i think this week i will pass... i�m very entusiantic with my project, things are going wel, if i do will be a small map this time with few enemys! 

but i can't be arsed to find a suitable image.
someone post a few examples and we'll then decide which one is to used...? 

agree :) someone choose and i will give it a try saturday! 

had some nice artwork for his DM maps.

Perhaps he has some more lying about? 

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... 

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.

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

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. 

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

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. 

Built it...

...oh yeah, monsters, gameplay, etc. :)

But I may hold on to this one for next time... 

So I've got one map by neg!ke so far...
Generic, it would be great if you finish that one. Just tell me when you are done, send it to me and I will release the pack then.
Bambuz, where is yours? 

spirit, i sent it to you on saturday evening. 

I haven't received it... spirit@quaddicted.com?
Please send again =)

Generic: Shall I wait for you finishing that map? This time I won't say "i don't wait" ;) 

fuck u guys must set up theme before wensday... at weekend i�m to lazy to map... i prefer to be with my kid and play online! :) 

If you feel like waiting I should be able to get you something tonight -- I am currently at work and unable to map :( 

Just take your time! *^_^*

Bambuz: Got your mail now. Please choose a more intelligent subject line the next time, I think I just deleted the mail when scanning over my inbox this morning :P 

I had ziggurat in the subject line?

What's wrong with people.. If their incompetent spamfilters don't get the post, they themselves delete them. 

You've got Spirit :) 

What is this weeks theme? I can't connect to Quakenet because it blocks asian ips, but would like to join in if the theme is cool. 

No idea :D
I think there is no session this weekend. 

In sydney now, can only enjoy sm vicariously through screenshots.
Desert
Half life
Mountain
Indiana Jones - I'm thinking about the part where he has to pass tests to move on. And about the part with the bad dates - work that in somehow.
underwater
beat the clock
"Carrot tops last stand"
Church
Ugly ugly ugly map - pure "old skool" ugliness
Nothing but a shotgun
prison escape
xmas theme?

that's all I can think of. okay.
ziggurats look cool. 

Since adamllis already submitted a great trickjumping map, I set next sessions theme to "Tricking Maps". With stuff like grenade- and rocketjumps, circlejumps, slopejumps and whatever else. I don't know everything that is possible. Maybe there is some page explaining this stuff? If you use really hard/complicated tricks then maybe a trigger_once or _multiple with instructions for unexperienced players would be cool.

Note that the maps have to be finishable with NQ progs! No QW bunnyhopping stuff please.

Deadline is Monday morning, European time as usual. Send your maps to spirit@quaddicted.com
