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.

will upload demos later, but as I said in demo, not for me. I am a mediocre player and an absolutely terrible speedrunner trickjumper etc, so not my jam. but thanks for contributing anyway! 
Thx For Feeedback 
If mandel even says its hard (he's a better player then me imo)i geuss i have to make it a bit easier even. Its kind of hard to feel how hard these thigns are to other people becasue of a coupel things:
-I playtest the map a lot while mapping so by the time its finished i already know the standard moves pretty well.
- a small difference in skill can make somethign impossible to one, compeltly boring to someone else.
-physics challenges might be different on other clients and maybe even still slightly depending on hardware
But I'm no tgiving up yet to make a map like this wich can be both and fun and challenging for the whole family:)


Mandel im going to pretend i never read that question, I was one of those few in the quake peleton who never doped* and to start cheating when the scene is near dead would be strange.

The big Epo era kinda is the same as the highdays of quake1 speedrunning, and i think quite some people visited suspicious doctors:) 
 
I tried to run it but I had to use savegames to get a complete demo. Guess one reason may be I didn't even have a bind for that weapon before your map forced me to make one... 
Question 
I couldn't upload my map for SM170, due to the loose of Internet connection for days. It is OK if i submit it for a subsequent Speedmap Pack?

I'll go now to try those three maps. I'm interested into seeing how much they differ from mine. 
Sure

After watching your demo of your map i couldn't believe what i was seeing. You are a GOD of Quake.

I was recording a DEMO when playing it, but passed on that after the 10th minute of attempts. The map is great and i like challenge, but for me it will probably take me hours to complete. Good thing there is a teleport at the bottom, if it were a instant death fall that would piss many players.

Getting to the third ''island'' were easy, but getting to the fourth took me at least 5 minutes. I almost don't know a thing about jumping tricks: i can't use bunny-jumping and i'm bad at rocket/grenade jumping; so i had to find the tricks intuitively. I suppose someone expert at jumping tricks could finish this in less than 10 minutes. 
No Screenshots ? 
maybe it's me that didn't find them :# 
 
only negke sent me a map this week (I didn't get around to one myself)... and it was technically for last week's theme!!!

so... I guess sm171 is now "Bricks", due Mon Jun 3rd. Any 'big' maps submitted late will be included then too. 
Scampie 
there was an sm announcement?
Must have missed that... 
 
 
ah well... 
The Theme Is Bricks?? 
Wtf...? 
 
"Bricks" is a good theme ))))) 
Agree 
Scampie is a good theme creator. 
 
I want to make sure I hit a wide variety of themes. Sometimes they are gameplay themes, sometimes they are style themes... this is a texture theme. 
 
I'll see what happens.

I have something started for BIG but it's pretty gross right now - no lighting etc.

I will work on it a bit and see what happens!
GF/kid out of town for the week, but I'm working A LOT.

MRS CAMPIE? 
Yeah. Talking to you in IRC is THAT boring. 
 
 
Scampie, could you please continue the good old tradition of adding readme files to the packs? Those include things like the theme. Check any old pack for a template where you can just edit a few lines. 
Readme 
sorry Spirit here you go:
