TWHL Synthesis

A blast from the past

For this, the 44th competition here on TWHL, we are asking you to look back at our long and varied history of mapping competitions. With a wide selection of challenges spanning over two decades, there's no shortage of themes to chose from. That is what we are asking of you. To create an entry to one of our previous competitions!

Well... it's not quite as simple as that.

You have to many wad files. Go to JACK settings, remove unused wads and compile the map again. Also don't open .map use JACK original .jmf format.

Thanks to both of you. I never made it to having to transition to another map in the past; this one was getting big. I have it working now, after sorting out some logic issues. Much to consider!...

> 5 YEARS!? God that feels so... SO wrong lmao!

Same by me. It is difficult to realize that the music video from The Chalkeaters - Count to Three came out almost 4 years ago!

In case it's of any interest to anybody, I have this GIMP script that I use for automatically converting images to GoldSrc instead of going through all the steps every time:
