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.

I choose to take that comment literally

Speedmap

#35 posted by Blitz on 2003/12/10 21:35:15

In a vain attempt to keep myself busy, I started to work on a speedmap, BUT I had some issues. It compiled ok, but I got 'AllocBloc Full' when I tried to run it =/

Sounds like some kind of memory thing, but I have 384MB of RAM. If anyone knows lemme know. Large thanks and praise to you all.

no, it means 1 of 2 things.

1) Due to a stroke of bad brushwork, you've created an infinite plane that glquake can't display without crashing you. You should be able to go into winquake and noclip around and maybe see which brush's face is doing it, and remake it.

2) You have one very large face on a brush, which may be split up by qbsp, but still fucks up glquake. Try slicing it down into smaller brushes.

3) You have massive amounts of tiny faces, I think (for whatever reason - they were there to start with, or split horribly by qbsp).

OK thanks scamp...I think I know what brush it is...heh. I thought it was ok but in retrospect maybe not.

should be a sticky thread.

alas, but I'm no moderator! woe be unto me!

(but woe unto all of you, if I were.)

Yeah

it was discussed, but it was decided that, seeing as the thread would be bumped every week anyway, it wasn't really worth doing. The only way this thread could disappear of the bottom would be if we stopped running speedmapping events, and if that happened, there'd be no point having a thread anyway.

Gah

that post was quite incoherent

The Speedmap Thingie...

#42 posted by Zwiffle on 2003/12/11 23:40:40

Umm are the people who enter supposed to meet on mIRC sometime or something? I noticed it said saturday 4pm... or is that just when it starts and we're supposed to turn in the maps 110 minutes after then? Sorry if this is stupid I've never entered a speedmap before i'd like to try.

Oh Jeez...

#43 posted by - on 2003/12/12 07:01:07

yes! I forget to mention it all the time.

yeah, at 4 pm est, we meet on irc.gamesnet.net in #speedq1.

But...

#44 posted by - on 2003/12/12 07:01:53

I also accept maps done before all that and just emailed to me.

I started to remake my sm57 map yesterday, cuz I finally restored my quake. So I think it will be ready in few days.
Has anyone other submited you remaked maps? And will the mega pack be released ever?

#46 posted by - on 2003/12/13 20:24:16

No one has yet, RPG and Xen seem to be the only others getting some done, and they're doing full episodes of remakes. I think we're shooting for a Jan 2nd release.

#47 posted by metlslime on 2003/12/13 21:53:31

weren't you going to pick Teh Best Maps from each session and have those mappers remake their maps? If so, don't forget to tell the people which maps you picked. Also, is the rebuildings supposed to make the maps longer, or just clean up what's there?

#48 posted by - on 2003/12/14 00:22:08

that idea was pretty much shot down. we decided to just have everyone expand/rework any of their megatheme maps they chose to and we'd just release them all at once.

Fao Starbuck

Can you email that 'spedbase' map back to me? rjthorne at blueyonder.co.uk

Ah well, I'll send the original again sometime if you ever need anything to waste time on.

So Starbuck...

#52 posted by - on 2003/12/18 06:53:11

You good to go for running the event this weekend?

I Think So

#53 posted by starbuck on 2003/12/18 09:57:13

i won't be able to map, but there shouldn't be any problem running an event (hopefully)

i guess i should write an announcement :)

Alright

#54 posted by - on 2003/12/18 10:22:54

I'll be there Saturday to map anyway so I could run it if need be.

and yeah, annouce it dude :D Zwiffle's already pre-submitted a map, but he didn't know any theme.

And don't forget about my map one more time.
It's getting older and older ;)
