TF2Maps.net Mapping Contest #7: Payload (Dynamic element)

[What Is Schwa]

I'm super late to the party, but I think I'll give this a start, at least. My favorite parts of tf2m are the contests. I haven't really done anything new in years, and this is good inspiration.

Good luck everyone!

Question: Does the map get automatically submitted if it's in the contest entries sub forum?

 

[tyler]

Answer: No.

 

[Monsterclip]

lol...
Ok, obvious next question. How do I officially submit? As a first time contestant it wasn't clear to me on how. Maybe it will become clear closer to submission date.

 

[Fruity Snacks]

Reading the Original post explains it. (iirc)

There will be a submission thread open a week before the contest deadline.

 

[Freyja]

Specific prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place will be announced shortly, hang tight!

You guys are funny.

 

[A Boojum Snark]

Clearly they've had too much interaction with Valve. They've been affected by the time dilation. I'm glad I got out while I still could!

Mapper's Medallion seems like a good prize, no?

No, It doesn't involve money.

 

[MangyCarface]

No, It doesn't involve money.

 

[Tarry H Sruman]

The medallion is supposed to be a cool trophy you get in addition to a prize that has actual value, if I understand correctly. A cosmetic item in a game is hardly a sufficient reward for a contest with so many entrants that has gone on for so long.

 

[Ravidge]

There are prizes, and I have a wide array of excuses to explain why they're not listed, but none of them are interesting or worthwhile, it basically boils down to me forgetting and then being lazy.

 

[Draco18s]

It's ok, I'm forgetful and lazy too.
I figured I'd at least get the texturing done and have half-assed prop placement by now. Maybe even a hint brush or two, just to say I tried to optimize.
*Checks*
...still dev textures everywhere...barely any props (3D skybox? We use those now?)...and no optimizing...
