Alright, I have the map right now, I wont be able to look at it tonight however, training nights are Tuesdays and I have to get ready.

When I have time, I'll look over the map for these errors I'm hearing about. I'll fix 'em as best I can, then I'll send the map to the next mapper in line (Tracer B I believe) so they can add their part.

I'm doing this because I believe it is better to fix errors as soon as possible before we forget them or our map gets to the point where fixing something would be impossible.

Once I'm done with the map, I'll send it to the next mapper and I'll start making the SPLA.WAD file with all the custom textures we have used so far. I wont distrubute the file, but as new textures are used, I'll add them to the .WAD.

If someone is good at making textures, (I can only do the very basics) making a PitCrew2 plaque that we could put in the map with our names engraved on it.

Doc B, if you have better texture skillz than me, which is prolly the case, go for it. I just had a simple gold plaque in mind but sugestions are welcome.

Ok, I'll leave your textures out of it for now.

As for all getting together, thats going to be really hard for me to do something. I cant use the comp at home during weekdays mostly cause I dont have the time right now.

And I'm sure all the errors are in your part B

sometimes errors occur during the connection process, if you rotate it slightly, or rotate it a bunch, this can happen.

i suggest compiling your section as stated, then after you get the main map, check the orientation of your addition, and if it needs rotated, do it before you connect it, YES IN YOUR OWN MAP, not the main map, and recompile it.

if no errors occur, then attach away, but by all mean, fix those errors prior to sending to the next poor fool in line.

errors are unavoidable, passing them along unfixed is unacceptable, if you cannot fix them, ask for help, but never assume the next member is responsible.

Well since I'm lazy and nice I'll look over the errors already in our map. I have mucho experience finding leaks and leaf saw into leaf errors. Ahh the joys of Dark and Cliff Complexs.

Anyways, I'll keep the map now. If your section is ready to be added, upload it and send me the link. I'll look it over for errors and I'll connect it somewhere. Because so far all the section have been connected one after the other in a line, IE:

Moneyshot -- Sinner_D -- Doc B -- Horn

you havent commented on my suggestion WC...or anyone for that matter....i think its a damn good idea, for alot of reasons....

Doc Brass...

Ok, I looked at the map today, I fixed a few things, I think they were all in MS's part. Mostly too much detail where it needed not be. Cut down about 60 brushes worth anyways. But from a player's standpoint, it looks the same.

I've noticed that the missing textures are in MS's section, possibly from the factory.WAD which we never got. Oops. Crackerjack's section has some areas of "leaf saw into leaf" type of errors going on with the sky brushes and the rubble at the bottom of the water.

Doc B, could you try and make your section less linear please, I mean, your pretty much giving the player 1 way to go throughout your whole part. When the map gets to you, if you want to reposition your bit, feel free to do so too.

I've noticed also heavy use of the NULL texture. Personaly, I've never used it, and if you vertex manip your brushes proprely, you could go without it. I'm not an expert however, if someone else wants to give an opinion.

Try to keep your brushwork clean. It makes all our lives easier and makes compiling a whole lot faster.

Now I'm sending the map back to you guys. Doc Brasso check your PM for the link. Recheck your areas, work them as necessary. From there on, Doc, send the map to MS and then it will go to CJ. After that it will come back to me.

The link contains only a single .RMF so I hope you guys kept the textures. MS, somewhere in time, your laza got deleted so you'll have to put it back in.

Please comment guys.
