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.

all the parts will be included with the released .bsp. I don't fancy racing with people to put together this map. 
Vondur Is Now At 
Hmm, When I Wrote 
that the links worked, now they don't ... 
Scampie 
do I have be on IRC for this event? I don't have any IRC client installed ATM. 
PuLSaR 
DO NOT INSTALL IRC. YOU WILL LOSE ALL HOPE.

And no you don't have to be on IRC. scampie accepts map submissions via e-mail. 
Yeah 
just make something beforehand, email it to me, and I'll try and stick it into the map.

which is something I forgot to mention. I'll try to use all map sections I get, but like in the past, it's not always possible to use everyone's work. you still get credit in the readme though! 
 
do we leave our map open so you can connect at those parts or do you just demolish parts of the map and then connect wherever you see fit? 
 
don't think of it like making a map. you're just building some interconnected rooms. I hope to not need to do much demolishing, just some fixes and pieces to join things together nicely. so basically, yes, leave things open. 
Would It Be Ok 
if i just made a bunch of non connected room? just seperate areas... would you want that in the same .map file, or seperate .maps? 
Hmm 
I might be ineterested in participating... What textures sets are planned to be used for the next one? 
Jago 
See #513!! 
Necros 
i guess so, but it may make it more difficult to mix them in. seperate .maps would be best if you go this route.

Jago: yeah! learn to read! rubicon! this is the .wad that must be used.

Hey Scampie 
This sounds cool. What texture set are you using? 
New Rule 
anyone 1 post before this and after asking what texture set we're using will be banned! 
Hmmmm... 
Seems speedmapping is pretty buzzing at the moment...

What's this week's theme again?? 
Shambler: 
BANNED! 
Scampie: 
* FUNC_MSG_B0RKED * 
Scampie 
Theres a terrible lack of crate textures in sm82.wad. What am I supposed to do- create original room designs without filling up space with crates? Preposterous! 
Use Idbase Crates 
becuase the rubicon crates sucked :P

So does the rest of the set, actually (except maybe the slime texture,) but i don't think i can talk scampie out of using it on those grounds. 
Hehe 
yeah i meant idbase crates, of course :)

ive always liked the set, but i wish it had more to offer. most of them are hard to modify because of odd riveting. and by 'modify' i mean 'copy/paste into new dimensions'. it sorta lends itself to being blocky (hi vondur). 
 
map with the textures! not against them!

and let me just officially annouce that idbase crates are kosher for this event. 
Hey, Scampie 
The Rubicon crates aren't very good. What crates should I use for SM82? 
Crap 
i won't be able to do speedmap on saturday, and i'm too busy from now until sunday to do it either... since this is a chainmap, is it ok if i send my pieces to you after saturday/sunday? 
Necros: 
yes, but asap after satuday sunday please. want to start getting things together sunday. 
RPG 
you're thinking of a a little known level from 1997 called "the fly" by markus klar.
