Single Player Mapping Competition (Prizes, Fun, and Other Things!) - Developers

Don't forget to post pictures on your progress!

[QUOTE=9Clockwork;37789655]Haven't started yet. Agh[/QUOTE] I have things restraining me from touching hammer as well, but I have some more ideas racked up and ready to go. [QUOTE=quacles;37789673]Don't forget to post pictures on your progress![/QUOTE] I was just about to ask about this.

[QUOTE=quacles;37789673]Don't forget to post pictures on your progress![/QUOTE] But couldn't other competitors steal ideas? (Possibly.)

[QUOTE=9Clockwork;37789686]But couldn't other competitors steal ideas? (Possibly.)[/QUOTE] I guess it could give other competitors a chance to improve their maps if they feel like other WIPs are better than what they have.

[QUOTE=9Clockwork;37789686]But couldn't other competitors steal ideas? (Possibly.)[/QUOTE] That would be silly, why would you steal an idea that was posted in a thread. I will make note of certain details, but this isn't the patent system, I expect that some parts of some maps might be a bit a like. Just don't steal ideas, I will know, and so will everyone else.

[QUOTE=CordlessElm;37789729]I guess it could give other competitors a chance to improve their maps if they feel like other WIPs are better than what they have.[/QUOTE] That's true. I guess I'm just paranoid. [editline]24th September 2012[/editline] When does this competition end?

Can I make maps for BMS ? If yes, count me in.

Mind if we keep our map a secret? It will be much more effective doing it that way for us :P

[QUOTE=9Clockwork;37789764]That's true. I guess I'm just paranoid. [editline]24th September 2012[/editline] When does this competition end?[/QUOTE] The OP says "November 30'th"

[QUOTE=Stiffy360;37789825]Mind if we keep our map a secret? It will be much more effective doing it that way for us :P[/QUOTE] Sure, but my curiosity is sometimes over whelming, and I might not be able to resist the urge to pm you for a "sneak peak."

I'll be entering this. with HoliestCow.

Hammer crashed. Autosaved more than 10 minutes ago. HEED MY MISTAKE FELLOW MAPPERS!

[QUOTE=relinquish;37789815]Can I make maps for BMS ? If yes, count me in.[/QUOTE] As far as I know you can, but you might want to do some research with the BMS team first, I don't know if they like people using their content, but I can't remember. But I am fine with anything on the source engine, as long as you have approval from the author of the content.

[QUOTE=BMS Team]The mod's been released with a Creative Commons license that allows you to use our content on the condition that you credit its creators (so that'd be us, the Black Mesa development team) and don't try to sell it or profit from it.[/QUOTE] Oh well, I guess I have to change my map's theme then. =\

so a quick question, is it possible to win in several categories? or only one win is allowed?

[QUOTE=azgag;37790386]so a quick question, is it possible to win in several categories? or only one win is allowed?[/QUOTE] What kind of categories?

[QUOTE=azgag;37790386]so a quick question, is it possible to win in several categories? or only one win is allowed?[/QUOTE] Only at the end. The first stage will be finding one map to fit each category. The 2nd stage will be finding which map of those three maps fits into all three categories, which will be done by the community.

Count me in. [editline]24th September 2012[/editline] Btw, how will we be sending in our maps?

[QUOTE=Yikitama;37791347]Count me in. [editline]24th September 2012[/editline] Btw, how will we be sending in our maps?[/QUOTE] Not sure yet, most likely I will have you pm them to me, but I might come up with a different idea.

[QUOTE=quacles;37791430]Not sure yet, most likely I will have you pm them to me, but I might come up with a different idea.[/QUOTE] Okay, make sure to post it when you know.

[QUOTE=Yikitama;37791446]Okay, make sure to post it when you know.[/QUOTE] No, I will keep it a secret, and never tell anyone! Then when the contest is over, no one will know how to submit there maps, and everyone will loose!

[QUOTE=quacles;37791578]No, I will keep it a secret, and never tell anyone! Then when the contest is over, no one will know how to submit there maps, and everyone will loose![/QUOTE] THE PERFECT PLAN!

[QUOTE=quacles;37791578]No, I will keep it a secret, and never tell anyone! Then when the contest is over, no one will know how to submit there maps, and everyone will loose![/QUOTE] You know what i meant, :zoid:

Just updated the OP with an awesome banner by the Good Doc [editline]24th September 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Yikitama;37791716]You know what i meant, :zoid:[/QUOTE] ;) Rules now in full color!

I'm really encouraging all of you who are contending to plan out your time to finish your maps. Last time we did a contest like this, a few people released their half-finished maps and the whole competition was a drag. This time, the people who are contending should really try to put out their best work, while simultaneously creating a friendly competitive environment. I hope the best for the contenders, good luck! I'm also willing to throw in a Deus Ex Ultimate Pack (Includes every Deus Ex game) for the first place winner.

[QUOTE=azgag;37789876]I'll be entering this. with HoliestCow.[/QUOTE] I can't wait to see what you come up with.

My mapping skills are a bit rusty, but count me in!

I would like to enter! Thank you and good luck everyone!

I just hope we can get it done in time >.> Best of luck to the rest of you guys. [QUOTE=Cpt.Hubba;37794470]I would like to enter!

I would like to enter, too. Have fun everyone!
