Major Mapping Contest #4

[YM]

Well, as long it isn't multi staged and is ctf, it would be allowed.

AND defines the winner as the team who capped the most flags in X amount of time. Assigning points for other things moves it into not allowed.

Does capping a flag count as holding it for a certain amount of time? That's what I plan to do with my map. After the time runs out, the winner is decided on the most "caps" or minutes with the flag in their possession.

Clarification request: "Class involvement".

Is that geared towards "normal" classes (Demo/Scout/Soldier/Medic), towards the "less-used" classes, or both?

Ideally, you want to try and give all the classes a chance. Ultimately though, comp. teams will likely stick w/ the main classes regardless.

I'm going to have to hate this new scoring system. Getting a cap every 20 seconds doesn't equate to fun

 

[grazr]

fast gaming doesn't necasserily mean fast scoring.

 

[PenPen]

Yes! More maps for me to try out and test around. I'll be on gamedays when possible to help provide feedback, like "the intel should be in midair which can only be gotten thru rocket/sticky jumps."

Bad jokes aside, I can't wait to test them out when they're up.

Waaw, I'm surprised about the amount of CTF maps which just got released :O

We're allowed to work on are entry. You know like people have uploaded alpha's now. Can we work on those alpha's before entry.

And also i dont beleive it specified about custom content. Are we allowed to use customs by other people?

 

[grazr]

You can only work on an alpha that has not yet been released for public testing.

 

[Jethro]

Are we allowed to upload our maps to a server and test them out with people BEFORE the deadline?

 

[gamemaster1996]

So the public release version is the one that gets entered?

 

[HeaH]

Yeah. Do it as much as possible!

Sorry for the late reply, discussion with the site staff took place. What you're suggesting is essentially KOTH, which isn't CTF so we're going to say no.

Almost considering adding a rule that states you HAVE to have had it tested first hmy:

Yes please make use of our testing facilities, we'll be doing specific contest gamedays, normal gamedays and impromptu tests for as many maps as possible.

not diggin the advertisement requirement.

You submit your map in the submission thread once it appears towards the contest deadline. Only what you submit will be judged just like previous contests.

Nobody really enjoys it. That's why our previous contests have only required 1 TF2M poster, and 2 for other sponsors. It's a nice way to show appreciation, especially since I never see anyone slapping a TF2M tag on their regular maps anyways (I'm looking at you, community :glare. However, the fact of the matter is that Novint is shelling out big bank for this event, so we're going to make the contest worth their investment.

 

[Dragonstorm24]

I'm going to enter this. I was already working on a CTF map.

 

[Bob Ross]

eh i could deal with it but my map is already in alpha so oh well :/
