TF2Maps Presents: The Summer 2016 72hr TF2Jam!

[Skittelz]

We got featured on the official TF2 website!

Yay Valve.

 

[Crowbar]

This site has been featured there quite a few times. Don't see here anything exciting, the jam is an event vide enough for Valve to spot.

 

[Danny Dongvito (G.E.W.P)]

This will be my first time entering, so I am very excited for this!

Hi, I do a lot of 3D modelling in my free time, though I can't exactly work out the process of getting it in TF2. If there are perhaps a TF2 mapper that can convert models created in Maya into map props then I'll be more then happy to create content for anyone's maps. Otherwise you can probably count me out because I'm not sure what else I can do within 72hrs.

Sure, it's 3DSmax but things should work out similarly with Maya.

 

[Exactol]

Unless you have Maya 2012 or lower, there is no direct export plugins (as far as I know). What I do is export to obj, import that into blender, and export it from there with https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Blender_Source_Tools

The banner looks h0t.

Will the jimijammer medal

be awarded retroactively to people who've taken part in past events or only from this one going forwards?

 

[Vel0city]

We need in-game medals, kinda like what Valve did with this Workshop Wonderland.

 

[YM]

@Vel0city psssst, the mappers medallion already exists

 

[Corvatile]

Yeh but none of us have those.

 

[Fruity Snacks]

If someone makes a medal, I will forward it to Valve.

 

[Jethro]

Y'could leverage the whole clock-timer thing for it, and have one of those... roller-timer-things attached to the bottom of the medal. Y'know, the countdown clock. Maybe have the medal be stopwatch-shaped?

I may or may not have thought about the design for a 72-hr-contest-medal before now.

 

[dryerlint]

An all-class hard hat would be a cool item to give out to mappers and content creators

 

[Diva Dan]

It should definitely be a cosmetic That gives each mercenary bloodshot eyes and coffee stained beard scruff.

It's a bit fuzzy who actually entered last year, since lots of people had half-completed things that weren't in the submission thread. That's why we're having the submission subforum this time - if you're in there, you're in. if not, you're not.

Applying it retroactively would take a big load of time - I'll see what I can do though.

 

[zahndah]

Maybe the medal just being for entering makes it pretty meaningless, i'd say possibly make it for getting in the showcase.

 

[LeSwordfish]

I disagree - the showcase was always a fairly casual way of rewarding people, and attaching even a small reward to it means I have to do all sorts of boring things like take it seriously.

 

[zahndah]

oh yeah, fair enough forgot about not making it a contest.

 

[Vincent]

Love this event. Not sure if I want to do something new or possibly try a steel Japan again.
