectacular way.

Since Arcane Dimensions has lots of stuff that can be used in such way it will be required for this run.

If 
i make a map for id1, will it work the same on AD or will there be differences, apart from the non-lit items and the weapons? I have never played AD and getting to play one of those huge AD maps now on a hurry is like a chore. 
You Have An Email Address To Submit Maps To As Well? 
 
Cocerello 
Most, if not all, things will work as normal. id1 map hacks are verboten (and not really necessary) though as AD was extensively rewritten under the hood. 
I Remember 
Sock writing that he tried to keep the code as it is so hacks and other things that are considered normal by the community still work, but that's all, and i do not know if he ended up keeping it that way.

Sm212 Dm Remix 
sm212-dm-remix

Choose a deathmatch map from the original game (dm1 - dm6). Now remix it for single player! Feel free to use the original map sources as a base to speed things up. Or use the theme and create something new that evokes the original map in a clever way. Players should at least recognize the "vibe" of the original inspiration.

This event will use a mod (see below). A basic start map will be created, so set your trigger_changlevel "map" key to "start".

Sm213 Low Gravity 
sm213-low-gravity

Make a single player, low gravity map with the latest version of the SMP mod. You can set your level's gravity amount in the worldspawn. "Ziggurat Vertigo" (e1m8) was set to 100 but your map can be anything below 800 as long as it's bouncy, floaty and gib-filled! Make Sir Isaac Newton proud, GO MAP!

This event will use the SMP mod (links below). The latest version allows for custom gravity settings and suspending items in mid-air. Please read the readme for details and check out the video linked below if you need more info. A basic start map will be created, so set your trigger_changlevel "map" key to "start". Please add 3 coop starts and 8 deathmatch starts for mulitplayer.

Please make sure your map is tested in Quakespasm since Quakespasm-Spiked can occasionally break map compatibility in some gameplay setups.

sm214-prototypes-2

Similar to last year's jam sm206-prototypes. Complete a map using only textures from Khreathor's Prototype 1_2 wad http://khreathor.xyz/site/prototype/

Great newcomers and fun for all! This time with a theme, Vertical space! Consider designs that travel up or down, overlapping areas, multi-tier rooms or just do whatever you want because it's prototypes!

One week long jam focused on gameplay without worrying about visuals (which always take the most time). A few hours over the next week to make a map for fun.

Please make sure your map is tested in Quakespasm as Quakespasm-Spiked can occasionally break map compatibility in some gameplay setups.

SPEEDMAP SNACK PACK 2: SNACK HARDER 
Posting this on behalf of fairweather who is running this. (I am not involved with this so I can't asnwer questions.)

YOUR MISSION: Pick a slot and create a map in the given theme with the given weapon limitations. Levels must be able to be completed from a 'shotgun-start' and have standard Quake gameplay (keep it meat n' potatoes!).

Levels will be assembled after the deadline, meaning that all levels should be made with the fact in mind that the player can have any given weapon in each slot. For example, levels in Slot 2 (Egypt) and onwards have the capacity to have the Rocket Launcher, so keep an eye on breakable bits of your level.

Focus on something small and digestible, mappers can create several maps over the 48hrs, but very low quality maps will not be included. Keep it lean!
Do not include Shub or Cthon in your levels.
Do not include custom music or external skyboxes in your levels.

Feel free to use whatever textures you'd like that fit the themes below, I will supply basic texture wads but don't feel limited to them! The slot themes are...
- SLOT 1: Cr8 Base (shotgun, nailgun) (secret SSG / GL)
- SLOT 2: Egypt (SSG, GL) (secret RL/SNG)
- SLOT 3: Firetop Mountain (SNG, RL) (secret LG)
- SLOT 4: Knave (everything)
Weapons from previous slots are available to be used in the next slot.

Before submitting make sure...
- To give me your chosen slot.
- Your changelevel goes to Start! I will be changing the changelevel trigger via an ent file.
- The map is sealed.
- The map runs in Quakespasm.

STARTS: JAN 22 10:00 AEDT
ENDS: JAN 24 10:00 AEDT
COUNTDOWN: https://www.tickcounter.com/countdown/3017145/smsp2
FILE NAME: Anything, will be changed upon pack release by myself.
TEXTURES: Anything that fits the given slot theme.

Sm215 Quad Run 
sm215-quad-run

Make a single player, "Quad Run" map with the latest version of the SMP mod.

Merriam Webster's defines a quad run as "An unrelenting show of force using an ancient blue rune to decimate large swaths of multi-dimensional foes." As long as your map has at least one usable Quad rune, you're in business. But the more the merrier! Go nuts and make a fun map.

We encourage all beginners to join this event. Speedmapping is a great way to learn and hone your creative decision making skills. With the time limit in mind, no one is expecting a masterpiece.

This event will use the SMP mod (links below). Please read the readme for details and check out the video linked below if you need more info. A basic start map will be created, so set your trigger_changlevel "map" key to "start". Please add 3 coop starts and 8 deathmatch starts for multiplayer.

Please make sure your map is tested in Quakespasm 0.94.3 since Quakespasm-Spiked can occasionally break map compatibility in some gameplay
setups.

Sm216 Communal Paint Bucket 
Posting on behalf of @ZungryWare#1545 from Discord
SM216: The Communal Paint Bucket

This speedmap is a bit different. You have three days to build a map, but you will make it with custom textures created by the other participants! During the first day of the event, you will make your textures and send them to @ZungryWare#1545 . The second and third days will be spent building the level with everybody's textures! Levels can be themed however you like, but you must use what's in the WAD!

To Clarify:
Friday Morning (now): Event start.
Saturday Morning: Submitted textures are packaged into a WAD and distributed.
Sunday Morning: WAD will be updated with any late texture submissions.
Monday Morning: Maps are due.

Rules:
- You may begin building the level now, but you won't know what all of the textures are until tomorrow.
- You may submit textures without building a level and vice versa. But doing both is highly encouraged!
- You may not use textures outside of the WAD to make your map.
- Textures (and maps) must be created during the event. You may reuse elements of your other textures (like edge highlighting or substance designer workflows), but the end result should be able to be reasonably considered a brand new texture for this event and not just a variant of an existing texture.
- Utility textures (trigger, clip, etc.) will already be in the WAD. Things like buttons, liquids, skies, and key indicators will not!

DEADLINE: 2/21/2022 9am PST (5pm UTC)

Bah 
forgot this at the end!

SUBMISSIONS: ZungrySoftEntertainment@gmail.com or ZungryWare#1545 via Discord. Submit textures as a WAD file containing your textures.
