Thx a lot for the tips scampie! 

yyya colored lights! 

You've got mail 

Sent me a pic of his first day of work!

As for my own map... got a little bit together, no screenshots yet, pacing myself here :D Not going to be anything huge, I have to work all week, but it'll be fun I promise. 

... 

crappy weekend for me.. barely got a thing done on my turtlemap, and didn't even scratch the speedmap site... :( sorry guys, i'll do it first thing tomorrow when I get home from work. Spent the weekend drinking (turned 21 Friday) and playing Disgaea... meh... I'll have to pick up the pace this week.

How's everyone else doing? 

I'm doing good, will be done with architecture by tonight hopefully. Had to stop for a few hours though to watch Packers, beat Silent Hill3, play Autumn Haunting, but otherwise I'm mapping smoothly. Anyone besides Lev got any pics yet? 

great game yesterday, and unlike the Carolina vs. Dallas matchup, it wasn't a lopsided victory. I esp. liked how Bob Marley caught the winning interception. ;)

Seriously though, I didn't get as much done as I would have liked. I'll put some serious time in my map tonight so I can get a few screenshots up. 

: : : 

Sent me some pics too!

Glad to see people are making some progress!

I've spent the evening on the Speedmap site, and I'm gonna finish html'ing it up right after this post. You should see it live mid-tomorrow along with the expanded maps RPG and Pulsar did! 

Interesting style.

And the only HUD modification I've ever seen that doesn't look totally fucking ghastly. Maybe one little coder out there does have the slightest modicum of taste?? 

I agree with you on the HUD design. Most likely that is the work of Black from the DP team. At this time I'm using using Q3map2 for its quick debugging.
And thanks for hosting the pics Scampie. It'll be a day or two before I can seal up some rooms for some more footage. 

Well this is four days worth of brushlaying!

Don't know if it will be ready for release saturday, I'll try!

...meybe tomorrow. Yesterday was a washout due to me getting sucked into watching Steve Waugh's last innings for Oz.

Good tips scampie... I've already reduced the complexity. 

i'd set the scale of that lava to something big, say 4x4 or 5x5. it won't look tiled and from the distance it looks fine. you can even do 2x2 or 3x3 and most people won't even notice. like the map :)

same for everyone else, of course :P i'm trying to make a map, but i've only got a hundred or so brushes... so i'm not sure if i'll be finished in time. gl to everyone else though! 

necros, I assume the title of that post should actually read Hrimfaxi, 

I've finished the original plan i had for my map, so now i think i've got time to actually constuct a decent ending. 

How shall we name our files if/when we finish the maps?
Like last year (but with a 3 instead of the 2) Something like this: "q1tm3_mappers_name" 

 

That's looking pretty cool! 

sorry distrans/hrimfaxi

i must have seen the post below it and connected the name to it. i suck 

I just want to say (belatedly) that your idbase shot looks cool. 

guess I'll be out of the event this time around again... haven't had much time this week, and I'm still at only 1 room done. I may get up Saturday morning and work all day on it, but I seriously doubt I'll be contributing myself. :(

Hope you others are still marching forward though! There's been some fantastic shots this week! 

I'm pretty much finished with my map. Now i can just go back through it and fix texture misalignments and such. 

the room hulls and most of the interiors. This SOB is a lot larger then I ever intended.
