I remember that day well, Zwiffle. I think I always will. I seem to remember Scampie was mad that Xen tried to make maps that people would enjoy playing? Obviously he deserved worse than banishment, but what can you do? 

than are u going to add skill settings? 

depends how much time I have - it isn't a big deal, so I will just try and make a playable map and worry about skill settings later. 

theme: "episode 1 in one map" (thanks bambuz) - 26th
let's hope there are some more maps this time... ;)

The arguement was over the fact that speedmapping was run by me solely for the enjoyment of the level designers involved. Xenon's point was that he didn't like mapping, he liked people playing his maps, which I felt was the wrong attitude for speedmaps. My point being, if you want people to enjoy your maps, take time and make a real map. If you want to have fun building wacky shit, make speedmaps.

I don't think I ever told him to 'leave', but he did after that anyway. 

I'm not opposed to your view.

For me it's also like a way to learn since people don't expect that much quality from a speedmap, but still play and give feedback. If I had released a proper map back then last summer or so, it would have had all kinds of stupid probs I know how to avoid now.
It's also fun to play some wacky maps.

But whatever. I'm not at home much until mid august. 

we all know that your point was !kb Xenon
and his point was "OMG drama! I quit /del the entire site"



beating dead xen.. er horse, sry :) 

I think both of you guys were a bit over the top - though I think that's par for the course with Scampie. Not in a bad way, necessarily. I have to admit that I was surprised by xen's reaction though - not too happy with it either because I realy enjoyed the maps he'd been making right before he left... Sorry! 

I know nobody will ever use these - probably not even me...

-Edge of the world - waterfalls falling into void, etc 

No turtlemap from me. No inspiration, seemingly no ability to make any sort of architecture as of late. Very discouraging. 

...I recommend you download mexx9. Simple geometry/architecture done on a scale reminiscent of your liking. Very, very effective though, maybe this will inspire. 

I hadn't played mexx9 in about 4 years or so, so when i have time this weekend it will be nice to experience it again, and hopefully i can start to build again. 

i got three turtlemaps so far (headthump, trinca, zwiffle). if there are any others in the making (speeds? than?), please tell me quickly, so i'll get an idea about when the pack can be released apporimately.

sm126 theme: "mini-marcher"
deadline is... somewhen 

I will release it in the future. I just didn't really have time or motivation to work on it over qexpo, and haven't really been mapping hard since either (despite my nick in irc almost always being than|mapping - than is often taken). 

I dug out the DMSP mod for a bit of a blast earlier and I'd forgotten how fun it can be on the right sort of map. How about DMSP as a speed mapping theme?

For anybody who never tried DMSP:

this week is impossible for me speedmap to many work... :( 

Beautiful, breath taking, sexual thought-inducing idea, I think. Didn't you do one of those for a SM once Than? 

Nope. Scampie did though... check the archives... or was it for Q3.

bear did an interesting animal love one once if I remember correctly.

It is SM though, so perhaps you could do something along those lines... quite what, I don't know. Cthons dungeon of bondage? 

Uhm, I was referring to Text_Fish's SM nomination. I don't think anyone should try to top Bears Animal Love SM. Except Madfox, maybe. 

It was for Q3, Q1 doesn't have 'Func_bobbing' ;)

You could do that with a func_train 

I tried something similar with sm122 but attempted to hide the subject matter due to a guilty conscience and fear of potential blindness ;) 

bah ok, generic already sent a map in. i'm going to do one as well today. so everybody else, go map, as the deadline now has to be next sunday (13th) evening gmt! 

AHAHAHA!

All 90 degree angles. see sm23_jay.
No 90 degree angles. aard made a dm like this once.
