[Competition] Cpt.Hubba's 256 x 256 x 256 box challenge!

[Cpt.Hubba]

I'm still here, I don't know how that was a meme response, but ok. I have told you how it's going to be scored like 2 times now. Eye-candiness, creativity. I guess if you want to be specific a 1/10 scale.

So absolutely NO custom content? If so, what about a color correction file?

Here is my Wip

(need some custom icicles)

I'd consider cc to be custom content, since you have to pack it. Although it does make sense for it to be allowed.

I get you were trying to do the whole stalagmite stalactite thing but those just look like giant death spikes

redoing with displacements, should look better... I wish we could use custom materials and models...

[Grenade Man]

Also, I should mention you should compile my map without vis or func detail everything except the outer brushes.

[QUOTE=Grenade Man;37642661]Also, I should mention you should compile my map without vis or func detail everything except the outer brushes.[/QUOTE]

I believe the command was -alldetail in vbsp, and then you make a func_brush with the name structure_seal

I decided to make a maze for my entry sadly I can't take any pics without spoiling it. Unless you don't mind looking at pictures of hedges.

I never said CC wasn't allowed. You can use anything in Source readily available to you.

I could have decompiled, but thanks man. By the way. Are you the Flap.Jack who made the garrysmod hacks? Just curious.

decompiling messes up brushwork.

Does it? Never had that problem when decompiling things.

You don't know [B]BAD[/B] until you have tried to decompile a goldsrc map :v: The only decent one, literally "carves" the map out.

2. Default textures and props (no custom textures)
[/QUOTE]

I'd assume color correction would be allowed then seeing as it isn't a prop or texture. I'll probably join in due to the smallness of this project. That's why I never map. I want to make huge maps, but lack the skill to do it. I only ever released one map and it was below mediocre. Hopefully all the reading I've done since my last attempt will improve my mapping skill. Well, here goes nothing!

[salmonmarine]

Joining.

[editline]14th September 2012[/editline]

May I use a custom sound? I know you said no custom textures or props, but I can pakrat the sound into the BSP so that it downloads automatically.

[matt000024]

I also intended on using one also seeing as it never said one couldn't.

[Stiffy360]

I hope you decrease the deadline. October 1st is waaay to long of a time to make such a small map.

Make it like the 20th or the 24th to allow at least some time for procrastinators.

Hey, thanks for posting! I don't know why people would be confused. The rules are pretty clear to what I want and what I don't want. People keep asking if they can do things if they arn't in the rules and it's fine. The rules are there for a reason. I didn't forget to add anything. If you want to use a 3D Skybox, you can. All I said about pics was post your progress here, but you don't have to. When you are finished you can just send me the .bsp AND the .vmf. Hope this clears up everything people have been having trouble understanding. Also, the post says it's a competition for a $5 or under game on Steam to whoever wins.

Not snowy, and I'm already using displacement stalactites and stalagmites now.

Now that looks MUCH better. Nice job.

So I wanted to take the atmosphere from this this.

And mix it with another entry in a totally different contest.

So I made this.

I turned sun spread angles on for first compile and then it wouldn't turn off for some reason and I'm too lazy to fix it, looks bad enough anyways.

That doesn't look like 512^3. But it's looking cool. 3D skybox?

[Stiffy360]

In the OP it says it has to be creative and awesome (whatever that means)

Who will be judging?
Is it a poll?
