If I recall correctly, killjoy took IKbase and did a bunch of snow variants on it. Maybe someone has those? 

what about making SP maps without any monsters just with traps and puzzles as a theme for future speedmapping sessions? 

I have a hell of a lot of textures floating around. I am fairly sure I have those snowy textures killjoy compiled. I certainly have a few in various wads anyway. There are a few snow textures in Hexen II Portal of Praeveus wad and also one or two in the ogro wad.

About speedchainmaps. Xen, sm32 was not plain sailing as you seem to suggest. Whilst I am not saying it was as difficult as sm36, I had to entirely rebuild Gibbies Quark built section because Quark hadn't put the map on a standard grid (it was crazy floating point madness, which WC didn't like) and also RPGs rocks, which were causing some major compile issues. Both of the rebuilt sections I wanted to keep close to what they were so I spent ages rebuilding to the exact same dimensions etc.

As far as fitting together sections goes, I had to dump a couple because they didn't fit in, and the remaining sections had to be linked together with quite a lot of extra brushes to make it work. In the end, there was plenty of stuff in the map that was never conceived during the original speedmap session. I'm sure this is the same with all speedchainmaps.

can't someone get the sm40 pieces of lun and make a map out of them? It sucks when one of a series is missing (doesn't it, Damaul?) 

Has a date been decided on as a deadline for SM second edition maps? If so, what is it? 

Well, I had said something about Jan. 2nd, as that's right before the Turtlemap starts, but if you and RPG (the only one doing anything, I believe) need more time, speak up becuase it's not like it's a major, formal project. 

My HDD with Quake got a great crash so I probably won't be able to continue map for a while. I hope I'll get my Quake back in few days and finish the extended versions of my maps in time (only adding some changes to light and skill settings left).
But there's also a chance that my Q won't come back in time. 

Well I will make extended versions of my maps also. But I don't think I will be able to finish before later in january. then again does it matter if we all finish at the same time?
Btw I need to make a base map to have all 4 flavours! 

Pulsar/Hrim: alright, cool. I guess it's not important for everyone to finish at once, I had just hoped to make it a big release. Do your maps whenever, I'll put them on the speedmap site (which I'll be getting together for the 2nd/beginning of Turtlemap). I'll be making a section for maps based off speedmaps, so that's where I'll put them. 

I think you've already decided what to do, but just as an FYI, I hope to have the SM SE maps done by Jan 2nd, but maybe not. 

Yeah I see - a big release would be nice!
I'll try to make my work as fast as possible. 

what's happening with the turtle map? is that still on? 

Turtlemap - The Second Coming? 

Restored my quake, finished the map (sm57_pulsar), so it'll be in our mailbox after some more testing.
Not sure I'll make a lot of changes in sm56_pulsar, but anyway the extended version will be created soon. 

 

not sure if speedmapping it's going on this weekend, being the start of the turtlemap event, I'll try to remember for next event tho :D 

this is so as not to distract people from the Turtlemap Scampie is running. Instead, i'll run sm63 the weekend after the Turtlemap ends

The Time
Not this week

The Place
Nowhere 

where is nowhere? 

 

Did you get my map??? 

yes I did, sorry. Didn't look at my email since last Sunday. It'll be included for sure man, I'm gonna get the TM proper annouced tomorrow so everyone knows and get the Speedmap Site together. But first I gots to get back to necros and Madfox who sent me beta maps I really need to look at proper tonight. 

quite the ramble there, sorry :D 

When do you want the SM SE maps submitted? Shall I go ahead and release them on rpg.spawnpoint.org and e-mail you the download address? Or do you want some sort of exclusivity? Gimme the details, duder! 

Email 'em to me and when the Speedmap site goes live on the 3rd, they'll be there. I'm planning to just make a section where we can collect any and all speedmaps that are 'expanded/finished/used as a base' with 2 screenshots and a bit of author info and the original speedmap.

If you want to release it on your site also, go ahead, right now I'm seeing the maps as a nice way to get the speedmap site off the ground, so as long as you at least link to the site, it'll all be good. 

If the maps are mailed to you on the afternoon/evening of January 2, is that enough time for you? 

I'm not 100% the site will be going up on the 3rd, but it will be this weekend.
