Major Mapping Contest #4

[YM]

Yes multiple entries are allowed, provided they're totally separate maps. You're not to pull an icarus and give us a dozen versions of waste.

Yes multiple entries are allowed, provided they're totally separate maps. You're not to pull an icarus and give us a dozen versions of waste.

considering this is only one game mode, i don't think you have to be worried about that.
the other map (that's in dev textures on my computer) isn't even the same theme as underhanded.

this is great news for use mappers, but i hope the judges don't get too overwhelmed.

if i enter multiple entries am i able to win multiple prizes, or will only the highest prize i achieve get awarded? (thus allowing other people a chance to get a prize)

so e.g. if i (very unlikely i know) came 1st, but also got a runners up position with a 2nd map, would i get the prize for that runner up position, or would the prize be given to the person who came next in line of the scores?

 

[YM]

You will only be able to win one prize.

 

[Ezekel]

You will only be able to win one prize.

that's perfectly fine by me

I got a question: Although my map uses CTF as a scoring mechanism, there is a cap point in the middle that opens routes/forwards spawn. Is this allowed within the rules?

EDIT: Looks like this has already been asked multiple times. Sorry.

I have a question:
I'm going to make a map to the "Major Mapping Contest #4" and I don't know is it legal to have a control point in map. The control point is made to open one door in the map. The goal would still be CTF. Is it legal?

So how do we enter? The original post says something about a submission thread? Is this not up yet? Or is it up some place and I missed it?

 

[The Political Gamer]

You need to post in the submission thread and that will not be up till the end of the contest. Until then just work on your map.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

So I dont have to announce anything until the end?
Read: my map is still in super duper pre alpha, as in just the mid is made.

You'll want to post a thread if you want test feedback, but no, you don't have to.

I have made a top down sketch. Now to create my map

Also, how are we supposed to get the spobsers ad in the map

 

[MangyCarface]

Uh, can the submission thread open up before the deadline? I have to submit months early before I leave for Japan

 

[Void]

I'm sure you can leave it with someone you trust to submit it come the deadline.

 

[A Boojum Snark]

Alternatively, I'd be surprised if we couldn't allow a special case submission.

 

[God of Rock]

Also, how are we supposed to get the sponsers ad in the map

Anyone? I'm confused. :facepalm:

 

[StickZer0]

Anyone? I'm confused. :facepalm:

There's a zip file somewhere with the models and overlays. Let me find it, one sec

Edit: Here

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Any word on the prize system? It said on the main post "A few days" but I think it may have been a bit longer than that...

 

[YM]

Just 11 days remain.

If you still need to finish, get on it asap!

 

[The Political Gamer]

You guys picked the judges yet? :O

 

[YM]

Judging wont begin on the 8th, there will be a short period where we're still accepting changes if your map is suddenly found to break servers, you can fix it. Cosmetic/gameplay/optimization changes etc will not be allowed, just fixes to gamebreaking flaws.

Then, depending on the number of submissions there may be a preliminary round where the judges cast a simplified vote so that judges/players are not inundated with maps to review. We'll decide exactly how we run this when we have all the submission in, since the number is unpredictable.

Whoot! 11 days!

I mean.. 11 days!? CRAP.
