Busy the last few weeks, (and was only a sporadic speedmapper in any case) my only quake time going into a project born of a SM.

Was a good run scamps, cheers. Things'll pick up again. 

might be a bit to often, in my case i read the news, have work during the week and slowly let inspiration come until the genie comes out of a bottle, then in the weekend i have to choose between things, and quite often i realise i dont have enough time to do all i want, this weekend it was finaly good weather so no chance :) 

but I found out about it ~2 days after it started, then it took me 2 days to realize I need a .wad file for Trenchboom to access Quake textures. :( I did finally get a .wad file though! :) 

This week I have mostly been populating an e-commerce site with hundreds of different types of car tyres. Needless to say, I haven't felt like mapping. Or gaming. Or going near a computer. But I'll be back on it soon..... 

That reminds me of the beginnings of Quaddicted. Learn to script! 

Yeah, if a task looks boring as fuck, it can usually be scripted. Huge time saver when you get used to doing it because it'll be the first thing you start thinking about when you get a boring task. 

Had time due to starting my new job and then going on holiday. 

Is there a certain way to do this? 

Speedmapping is as informal as it gets.

Just say you'd like to host a session, say what the theme is and provide a date and email for submission. :) 

be interesting to see someone use a theme in a way not intended.

Like say making a tech-looking map using a gothic or metal theme, or a gothic style base map.. :) 

like about half of Negke's product 

Theme: dungeon
due date: 7/5/13

e-mail me at the_happy_friar_planet@yahoo.com
subject: speed mapping 

man, i started doing a map and then realize just how rusty i am with trenchbroom. :( 

Will be very busy this next week with work, and moving, and preparing for a teaching assignment... So what I'm saying is I'm probably in.


But no promises. 

I tend to interpret themes as wide as i feel like, and i realy liked (i think) negke's interpretation of "spaceship" (no clue wich speedmap session it was) 

to post a date mm-dd-yy, i was liek wtf that deadlien is a month ago:) 

It's like inches, rather than metric - they're just quirky that way.

Am I right? 

cm is kinda quirky. ;)

I do write my dates a lot as yy-mm-dd because years ago I worked for a guy from Poland and he said he did it that way so when you view files in DOS or Win95 it's always in date order.

Only 4 days left and I'm still learning trenchboom! 

I was hoping for a new speedmap session.

You'll get from me at least one map for this session, the one i did for sm173 survival horror, and probably one more dungeon themed.

I do prefer the date for this to be on mondays, as i can submit it even if i have problems with internet on my computer, but it won't hurt to have one on a sunday. 

but I should probably bite the bullet and just make this one into a proper map - or at least a turtlemap. 

doubt it will actually happen though! 

You would rather have the submission date be a Monday or the announcement date a Monday? 

yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss

anything else just doesn't make sense :P 

thats right...
and should avoid future confusion. 

BUT WHAT TIMEZONE! :D

And is that 24 hour clock or 12 hour clock????
:D
