to me the gnu licence reads like it's possible to use parts of original maps as long as the due credit is given. so if the sm130pack contains a notice like 'based on the works of ... and released under the terms of gnu' the theme should be fine.
nfscd (what could that mean? :)): go map! please. 

it means the sources (.map files) have to be included. 

the source code must be included and itself be GPL'ed again. also you should include a text file with the license. no biggie. it's mostly called gnu.txt.

otherwise you can do with it what you want. 

I just submitted a renamed version of pypain that was released in the traps thread. 

got it, thanks.
i will try to get something done today as well. 

"revisiting familiar places"
take a certain area of any original map (NOT THE ENTIRE MAP!) from the released sources and build your map around it. be sure to include your .map file when you submit it, because of the GPL thing! 

I totally forgot about mapping on Sunday. I'll to get a map done for sm130. 

howdy folks. i've been gone for a 3/4 of a year now. i wish i'd started speed mapping earlier in life, but what i got to do was real fun and i learned a lot. i can't map or play (or even check email hardly) in my current situation, but good job for you men that keep the quake alive! maybe at christmas time i will be able to squeeze out a speedmap. until then, quake on bros. 

Come on, give us the maps!
At least I mapped this week... 

won't have enough time for mapping in the next 2 weeks. grr. got ideas though. grr� 

i�ll not have time this week for sm :\ dont count me in for sm130! 

only got one map (spirit's)...

adamllis: you're always welcome to contribute a map again :) 

one map and such a crappy one. :( 

with a crappy speed map of my own,
but this Holiday end of week I'm going to try to pull something together for the Base pack and hope to have something decent enough to tweak throughout December. 

the first speedmopping (speedmodding meets speedmapping) event takes places in the first week of december, starting at 12pm EST.

teams will be random; the theme is announced once the event starts.

if you like to participate (you better do!), give word here or in this thread: http://forums.inside3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=558 

Personally I'll be busy with my Base map for some time, but wouldn't it be more sensible to do it a little later in December [or early in January] when people are more likely to have some time off work/education for the holiday season?

I'm not a member of inside3D, so just figured I'd post that here incase one of the event organisers sees it and thinks it makes sense. :) 

Yeah the first week is NOT going to work for me. That's like crunch time for school for me. After the week of the 17th I'll be done with school and I'll have plenty of time (ie, exams + paper next week, 2 programs due after that, homework, + finals.)If there is anyway to push it back later, I'd totally love to do a Lolo mod with Asaki. 

ATTENTION!!!

There's been a slight change of plan. The event will be held on DECEMBER 10th thru the 16th, to help get past the college finals and before the Winter holidays.

Thank you everyone. Please, come into #speedqc on irc.anynet.org any time from the beginning of December to get some teams created and to get to know your team mates if you don't already. 

You guys suck.
Let's extend sm130 2 weeks and then there will be three maps by me...
:( 

My finals start December 15th and end on December 19th. :( 

 

The new theme? I have a couple hours between procrastinating studying and my last programming assignment to try and do some speedmapping. 

i can two! 

since we have put together a chain mapping event.
