Well there was that remake project a while back where people remade original Quake maps. Not technically from another game, I know, but that's the closest I can think of. 

remake a small map might be cool 

i made a remake of dust2 for that sm, which actually was a map from another game. :P 

CZG did a remake of the necropolis once - very fucking amazing, as you'd expect. 

I hope I'm not the only person here who ever played Catacombs 3d - specifically Catacomb Abyss 3d - id's 3d shooter before wolfenstein. soe1m6 was a remake of an old catacombs map. most catacombs maps were simple enough to be easily remade as speedmaps, in fact a good literal representation of the whole game's landscape could probably be created by 2 or 3 guys in 24 hours. but the power over my imagination that that game exerts is much greater than that. 

Compress a monster sprawling map into a tiny one, preserving the flavour. 

"chibi" or "mini" versions of famous maps. 

 

i remembered the 'ish' maps and mini-marcher, which is why i suggested using maps from other games 

<Trinca> guys in HL2 where do we supose to get healty?
<Trinca> in episode 1
<Trinca> press E in anyplace 

LOL dont put words in my board! 

Though instead of making a map myself, I ended up playing GTA all afternoon. :P

(Still -> have Trinca axe 100 enforcers in a trainyard with no healty whatsoever) 

 

the Trinca's fagetbook?

roulf 

the only thing that makes it fun is the radio (especially wave-103), otherwise I'd never want to play gta.

not to be off topic or anything. 

next theme:
remake of the doom maps? anyone?

btw/ willem check your mail! 

some doom maps are pretty big, making them in one hour is perhaps difficult (except in a Doom editor, heh). Maybe something for a turtlemap event?

I'd be willing to participate, have done parts of e1m1 and e1m3 in a testmap last year or so... it was fun, basically ignore the grid, ignore texture alignment, use flat textures and make zigzaggy stuff. Top off with a lot of monsters. 

Maybe something for a turtlemap event?

thats would've been fine 

Polarities 

Anyone up for some? Perhaps with a wicked texture set: alice.wad. 

I've tried alice.wad, it's tough to work with imo.

I"m not speedmapping, but I'm going to try to do a 2-week turtle map kind of thing. Metal. 

Now you got me thinking about making a metal/runic map on a red-brick (alice) base with Zwifflonian-type explosive monsters... 

oi 

oi 

speedmapping event with max 50 brushes?


let's stop the lazy life and let's do something?
