72-Hour Mapping Contest #2 - Starting 27.06

[Wilson]

Speaking of mapping music, i learn a valuable lesson today.

Much as i love MSPA, i prefer Doctor Who soundtrack over MSPA soundtrack any day.
Everyone should try doing that least once, do speed mapping and have doctor forever on background, it is like trying to save world by mapping.

I learned that path_tracks are the killer of souls.
I learned that if you want a brush in your map, you have to bury the paint-pot it's glued to in a sand displacement.
I learned that subdivide is Carve for posh people, and i am a posh person deep in my dark soul.
I learned that an hour and a half is, apparently, not enough time to compile, check and pak a single, small, map.

Ooh, also:

 

[Tom Hoen]

I learned to detail a map (kinda first time detailing).
I learned how little I really know about different models in TF2.
I learned how hard it is to me map without first sketching my ideas.

Hopefully the map plays well and everything works. Tomorrow I will be editing my time lapse video of me mapping this.

 

[Randdalf]

I learnt that PLR is a complete mess to set up.

 

[Sergis]

I learned that i can actually do displacements and their clipping quite quickly when i stop procrastinating them.

 

[YM]

I learnt that

• A certain copypasta method for wall beams makes it so much faster once you've done the first room.
• Angles are still fun to work with, had 1:1 1:2 and 1:4 in there.
• I should have used hard edge more
• Bots work with payload
• Kill triggers need to have clients checked to work
• Supermassive satellite dishes suck in superstars
• I have an unhealthy obsession with keyframe_ropes

 

[Fruity Snacks]

I learned that my chair is really uncomfy.

 

[Ida]

I learned that I should be efficient and have a plan. Being polite is apparently not the way to finish maps in 72 hours.

 

[Wilson]

Sniper should host the next 72 hour mapping contest, he is all of those.

I had a lengthy, memorable post in the upload thread but meanwhile Fr0z3n locked that one, so here is the short version:

37 maps uploaded to PlayStuff.net MapLab and put in rotation: http://playstuff.net/servers.php



Good job guys on the maps!

 

[REEJ]

I got to polish this map, wish I hadn't gone sleep yesterday.
Might actually manage to fix and compile it over 12 hours instead of 5.

 

[DaBeatzProject]

Massive congrats to everyone who entered - you already did a fabulous job by entering. Also a thanks and good jawb @ Muffin for arranging this and putting his 72 hours in this (kinda)

Good luck in the voting!

I learned that 72 hour contests will strip you of all sanity you may have, deprive you of sleep, and turn you into an antisocial cave troll.

You know what, it was worth it.

Great contest everyone, I had a ton of fun.

It was tiring, frustrating, but it got me working on a project i've been wanting to for ages.

 

[REEJ]

I give my thanks to Leminnes for compiling my map.
And to Muffin.
And to a dead VRAD process, that made me waste 5 hours.

 

[littleedge]

I released a map in dev textures. I participated in a contest.

Do you know how many maps I've made that I said I'd release in dev textures? So many. Do you know how many contests I've told myself I'd participate in? So many.

I don't care if my map was rushed and kinda bad. I succeeded. I win this contest.

 

[MangyCarface]

I learned that windows in the right places make gameplay so much more interesting

 

[owly-oop]

i learned that plr is the best gamemode and that curves are awesome and make me clinically insane

 

[clayton]

forgive the utter noob here, but am i allowed to vote for my own map? or even vote at all (as an entrant)?

[edit: not that i necessarily would vote for my own map..... just hypothetically, like]
