Obsidian Posted May 11, 2014 (Links to the first, second, third, foruth and fifth sessions.) Aright, let's get things going again! The next Abyssal Speedmapping Session is scheduled for the 25th of May, 10am NZ time. I'm compiling the last session as well, don't worry. :P If you don't have Skype and still wanna join in I'll post the necessary details here for you, so feel free to give it a whirl. On a slightly different note, I'm thinking of limiting the Skype call a bit to minimize Skype weirdness: what's a good max number of people on the call? The last few have had about 11 people and the distortion is a pain in the arse. 0 Share this post Link to post
Alfonzo Posted May 11, 2014 Having hosted/participated in a number of skype conferences from varying locations and connections, 8 seems to be the tipping point or thereabouts, although I'm told that Skype used to be able to support a practically limitless number of folks without any beds being shat at all! Perhaps there could be two calls hosted or something? Anyway, uh... I guess I'd better declare myself ready for this one. Ready to take twice as long as necessary, that is. 0 Share this post Link to post
Jimmy Posted May 11, 2014 I hopefully won't be too busy that weekend so sign me the fuck up. :D 0 Share this post Link to post

Anyway, uh... I guess I'd better declare myself ready for this one. Ready to take twice as long as necessary, that is. Oh no you don't! I'm gonna get you to take only 2 hours even if it kills me! GRRRR! :P 0 Share this post Link to post
Obsidian Posted May 23, 2014 24 hours until the call, ladies and gentlemen! :) 0 Share this post Link to post
scifista42 Posted May 23, 2014 I'm quite pissed that the daylight saving time (2 months ago) shifted the session two hours deeper into night, for me. Nevermind. I realize I can probably make the speedmap next day. But it doesn't matter, I cannot speedmap anyway. I'm gonna confess you, I've been mapping with you (or the next day) in the past two sessions, but didn't succeed and therefore didn't post anything. It might go similarly this weekend too. :p 0 Share this post Link to post

scifista42 Posted May 23, 2014 The sad truth is, sometimes I cannot finish a medium-sized, low-detailed vanilla map within 2 months. :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Phobus Posted May 23, 2014 Ooo... I'm out tomorrow evening and realistically will be back near midnight half drunk. I might need to miss this session :\ Although if you post the themes, I'll give it a go the next day and submit, seeing as compilation tends to take a few weeks, I can't see myself missing out entirely! Edit: Actually, I might well just be 40-odd minutes late. This could still happen tonight! 0 Share this post Link to post
jmickle66666666 Posted May 24, 2014 damn son i am gonna speed map the hell out of this 0 Share this post Link to post
MTrop Posted May 24, 2014 I should be free for this. Count me in! EDIT: Also, Tarnsman is a halfway point between NZ and me, and has bandwidth to spare. Or I could host the call. My connection's pretty good. 0 Share this post Link to post
Doomkid Posted May 24, 2014 I want to make it, but I'll probably be a total retard and fall asleep an hour or so beforehand.. Consider me lightly penciled in! 0 Share this post Link to post

scifista42 Posted May 24, 2014 You mean like, 1-monster map? Or 1 of the new, and any from the rest of normal Doom monsters? EDIT: I will assume the latter. 0 Share this post Link to post
scifista42 Posted May 25, 2014 This map actually took me 4 hours, and it's crap anyway. I cannot map effectively. Will it be accepted, then? I wouldn't mind if it was not. http://filesmelt.com/dl/wchoice.zip (I've included the resource DEHACKED and sprites, for the sake of an easy usage) Name: Weapon Of Choice Music: From Eviltech MAP03 Build time: 4 hours + 15 min additional works (like balancing ammo and adding an exit) :( 0 Share this post Link to post
Jimmy Posted May 25, 2014 Name: J-Pad's Space Pad Author: Jimmy Music: "Technical Difficulties" (written in less than 30 minutes while everyone else on the call was frantically trying to get the new DEHACKED monsters to work properly) Build Time: 2 hours + time to fix all the shitty bugs that cropped up in this last-minute Theme: Spaceport Compatibility: Boom 0 Share this post Link to post
Doomkid Posted May 25, 2014 SHIT, I FUCKING DID IT. I fell asleep again.. I think I'm too late, but here it is anyhow: http://www.mediafire.com/download/j345aipuviwoqia/dk_spee2.wad (Edited to add WolfSS enemies) "Brown Bloodbath" is the title. I took an hour and a half on this 1995-ish map. Theme: Oldschool / Brick Compat: Full Vanilla Compatibility I hope you decide to include it!

Alfonzo Posted May 25, 2014 Name: The Devil's Artist Wields a Chainsaw Author(s): Alfonzo Music: "The Stillness is Near" by David Shaw Build Time: 3 hours exactly Theme: Chainsaw! Compatibility: Boom For reasons hinted at in the title, I would advise against placing this map in any slot other than map01, although I guess it could fit in near to the start provided the map(s) before have stingy ammo balance. Fun little stint again today! I'm... getting faster, I guess? 0 Share this post Link to post

Phobus Posted May 26, 2014 Looks like I couldn't make this on the day after all - interesting challenge this time, but I won't give it a go. I'll try and make next month's :p 0 Share this post Link to post
Tarnsman Posted June 21, 2014 I totally realized I never uploaded my map for you Obsidian, sorry about that. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ej97nyy6n9tw45y/Tarns-Speed-21.wad 'Alfonzo Gets A Sex Change, Undoes that Sex Change, and Then Battles Concrete' is map name. 0 Share this post Link to post
