Func_Msgboard: Speedmapping Thread!

Posted by - on 2003/12/06 18:37:36

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.

proposal for a future speedmap (once sewerjam is over):
No Curves Allowed. Make the most beautiful level you can, but no curved geo.

#4254 posted by Mclogenog on 2019/08/21 13:44:13

alternatively, call it "Curve Intervention" because between JamX and Sewerjam and things like sm200c, this has been The Year of The Curved Geo

Not To Spoil The Fun ...

but that would be 95% of the speedmaps till now, save if there has been that trend in the last ones, as i have not played them till now.

More interesting would be no corner maps, so no angles should be less than 91º or just no corners to simplify things. Easy and fast to do if creating some modules or prefabs at the beginning and combine them.

#4256 posted by Mclogenog on 2019/08/21 13:58:13

That's fair. Maybe "pentagon" or "triangle" as a theme would be a more interesting challenge?

"no floors" - people rely on floors too much IMO.

All The Time On Trigger_push And Teleport?

#4258 posted by Cocerello on 2019/08/21 23:00:56

Sounds like a joke but could be interesting. There would be some other options too, like liquids, for example.

Lol @Metl.

I expect to see a map from your good self :p

Have Several

#4266 posted by Cocerello on 2019/09/21 10:59:21

At some point i decided to clean and make look decent some of the rags from 199x and finished a bunch. They are all speedmap-like, not eyecandy focused, and half of them for Deathmatch.

I think i have the originals for some.

Screenshots

#4267 posted by Cocerello on 2019/09/21 11:08:32

Before After
Second
Third
The ''before'' one is not exactly the original but not too far from it.

I have to search further into the hard drive and find the rest.

It's definitely a good excuse to unearth some stuff that's been hanging around the HD too long.

Two Days Left

#4269 posted by ionous on 2019/09/27 13:15:53

Two days left until the deadline.

Will

#4270 posted by Cocerello on 2019/09/28 18:26:28

probably be mapping till the last minute.

So you'll see my email a bit late.

No Worries

#4271 posted by ionous on 2019/09/28 23:06:14

I probably won't even have time to start packing up things until late, late Sunday, so take your time.

Understood

#4272 posted by Cocerello on 2019/09/28 23:48:54

going to sleep then

Extension

#4273 posted by ionous on 2019/09/29 02:05:14

So I won't be able to work on packaging this for another 32 hours due to RL commitments. I'm extending the deadline 24 hours.

#4274 posted by Cocerello on 2019/09/30 03:43:40

sent you the maps on an email. I went overboard again and i backfired on me so instead of submitting all the scraps i have from 199x, i am only releasing my first three deathmatch maps with a remade version for each.

Update On Sm202

#4275 posted by ionous on 2019/10/01 13:02:18

RL is rather weighting on me heavily right now, so I can't really get it out the door today. I'm aiming for Wednesday night.

Anything Fine

#4277 posted by Cocerello on 2019/10/26 12:03:03

including unlimited entity brushes like in the last 100 brushes pack? I think we are better if at most putting a limit of another 99 entity brushes or there would be no point to the 99 world brushes limit.
