In my experience, VIDE's manual packing is broken (and sometimes breaks maps), and Pakrat's auto-packing is broken. You should probably just have them both downloaded.

for some time I actually did it like that. auto packing with vide and then manual packing with packrat (it didn't break the bsp even though people told me it does), until I found out how to manually pack with vide correctly, what is a bit weird

Hey Fantasmos, have you started the SFM flythrough of the detail maps yet? I want to ask you something.

Very far into it, down into the last 8 maps then it's off to editing

Ok, so it's too late to take a music request, I assume :|

Not at all, right now i'm just grabbing the videos to use in it, then i'm loading all the clips and music in sony vegas, so the song isn't decided fully yet. Post it please (and anyone else who has a song idea)

Alright, I know you don't like to use songs with lyrics, but take a look at "Take a Walk" It's a great song, and for whatever reason, I feel like it fits the theme of the contest.

List of entries this community thinks are inferior to a closet:
  1. hqdefault
  2. iiboharz
  3. iiboharz2
  4. lampenpam
  5. fantasmos
  6. prettyboy
  7. cubemap
  8. tech
  9. JohnRavenEye

You guys have no idea how sad I am that Aly is not on this list. So close, too.

GOOD JOB EVERYONE THOUGH, having the courage to enter a contest like this is no small feat. Don't feel discouraged if you got beat by a closet unless you're Fantasmos. It was, after all, a very high quality closet.

As much as I know you're joking, I really think this is a really dickish idea because anyone that doesn't know about your "characteristics" (aka most newer people here) could really take this the wrong way.

Yeah, it's hard to tell my emphasis anyways due to text.

I'm serious though when I say good job with just entering. If you stick with this, take in account what you learned with the contest, no matter what rank you were. Just entering a contest even if your map is the lowest ranked one in it is ok. Trust me, that happened to me in the Two Skillsets Part 2 contest.

My challenge to anyone on this list is for the next detailing contest coming up that you enter, give it your all so that I have absolutely no one to put on my "List of entries this community thinks are inferior to a player trapped in an oil barrel rolling down a hill" that I'll invariably make for the next detailing entry! Trust me when I say you all can do it, I can see that in your entries already! You all have what it takes, just gotta refine it.

not to mention the fact that I in fact previously said that I felt really bad about not doing well. I understand it's a joke, but it's still a blatant reminder that I was shit.

So, as many of you know I am making a showcase of all the maps, and all your sfm renders (215gb worth) have just finished but I'm not 100% on the song i'm going to use so, please post any suggestions.

Also congrats to the winners, I personally am enthralled by pliplop's one and definitely want to use it as inspiration for my next map, and I believe that's the reason many others voted for it.

Do something instrumental, nothing with lyrics in it.
