does that mean you won't have a map for this pack? or that i have to wait until tomorrow? 

so i wasted most of it ;) eager to see your maps for sm127. 

Proceed with the pack. I'll try to slip this one in next time... 

building on strange animal anyone? even if the animal is a jellyfish and the building a crate... 

 

i might join is this week theme!!! any sujestions? 

...dark the sky at noon!

Levels based on the frozen moment at the apex of an eclipse. 

Do the jellyfish, even if it feels wrong. DO IT! 

Great novel, good theme for a speedmap! 

officially, it's still the theme from #1769. there could be some crazy maps if people are imaginative (more than i was) http://negative.net.tc/images/sm128.jpg :D

so why not have "dark sky at noon" for sm129? unless of course you are all eager to map for it now... 

 

efdat confused. might do an animal.
@neg!ke: image link broken. 

take me out :\ i will just finish my base map and mapping is over! 

Errr... when you say over, I hope it's not definitively over... is it ? 

it might be JPL, i found good friends here u,neg|ke, Spirit, Biff, Ankh, Inertia, Vondur, Kell, Daz, Card0, Vodoo, Generic e.t.c (sorry for those i forgot... but some people that are in "POWER" are the crap and i sick of some coments on my maps, i now they suck but at least i try... my old clan invite me again to go back to QW and honestly i think few people apreciates my eforts :| feedback on maps are less everyday... and feedback is what make me map! so guess... i�m loosing to much time on this... and will play again QW 

u,neg|ke, Spirit, Biff, Ankh, Inertia, Vondur, Kell, Daz, Card0, Vodoo, Generic e.t.c

Sorry, I haven't been on line much lately to chat. I've been recovering from the bite of a tenacious little brown recluse acquired on a recent hiking trip in Georgia (I should have took pics of my leg, it turned a wicked shade of necrotic black). My energy has been sapped for doing much. 

HeadThump sorry :) u have been always great sorry!!! SERIoS!!! 

I had some explanations from Trinca, via email, and it seems that Scampie (again ?.. but not the only one) is the source of Trinca's disappointement... I don't know what happened exactely between these 2 guys, but it is not the first time I hear that Scampie is flaming somebody with no particular reasons... just because he is not in a good mod.
I know that the internet is not a place of Heaven, but please guys, would it be possible to be fair this time ? Voodoo already experiment stupid comments on his mother some months ago (maybe more than a year now), and he was about to leave definitively (BTW, we don't see him much more...)
I react because everybody is complaining the Quake community have less and less active members. And when a new guy comes, he is flamed because he is not as good as pro mappers... or because he doesn't speak a perfect english... WTF !! Come on, be serious !! Don't you remember how bad you were when you started mapping.. So please be indulgent, and particularly with interested people that have a self-commitement to Quake mapping as Trinca has.. I don't think he deserve this attitude, and I don't think it is the right attitude to let our community growing... I know it is not a popularity contest, but rather than writing: "your map sucks", it is very negative, I'd rather prefer to write: "well, it's not perfect and you have to improve this and that..." it is much more constructive, and really helps people to improve themself...
If some people want elitism, so they should go to game industry, and let other guys, that take mapping as a hobby, to have fun with their "crappy" maps....
In anyway, I seriously hope that trinca will not leave the forum, because as of today, I think he was the most prolific mappers I saw (with all other speedmappers) from a long time...
I think everybody should think about it. 

To be honest I don't see flaming or elitism very much in the creative side of the Quake community [possibly because I'm not involved enough, who knows] but whenever I have witnessed it I've noticed it coming from jaded veterans who seem to have lost the passion they once had for mapping and now just sit around jealously slagging people off for the most ridiculous things.

The main thing to remember if you're on the recieving end of such vitriol is that those people don't matter any more. The only reason they're so aggressive is because they have nothing to offer the community any more -- or at least they feel they don't. It doesn't matter how well respected somebody once was -- their opinion will only matter for as long as they take a positive and active part in the community. Because lets face it, no community needs negativity.

Trinca, I really think you should stick around because you produce fun maps and you're a nice bloke as well. I'm sure the same can't be said for a lot of the more negative members of the community, so if anything, they're the ones that should leave. 

Headthrump is another Quaker that dont go to #terrafusion in Quakenet becouse of same kid... but nobody makes anything he ruless... 2 days ago ban inertia and voodo just becouse it feel like...

fucking creap never was a good mapper all the stuff he made for Quake was CRAP and think he is something...

yes is a STUPID KID!

ohhhh sorry John Fitzgibbons u are also a great guy :) sorry 

I totally agree with JPL's and Text_Fish' posts. But Trinca, don't flame here. I know Scampie and you kinda hate each other but don't make a "chick fight"(?). Strife does not work well in messageboards, especially when it comes from a chat. Argueing here will only leads to confusion and bad vibes. Discuss, don't fight.

I saw Scampie say something in #tf maybe 3 times while I was there (and I was quite regularly). I think that the #tf community should not accept someone being non-part anymore and then acting like this in such a high position (owner flag in the channel, no?). 

Headthrump is another Quaker that dont go to #terrafusion in Quakenet becouse of same kid...

I've had a few run ins with Scampie here, but nothing I didn't shrug off in a few hours because I don't hold grudges. I'll just leave it at this, Scampie is a complicated individual.

One of the reasons I don't go to #terrafusion is because I can be kicked off. I just wont put myself in any type of vulnerable position.

Another reason is I spent a great deal of time in Mirc back in the nineties and it was effecting the productive side of my lifestyle, so I quit it cold turkey a long time ago.

Having said that though, after a seven year gap, I have started going to the QuakeC channel on occassion because I've noticed some interesting individuals associated with Inside3d have been coming here in recent months. 

ok is over! no more comments about this! i�m decided... i will not go anymore to terrafusion untill scampie leave the channel! 

I think a better solution (at least for me) is to hang out on Func instead and make maps and try to kindle the community here. I became a lot more productive after I stopped going to TF; though that productivity has usually been channeled into non-mapping fronts. I keep up with most of the people that I want to through IM, e-mail, and whatnot. 

talking about normal stuff again i will not make any speedmap
