TF2Maps.net Mapping Contest #7: Payload (Dynamic element)

[Fruity Snacks]

Hey, thats where I was basically 4-5 days ago.

 

[Draco18s]

you can do this, I believe in you!

Ha!
I haven't touched the map in, oh, two weeks now.
Thinking about just vomiting it on the forums with not much more than a shrug.
Might be a decent map, if a decent mapper got a hold of it. Sadly, that I am not.

I keep telling myself that there is still plenty of time, but I believe myself less and less every day...

Is yours pl_mines? I strongly suggest a recompile with lights and a different screenshot for you. You're doing a publicity photo here not a layout!

To clarify, contest ends Monday 30th, 22:00 GMT, right? That's how i translated the time difference but i tend to be terrible with this kind of thing and we changed DST only the other week, in the UK.

To be honest, i thought the deadline was in a little over 24 hours, ending late on Friday for some reason. Now i found i have the whole weekend to do last minute details... ""

 

[Motanum]

Wow, I just uploaded my map. I am soo tired now. I hope it is well recieved! Untill monday as it is time to watch Roger Waters!

 

[Ezekel]

it's not in the rules but it's kinda bad form when a map entered is using an existing name... especially when it's been pointed out before

henke, i'm talking to you

simple google, or even tf2maps search reveals:

not trying to be the bad guy, but ya know, bad form.

 

[henke37]

Well, I have no better name, so I haven't changed it. I would change it the instant I could think up a new name, I do not like having the same name either.

 

[tyler]

Even if you change it to pl_henke, you need to change it. Lack of a name you like is no excuse.

 

[LeSwordfish]

It's not simply a politeness thing. People who played early versions of that map will be unable to run yours. Which is an 0 in technical in my books.

13 hours to go people ! :O

I woke up in the night and realized I need to add nobuild areas. Also saw a new map rising in my dreams.

My first proper map, so took a while to get right.
It's a standard PL run (3 caps plus the end pit) in an outdoors woodland setting.
There is a draw-bridge, a turn-table, a train that runs on time, a tunnel, a ramp, a scenic waterfall with another bridge, a mine shaft, a sawmill near a pretty lake, sniper towers, lots of stairs and plenty more!

Can't wait to see all the entries!
Best of luck to all involved!

Keep an eye out for my next map cp_pubcrawl!

- look into a tool called "pakrat"
it lets you add custom content (e.g. models, textures, etc) directly into your map's bsp file so that people don't need to download those files seperately.
otherwise everyone else will see the purple/black squares texture that gets used when that person doesn't have the textures available

Attention teams, you have nine hours remaining, nine hours remaining teams, thank you.

I ran through his map, everything was there.

 

[Sergis]

i still prefer to have singlefile maps over maps that put their files in a place where my hammer can access them

 

[henke37]

I finally managed to think up a new name. One issue less to worry about.

 

[Fruity Snacks]

Get 'em in!
