TF2Maps.net Major Contest #13: Asymmetry 2: Asymmetric Boogaloo

[Fruity Snacks]

Halloween maps are perfectly fine however keep in mind the contest lasts for two months after Halloween.

Uh, have you ever seen a Nightmare Before Christmas?

Now I HAVE to do this.

passtime?

 

[Viemärirotta]

passtime?

I think that can be done as it would follow the same thing for normally symmetrical gamemodes aka Pass Time would be normally symmetrical, but can be done asymmetrical for the contest.

 

[Muddy]

that's what you get for posting minions

 

[Joshenkstone]

can someone somehow see what post on this site has the most respectful disagrees, it must be beatable.

Lets not wander too far off topic.

I feel that, while Sawmill is technically asymmetrical, it is not asymmetrical in any way that significantly affects gameplay. For it to count, the two sides would have to bear little resemblance to eachother, like that one Asian Arena map whose name I can't remember

Edit, this one

 

[biskuu]

Might try to get some ideas going, although I'm pretty busy with my 5CP project atm..

A map like Sawmill can count like Asymmetrical?

In sawmills case I would still say it is symmetrical. It is a symmeetrical map with minor asymmetric elements where the spirit of this contest is to make asymmetric maps.

However if you really must mirror some of the layout I will confirm that on a case for case basis

I have a question on the layout side of things.

For my map, Blu starts on the attacker side and Red starts on the defenders side (The layout is 1-point asymmetrical). Blu's objective is to stand on a capture point for as long as possible in five minutes. After the five minutes are up, the sides switch, and Red has to beat Blu's time.

Would this still count as an asymmetrical layout, even if the sides switch halfway through?

Edit: Also, are small cosmetic things still allowed to be taken from other maps? There's a door design I'd like to borrow from another map of mine. (Sorry if this is a dumb question, new to TF2Maps)

will TF2C entries be accepted, or is it just Live TF2?

Because I'm pretty good at DM maps.

This is a contest for TF2, so only TF2 entries will be accepted. If you want to figure out how to make a deathmatch mode in TF2, and you make the layout asymmetrical, then sure - but TF2C is not TF2 therefore we don't accept entries made for it.

This is more or less just a normal a/d map with forced stopwatch, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Yes this is fine.

If you want to make a map in TF2C Hammer, then I'll watch.

And laugh.

Would it be alright to submit an asymmetric map even if I technically started working about a week before the contest started? Even now, I haven't done any testing/public-releases yet and the a1 is barely 1/3 of the way finished.

Any maps made prior to the start of the Boogaloo will not be acceptable for entry, sorry.

Dang. Oh well, the map probably wouldn't do very well anyways, so I'll just work on it normally and skip the contest.

Thanks for telling me!
