TOO BAD if you load it in regular WC, or try to compile it with any Quake supporting QBSP, this alignement isn't retained.
Riot's Qonverge fixes this problem. And the link, ummm, is, err... THE SPEEDMAP WILL TAKE PLACE ON SUNDAY
NOT SATURDAY AS PER USUAL The time 8pm GMT on Sunday, 30th November that corresponds to 9pm UK time, or 4pm EST The place on IRC, in #speedq1 on gamesnet.net The plan Make a map in 100 minutes or less. No theme! Make whatever the hell you want. If you can't make the session, make a map before and email it to me at starbuck@planetquake.com Sorry about the change in plan, but I'm busy on Saturday again. Thanks for that link. I like Hammer/Worlcraft as an editor. The handling of vertices is slightly better than Radiant IMHO.
Uh, if many of the speedmappers already use a lot more than 100 minutes for the job, then how about rising the time limit to, e.g. 200 minutes? You could be more honest with yourself ;). Or would 200 minutes sound like a too large project to take on spontaneously? So 100 minutes is actually just a psychological thing, to make it feel like a small amount of work.
Basically I normally aim to have the layout of the map finished within the timelimit.. and just spend the extra time making it all good.
Btw sm59 won't be til next week since no-one other than me and starbuck turned up.. decided to work on something else instead :-p we won't change the timelimit unless there's problem with it, and everyone seems to be cool with it now anyway.
Yeah, guess we'll have to try sm59 again next week, but it'll be on saturday then i promise :D Timelimit will never be changed, 100 mins is already the 'expanded' timelimit from 1 hour that it used to be.
I've already mentioned my reasons for not enforcing it heavily. Only way people will start staying within it's limits is if the mappers themsealves choose to stay in time. this was. There was some confusion in RPG's 1st map regarding the pentagrams and the zombies that were heard but never showed up (bug?).
Also, imagine my surprise when I in Xen's map managed to grenade jump to what I thought was a secret platform of ammo. When I fell down in the closed pit containing nothing but four fiends in a grope session, well, let's say we weren't formally introduced before getting intimate I actually thought this was an intricate trap until I realized that it was supposed to reveal the fiends at a later stage instead. Best map in the pack! at least last speedmap you noticed my speedmap aguirRe, guess now that I compiled with -tjunc you don't care about me no more :(
too, especially the shambler-fest at the end. A bit tricky if you don't get the stuff in the right order
And yes, I noticed now that it was only Starbuck's map that seemed to have the dreaded tjunction sparkles. Thanks for listening and for hosting the near-weekly speedmap events that definitely contribute to keeping the Q1 community alive! Or at least a bit noisy As someone once said, "Jazz is not dead, it just smells funny im going to run another unthemed sm59 session this saturday at the usual time, see 'General Abuse' for more info.
while you're at it, why not upgrade your compiler/tools to the ones found at http://user.tninet.se/~xir870k ?
don't remember what bsp I use, but I'll try yours. I'll continue with tyrlite, and I still like my rvis+
Well, one of them, can't remember which.. works a treat anyway.
The light one looks interesting, may give it a try, so long as it does everything tyrlite does. About rvis... I remember not liking the progress counter, takes up far too much space on the screen. Is there an option to switch back to the old one? Try the "-numpercent" or "-barpercent" options. See the readme for more details regarding progress feedback control.
