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.

When Will There Be A Next Speedmapping Sesion? 
 
Sorry ROQ 
Map Jamming has suddenly, but also completely, destroyed the speedmapping tradition which flourished for so many years in this community.
Any 'speedmaps' that might be made will inevitably be so only in name.

That being said I suggest the next speedmap theme be "Honey jam runoff". 
 
I doubt speedmapping has been killed off by the mapping jam. If anything speedmapping is probably going to be speedier, like it used to be. 
(joking) 
 
SM176 
"Finish OTP's shitty jam half-entry" 
Nah 
If we did that we wouldn't be able to take this piss. 
So 
When are you going to finish? 
Sm 176 Announcement 
As the jam has stopped flowing, I thought I'd suggest a good old fashioned speed map event.

The theme is 'quantity over quality' as in a previous session, but as per usual is totally optional.

Send your maps to my email by Aug. 28th. 
... WHO'S WITH ME!?

I'm will start my sm_176 map tommorow. 
So ... 
No theme this time?

Well, i have the map i did for sm170 around somewhere, maybe i could submit it for this session.

I won't tell you for sure if i submit it. After submitting the last two without betatesters and unfnished, i won't submit this one if i am not sure it doesn't have any major issues.

By the way, Drew, as you probably know, in this events, at least half of the people that submit something at the end, haven't said a thing in the thread (i don't know about Terrafusion). 
I Am With You Always... 
...even if I don't submit shit anymore :(

You go, Drew!!! 
Thanks Generic 
Thats nice Generic, but what I really want is for you to submit to me.

Coco, there is an optional theme - quantity over quality.

Doomer, good to know, hope you have fun with
It! 
Quantity Over Quality 
It's one of the rules for speedmapping events, but if i think about it, that is also probably the rule we break the most in speedmapping, so i can see why you put it out and say that it is optional, apart from the fact that the theme on speedmaps by tradition was always optional, we just got accustomed to follow it.

Looking at it from a different perspective it can lead to an hordish combat map or a big with almost no detail map, and make that the theme. Hmmm ... maybe i'll do another one, now that i have a theme the ideas pop in my head way faster.

And lastly, ..., i am sorry for you, but i am not the Coco, i ain't going to eat you no matter how much you call me like that :) 
For More Inspiration 
Look at the original quantity over quality SM pack. Xen did a really nice one for that. 
Go Map! 
 
Perfect Theme For Me! 
 
I'm Glad You Think So! 
Hope you find some time to whip something big and shitty up!

Crappy non-permanent link that OTP and others will hate, because I am lazy and also, like, whatever. It's 4 am.

I'll try to find time to make another one for the 28th, but we'll see! 
Errrr 
You said

Send your maps to my email by Aug. 28th.

so i thought you did to avoid granularity in the release and show all together to the community. 
Whoops 
Send your maps to my email by Aug. 28th but feel free to post pictures of your maps - like I did above - whenever you like.

Sorry for the lack of clarity there. It's just a screenshot. 
Ops 
No need for clarity this time, it was me that jumped to conclusions too fast and thought it was the map, as screenshots are uncommon in this thread.

Looks good, depending of the layout and the side from which the player enters, those dogs will need a trigger_monterump. From just that sceeenshot i think it strays a bit from the theme, not that mine is better in that regard.

By the way, i played sm67_xen. It is good, and probably the one that matches the theme in sm67 the most. The idea of using setpieces and modules to make a speedmap isn't new for me, but it is always a good reminder as a different type of way to achieve quality. 
 
@Drew, you can use http://i.imgur.com/ for screenshots instead Dropbox.

Screenshot of the my sm176 map. I'm completed base layout yesterday and started make light today. On this moment map isn't contains any monsters on map.
