- Start date
Why dont you download the prefab cmf and take a look, it wont take you long to see how it works.
yes, its a blu flag
Read all the text. I'm not gunna tell you until you do.
Immortal-D has taken the time to explain stuff, so how rude of you to say you're too lazy to take the time to read it.

I just skimmed over it a third time after reading it once (a while ago), and I'm pretty sure there's no mention of custom textures/models other than maybe using custom flag models or custom tf2maps logos (which you'd have to get verified before using!)
So, uh, I guess if it's not against the rules, you're allowed to?
I didn't see anything either..
It is rather confusing. If it's anything like the previous PL contest, then only the TF2maps posters are acceptable. But then, we're allowed custom flags? There needs to be more definition on other user content usage.
I'm guessing since the rules are "rules too" rather than "rules to not" that we should assume that only the listed content is acceptable. But that really needs definition from an invigilator.

I need a precision about what's allowed and what's not in the plant the flag game mode :
Ok, first off, we are told there must be three stages, then 2 to 4 caps in each stage, which would make the total number of cap 6 to 12, then this is further restricted to 3 to 8, which doesn't make sense.
So I assume the number of stages isn't actually 3 but more like 1 to 3, with the total number of caps being 3 to 8 across all stages ?
Additionally, should it be needed for map balance, or as a matter of personal preference : are the timers (flag return timer, flag spawn timer after cap, etc...) modifiable or are they imposed. Right now they seem reasonable but you never know....

i will be entering, but one thing bothers me..
since we are trying to get a new gamemode going, why hang to the CTF tag
can´t we call it CPF or sth like that
1. many people avoid ctf
2. but they are always curious about new gamemodes... hence a new tag like CPF would spark some interest

Loc n lol - you need three stages. you can have two or three captures in each. thats all you need to know, and since thats what the prefab uses that makes it much easier
eerieone - because it is ctf_ adding a new prefix has multiple backfires:
1. It confuses the hell out of players (remember, your average player is a total retard)
2. It poses questions like "what does it stand for" when actually it doesn't matter what it stands for
3. People stay further away from new prefixes than they do twisted gamemodes.
4. Not to mention it shows up funny on the loading screen
people avoiding ctf is the very reason we're running this contest, to try and pump new life into ctf.
As far as custom content goes, you'll have to wait till ID gets to the thread since he's the one running it, he's calling the shots.

I was the one that objected to a new prefix, on the grounds that CP is used for many different modes as it is.
My argument is that the prefix is used to denote the primary objective system, not explain how to play. CP uses zones you stand in to capture, PL uses a payload you push, CTF uses a flag you carry somewhere. (and for the record, I think it was silly for valve to not just use PL for pipeline)
I have updated the op to (hopefully) address some of your concerns. Check the bottom of the rules section.
