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.

A Brush Is A Brush 
It's 99 brushes, period. This includes entity brushes, like doors. Adding Copper is already a nicety, because it bypasses the need to build monster closets ...now those brushes can be used for worldspawn and trigger brushes!

I think folks can make awesome maps, despite the established constraint. CZG's Biotoxin has only about 99 brushes and it looks good and is a lot of fun! Plus, everybody else from that second 100 brush contest didn't have Copper to use. 
Understood 
Just saying, but Biotoxin has only 99 brushes because it relies heavily on hacking, reason 4th 100 brushes pack freed entity brushes from the count so it would not be a hacking competition but created the aforementioned problem.

Have one half done already for 99 total brushes. Now for the finishing touches. 
Well, So Far... 
Well, so far from the maps that I have received, I haven't seen any hacking ...and being a relatively new mapper, I haven't gotten clever enough to hack anything myself.

However, I do appreciate what you are saying, Cocerello. If I run another event similar to this one, I will definitely take that into consideration. Look forward to seeing your entry!

SM204: 20 Years Of Quake III Arena 
Celebrate this classic game's anniversary by creating a vanilla single player map using Quake 3 textures and its gothic / tech ambiance. Feel free to remix a Quake 3 level or create an entirely new vision. Please add deathmatch and coop spawns too!

DEADLINE Sunday November 24th 11:59pm CET (func_time)
Countdown clock

PROGS id1

TEXTURES Quake 3 Arena textures and similar wads with the gothic tech aesthetic. Here's a Quake 3 wad to get you started.

SUBMISSIONS Email me your map or message me on the Quake Mapping Discord here.

INSPIRATION Take a look at Quaddicted for some maps in this style.

Post your questions here or at the speedmapping channel on Quake Mapping.

Good luck and have fun. 
Just To Clarify Above 
These would be Quake 1 SP maps using Quake 3 textures. Sorry for any confusion. 
Bonus Points For Anyone Making Quake 3 Levels Using Quake 1 Textures.. 
 
BTW Tho. 
I did actually have a vaguely inspiring sketch for a Q3A textured map a while ago... ...but this SM session clashes with the #no-map-november event taking place on Discord, where we take a breather from the relentless production line of mapping, chill for a month, catch up recently releases etc. justsayin'.... 
This Is A Really Good Idea For A Sm 
 
Drew 
Will you be mapping for this or only playing?

Nice Neat Arch. 
 
Probably Neither Honestly! 
...Actually I keep up with speedmaps better then full releases since I’m fond of the format and they’re quick. 
Due To Wrath's EA Release 
We've decided on a 24 hour extension for SM204. New Countdown clock here: https://www.tickcounter.com/countdown/1598978/sm204-extension 
Sent Mine To Your E-mail 
dumptruck_ds, but as i haven't played Quake 3 since 2000, i based it on Sauerbraten, with the textures from Quake 3 of course.

It has DM, coop and SP. 
Sent Again 
There was a bug which prevented the player from finishing the map. Even if it is an speedmap is better to have it fixed. 
Thanks Coce 
Update: this pack won't be really until Weds at the earliest. All kinds of stuff going on in RL this week. But it looks like we have seven maps total. 
SM205: The Randomizer Special! 
SM205: The Randomizer Special!

Mapper's block may seem like a joke at first, but it's a real problem! Coming up with ideas is hard sometimes, so that's why I built the ZungrySoft Entertainment Quake Map Idea Generator!

Here's how it works: Go to the link below and run the script by pressing the play button in the top left. You will be given 3-4 requirements that your map must follow. (Make sure to save the result somewhere or take a screenshot.) You may only run the script once, so you have to deal with what you get!

You have about 2 days. Good Luck!

SM206: Prototypes 
We have some newcomers to the scene, so let's give them an opportunity to map!

Complete a map that only uses textures from Khreathor's Prototype 1_2 wad http://khreathor.xyz/site/prototype/

id1 progs, no custom music.

Send me the results at AndrewYoder@live.com by Monday 00:01 Central European Time.

Don't crunch on this. The prototype wad should help you all focus on gameplay without worrying so much about visuals (which always take the most time). Just find a few hours over the next couple days to make a map for fun :) 
SM207: Ceremonial Speedmaps 
The undeniable classic. The golden standard of wizard maps. The meat and potatoes of Q1SP. czg's unforgettable Ceremonial Circles is the theme for this speedmap session.
Keep it simple. Green wizard theming, re-use of space and a lot (maybe too many) ogres on perches.

SM208: Caves, Canyons & Crevices 
Deep underground with cracks of light from above. What dwells below the surface? A hidden temple, lava-tubes, forbidden tomb, unspeakable caverns and/or a subterranean lake. Descend into darkness with organic shapes of stone and the unknown!

SM209: GIMME YO TRAPS JAM! 
Have you always longed to piss off the player in a really creative way, this is your chance. Pull the floor beneath their feet, make the room shrink, have the lava rise.

The gist of this JAM is all about traps and game-play revolving around ambushes and nifty placed enemies to surprise the player. Think you can do it?

Play with their expectations in a spectacular way.

Since Arcane Dimensions has lots of stuff that can be used in such way it will be required for this run.

START: Friday May 15 00:00 UTC
DEADLINE: Thursday May 28 00:00 UTC
COUNTDOWN: https://time.is/UTC

PROGS: Arcane Dimensions 1.71
