I hate to say it, but I haven't gotten farther then some tests to make sure I remember how to map for Q2.  Yes, I'm slacking! But I'll post some screens/etc. here hopefully by the end of the week. |

Well, I technically haven't even tested to see if I can get a map to run in Quake2 yet.  |

I'M MAKING PROGRESS Will post my "quick sketch + notes" later today. It has ladders, elevators & no rail gun. Exact opposite idea compared to my previous map, evilmap. |

That's awesome happyfriar! BTW, have you heard anything from peeweerota? He's a fellow TS member, but he hasn't been back here since he joined the contest. I'm hoping he's working hard on his map, and is right on track now that we have less than a week to go  |

Here's a WIP pic. I FINLAY have time this week to work on it. Go figure.  Haven't heard anything from PeeWee. I'd assume he's working on it, I don't believe he'd sign up unless he planned on doing one. |

Ok, that map sucked so I scrapped it.
Sadly, I won't have a map ready for tomorrow... at least, odds are I won't. I've just had so much I had to get done before I could start working that I ran out of time. I will have one done soon, just not in time for the deadline.

You still have 5 days to finish your map, since the deadline has been moved to March 20th.

Do you plan on making this a rail only map? I got to say I'm a big fan of the movie Aliens. Also I like the look you're going for, in fact I once made something very similar myself, only to find out that long hallways worked better for SP. I recommend widening the corridors, adding rooms, escape routes, and wider areas every now and then, so players don't feel trapped.

Room being added, yes. There's an outside-ish area, loading bay, computer room & will be a bunk & meal area.
I planned for no rails but everything else. Heating ducts connect to the room/hallway when they run under/into one so there is multiple ways in/out. I might not be happy with what I turn in for the contest and continue working on it. When I was coming up with map ideas I wrote down my favorite MP maps and my favorite ones were either themes on realistic area (the maps from the MP AvP games I love) or from SP content (several Doom/D2 & Q1/2 SP maps). It's just what I happen to like.
