After several mini (>5 minute) maps were released in quick succession at Duke4.net Forge put forward the idea of another 2 hour CBP, and it seemed to gather some interest, so this thread can be used to discuss how the CBP will proceed. Afterall, besides Parkade and Cherekov Station released early this year and those 7 god awful 5 minute maps/10 second edits released by that guy[http://forums.duke4.net/topic/5231-duke-nukem-the-man-of-valor], who knows how long until we'll see another map.

So far, Norvak and Supertanker have expressed some interest, and I wouldn't mind having a go. A suggested theme has been a space-city, but nothing's been settled upon. Would anyone else like to join? I'd make a list of the participating mappers, but I wouldn't be able to edit that list if it grows.

The list so far:

Mike Norvak
Micky C
High Treason
Mister Sinister
Maarten
Merlijn
Captain Awesome
Forge
Quakis
William gee

Like I said, I'm definitely interested. and I'd love to do a space city!

Sounds cool

I'll guess Forge or me could do the editing of the list of participants.

Micky C · « **Reply #3 on:** January 31, 2012, 09:27:33 AM »

omg, what happened to my post?

What would you define a space city as? a place on the moon with large towers with lights going all the way up?

I looked into it and it seems beyond repair

Some errors while writing the hyperlinks.

This is why you should allow permanent user editing

Forge · « **Reply #6 on:** January 31, 2012, 11:56:33 AM »

I "fixed" your post. Lots of open-ended tags.

The last proposed cbp was going to be pretty close to this exact theme. A city in a domed space station, but it died due to lack of participants.

Alot of those people posting in that quick map thread @ Duke4 don't even know this site exists, so you may want to focus the recruiting efforts there and link them to here.

I'm on the fence about participating. I'm not entirely motivated to build anything. If you get a bunch of people and put me in the middle I may draw inspiration from their work and add in a little part, but I can't guarantee anything at this time.

That will never happen!

Well, no replies on that thread yet. I know I'm not up there with the "greats" yet, so I hope my involvement isn't a cause for hesitation for some people who would normally join this kind of thing.

Count me in.
I have lots of time this week, but it's no problem to build later on it.... it's only 2 hours after all

Has nothing to do with it.

Seems nobody maps anymore, and those that do are too chicken shit to get involved with a project that might actually be taken serious and get seen by somebody. They're too busy making little scenes for screenshots to post to Duke4 and get their reputation boosted without ever actually releasing anything.

Alright, 4 mappers, now we're starting to get somewhere

We really need to settle on a theme though. A space-city can be just about anything.

Why did the dome-city idea fail forge? Was it too hard to make the dome? It should be possible with TROR, not sure how polymost-compatible it would be (probably not very given its instability).

The project failed due to lack of participation. IIRC only three mappers said they'd join.

The last 2-hour cbp (crimson moon) almost failed, but a few mappers decided to do more than one or two sections to keep it alive and get it finished.

I noticed all the response Mike was getting at Duke4 about the 1-1/2 hr mapping challenge and thought why not just make a 2hr cbp, but then all those people got scared when they seen a serious project.

May I count you on the list at Duke4.net?
