It's kinda past the beginning stage now. It's a neverending end which dies & wakes up occasionally. 

Kinda like a recurring nightmare.

Should really lay off the trigger happy submitting

"Is QBoard Dying?" 

sounds like a good Quake episode -- The Death of Quake! 

nonentity: hey! that was my thread, which effectivly killed Qboard :D 

You have an exaggerated sense of your own importance...

(whether you were joking there or not ; ) 

there will be no speedmap this weekend, I have family coming over and can't run one. 

the center of my weekend has collapsed. scampie and his stupid "family" :( 

That's a weird coincidence. I have family going up to Maine for a week. Oh, shit.

your last name isn't Moors. Paternal relation, so little possiblilaty there. 

scampie, I'm well aware of whose thread it was :) 

 

good plan, we'll drag him back from wherever he is so he and Zwiffle can speedmap and no one else will show up. 

When we get a decent theme. I have no interest in recreating Headshot-themed maps whatsoever, there's plenty of them as it is. 

then don't map in theme. I'd rather not have themes for this very reason but everyone demanded them. 

Art deco Quake. 1930's Great Depression goodness. Could even change the Q symbol to look like Radio City Music Hall style.

Oh shit I'm a day late. Oh well take it seriously then. 

I quit working saturdays so will try & knock something up more often. Worldcraft's been getting dusty

Who did you have in mind? 

 

I just got an e-mail from Jenna Jameson. I must be some kind of stud or something. Hey, why isnt this mouse working? 

Okay p1mps here they are:

1. 1+1 Brush map

Okay this is supposed to be a 1 brush map, but apparently you need 1 brush for the exit trigger too?? I have no idea, that's what the mapper people said. So yeah you have one exit trigger brush, and then the map made out of 1 brush. Obviously a phat custom texture will be important. Preferably a properly playable map too.
Note: If this is completely unfeasible, blame metslaime and czg for not telling me in #tf.

2. Mini proper maps

Okay this is a bit more serious and potentially a whole lot cooler. Some maps have been trending this way anyway. Basically, a smaller, simpler, scaled down version of a full map. Not necessarily in architectural size, but in the feel. The idea is the map should feature the main concepts of a full map, but only to the extent that you can cram into 120 minutes or so.

E.g. You'd want, say, a start area, an outside bit, a secret or two, a bit of non-linearity, and a proper end battle. As I say some maps have been notably trending this way, but I think it could go further. 

Wait, wasn't i the one that suggested this? As i recall, everyone else said it was a horrible idea. Like I said in irc, I'd rather do a true 1 brush map and have it be a DMSP map -- those don't need exit triggers. 

look at how those quarter sides of the storage pumps in CZGToxin form a concave surface. WTF?!? You are not suppose to be able to do that in a vanilla Quake engine but he pulled it off -- jeez.
