You're not seriously including my map in this are you? There isn't and exit, the collision on the terrain doesn't work properly... I mean it looks ok but it's broken! 

I can take it out if you prefer, but speedmaps aren't supposed to be finished.

Do you want me to remove it? 

You better not wait for my entry, was a bit optimistic....
Sorry. 

Next time then. 

Goin release it standalone around next week or maybe earlier? 

Turtle it instead. It'd be nice to add some detail to mine and even the Rubicon enemies... but maybe I'll save that for a later project.

So, the pack is ready unless anyone else is finishing one - ?

Fifth Elephant - ? 

if you'll turtle it leave it out.
but if you are sick of it, just leave it in! 

I'll make one! Give me till 6:10pm GMT.

Fifth - don't be daft, that's what speedmapping is all about! :)

Or just put an exit in and re-submit. 

I may come back to it, but I have a bunch of other maps that will be taking precedence. It was a fun little experiment (and it taught me that I can map quite quickly if I set my mind to it, even if I did create about a million holes and two dozen misshapen brushes in the process) 

a chain map btw... 1 week for the build, a unified theme and then get the whole thing stitched together somehow. 

I think if we're giving a week to make the chain sections we'd have to set some more limits or define what would be involved.
Eg focus on smaller areas with more detail? or larger areas with established gameplay scenarios...

Than, Xen, who else did gluing? -- any input on that aspect?

I'd be interested, obviously, but probably not in the job of gluing...


I also like the idea of releasing the chain colmponents and having a number of people taking a crack at gluing, and seeing the ways in which they differ. 

Vigil has been trying to get people to make Rubicon 2 themed sections for a chain map for months now. 

Solution to fitting the single maps together could be XYsize restriction
and defining portals for the other maps to to take over. Like doorsize , thicknessand and position XYZ. 

really?
Didn't know that.
Did he post here about that? 

in these kinds of speed map things then some crazy person could stick them all together... not saying I'd do it but I'm always a big fan of people including their .map files (I always do). 

I think I'll be doing something in Rubicon2, but a bit bigger than speed/turtle mapping.

Not longer than a month total though. 

Putting monsters in..... 

who cares about broken stuff in speedmaps? he/she should play some older packs then...

I liked the 100 minutes rule. 

I'm just gonna give it a quick run-though.... 

Now the waiting.....
