no theme this week? 

there've been so many...

what about the "only one texture" thing? (metal4_2..) 

Do you want a session this week? I was a bit worried after last weeks "success"... There should be at least 3 people/map in my opinion. Otherwise it is not really what a "speedmapping session" is about, eh?

I would love to have "art" as theme for some future session, just because sm48 was so awesome and I think "art" would encourage more such maps.

Ha! neg!ke will decide this weeks theme, he deserves it :) 

let's do the "use only one texture" theme then!
i suggest using a more detailed texture (eg. metal4_2, as i will), for it should have multiple stylistic elements that allow variations (trigger clip, skip don't count of course).
be creative - rotate, scale, flip, align in a weird way and so on...

we could do the "art" theme next week, although in my view it's too broad - every quake map is art eventually, isn't it? ;)
maybe it should be narrowed down a bit. 

"Use only one texture" means geocomp? The design is in the brushwork and no so much in the textures, yes? 

but it's more about how you use the one texture you have - brushwork is of course one aspect, but the 'texturework' is what counts most here...

dunno if it works, or if it's just a more restricted geocomp. let's just give it a try. 

If anyone did what I'm imagining, this would be a pretty cool theme. 

let�s see i got a few things in ming :) a small map but intensive game play...saturday will make it!!! 

show us! it's about time you do some mapping again, anyway. ;) 

I map every day at work. And i'm currently doing a sauerbraten map at home. What more do you jackals want?!?! 

 

not that I could play it right now.
I want to make a 1 texture map. 

sauerbraten map? is this a game? 

sky? Oh my!

Is anyone using a sky tex besides their "one"? 

but what i meant by "trigger,.. don't count" was that you can freely use them besides the one visible texture 

http://www.sauerbraten.org/ 

didn't use any but that metal 1_4 or whatsit, the greyish thingy with the recessed skulls.

Even for ceiling and clips and triggers etc.

lighting with torches and flames. 

metlslime i got cube install in my computer is a cool game... but never played online... 

How bout a speedmapping session from concept drawings (not 2d layout which has been done in the past)... someone said that published early concept drawings that don't lead to much final stuff seem to be all the rage nowadays. So let's swim against the trend and actualize some! 

do you have any particular drawings in mind? 

we had a related theme where we drew an intentionally vague layout sketch and people interpreted it the way they thought it was supposed to be. 

yeah, but that one would be somewhat different i guess... 

How many Goatse maps would we get? 

fuck i need more variacion in my maps... :( guess i have to make then smaller and more detailed :( but i like big hodes :( 

Anyone?

Bueller?
