Most of my past challenges/contests have failed due to the sole fact that they must have been too complex, so maybe some easier, faster, more simple contests are in order.
So, here's the first weekly challenge, and in light of the holiday season, it'll be based on snow.
[B][U]Criteria[/U][/B]
In this contest, you can build any motorized vehicle that operates in only snowy conditions, such as SnowCats, Snowmobiles, whatever you can find. Just make sure it is made for snow terrain:

There's some ideas of things.
[B][U]Restrictions[/U][/B]
None really, there is no challenge except build the best looking and functioning vehicle. You can power them and maneuver them in any way, but remember the scoring criteria. The top 3 that score the highest in the scoring criteria will have their vehicles tested by the judges, and whoever has the funnest vehicle of the 3, wins. You can only enter 1 vehicle.
[B][U]Scoring Criteria[/U][/B]
Originality (this also includes how good it looks)
Function/realism
Use of props
As usual, 2 other judges besides myself will be chosen.
It's currently Friday, Christmas Day in USA, so you've got until Sunday next weekend to post. More than a week, but you've got 2 weekends to work if your week is slogged.

I thought no one could see the particles but the one who made them.
I tried it out on the public ggg server but no one could see them but me.
Thank you for making this now I won't be bored at my grandparents lol

By the way, Could you pm me the link for the acf2 clientside files?
I installed a particle maker but I couldn't change the particle material at all and it was always pink and black squares :|

or they were trolling you.

To SAXSERVERS OR THE BERGEN BUILD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ya this could be fun! But, when you mentioned snow adaption all I could think about was another random tank lol. I guess I could build one of those Strv 206 or something. Swetanks ftw.

That doesn't want to let me join right now :(
Anyways, about the contest. Will a thruster powered vehicle get less points than a wheel powered one?

I'd say: Get rid of the damn ropes and parent some detail onto the tracks.
But it looks good.
Oh, I should have added, only enter 1.

I'll probably make a Hummer H1 snow version this night
EDIT : Finally, no
Going into Gmod now, I'm probably going to make a snowmobile to start out with.
EDIT: dammit, Gmod crashed before I could take any screenshots :bahgawd:
EDIT (again): Yay, made a new one:

Plate that's ballsocketed to the body for steering:

Unfortunately, it needs thrusters to get any real speed. The tread system I used is slow as shit.
Might work on some sort of treaded vehicle next.
count me in
I might make a snow vehicle for this.
I might make a beach buggy for this.
