***Control Point mini-contest***

[Octoplasma]

you took my idea! this contest will be good

Count me in! By the way, correct me if I'm wrong but are we allowed to use stuff created with propper?

Read the first post, specifically this bit:

• Custom content is allowed, but only made entirely by yourself using your own resources or Valve's content.

So did this contest just start but so entering when im allowed on pc again (currently at school).
Also is it a cp map or just a cp area?

I'll let you draw your own conclusion after re-reading the original post:

• Nothing has to be functional at all, this is purely detailing practice.

Koth maps are allowed too?

Same as above but with this added:

• You may construct any of the conventional control point types, A/D, 5cp mid/2nd/last, TC, Payload, etc (No A/D ctf points or custom CP twists as those do not fall under "conventional" ie. established by Valve).

If we were to say make the point capable and have some sort of finale type effect accompanying that. Would that be considered part of the detail? Or is would that not be judged at all?

That will earn you a big fat disqualification. We're looking for detailing practice here not a fancy effect practice. You may use small ammounts of dynamic content, say if you have a conveyor it can actually move boxes but a full on goldrush type finale is way out of the question.


I'm noticing most of my responces are just quoting the main post back to people. Please make sure you read it carefully!

So does this mean we aren't allowed to use photoshop or blender cause they aren't made by us?

i truly doubt you're required to create your own picture editing software/model making software, and then your own texture/model for it to be acceptable.

Yeah, because then you'd have to use third-party programming software, which would be cheating

Use some common sense. What use would it be to say you can use any custom content you can make... but only if you can make the applications to make the content in yourself.

It would be like saying you've got to build a kit car, only you can't use any spanners, wrenches, tape etc unless you made them yourselves.


So for anyone still confused: You're allowed to USE THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE TO MAKE ASSETS. (as the assets made within are still 100% your creations still.....)

I'm going to join but I don't have Internet infill Friday

 

[Dr. Spud]

I'm making an entry. In the vineyard style, but new geometry. I haven't started any custom textures or models yet, so everything should be okay.

 

[Sgt.Sausage]

Glad so many people are entering, good luck everyone.

Maybe one day people will read and think before they ask questions.

This means you have to use notepad for this contest because you didn't make hammer either. Good luck with notepad! :O

 

[Void]

that joke got old real fast

 

[littleedge]

(And Notepad was made by not-you! Oshi-)

It seems we'll have as many control points as swamps. Great.

 

[Cameron:D]

Ooooh
I'm going to try and make a full 5cp map :3

 

[Jack Riguel]

ooo. Nice to see more of these, and the deadline is a lot more friendly to my schedule this time.

I've got two out of six TC points started... maybe I screw around with one of those.

[martijntje]

wouldnt it be awesome if we would make a TC map out of the top 6?

 

[Tapp]

Wow, I'm really enjoying this. I'm guessing it's okay to release the contest entry as a koth map afterwards?
