[Inqwel]

So the contest is suppose to end in 10 days. When does a thread go up, or is there already one and I missed it?

 

[Freyja]

It'll go up probably at the end of the weekend, I was aiming for a week to go, but I can post it when I get home today

 

[LadyRaee]

1 week left, so stressful. Hopefully my work wont be on the last place.

 

[Hyperion]

Last time I worked with my entry was on the first week when this contest started. Oh well

NOTE: On my map download, there might possibly be some cubemap, texture or compression problems. I was not sure which order to do them, but I did it this way.
1. Cubemaps
2. Pack content with VIDE
3. Compress

It looks like we already have some nice looking entries in the upload thread. I look forward to seeing what all we get for this contest (and hopefully some of these spawn rooms are incorporated into real maps by some of you).

Cubemaps are derpy if you compress your map. They won't load for some people for no reason.

Well the rules said "compress your map" so it was kind of forced actually.

 

[Freyja]

I have never experienced cubemaps breaking on compressed maps since the first week?

 

[LeSwordfish]

To answer the original question: Yes, that's the right order. Compressing is the last thing you should do, but you can pack/build cubemaps in whatever order you like so long as its before compression.

I know, some people will have problems with cubemaps. Fix for that is "mat_specular 0"

That happens for very few people. I know @Davekillerish has that problem. Afaik he has the problem with all my maps, and is only one, who has reported problems.
