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

[QUOTE=Stiffy360;37794587]My partner and I have an ambitious idea, that if comes together will blow everyone away. I just hope we can get it done in time >.> Best of luck to the rest of you guys. You don't need to quote the whole post silly.[/QUOTE] Sorry. It's a habit.

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

I've got a quick question, too: Are we allowed to use content from other source games? Like from L4D 1&2, all the Half Life Episodes and maybe Counter Strike? Do these count as "custom" content? Sorry if the question has already been asked. Also, are we allowed to present the map as a mod? 'Cause I'd like to use the Menu Background as a part of the storytelling.

[QUOTE=Ray551;37795202] Also, are we allowed to present the map as a mod? 'Cause I'd like to use the Menu Background as a part of the storytelling.[/QUOTE] "as long as the mod is free" V:v:V

So. I was thinking that me and 1996Langley want to use some custom content. Which would require us to create a Source mod. If we do that how would we get it to the judges? Just PM with the a MediaFire link or something?

[QUOTE=Stiffy360;37796719]You only have 2 months to do this :V so good luck with that.[/QUOTE] Well, It doesn't take too long to whip up a quick source mod and use custom sounds, materials etc. I think we should be able to manage. :smile:

'Cause I'd like to use the Menu Background as a part of the storytelling.[/QUOTE] Yes, you can present the map in a mod format, just remember we are only judging the map, so anything like a fancy menu, and stuff, will not be counted. Nothing Valve counts as custom content, so feel free to use all of that, no CS:Go though. When I say mods, I mean stuff created outside of valve, in order to use that stuff, you must have the okay from the author, and I must be able to download the mod, without paying for it.

I'll enter, alone. Nothing to lose, right?

[QUOTE=ExplosiveCheese;37800719]Wait, correct me if I'm wrong, why not just use pakrat for all the custom stuff? :v:[/QUOTE] I was wondering this as well. I will make a request, that only create a new mod if necessary, try pak-ratting or the other one first and see if that gets the job done. Custom mods is a lot for the judges to download. Like using two maps, try to only make a custom mod if it's completely necessary.

My god... I completely forgot about Pakrat... It's been on my computer for ages. Just really feel like hitting myself now. -_-

I would recommend using [url=http://technofovea.com/blog/projects/packbsp]PackBSP[/url], it's newer(last version in 2011)

[QUOTE=Terrenteller;37803207][url=http://www.riintouge.com/VIDE/]VIDE[/url] (January 9, 2012)[/QUOTE] Ya, that's the one! I've been looking for that for ages.

[QUOTE=9Clockwork;37799321]I'll enter, alone. Nothing to lose, right?[/QUOTE] i'll buy you aquaria fish and then come back 3 weeks later and flush them down your toilet if you lose.

Snippity snap that.

I'm going to try to make one along with all of you, but I'm not going to submit it for judging. Just for fun. :smile:

You know what, i'll enter. See what I can do in a month.

I literally started using Hammer yesterday. But the time i spent with it, i learned quite a few things. How to make Fake DMM etc. I'm in. Though, i tend to forget that i signed into these kinds of things.:v:

i wanna judge

[QUOTE=TCB;37823432]i wanna judge[/QUOTE] Sorry, at the moment I think we are good on judges. Put if we get more people signing up, then you will be on my list to consider. If you are serious about judging then please PM some examples of your mapping.

Where the fuck is gamedev? No seriously, Where is he.

[QUOTE=Eyefunk;37823409]Yeah... I wouldn't use 3kilk's method of fake DMM on your maps.[/QUOTE] I disagree, I think his fake DMM is a good way of doing exactly that.

[QUOTE=marcosppp;37824497]Where the fuck is gamedev? No seriously, Where is he.[/QUOTE] Waiting for Jorpakko to compile.

Here is how I predict this contest will go. 50% bomb and drop out 10% never finish 20% procrastinate and upload a shoddily done map 15% Turn it in late 5% Actually complete and do a nice job
