Func_Msgboard: Speedmapping Thread!

Posted by - on 2003/12/06 18:37:36

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.

Uhm...

Come on! I think/thought Speedmapping is held on Saturdays normally. The last packs it seemed bit like a "somewhen on the weekend" event. It is getting more and more out of hand it seems. This weeks speedmapping was kind of a mess so I volunteered to collect and package the maps. I wanted to be a bit strict on the deadline. If you feel leftout now, then I apologize. You are welcome to do the job next time, the hosting at Quaddicted.com is easy and free.

you did a good job.
Some shit-getting is inevitable, one has to just make bold decisions and act.
(Few come to thank afterwards or say that it's the right thing, but I think it was in this case).

More discipline! Less slack!

Actually...

I thought Spirit did a good job with the event, no shit-giving intended. I just thought it was hair-splitting to release something Monday morning versus Monday night. Oh well...

Bambuz, go map!

You Forget

Spirit is a reverse-gargoyle, and turns to stone during the night.
But yeah, thx for collecting/hosting the maps, good pack but I didn't finish the crate map (lost/dizzy/bored.) Oh well O_o

Because of Thanksgiving this week (w00t for American holidays) I'm going to have a 4-day weekend, so I'll be able to map this weekend! Yay! Someone pick a theme!

#1414 posted by Trinca on 2005/11/21 14:50:28

nuclean war!

Deadline!

#1415 posted by Hrimfaxi on 2005/11/21 15:55:38

Sure there must be a deadline.
It can't matter that much if a map is in one pack or another. After all there are only 7 days between packs (Well most of the time 8-))
Sunday would be fine as the release day.

Nice you jumped in and collected/hosted the maps Spirit!

Thanksgiving is just the opposite for me -- I won't have any opportunity to do any mapping :( -- but I do have an idea for a theme. How about doing what I was working on for sm111, a space/runic metroid-inspired map that'd make you wish you could roll up into a little ball and drop bombs all over?

Or maybe we all could take a stab at finishing that piece of a map Drew was working on?

Yes.

Actually I've got a couple. I could try to put a zip together before I leave, if I get around to it.

Generic's Second Suggestion Sounds Interesting

#1418 posted by negke on 2005/11/22 04:55:03

"build a map based on one of drew's scraps" or something...

#1419 posted by bambuz on 2005/11/22 06:34:23

I support it. Push 'em up, Drew?
(or mail to my gmail address, meizah, so I can mirror them)

Btw hrim do you have lots of scraps?

Okay

#1420 posted by Drew on 2005/11/22 11:38:55

I'll get that together.
I guess I should include .map files and .bsp files in the zip?

#1421 posted by Drew on 2005/11/22 11:39:45

Should I mail them to Bambuz, or Spirit, or what?

#1422 posted by Drew on 2005/11/22 12:42:26

I mailed my zip to Spirit. Hopefully he'll put that shit up soon. I want to see the results, it would be very rewarding for me.

damn, you're one kinky guy indeed...

Bambuz

#1424 posted by Hrimfaxi on 2005/11/22 16:20:53

hrim do you have lots of scraps?

No I hardly have any. The stuff I make allways seems to make it into a bigger map or I just finish it of as a small map.

#1425 posted by generic on 2005/11/22 19:26:01

You have mail :)

I haven't said that in a while. If you can't do something with it, could you please get it to someone who can.

CHEERS!

Aw Man

#1426 posted by Zwiffle on 2005/11/22 19:51:00

Swanky map. Too bad IT WILL NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY! I'm keeping it ALL to myself!!! MUAHAHAHA!

Yepp

#1427 posted by Spirit on 2005/11/23 01:10:48

I upload the archive as sm112_drewscraps.zip since it is the theme or what?
http://www.quaddicted.com/filebase/sm112_drewscraps.zip

If I shall do the packaging again then the deadline will be Monday morning, 10am German time (that's GMT isn't it?). This is Sunday evening/night for America I think so it should be fair ;)

#1428 posted by Trinca on 2005/11/23 03:23:10

what is the theme???
i�m already at more than meadle of a map... but maby i will transform it into a big project in this one...so i still have time to respect a theme and start another one... if anybody pick one!

German Time

#1429 posted by bambuz on 2005/11/23 05:22:06

is CET, aka GMT+1.
So the speedmap package deadline is
monday 9 am GMT.

#1430 posted by Trinca on 2005/11/23 05:40:55

since there is no theme i think this one will be my map... just a light of one part...

Omg, Those Scraps Are Crazy!

#1431 posted by negke on 2005/11/24 05:08:06

trinca: the theme is to do something with drew's map scraps (spirit's link above). of course you're free to follow any other theme you want.

drew: i'd say you should be forced to make a chainmap from all those scraps as a penalty theme for giving out so many huge and good-looking pieces! >:]

#1432 posted by Trinca on 2005/11/24 05:52:21

i�m making a big map but guess i whould not have time to finish untill monday i have so many idears in my head... :)i will try to finish... but will be big!!! but is not a speed map ~:( is taking me to long...

I Like Being Punished.

#1433 posted by Drew on 2005/11/24 21:40:39

But I can't do much now. No time left for fucking inspiration! I've got to pack!
You do it for me, mkay?
