Sounds like a cool idea... however the rules need to be clear and comprehensive. Everyone must work together and not compete against eachother, otherwise it will be a disaster.
Brush limit is pointless If you were to pass the map to Sorrow then you`d find she`s just added 45,000 faces to the map with 12 brushes That is why a Face Limit is much more faesible. Only when the exact number of mappers have been defined can a face limit be proposed. If there are 10 mappers then I`d suggest a face limit per mapper of no more than 600 faces. A brush and clutter / object limit will also be needed, someone adding 600 face brushes for a laugh could just ruin it
There are a few jobs that need to be considered. Who will be responsible for portalling the map, adding respawns and pick-ups, overall lighting? Lots to consider.
I think the best way to deal with it would be to have a good mapper who takes and checks the map after each addition, adding portals etc where required.
The easiest type of map to make would be a selection of interlinking rooms... where each mapper makes a room, limited in size.
Great idea. I recommend you take control of portalling and lights
Back in RF... getting back into the swing of things!

hmm I think the mapper should be able take care of lights themselves if they want to.

Ditto. The mappers could do everything (light, portals, clutters) for the room they are in charge of.
If some bugs need to be fixed in the end. I propose that the mapper who started the map get the last word on it (since each mapper will prolly starts one) as long as he doesn't remove what has been made before.
I personally think that the map should be checked now and than, to be sure it doesn't have any holes, or that there limits exceeded. or maybe some other stuff like ps2 faces or t-joints that can be fixed.

Sorrow wouldn't map it......she "free'd up" alot of space on her harddrive by DELETING Red Faction. She'd probably pass the job along to her good friend Lace .
*EDIT* I do miss SORROW's maps, she was well on her way to becoming one of the best mappers RF ever had.
