LOL lego man huh, thats pretty funny

I usually put a monster_rat in my maps, so I'll throw one or two in my section, too. I think the strangest thing I put in a map...well 2 maps in a row one time, was a picture of Ronald McDonald waving around a corner.
Hmm, maybe I'll make him an easter egg in my portion...instead of Ratty-Rat.
So how are we gonna put everyone's names in this map? A plaque? A game_text?

well, ive already started and s**tcanned 2 versions....in relation to each others sections, im finding that "wingin it" is a 4 star pain in the ass.....but on the other hand, WC is the one whos gonna take a screwing trying to put this thing together....and i dont see how its gonna be possible to confine yerself to around 7000 patches to get anything decent on it, if you dont know what else is gonna be next to yer section.....connectivity is critical....so.....we need to confer as to layouts etc heavily, IMHO....comments? suggestions?

i dont mean to butt in, but i will anyway. i realise that this project is in much more capable hands than mine, but i've seen a few people posting concerns about how/when to go about joining the pieces together, and i'd like to make a suggestion. everyone sends there basic rooms to WC now, so he could arrange them on the grid and create a skeleton blueprint kind of thing. then he could post it back to all concerned. once everyone knew where, in relation to their own work, everyone else's was, the connection/corridors etc could be arranged much more collectivly than the current plan seems to allow. and it would save WC from sooo much pressure trying to do it on his own at the end, when everyone wanted to see how their bit fitted in, and kept sending him hate-mail saying bad stuff about how he was taking too long and other bad stuff that i can't say here........ right, i seem to have lost track somewhere, so i'll butt out now

picture your project, attached to a heavy chain and one end is also attached to a stout pole..
you guys will never finish if you do the whole thing in your heads and send the pieces to WC for attachment.
i know ours is also incomplete, but till this final stumper, our product advanced rapidly.. you really need to make the map in segments, but allow each person to incorporate their own additions.
otherwise you will stall, and most likely end up with a group of areas attached by endless halls.
you need to really consider this, add your section and pass the rmf to the next in line, set a deadline and stick to it..

MoneyShot's section is done (save the later revision to it). I got Sinner_D's section as well, dont know if its final or not though. I can send MS's section to Sinner_D so he can incorporate his section onto it. Then send it back to me. If that sounds like a plan.
As well, the easter egg idea, well, I dont know where that came from. But for now dont worry too much about that. Just make your sections. The sooner they are done, the sooner we can move forward with the map.
Comments?
As well, try to get your sections done ASAP please. I understand some of you cant go on the comp and map as they please but try your best.

sounds good, send MS's section, ill attach it, and make corretions to myn to fit with his, then ill send it back to u WC. as far as i know im done, i really cant fit anything else in, once i seen MS's section, i may deside to redo, or alter my section to fit more with his, that way we got somethin started ![]()
P.S. for those who havent started yet, PLEASE dont wait til the last minute to drop out, if ur unable to map for us at present time, please say so and bow out now so the rest of us can get on with this project...no offence, but im getting rather bored over here.
also, WC if the file is more then 1mb ill have to DL it from somewhere, my email addy dont allow more then 1mb.

take ur time guys, but keep in mind you have people waiting on you, so please be as quick as possible ![]()
MS, ive already seen ur section, atleast before the remodeling
if you want i can give u a link to my section and u can have a look...its not compiled, but the rmf should give ya an idea of the place

Ok, Sinner_D, I cant send you MS's section until late tonight. In like 5 or 6 hours. I have a little bit of fix 'em up to do first. So, I'll PM you a link then. Tracer Bullet, good luck with your studies. They take priority over the mapping. I guess I'll get started on my centerpiece soon as well.
DocRock, whats happening with your section? If its ready, send it over.
Doc Brasso, how goes your section as well?

my fourth rendition is almost complete, and i wish to confer with the folks providing the adjacent sections to me before sending it to you.....the reasons being:
1....yer gonna have yer hands full as it is trying to connect these puppies...
2....trying to stay within tolerable limits of size is well, a pain, as im known for pushing the limits on map sizes....
3.... just to maintain a bit of symmitry....(speeling?)
Doc Brass...
edit....the method of "passing the rmf around is , to me, a much better way to go....///just my 2 cents
