Func_Msgboard: Speedmapping Thread!

Posted by - on 2003/12/06 18:37:36

From now on, this thread will be the place to discuss speedmapping issues. This will also be where all speedmapping events will be annouced. This is just an effort to keep General Abuse on it's topic of 'anything' rather than being about speedmapping every weekend.

Right When I Get All Excited About Mapping Again...

everyone drops off the face of the interearth

Maybe It's

#2475 posted by jdhack on 2008/09/18 09:04:19

post QExpo burn-out?

Well...

#2476 posted by CocoT on 2008/09/19 01:34:28

That actually does happen a lot.

I Was Thinking Recently

#2477 posted by Lunaran on 2008/09/19 03:11:31

about the idea of 'studies'. When an artist does a study he'll copy a photo or he'll sketch fifty faces on a page or do some other kind of experimentation that isn't meant to be any kind of finished hang-on-a-wallable work, and is solely for the purpose of learning by doing.

Is there enough room for experimentation to build study maps? Little one-off things that are meant solely to try things with ogre-architecture interaction or func_train rides or backtracks or even just what role func_doors play in a map?

Well...

#2478 posted by metlslime on 2008/09/19 06:49:01

i actually do that... for a few purposes:

- small map to try out a new texture set i'm working on

- small map to test out the quakec for a new entity

- small map to test out a gameplay encounter that is more scripted than usual

Who Doesn't Do That?

#2479 posted by Spirit on 2008/09/19 09:14:09

Nice Idea, But

#2480 posted by Lardarse on 2008/09/19 10:13:15

I don't know if 2 hours is long enough to have such an experiment...

Well, Testmaps, Yeah

#2481 posted by Lunaran on 2008/09/19 15:34:53

we all have testboxes for everything new we've made like qc and so on. But who does it just for stuff Quake already has?

Here's Some Inspiration For Ya

Huh...

I Would Like To Resubmit

#2484 posted by Lunaran on 2008/10/03 00:08:42

"have fun storming the castle" as a possible theme.

Mini Chainmap Idea

#2485 posted by negke on 2008/10/03 17:10:08

Three people, each one builds a room or part of a level on the specified side of a premade Y-shaped middle wall with three doorways in-between. The texture theme is free for everyone to choose (and will hopefully differ from the others).
Anyone interested in giving this a try this weekend?

Hmm

#2486 posted by nonentity on 2008/10/03 17:46:20

So kinda like that game where the first person draws a head on a piece of paper and folds it over, then the next person does the body, folds it over, etc?

Cool.

I Would

But I'm afk this weekend. I should be free next weekend if you can hold off.

Possibly in case of missing wad put the wad to the same dir as qbsp.

ARGH

SUPER COLLIDER 128

Send the maps to me, I will package it Monday during the european morning hours. If you make a map with 128 monsters then you are a cockgoblin.

#2491 posted by Spirit on 2008/10/10 12:50:12

And that is sm144.
And the introduction is not the theme, the SUPER COLLIDER 128 is.
