TF2Maps Presents: The Summer 2017 72 Hour TF2 Jam!

[Viemärirotta]

I can't wait to start making a maze like arena map... could I start sketching the layout on paper?

Same like last year, you can plan beforehand.

 

[pi-ka]

Same like last year, you can plan beforehand.

okay, thanks, but this is the first time I'm entering, I've only been mapping for about a week.

 

[DarreMo]

Looking forward to making my first map in this event.

*questions sanity already*

Edit: I have an idea for the layout already, can someone give me a theme?

 

[Void]

Welp, it looks like it's time for some SFM practicing before the jam so i can create the best (i can do) artwork, an i'm really excited for this years event (and hopefully not be last) tf2 jam i will (try to) join.

And If nothing suprising happens and makes me unable to attend, i should be ready and happy, Good luck to everyone attending

EDIT: By using my greatest (worst) skills in time converter, it looks like i will have to start (3pm GMT august 4th 2017) and end (3pm GMT august 7th 2017) so i would start at 6pm finland time and end in 6pm finland time.

Ps. Void, you can double check this if you want to make sure i'm in right time (my time is EEST Helsinki finland) (i have never used time converter before)

That should be fine, I'll put you down for that time. Happy Jamming!

How do I enter the normal jam? Do I just say "I'd like to do X"?

If that's the case, then I'll be making a gigantic MVM template library for a lot of non-standard bot designs, like the Direct Hit,Vaccinator, ect that people like using but allways have to steal sombody else's or build thier own from scratch...

All you need to do to enter is submit your entry to the 72hr category of the Downloads section in one way or another. Be sure you abide to the time limit unless otherwise scheduled.

okay, thanks, but this is the first time I'm entering, I've only been mapping for about a week.

You can sketch a layout ahead of time and it'll be fine. Hold any actual brushwork until the Jam, though. You can try things out in Hammer, but you'll need to remake what you do when the Jam starts so as not to have a head start.

Just out of curiosity, what's the official Twitter hashtag for the Jam? #tf2jam or . . . other?

Please hold off on donations. We have a specific page set up for our drive that will go live with the Jam.

I believe #tf2jam is correct.

Hey I know it's a little late, but is it all goods if I start and finish this 24 hours early?
