Just throw me a song title and I'l mangle it in there somehow.

Something like "The Day I Returned my Library Book to Hell" would be helpful ;)

Will finish today. 

but it'll be a better pack if there's more involved, obviously. 

... for the inconvenience =) let's just say you finish "satan's pen pal" and i'll do a very quick "include your nick" and we'll pack these two as sm140: "the misunderstanding", ok? 

i�m in weekend :\ and i dont map at weekend :p so i�m off!!!

i just map at work :p 

another thing i refuse to map for Quoth... 

Ok, bit too much enthusiasm there. I finish off Satans Penpal today then. 

my nick map is done =) gonna go party now! 

Got ta finish off the last section, a couple of hours or so. 

And emailed. 

I thought Aliens was a good idea!!!
Anyone got an .fgd for the original TC?

Song Title's

- What kind of theme was that?!?!?!

Trinca

Mapping at work, now theres a (risky) idea!! 

Read the docs for aliens - AFAIK it's pretty simple, something like place an Ogre and it becomes alien type X.

You can also modify a fgd very easily - just open it in a decent text editor (only use wordpad if you're very patient) and you'll figure it out with a bit of trial and error.

Song Title theme is not dead - I just scotched that particular session, although it still produced two maps. 

I think the theme was irrelevant. You guys just wanted to make a speedmap!!

fgds - I had to change one once cause it didnt have a default 'light' key for lights!!

As for aliens mapping - I'll have to try it (after I've made my current one) 

ijed and i agreed that it would be nicer to have song title as the theme for a turtlemap session. rules would be: you're given a song title by another participant and build a map that fits that (whole) song.
who'd be in? 

Could be interesting. I would give it a shot if it fits my schedule. By whole song, do you mean lyrics too? 

generic: yes. you'd do a map that tries to catch the atmosphere of the complete piece. i would leave it up to each mapper if including lyrics helps this purpose or not... 

Because someone else chooses the music. I can think of maybe five or six tracks I'd like to base a map around, and many of the best maps and packs have been made to a track or album.

I'm pretty sure czg made Insomnia to Enter Sandman, at least in part anyway - ?

And if someone else chooses the track then it means that they want to make a map whilst listening to it, so it calls for some mutability on the part of the end mapper to extract the same good idea, or thier own version at least. 

 

It was the sandman intro story that made me think that. 

OK, I got a penpal map by ijed and a nick map by efdat. Shall I release the pack, or what? I'm not going to wait until January, you will surely find a few hours earlier, unless you're going for that turtlemap thing or whatever.

Song suggestion in any case: Aimee Mann (remix) - It's not going to suck if you wise up ;) 

the two maps are the result of a speedmap session but don't have a common theme (except for: the misunderstanding) 

The song = map turtlemapping session lives. We're thinking over the Christmas holiday and make it a week time limit to build the map.

Each mapper is given a song by another, which they have to incorporate somehow into their map, this should be thematically and have as many references as possible - that's the challenge.

So far myself and efdat are in, and I'm hoping for around four or five mappers to put together a decent sized xmas pack.

This week or two to recruit mappers and a week for the challenge / competition / event to last - producing a map pack in time for Santa's arrival.

Any takers?

I was going to post this as news but that seemed a bit premature. 

I'm mildly tempted, but I can't say anything definite at the moment (a lot of stuff on my schedule for the xmas holidays). 

Release gets its own thread. And the idea is some relaxed turtle mapping with a Christmas present to play through at the end.

Like I say this is the recruitment week - if nobody has the time until after Christmas it can be shifted - we're not talking a mod or anything complex and requiring serious commitment. 

I meant starting a discussion thread in which the details on theme, time, participants etc could be discussed - since this is a mapping event of its own.

Important question: Can we please base it on Quoth2???? >:D 

Quoth III is where the real goods are.
