Hellforge Speedmapping Sessions - Halloween Edition

[NaZa]

TWENTY-THREE (or five?) MAPS?!? 

 

Holy shit. That's quite an accomplishment for a first session, hats off to absolutely everyone, that's incredible! I couldn't make it myself but I really look forward to playing this! 

[Liberation]

Hey folks, just over 4 hours to go before the deadline (8:30 GMT).

@Voltcom we will definitely be doing this again next month.

I think we made it to 27 maps in the end with the overall a quality of map very high given the 2 hour limit.

We should have a compiled set out in the next few days for the general public to peruse.

Copied from the discord

Added multiplayer starts, coop start 1-4, monsters, health and ammo for the mp flag. Name is UFO sighting and midi is badaba by crunchynut44. Theme is one weapond and hellscape. Version c -changed chaingunners to hell knights. Added a semblance of difficulty. Added a couple plasmaguns on mp. https://www.dropbox.com/h?preview=nh_bb_speedmapC.wad

[RonnieJamesDiner]

Here's an updated version of mine, as well. I fixed the one missing texture, and added coop starts (1-4), with some additional multiplayer-only health, ammo, and baddies. As far as single-player it's identical, in all it's hideous glory.

Big thanks to everyone who got involved, see you next time. (iDgames upload will be shortly)

@Liberation absolute legend

Played a little of them yesterday, looks like a pretty mapset!

[Bridgeburner56]

Session 2 is this weekend boys and girls. Same time window

[elend]

This time I'll try to make a make. Gotta use that 24h window, though, since the event is literally in the middle of the night for me. :D

[Walter confetti]

Yay! This time, I'd eventually do something!

[Philnemba]

100% count me in again for this :)

 

Also whatever happened to the Idgames download @Liberation ?

[Jimmy]

Jesus! I might actually show up for this one! If it's 8:30PM GMT, then that's more than doable. Could you announce the precise date/time, @Bridgeburner56?

 

Wow, not being in a weird timezone in between what everyone else in the world is doing works wonders.

[wolfmcbeard]

my body is ready 

[Bridgeburner56]

@Jimmy 8:30pm gmt (so almost exactly 48 hours from now). There's also a countdown timer in the hellforge set up

 

Theme list will be announced tonight (about 12 hours from now). Same deal as last time, I'll roll dice on stream 15 minute before the start to pick which 2 options mappers will have 

[RonnieJamesDiner]

Looking forward to it. Sticking to vanilla resources again this time around?

[obake]

I'll try and make it to this one.

Jimmy (very recently a resident of Australia), says this to Bridge, who lives in New Zealand.

Count me in. I'll be traveling when the session goes live, so I'll take advantage of the 24 hour window, thank you very much.

[NeedHealth]

I'll probably join.

[Bridgeburner56]

We will be adding in a texture pack this time, most likely patch tex as it's not too hard to get your head around and fits in with vanilla textures nicely 

[RonnieJamesDiner]

Is that Gothic's Patched Up Textures pack?

1. I am I right to assume this would be texture pack + vanilla, not texture pack only?
2. Will you confirm the texture pack ahead of time (such as when the themes are announced), so people can take a moment to browse through it and become more familiar with it (always helpful when speedmapping)?

Yes they will both be allowed. 

The pack will be announced when the theme pool is announced (later today). It's highly unlikely to be anything other than patchtex though 

[CBM]

I wont join since I have to finish my map for inception soonish but it seems like good practice

[Liberation]

@Philnemba Sorry, been slacking there. Probably be uploaded today or I will wait, upload it and the new one together.

[Bridgeburner56]

Confirming patchtex and mek's skies as the resource pack

Potential themes that will be randomly chosen from on the day (1 from each list same as last time)

1. Melee weapons only

2. All 6 keys to exit

3. 2 textures / 2 flats - Door track is available as well

4. 10 Sectors

5. Archvile jumps progression or rad suit progression

6. Lighting 255-0

 

1. Techbase

2. Ruins/medieval

3. City

4. Void

5. Hell

6. Natural

Same as before I'll be streaming my map and shouting profanities in the discord VC. I will then play all submitted maps in the first 2 hours on stream after the session ends.

Get ready for frantic mapping!

[RonnieJamesDiner]

Could we get a link to the texture pack? I'm not 100% on what that is.
