[Kill_the_Bug]

Yep looks like I'm gonna be in for it - but It may be less than 72 for me

Live stream will be here when working on it

Sorry if this is a bit of an incompetent question, but how exactly would I go about testing my map in an impromptu during the 72 hrs? This will be my first time participating if that's not evident.

Impromptus are all organized on the fly in the steam group chat, and there will be many more of them than usual to cover everyone's testing needs during the contest. Come hang out in the chat and put your map forward when an imp pops up. It'll also be a great place to get quick answers!

My laptops DCin port broke and the repairs are taking longer than I thought, so I am not able to attend the LAN, nor take part in the contest, boo :<

Holy shit. You're alive! \o/

 

[Kill_the_Bug]

should we put all the broadcast items for the people who are streaming onto the main page?

Ahhh I've recently had TF2 mapping nostalgia and this looks fun.. but I wonder if I even remember how to use Source SDK lol. I'll give it a shot.

Damn... I really wanted to participate in this but I have a thesis to write. When's the next 72 hour contest?

 

[Unh3lpful]

This contest starts in just two days! The next contest hasn't been scheduled, but you can probably expect it in January.

1 characters.

 

[Moonrat]

Welp, I think I have easily made the strongest layout for any of my maps ever. I can't wait to put it in Hammer to see how it works!

Let's just hope reality is nicer than I think.

 

[imperialist]

I think I'll give this a go as well. I have played around in hammer before but I've never tried to make a full map - this seems like the perfect time to do so!

 

[biskuu]

I'll do my best, although I have stuff to do in these 3 days, I hope I can have a working map by the end of the contest!

 

[BrokenTripod]

Question: If I have a custom gamemode and have used it in a previous map, am I allowed to copy/paste the entities out of the old map or do I have to remake the setup?

Weird question.

 

[Idolon]

Feel free to salvage old entity work.

 

[Crash]

You can set up your map logic ahead of time.

 

[Coolz]

You know what, I wasn't going to compete in this at first, but what the heck, I'll try and make something good.

This means I have five hours to come up with a layout.

The pressure is on - have to make a map, buy a car, lawn bowl, prep for vacation next week.

 

[gvarados]

It's okay, I've got Mountain Dew this time.
I'll probably stream at http://www.twitch.tv/gvarados

 

[Bull]

Whoah how did I miss this? I'm in! Got nothing to do this weekend so I might as well take a shot at this contest. Last one was a lot of fun. I'll be streaming again over at my Twitch!
