It is still in early WIP, those zones will be changed a lot.

* Mfx, love the fantastic feeling that picture has.

* RingofQuaddamage, you are reinventing the Sahara Desert.

@RoQ, you can add your own sky stuff, the texture pack is just a starting point for everyone

And here i thought that it was like in speedmaps: if you have a texture set as the theme, and you can't stray from it, except for one or two textures.

I'm actually using one of the snow textures that were in the pack. 
A Poll 
HOW MANY DOGS WILL BE IN JAM2? 
 
And here i thought that it was like in speedmaps: if you have a texture set as the theme, and you can't stray from it, except for one or two textures.

Personally I would like if everyone would keep to the ikblue/white theme or at least keep the majority of their map consistent with the map jam texture packs, but telling mappers what they can or cannot do is like herding cats some days! ;) 
 
I would say as long as you stick to the main theme then it would be neat. I dont know if I could stomach making another tight scheduled map atm, we'll see how I feel tomorrow. 
Excite 
Tronyn!!! 
 
Well I Made The Last One In Short Time 
I sat back and did sweet F.A. for the most part. Then the last few days I started.

As for jam2. I guess I can try and crank one out.... 
I'll Make One Too 
Probably won't be as crazy as my Honey jam map but we'll see. 
Skacky 
didn�t you post some ikwhite screenshots a while ago? 
Sock I Need Inspiration. 
 
Well, I was planning to do a map of some kind if there was another Map Jam, but I'm not a big fan of those textures. I guess I'll wait for the next one - probably wouldn't have had time anyway.

Try working with them? Maybe they'll grow on you? If not, at least you'll have a head start on a new map.

Yes and I still need to finish that map. My jam map will be an original map though. 
 
Those included prefabs are so good! 
Guys 
Take into account that �t doesn't have to be muslim architecture or even only arab. Ik textures are good for many other architectural styles. ?Rick, you too take this into account. You can find a style that you like with those textures and enjoy mapping with them. 
Anyone Here Know Some Good Skyboxes? 
 
I Thought The Point Of Ikka Style 
was going arabian?

I find the arabian style really pretty to look at IRL but I dunno if I like it in quake. To me the blue set was always this kind of eldritch/eldar world motif.

Who was it that had the incredible white map a while back?

Ahh that's it, Skacky with this beautiful number -

Huh 
 
Yeah my main inspiration for my IKWhite map is Indian, mostly the Taj Mahal and other monuments. Indian architecture is rather close to Persian. 
 
never been a fan of ikwhite, it's too bland and lacking in contrast. even for a crisp white theme it just comes out look awkwardly dirty white, instead of like a bright sparkling palace. however the combination of ikblue might give it the contrast it needs, so this could work :) 
DMSP Mod Support ! 
Guys, for your jam2 maps, may I suggest, **very humbly**, to support the DMSP mod ? This would rise the replayability a lot.

Try the jam1_sock map with DMSP, in nightmare mode. It's like shaving your pubic hair with a chainsaw ! 
 
You don't just "add DMSP support". You'd have to add proper DM settings which is another layer of complication when designing with a deadline.
