Give me a hard one, as I really enjoy a challenge and have been doing this for a while, so I have a decent amount of mapping experience.

Was going to ask though Dr, have you set the size specifications for doors and portals? I can't remember seeing it on the site.

The gates are already made and hopefully my one is in mosaic no. 1 <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif">
After all I did send mine as soon as you made this idea.

but you sent me a map that crashes hammer when ever it is loaded. You need to re-send it to me and this time put the vmf in a zip file.

As soon as you can, if you take tooooo long, some one else may get to take your spot. But all that means is you will have more time to work on it while the next mosaic map is being put together.

and, andrei... your hdd is all gone? dead? holy s**t that is the worst...

maybe just let everyone work on the areas they want.. and if you end up with more than 1 of each area, you already have your second mosaic..

Andrei, u should have used GetDataBack <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">
Anyway... I mailed it and hope you'll are able to do something with it <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif"> It is not very much-lit room, but I tried to make it look natural. Maybe it isn't but I don't have any more time to work with it so I finished it off fast. I'm really afraid that there are too few ropes but the heck..

Oh, but I did use a data recovery program and It was unable of recovering anything due to beyond-bad clusters . So I erased everything completely.

I put together the 3 areas I have and I put together a 4th area for the beta, I must say its pretty neat. With a few bug fixes it will be ready for relese.

Great! Given how enthusiastic people are in joining such a project, I think we're going to have at least 4 or 5 more mosaics. I can't wait to see mosaic #1 and I can't wait to start making a room for mosaic #2 (and I will this weekend).

Hey Doc. I haven't officially signed up yet, although I've been fiddling with something for Area 10. The template itself is rather small... and consequently my area is very linear. Its nothing more than a hallway and a large room. Is this ok? My goal is to make something that looks strong so that walking through a connector is like... whoah. In other words, the gameplay is going to suck... is that a problem?

nope, I was just running around beta with a friend and I must say its pretty neat, even if gameplay isn't the best.

Think I might make a part of the mosaic... How many cubes big is the mosaic? Does it make a cube or a square or what? You should make an overall pic showing all the different sections alignments...

I think for a future mosaic there should be a morphing of themes between, so any area that joins has to morph the themes of the opposite rooms maybe.
