Downloaded, ta much!

generic... thanks, no rush. 

No. More like I'm supposed to give a presentation at NCUR at Dominican University. Something about pi and convergence of various series.

It would be cool to have a meet up if things work out. Aren't there other func/tf people in the San Francisco area? Does killjoy still live in the around there? 

As for other textures, I'm always partial to Knave! Although SM100's chainmap didn't work out too well, possibly the textures contributed to it. Also, can we make the chainmap Quoth-required? It's too good a mod to pass up. Also also, perhaps another reason SM100 was unsuccessful was because of a lack of rules; Scampie used to set some rules for his chainmaps (if I remember correctly) like each area needs at least 2 exits, and each exit needs to be <exact number of units> wide, this way to ensure some sort of compatibility between pieces and whatnot. Just some ideas. 

Killjoy is in SF I think, but I lost touch with him a few years ago. I don't know of any other #tf people that live here. (I think ydnar lives here but he's not #tf and I don't know him personally) 

I don't know what my schedule is going to be yet, but if you want to get a beer or something (or do some chainmapping ^_~) I can let you know when the date gets closer. I think the conference is only active from 9am-5pm, so that leaves plenty of time to get into trouble. 

I think some rules are essential, as long as they aren't too specific.

Having 2 entrances/exits is a good requirement -- even specifying the size -- for middle sections. This leaves the map assembler some options for start and end sections.

For sm100, there could have been an additional requirement of using the knave prefabs for entrances/exits that might have helped.

The only problem I had with the sm100 wad was that there weren't any rock textures ;)

The most important problem I had with sm100 wad was that there weren't enough textures for me (as I usualy use tons of texes in my maps). The ones that were selected for that wad weren't satisfying for me, knave has lots of great textures but most of them didn't appear in sm100.wad 

"machinery"
futuristic, medieval, alien, anything

i also had the odd idea of some "weirded out"-like theme for sm134: supplying a wad with an odd mix of non-together-fitting ;) textures to get some really strange looking maps. or some super fugly ones... 

And the textures are...

comp1_5
comp1_7
rock3_2
sfloor3_2
sfloor4_4
stone1_5
unwall1_8
uwall1_3
uwall1_4
wall5_4
wall11_6
wall16_7

plus any others you rarely see in Quake :) 

forget the animated slipgate textures in that list! 

You have mail :) 

Tesseract 

Snow?
I want func_snow... :( 

that twisted xmas mod had snow. sucked though

Welcome My Machine To The Son 

Phosphorescent desert buttons. 

church void islands 

could you mail me or send me a link to alice mcgee's textures? i'm making an open source game and would like to have these. ty. 

Think again about "open source" and "commercial game textures". 

isn't she married to Sir Ian "Storm" Romero? 

think again about "john lennon" and "imagine no posessions". 

and his battle with a severe bout of projectile leprosy.

Ah yeah...that's the ticket.
