My intention was to get Zwif's attention - tried it this way because he's always so aloof and not easy to approach and I'm too scared to talk to him directly. But rj's got a point, too.
necros: I wish my imagination was more geared towards the bigger picture, interconnected stuff, not single rooms. Though I didn't have a clear idea apart from a few bits, just started placing brushes to see where it goes from there. Redid that water area.

zmm06 - there's that conical (triangular) square brush - not good. A Christmas map pack would be awesome to have, but I'm just gonna work on this map for the time being. If people want to organize their releases around the same time though
Why not? Yeh, metal turtle for 25th dec. Will be a nice christmas present (and gives a reason to map)
does anyone else get images of people being burned on giant metal turtles? Just me?
if anyone wanted to contribute to a christmas map pack with this specific theme, i wouldn't object to it. PS. stop posting anonymously! PPS. xen schmen isn't 3 months & 18 days a little long to be considered a turtle map anyway?
people used to grind out episodes in that kind of timeframe PS. stop posting anonymously!
Glad you said it. I figured I'd just seem my usual grouchy self if I complained about it. PPS. xen's men? people used to grind out episodes in that kind of timeframe
We're old and lazy and have jobs. And SC2 in some cases. We're old and lazy and have jobs. And SC2 in some cases.
well yes. but my point was i just didn't really see the point in dressing up any map with a deadline as a 'turtle map', which is really a term for a speedmap refined over several sessions. surely it's just a 'map'... (not that i'll lose any sleep over it) It'd be really swell if we could make this an actual episode

Remove weapons hack at the beginning of each map?
Altho I don't see that much difficulty in co-ordinating some kind of progression without it. Apart from anything else different people have different skills at Quake and so naturally make harder or easier maps. That seems to lend itself to progression (discussion about more widely seperating the skill levels and not just building for a hardcore constant horde player aside). And I don't really care what you call it tbh, I just like the phrase 'metal turtle'. Do you want e3m7rq?
Inverting the crosses looks wrong unless you modify the texture so the shadows from the rivets are below. For me, I'd add some red metal structures (with corpses attached) for the water area. Mapping is fun. Don't make it an inverted cross to bear. To answer Neros' question: Brushwork, Macro: 6 Brushwork, detail: 2 Brushwork, Terrain: 4 Monster Gameplay: 7 Layout Gameplay: 4 Lighting: 1 Vis Effieciency: 5 That's just off released maps, nothing I'm working on. Inverting the crosses looks wrong unless you modify the texture so the shadows from the rivets are below.
this. also, i find inverting the long cross lights makes them look unbalanced. maybe if you added a second cross so that the texture was vertically symmetrical... I started something and it might be finish in 25 December!
Will Zwiffle and negke try to release in that date or nothing will happened?
