Thanks for the theme inspiration and suggestion, you have given me a corker of an idea. Now, I HAVE to make a map.
"As usual Monday deadline, send maps to me."
Can someone give me the rules again? When can I start mapping for a Monday deadline? Does it need to be done in 2 hours or what are the current rules? 1.a.01) All maps herein created by an author (referred to hereafter as "the mapper") are to be submitted no later than 0700 hours, Central Standard Time.
1.a.02) If a map's creation time is greater than 2 hours of time, the mapper responsible must cut off his left thumb and swallow it live on web cam. 1.b.01) Just map and get it in by Monday some time. Sheesh. usually I map for 2-5 hours. I don't think I've ever gone longer than that, and I've never broken it up, unless you count 15 minute breaks to like, pick my gf or something like that.
I've never made one in less than an hour. But shit, its tough mapping with no thumbs. The rules are: Have fun!
If you feel like it, map 60 minutes. I often try that. :D If you want to invest hours, well, that's your choice. It's good to try things and stuff. I would not ever spent hours polishing the gameplay, lighting, texturing or things alike though. Speedmaps aren't worth that in my opinion. And you can totally ignore any theme (which I might do this week because I want to try something rather different). ;) I think i will jump of this week ;) negke is pressing me up to finish tchak ;) and i want to start beta in end of month to release during christmas ;) i need to start a fresh map in 2009 :)
Heh, OK, I know the idea is to just map and have fun but I didn't want to break any rules
Check the maps for SM141
Dont know how long I spent on mine, but it wasn't as long as I probably said it was, but I got slated for it being too polished, and not a REAL speedmap. I dont care really, it was fun to make. MY only midevil map. Apparently it was a turtlemap, but if I had taken a week it would have been even better. I was on my midevil mapping honeymoon.... yesterday after finishing my lunch, I grabbed a legal pad to sketch out the ideas for the map and how the entities would need to be organized to make it work, when after the eighth page of detail it occurred to me that the idea is a little too involved for a speed map. I'll still take some time to map for it, though.
gotta skip this week, i've fallen behind in my MCAT studies, I need to spend the whole weekend and Monday catching up. sux
I have to be up early tomorrow so I don't have any more time to work on it. Here is the map file if anyone feels like throwing some entities at a
basically complete but entity free structure. It's in Quake 3 format. http://mortisville.quakedev.com/dred1_1.map If not, I'll finish it up next session. Ditto to Headthump.
My speedmap has morphed into something more quasi turtleish. Minus the quality that title implies... I tried to whip something together quickly but I'm burnt out. I have a theme suggestion for next week though: Finish an aborted speedmap. "Finish some map scraps". Should be easy, most ppl have many lying around, and could do more than one map for it.
Not Finishing?

Ladyboys #2545 posted by negke [88.70.0.211] on 2008/11/24 09:57:04 obviously The preferred term is fancylad, or Nancy, but, yeah, I wimped out. Lets take "finish an aborted speedmap" as theme next week. I didn't quite finish mine as wel, but with a week more I can expand it an finish for next session.
And since HeadThump and Drew has speedmap scraps as well we can have some "double" speedmaps, guess it will be turtlemaps then? Well who cares as long as we get some maps!
