that's a good point actually, but maybe if we all set the skybox to void and put a black skybox in id1 the maps will run a bit better? Does id1 worldspawn even support skyboxes?

Whatever we do, I just think we should try and be consistent.

Oh, and include all source .map files too perhaps? It's always nice to know you have a safe backup of source maps ;) 

*a start map (I'll do it if nobody else can be arsed)

Actually, I was going to offer. Gives me an excuse/motivation to make something without requiring skill balancing (I can't play Q1 for shite compared to y'all) or frankly, as much effort mapping (been a while ;)...

Altho it'd probably be better as a hub (as Sham pointed out). 

I think it has good potential. 

not sure though 

 

I like all the rules so far but Mar 30th seems pretty far away. Far enough away that people will lose interest and abandon their levels. What was wrong with Mar 8th which I saw suggested? A month seems more than reasonable for a map like this. 

Willem i dont map at home because i have very few time, so the time i have for mapping is just at launch time at work, but everybody want 8th i make map smaller no big deal.

Let�s just start something :)

I�m pretty sure i can make something proper in +/- 22 hours :) 

It's whatever the crowd wants. I'm easy. Just voicing my 2 cents and gumming up the works, as usual. Ignore me as you see fit. :) 

For me is also o.k ;) 

i have extremely lack of free time :( 

i make map smaller no big deal.

That's partly the point I think. And in this era, a welcome change from the big epic maps. 

ye, that�s why i call "turtle map"

no huge stuff please!

let�s respect what than advice? 

1 - Map must be submitted by March 22nd (heh)

2 - Map must be for Id1

3 - Map must be of the Coagula style (i.e. not overly detailed, abstract and floating in the void)

4 - Skybox is up to the mapper, although if a skybox is used it should be void-like

5 - Or Die !!! 

.
6 - Map must be 2500 brushes or less




I think that Id1 will allow a skybox from the worldspawn

I think that a trigger_hurt with a high value will suffice for a trigger_void (only pitfall for that would be a pentegram, and who says a player isnt allowed to rocket jump back onto a map if they have picked up a pentegram) 

"Map must be submitted by March 22nd (heh) "

Day after my birthday. Nice. :) Works for me... 

hopefullly the impatient ones will be pleased its not March 30th, and the ones who are pressed for time will be happy its not the 15th.

You can never please everyone... 

3 - Map must be of the Coagula style (i.e. not overly detailed, abstract and floating in the void)


No major objections, but I feel the black void thing is enough to tie the maps together stylistically, and be in the 'Coagula' style. If people want to make a detailed map, or somehow make a floating space map NOT abstract, it's kinda pointless making that against the rules. 

So these simple roles are enough, or should we discuss more?

1 - Map must be submitted by March 30

2 - Map must be for Id1

3 - Map must be of the Coagula style (floating in the void)

4 - Skybox is up to the mapper

5 - Map must be 2500 brushes or less

Another question, does anyone offers to make a start map or do we skip that? 

since my time is very very short... i already start mapping, brushes respect all engines, mods and bla bla bla!

now please decide, i use use what u guys think is the best. 

I vote we use those rules for the sake of a good pack, and to start mapping already :) 

Agreed. Map! 

 

than and negke any sugestion?

or u guys also agree? 

so Zlifle, negke and than are u guys in and agree or have any changes? 

just a small note:

my map will have > size and > quality then Zliffle
