TF2Maps.net Mapping Contest #5: The Art Pass Contest

[Dr. Spud]

Been meaning to ask, are Valve doing anything similar to the Polycount Pins for this contest?

I like this. You should negotiate Artpass Contest items.

 

[Void]

I wish. I could use some cash right about now.

You and me both, pal.

 

[Loc_n_lol]

Valve pay for this stuff, it's not something done out of mere generosity or convinience, they do have business sense

All evidence to the contrary, they actually buy custom maps when they could probably get away with stealing them, and they could have released at least two full-priced 'sequels' to TF2 by now.

Two?
More like 10 15$ DLC updates. Or how ever many major updates Tf2's had. I lost count.

10 or so. One for each class, plus a class-less update. Minus 2 for the dual-class updates.

Is there NO WAY we can all get an extension? This timing is absurd, we all just started school and there is NO time left... disappointing to lose out because I couldn't start til after a month after the announcement

If only this contest due date was in Valve time.

However, the submission thread is already up. I think if you want this to taken seriously, then you should make a new thread.

I hope people are func_nobuilding their spawns and stairs... there could be a lot of stuff happening in the BLU spawn due to the lack of these in the base vmf.

Why the stairs? And I thought all of BLU spawn was already a respawnroom but I'll check it and put nobuild in there later if neccessary.

 

[grazr]

People can block stairs with buildings, it's one of the most annoying things about 2fort. The amount of times i've died because an engi has blocked off the steps with a teleporter is beyond me.

Not to mention this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Drfw-QVUDG8

 

[A Boojum Snark]

Yeah you don't need nobuilds in respawnrooms, the f_rr contains the nobuild code.

 

[J4CK8]

Hmmm, if Valve don't bother to nobuild stairs, why should we?
It's not stairs I find that blocking thing annoying on, it's the hill outside dustbowl stage 2 red spawn.

 

[A Boojum Snark]

Well gameplay considerations aside, it looks really dumb to have a building floating in the air cause it was placed on a big slope and just the edge is touching

 

[lower111]

only 2 days left :O

I knew what that was going to be without clicking it... :unsure:

So I have around 8 hours tomorow and friday to do this and college work. I need to stop procrastinating and compile this damn thing.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Today: about 2 hours
Tomorow: about 3 hours
Friday night: 8 hours of mapping FUCK YEAH

 

[fubarFX]

Friday night: 8 hours of mapping FUCK YEAH

This
probably 10 hours for me

Need some clarification here..

Download: artpass_zpqrei.zip (single zip archive with just the bsp (with all content PackBSP/Pakrat'd) in)

Please make sure you read the rules very thoroughly as we will go over each map carefully to make sure it complies and if it doesn't, it will be disqualified.

So you're gunna check that my already compiled bsp file compiles fine??? So do you want a VMF or BSP or both. Be clear boy!

"Complies" not "Compiles"!
