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.

sky? Oh my!

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

Well, I Don't

#1461 posted by negke on 2005/12/10 10:00:35

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

Idea

#1465 posted by bambuz on 2005/12/12 10:27:24

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!

Hey, Great Idea

#1466 posted by negke on 2005/12/12 11:36:54

do you have any particular drawings in mind?

Yeah...

#1467 posted by metlslime on 2005/12/12 12:56:45

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...

had some nice artwork for his DM maps.

Perhaps he has some more lying about?

#1476 posted by bambuz on 2005/12/15 14:29:25

I tried making some but they turned out crap. If no-one will make better ones, I can put them out.

Hints on how to draw with mouse? I don't have drawing talent, but I think I could improve...

Concept Proposal For Sm115

After the guys in irc said I should go ahead:
Ziggurats are cool. Strange.

They are huge very ancient stepped brick "pyramids" with a temple on top. Stair walkways led up there. It is rumored that the tower of Babel was actually a big ziggurat. They were most popular in the flat plains of Mesopotamia, thousands years BC. There are still some Ziggurats left, particularly in middle Iraq. Strange tales and cuneiform tablets telling of horrible dictators building these massive things. It is rumored that one ziggurat was entirely covered in blue stone.

Nice!

#1480 posted by metlslime on 2005/12/16 16:20:11

plant that in some terrain and put some monsters on it.

Ok Made Mine

#1481 posted by bambuz on 2005/12/16 19:33:51

btw here are some color codes for a ziggurat:

It's hard to get good monsters for that... medievals are too modern, hell this is supposed to be the bronze age. Not much wizmets suitable either.

Kell? What is that? Did you have an old sketch or are you participating? Makes me bow down in shame.

#1482 posted by Trinca on 2005/12/17 02:04:03

i think the theme is so nice that we should release next week :p to make the maps litle better!

Stupid Theme Idea

#1483 posted by negke on 2005/12/18 05:59:12

christmas chainmap - everybody makes a piece of some winter village for instance, with snowy textures and light chrords; when they are glued some santa gibbing end fight could added...
or something like that.
