i was going to release the pack today. do you want me to hold it back for you? 

I won't have time this weekend anyway. 

what about making a map where every brush must have the same texture on every surface? One brush=one texture. Kinda new conceptual type of mapping along with geocomp, 100brush, monsterfree etc.

Every map ever made with Thred3D ever. 

Square brushes with the same texture on every surface. 

we may call it notexturetool or nosurfaceinspector map 

but yay for a "czg00" theme 

restriction: only make objects with dimensions of a power of 2, and only textures displayed on the surfaces of those objects 

Metlslime mentioned this earlier, and perhaps it has been a theme earlier on but how about doing a speed sp conversion of a quake dm level you have made. If you haven't made any then maybe just use id source or use the source of another mappers level.

That way you get the whole time to concentrate on making fun gameplay and the visuals are already taken care of. I know much of the fun of mapping comes from building geometry, but this might be a fun change.

Also, how about rerouting an id sp map to have different gameplay? Maybe that's more of a turtlemap project to do nicely.

I mention this because I am currently making a quick conversion to Quake of an old q2dm map I made and will be adding sp gameplay to it when it's built because I know nobody will bother to play it otherwise. I've also still got plans to work on sp conversions of all the id dm maps at some time, but I have a lot of other maps that need building first :)

how come when I loaded it into WC 1.6 it doesn't recognize it? 

Couldn't see / use the textures. 

use Quark owns :p the true quake editor hehe 

just open the .wad with texmex or any other texture tool and save it. 

okay, cool.
PS - Quark still sucks. 

I feel like mapping stupid. So how about the following theme:
Use cheats you fuckers I give a fuck about balancing this thing. Silly fugly textures and more than 100 monsters. Not to forget gameplay that feels like cleaning your toilet after diarrhae. I mean very stupid and fun maps that entertain you in a wonderful goofy and meaningless way.
"fuck you this is no theme and it's silly"
I had some certain speedmap in my mind, by necros I think, it was quite like sm26_necros but with swimming and way more weird. sm48_crap (the map with the hotdog) should be good inspiration too.

Here are some inspirational shots:

Deadline would be sunday night so I could compile the pack monday morning (CET). 

maybe if we set deadline next sunday? Trinca would be in then and me. Who else? 

yeee i will have time this week to make a map for sure ;) 

Is that a cow fucking a goat in the last pic?

I'm not in - again; but should be good to see. 

neg!ke and Trinca sent me maps, I made one too.
Is anyone planning making a map until next Sunday/Monday? If not I would release the pack tomorrow. 

I want to make a map. If you can wait some 30 minutes it will be ready today. 

I will sleep now. :) 

Is...???
