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...??? 

Yet again I won't participate, but:

Why not make maps where enemies are purposefully stupid; infighting, attacking walls etc.

The challenge is to make it fun to play.

Whilst exploiting the 'AI' of Quake to make the enemies act dumb. er.

? 

1) Teleport 20 shamblers into a space around the player.
2) The player has a heart attack when this happens (good).
3) Immediately cause the shamblers to start infighting.
4) Wait 20 seconds.
5) The ceiling instantly smashes the player, doing 99999 damage.
6) ????
7) LOL!! 

I thought monsters of the same species couldn't infight. 

Ever seen two grunts fight? 

And Marksmen don't play thier alert sound on seeing the player either.

Also, I remember in CZG's Terra Thing where ten shamblers spawn in, get off one lightning bolt and then gib =D 

grunts are the only monsters that infight with themselves. the code goes something like:

if ( (self.classname != attacker.classname)
|| (self.classname == "monster_army" ) )

..followed by the foundtarget function 

The most pointless victory is the one where both sides are right.


:( 

No, in that case, each side gets an equal number of points. 

 

I am not interested for the simple reason that stuff like that is hard for me to do when speedmapping. I mean, I actually try to map in a very short time window (like 60-120 minutes) and there is no time for monster tricks/perfection etc. I rather spent my time on getting better with the brushwork. 

Crappy AI is already a feature and not a speedmapping theme ;)

How about no monsters? That should free everyone up for brushwork... 

 

just entities?

func_walls....
:D 

you gotta have one brush for it to compile. I wonder can that be deleted somehow. 

Might be a cool idea for making a 'The Cube' map out of loads of func_trains.

Mind you, I can also see that being the epitomy of tedium to play.

And imagine including respawning monsters in that as well.
