Speedmapping Thread!
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.

so what's the status today? did you make any changes zwiffle? or should i work off of eric's version? 
Oh 
No I totally forgot with all the Portal 2 Potato Sack scam thing over the weekend. Sorry! I got swept up in Portal 2 20-minutes-early fever =/ 
So 
With QExpo 11 on the way, I was thinking of doing a weekly turtle map event with the goal of releasing very quick Quake episodes for the QExpo. I don't know how feasible that is or who all is interested - it is a lot of work with not a lot of time. Not counting this week (starting this upcoming Saturday) we'll have 8 weeks until QExpo on June 19th. So of course the maps don't have to be full, normal releases, but a nice bunch of map packs sounds feasible.

Who all is interested? 
 
if will be a speedmap event I will join, is the least I can give after almost 2 years of lazy :( 
I Might Be Interested 
in doing a kind of speedmap episode.
definitely not TM quality.

I'll have something for qexpo, I think, anyway 
I Might... 
...be able to finish 1 turtle map in 8 weeks :) 
 
Then you're doing it wrong D:< RAARGJ RAARGH ARARARGHHHH


Better than nothing. :) 
Much. 
 
Decided To Install WC 3.3 
so I could map quickly (instead of learning Radiant), and have been messing with the Rubicon2 set - I don't know if I can make a speedmap with this, I get too caught up in details like, immediately!

This sounds intriguing. Doesn't have to be "a couple" of episodes, one would be good already. Basically a speedmap pack with interlinked maps and a bit more polish than usual.

Drew: Indeed. Tbh, it would have been surprising if nobody had come up with the idea before. Seems like it didn't work out, though. Speaking of which, what's the status of the city map - did anyone continue working on it? Or did Zwiffle's clochard francais attitude thwart it? 
 
French tramp attitude?

I never really touched the map, I basically skipped my turn when the Portal 2 ARG happened and forgot about it, so I figured Necros was working on it.

Also, I think I'm going to do a slower turtle map thing, since there are 8 weeks I figure 2 weeks per map can come up with a nice 4 map episode, seems more doable imo. 
 
Seems doable, yes. But how likely is it that you (or any participant) will actually keep working on the maps at a steady-enough pace etc. Planning ahead for four maps sounds quite ambitious and may eventually go over one's head (feel like work maybe). Unless you're really talking about slightly more refined speedmaps. 
 
Pretty much just slightly more extravagant speedmaps, yeah. I would skimp on details and refinement for the sake of quantity up to a point, but otherwise they would be bigger, badder speedmaps more or less, with plenty of flaws. 
 
Alright. Though I suggest aiming for three maps then and spending time for the fourth on detailing and minimizing the flaws. Skill settings, too. And if a few other people did at least one map, a small episode should be realistic. 
Testers 
Would help a lot as well if anyone wants to sign up for testing these maps. 3 maps + skill levels would be tough to fine tune without testers!

totally haven't touched that thing since zwiffle weekend.

been swept up in my own stuff this last week or so. finishing up maps for release and just couldn't work up any excitement over the city map. :P

i'll test 
Me, Too... 
...given my total lack of mapping feats, this may be the only thing I can contribute to the expo...

I once made a speedmap with metal textures and zombies (with a "zombie ride"). Does anyone remember which pack it was? I kinda want to build upon that map.

You just made a damn good argument pro multiple screenshots per entry. Also having all authors in the author field.
