Guys, I think you're pushing your "March 1st Release Date" a little here... :-)
If it's any help I have a 1.5 Ghz P4 I can dedicate to the task 24 hours a day. Just send me the tools, the map and a list of instructions (I know NOTHING about mapping except what I've learnt from this thread) and I'll set it off. I just want to see these farking maps this year! :-) it was actually officially pushed for release at qexpo. it's probably the only reason there are so many submissions. :D
I might send you my progress so you can give it a shot if chainer doesn't want to do it anymore... are you still trying chainer? 99% for over a day.. tssshh
this time yesterday it said 3h remaining sure this thing is accurate aguire? :) mine's been stuck at 79.3% for 3 1/2 days. i've all but given up. i really owe ya one, buddy!
Unfortunately AFAIK there is no easy way of accurately estimating a fullvis session, especially if there are "black holes" where it gets stuck for ages.
Overall it's pretty accurate and in any case it gives a hint of what's going on. Before you'd know absolutely nothing at all which at least I found rather frustrating. Necros, I've made some small changes to the nesp10 map and mine has reached 57% in 15 hours with a total estimate of 25. I doubt that will hold though. All your multifaced curves (which look nice) are hell for vis ---- Vis 2.19 ---- Modified by Bengt Jardrup

...the new release date is likely to be?
Tonight? Tomorrow? In sorry to sound as if I'm nagging but I've been sat here, not moving, for 3 months waiting to admire these maps. I want to go to the toilet! (Or "bathroom" as some Americans might ut it). hah.a.
heh. well, i sent my map to uwf yesterday, so it's up to him and his schedual, i'd say. :) /me gapes in disbelief
MLV...2508 /me makes mental note - "Don't go near (960 192 640), and hopes that this is not the location of a key or button yeah i've been wondering about that as well, 'course, i felt a wee bit of trepidation about asking since i was the one who held it up for so long... :P
I didn't even notice that the pack was released. Thank you for your praise UWF.
i submitted it as offical news but it hasnt appeared yet here or at planetquake.
I shall pimp this @ Map-Center too. It's Q1 section is mostly a token gesture, but it's worth pimping the hell out of this pack.
Necros: you scare me; your maps have hardly anything right-angled in them. They're alive. They bite. ahh mine came last, not surprising :P
distrans map was wicked.. looked really original.. realistic. only problem was i kept falling off though! my own fault i guess! the jesus map was kinda weird with the messages that came up.. difficult, but in a good way... had to keep running around to avoid the spawns and try & yse them to blow up the zombies. again looked cool and original necros map i didn't really enjoy.. probably cos of my bad experiences with it :) its good though, had some nice architecture and layout, but i didn't really like the gameplay pushplay.. holy shit this map looks good! i thought the others were cool but this is like twice as good looking. kinda reminded me of one of the space maps in q3 with the platforms, only alot better :) loved the vertical style too.. was fun to play tyranns, i didn't like as much as pushplays.. was kinda cramped, i prefer maps where you can run around dodging enemies.. this was tricky. it was kinda small too? still it looked great, especially since it uses the stock textures.. very nice use of them :) thanks all for helping make this pack what it is.. i very much enjoyed it as a whole :) I mirrored the download for all the FP haters out there.
