I'd love to see Lemuria finished Scamp. Or just combine all the tech stuff into one level. 
Wow 
why do you have so much great-looking unfinished stuff? Lemuria has a really unique look to it and I would love to see a full level in that style. I guess it's probably because (like me) it's more fun building stuff than finishing it.

Shame about the Kell sources, I never forgot about that "netherworld palace" idea he seemed to have going on.

How about a speedmapping theme where each mapper takes one of those kell shots (or one of glassman's old shots) and uses whatever it depicts as a centerpiece for a level. 
I'm Still 
really gutted about bal's unfinished maps. I dunno how anyone can throw that much work at a bunch of maps and then not finish them. Seems weird to me. 
 
dawn you mfx, those shots are super uber fantastic!!! 
Oxymoron... 
I have no idea why there hasnt been a lot done with this set. It's quite nice (except the lack of a door texture, had to kind of fudge one together).

That set was made for a Quake3 level that didn't have any doors in it.

Quake's at the same texture res as Doom, just use the door from Doom :) 
Nope 
I like my door that I made better ;)

There's a really neat lift too actually. 
 
same here fifth, i think they look great. so much better than plain old idbase. I did a couple levels with them, dm levels for q3 and q2 and really liked using them. don't know why q1 users don't branch out a bit more in texture use. maybe it's too much effort to find different wads. but there's a lot of good tech style textures that could be mixed to fantastic results. 
Well ... 
There is some textures that don't look as good when sawn in the Editor than in a map, but i think that the main reason is that people prefer bad already known textures that take the risk. Thats probably the reason too because some people don't like custom mods.

My reason is that i prefer to know how to use Quake's well before moving to the rest. The same as when i use mainly vanilla Quake instead of mods to map. The only thing that goes out of that rule is Quoth entities that give the mapper the opportunity to do some interesting things and others that would need elaborate setups without Quoth.

Fifth, those textures choices look good. Keep on it.

About WIPs, i would be happy the rest of the year if some of this got released. Just by releasing an unfinished one would be enough.

Dunwich/The Experiment 
both are deserving of release based on shots alone, particularly the former - such a great look!
Lun's suggestion to put the necro castle at the end of Dunwich seems possibly fitting if the progression from the church is downwards, beneath the floorboards and into the earth; it would look great situated in a dark cavern rather than a dusky pink sky 
Screenshots Of Projects To Be Discarded In The Near Future 
First up, I was inspired by Sock's monstrosity to make a shitty Coagula map, though it is really much more indebted to (and aiming for the quality level/ scope of) ELEK's Coagula 2. Black fog in lieu of lighting, because who has the time, am I right ladies? No monsters either, nor any real idea of how gameplay will go. I'd say this is like 30-50% done.

A slimy speedmap that I started for Quoth that seems worthy of expanding a bit, even though the gameplay overly difficult in that classic Quoth-implemented-badly way discussed elsewhere. Silver lining: no Bobs!
Probably like 60-80% done, depending whether aforementioned expansion actually happens. Also some fucked up parts I have been avoiding dealing with that will take a minute to fix.

Stop Using Dropbox For Posting Images You Lazy Shits 
 
 
What's the issue with Dropbox? It works for me. At least I don't have to enable a bunch of useless JavaScript to see the pictures, unlike most of the other image hosting sites. 
 
Some work places ban it which is retarded. It's an incredibly useful tool. 
Dropbox 
Blocks public access after a number of views, doesn't allow to open the image separately, is blocked in some work places, etc.

There's no reason to use it over imgur. 
 
That Works. 
But Drew's and Fifth's don't. 
Huh, Didnt Realize That 
Seemed like a nice way to skip the hassle of uploading to quaketastic. So yes I'm a lazy shit. (go map). 
I Dunno 
Why mine won't work. Hmmmmmm 
 
If it's in your public folder, just right click it in Windows Explorer and choose "Public Link". Paste that link anywhere you want to show it ... 
 
Well I don't have any problems viewing anybody's screenshots from Dropbox. There is a Dropbox background where it whines about requiring JavaScript, but I could always just right click and select "view image" if I really didn't want to see that. Doesn't actually bother me though.

Blockage in the workplace is another story. If that's the case for you, then you probably have the same issue with lots of other sites besides dropbox. For some reason, many employers don't like to pay people for surfing the internet.

Especially fun when clients send you blocked URLs! 
 
Dropbox also implies "this file will be deleted whenever I feel like it" while Quaketastic is meant for longtime accessibility. 
 
Rick - Sure, but for any white collar, creative type job the internet is pretty important for a whole array of reasons. Blocking it in the hopes of raising productivity likely does the opposite.

Spirit - Fair point! 
I Use Dropbox 
simply because it's the fastest and easiest way to host files. I always click the link I share to make sure they work (they always do for me on my home pc).

I dont know why it wont work for you. It's unlikely that files on my drop box will be deleted soon after I upload them, I am just not that organised. Also I think it would be unfair for me to throw WIP shots on quaketastic, seems like a waste of bandwidth.
