I'd like to do some speed mapping, (I'm busy for the next few days though so give it a week or so :P). here are some suggestions for a theme

Islands
Bridges
Wooden Construction
Modern Architecture 

I have one map, but I don't know which her theme

I have two maps and I want to make a sm168. If someone else will do the map, I'll be waiting 

... release it: it would not be the first time somebody releases a sm "alone"... :/ 

So, how about a "Let's try Trenchboom" session this weekend? 1 hour to get into it, another hour to map or something like that. So 2 hours spent as you like. Theme "Oh my god, it's all 3D!". Not even negke may spent more time on it and if his map is polished he will be disqualified. Seriously, speedmaps are

Anyone interested? I might install need to install Windows for this... :P 

I've started messing around with an idbase theme (actually I've started remaking Deck 16 from UT for a bit of fun/practice)...

This editor is crazy. 

I'll hang around in IRC if anyone has questions. 

What you can do good in one hour? It may be better turtlemapping? 

I've been tinkering all day with my level, if by speed mapping you mean done in less than a week then maybe. 2 hours isn't going to be enough time for my slow ass.

This is probably a couple of features away from being the perfect map editor (better texture alignment and some kind of curve making tool). I dunno what to do about the alignment though, it's really skewed on diagonally rotated brushes. 

An hour is not enough indeed. Also it is quite hard to get into the editor for me.

Speedmapping was originally 100 minutes and I always thought that was great. But of course you need to know your editor to do something nice in that time.

I'll try to make something in 100 minutes. Got some ideas in my head. I wonder how working with func_s turns out. :D 

I overestimated myself so now I will make a map in Quark instead. If Windows lets me. 

but i dont check up on this site that regular nor do i hang out on IRC a lot, so if the ever wil be another speedmap session pls drop me a mail (verorbeb@hotmail.com).
Especialy since the well seems to dry up a bit lately and i (still) have an everlasting appetite for maps to run :)
(and map quality is quite often completly indifferent to wether its fun to run or not) 

I'm writing papers and so obviously I'm feeling inspired to procrastinate by mapping. Next Sunday? 

having ran 'speedmapping events' long long ago... I honestly think it's just easier and more open the everyone to just pick a theme on Friday, post it, and have everyone post their map during the week, or maybe just have someone collect them from people to release a pack on the next Friday.

It's more convenient for people's lives to just let everyone be their own judge of time. And as long as people take to heart the '100 minutes... within reason' rule, it's not like we need to sit around together in IRC or anything trying to get stuff together. Hell, why even bother with a '100 minute' rule, just post a theme, and as long as the map is released before the next week's theme is up... it's still a 'speedmap', just a different flavor. 

sorry got off topic...

yeah I would be down to do some speedmapping again. 

yeah I wasn't gonna do the IRC thing. I'd rather not organize, but I can if nobody else wants to. Just let me know. 

...I wonder what a Sock SM would be like... 

I think the speedmap should run either over the course of a weekend (fri-sun/mon) or fri-thurs/fri.
The theme should be the only restriction really. It doesn't have to be every week either, maybe once a month? Also, I wish Quaddicted had pictures to accompany all the speed maps. 

send me screenshots then 

I thought you took the pictures! :D

It would be cool though to see maybe like a split picture showing off various maps. If I get bored enough.. maybe ;) 

that's mostly my fault - sorry Spirit! I started working on that a long time ago but dropped off as real life became a thing (EG going to school full time, working part time, raising a fresh baby when not doing those things).

anyways, I'm probably going to do my speedmap in the next couple of days, because after that I'll be legitimately too busy to do shit besides school work (tis the season).
No pressure on you guys, obviously -- more time would probably result in more contributions, which is better for everyone. 

I always tried to passive aggressively not take them so negke does. He always chooses nicer locations too. the majority should be his work actually :)

Right now there can only be one screenshot per entry which would suck for speedmaps. I cannot be arsed to add some functionality without the need though. no idea how to nicely handle multiple shots per page (javascript is a nono).

Drew, no worries! 

I didn't take screenshots for the speedmapping packs, because 1) too much work (160+ packs), 2) only one shot per page allowed (and merging several into one = even more work), 3) not worth it (I don't consider them proper maps like the other releases, and people who have a genuine interest in them can likely do without screenshots, anyway). 

I actually tried to initiate an impromptu classic speedmapping session yesterday on irc. Bunch of small tribute-themed deathmatch levels which we then were to play on Sleepy's QW server afterwards. Didn't happen, though. Scampie and than are to blame and will have to make up for it by submitting maps for the next pack! ;)
