Good for you, but it doesn't help those for who it doesn't (in other words, everyone else). ;)
I meant it worked on another computer besides the one I uploaded it on. i assume you guys are left-clicking and not-right clicking, since the latter definitely won't work.

Anyway, sent via e-mail to Tormentor.

While playing e1m2 I've noticed that there was a piece of a hellish influence. That means It won't hurt If I'll add some to e1m3, eh?

@Nmn - Some hellish influence is always okay, as long it isn't used too often.

By the way, E1M2 looks amazing, I really love the touches done to the map but I'd like to see more of that, for example moving secrets to other places, making old secrets usual rooms and add more open areas to the thing at all.
For E1M4 (kirby), I just have to say, that we have to do a lot to this map. Detail level is very low and many areas look out of place because they don't seem to have any special sense. The small hallways filled with LITE3s looks damn ugly :( I don't think that this is very bad as we all know that kirby is a beginner but I just wanted to say this to give TUD an idea what he has to accomplish!

Ya, the one thing I'm not very good at is adding a lot of detail. I always get these great ideas and such, but I can never get a lot of detail into them. I plan to work on this as I go onto E1M6, especially after reading torm's article :)

Actually, Biohazard is the one working on E1M4 next ;). If his work on E1M9 week 1 is anything to go by, he should be able to turn Kirby's efforts into something amazing! :)

Err ... from where did I get the idea that TUD is next!? :( Well, if it is BioHazard, you are absolutely right. :) So I am damn curious about the results ;)

Okay, some small new extra news: It is very obvious, that we still have to do a lot of work after week number 3 due to the fact, that all maps highly differ in things concerning style, monster & ammo placement and design. So this is why we will add 5 more weeks to the developement of our new episode, in which I want to have the following persons be part of:

- Nmn
- Nightmare
- BioHazard
- cccp_leha
- Risen

I'd be glad if these persons have enough time from Octobre till the end of Novembre to work with me on the maps that leave week 3. Our major aim on this will be to provide a straight style of design and ammo/weapon balance to the maps so they really look like, if they are part of one episode.
Oh and by the way, I didn't chose this persons because I don't like the work, you other guys have done, I just chose them because they exactly did, what I had in mind, so please don't misunderstand this ;) I am still glad that you guys volunteered, because without you, this would have never been possible!

The area you start in (not the original E1M4 start, the place Kirby left the player start in ;)) definitely needs some improvements.
