Thanks a lot, Kell! Next thing I'm gonna ask u is how to properly align textures, mine always fall outta place! Yours has been one of the best episodes ever.... Thanks also for that....

depends on the editor
but usually you have to open texture manager(inspector) and there will be all alignment properties
in some editors handy keys are binded for texture shifting

don't ask such a dumb questions here.
all the editor basics are in the editor help or tutorial sites.
we're here to help you align crates on the map but not align texes on a crate.

Speedmapping recharges mapping energy! Irc is all that wastes it! The more you map the more mapper energy you have!
Ohum...

Wc3.3 allows you to rotate any texture, anyway. You could have a stack of 20 crates, all rotated on all the axis', and automatically they would all have proper texture alignment. TOO BAD if you load it in regular WC, or try to compile it with any Quake supporting QBSP, this alignement isn't retained. Plus my example probably wouldn't compile well anyway :
Mmmmmm...

The Silent, A Few Approaches To Take
#65 posted by HeadThump on 2003/11/27 15:42:26
If you use the Radiant series to edit (personaly, I use Bmp2Map for all of my mapping solutions ;-) the texture editing function is listed as Surface Inspector in the Texture pull down menu, from there, play with the buttons, and you should do fine. Or, alternatively, you can align the brushes along the spatial dimensions of your textures, an artful approach perhaps, but limiting.
What? Bmp2map?

ROFL!

i wonder if it's possible to make something worthy there ;)

Well

It's probably possible to stack about 10 of those maps together along the z-plane for that fresh Mayan look ;

"...some maps are raved about for apealing to the reviewers taste, and others are not raved about even though their strong points are not to the reviewers taste. So, though there is no ranking system, Shambler is not immune to Human Nature. "
I understand your points but cannot comprehend out how you managed to derive them all from Shambler's reviews since they're pretty much nothing like you describe them. If it weren't for you posting the quotes I'd think you were reading the wrong site. Even with the selective quoting you provided, your rants just don't fit in context. Gameplay is mentioned in all reviews, and highlighted if it's significantly harder/easier than that of the initial ID maps, so players know what to expect. It's even worded that way in most cases (eg. "some may find this level rather hard in places") - not opinionated in the slightest and definitely not a rate-down. Besides, balancing gameplay is an important aspect of level design and if the mapper is too lazy to add sufficient supplies and balance out the gameplay then it deserves a mention. There have been cases where maps have been critised for being too easy though, it seems you're only looking at one half of the picture. And even then, it doesn't matter what bad was said about the maps... if it made the site, it was a good map, and recommended by the reviewer. All happy.
And the point of this discussion thread was, a long, long, long time ago, to comment on the maps in speedmap pack 58, which is why your sudden outburst about a two year old review site seemed kinda pointless to me. It might also be worth mentioning you're the only person I've ever seen complain about the issue here, which added to the, erm.. general whatthehellisthisguygoingonabout-ness.
Can we get back to posting movie quotes already?
H'apologies

Is this the longest news-thread ever since the Insanity Pit?

Must mean speedmapping is pretty popular or interesting, or both.
