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! 

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. 

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. 

The Rubicon crates aren't very good. What crates should I use for SM82? 

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? 

yes, but asap after satuday sunday please. want to start getting things together sunday. 

you're thinking of a a little known level from 1997 called "the fly" by markus klar. 

i probably won't get the chance to work on the map parts until i get home on monday... so you may as well get started without me...

how long do you forsee working on the chainmap? it'll help me figure out how long i have to work on it... 

I have sections from RPG, NotoriousRay, Zwiffle, and myself. I guess necros is going to add something monday. We got a good amount of source material here, I expect about a month for me to get everything together, cleaned up, and tweaked nicely. 

I wasn't able to map these few days and will be busy tomorrow. I'll send my section tomorrow evening. ok? 

Did you get any of my recent emails? 

yes, I have just recieved them and replied you. I was offline for a while and will be also offline for a day of so. 

AND What theme is it?? 

pulsar: sure, i'm already waiting for necros' 

OMG OMG THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Your section you got to me is going to be perfect for bringing things together! 

Your section you got to me is going to be perfect for bringing things together!

That's what I originally supposed. If you make everything yourself, you may use those places with buttons like corridors to other sections and move buttons to other places to make something non-linear.

Glad that you liked it:) 

I know the button nearest the platform is going to be removed and replaced with Zwiffle's section. I think the bridge will extend to RPG's, and somehow I'll make NotRay's lead into yours I guess. 

the bridge door would be good as gold key door IMHO. 

Guys, what are the plans for the 100th pack?
It's soon, I reckon. 

has there been an 'oldschool' theme yet? you know, maybe some dapak-style, or old school metal with gaudy giant quake symbols and/or pentagrams, etc.. but with oldschool flair? just an idea. 

sorry! i didn't get back till today, and although i had my computer, i didn't have much time to map. i'll get to work on it now, and i'll see what i can come up with. 

 

i never annouced there'd be an sm83, but if anyone wants to should up tomorrow and do some unthemed speedmapping, please do. standard 4pm EST, 100 mins or more timelimit irc.gamesurge.net #speedq1 or email maps to scampie@spawnpoint.org.


sm82's status: haven't physically put anything together yet, but have a pretty good idea how to get things together. necros, sorry buddy but I don't think I can really use the small area you made :( I'll release the .map with the rest and mention you in the credits for sure though. Don't feel bad, becuase I'm throwing out the area I did during the event as well. 

it wasn't a really great piece anyway. i still am looking forward to seeing sm82! :)
