"Judging" is over

[Willox]

The results won't be out until Exploderguy's back online and each judge has sent their results to him which I suppose is going to be tomorrow.

-snip-
Ninja'd.

Did anyone record the judging? I missed almost all of it.

[BFG9000]

shit does anyone have a recording of the session? I just woke up.

[Breny]

Ragdoll Combat was pretty fun, even if I kept lunging myself off the platform.

[BFG9000]

never mind found it

[TheMrFailz]

Also, did the judging go out of order or something? It looked like the last one wasn't the last one on the playlist as far as I could tell from the stream.

[BFG9000]

shit wtf it just goes to the livestream

[The Commander]

Missed all this because I'm at work.
Damn it.

[BFG9000]

Currently watching my gm's stream. Stream is loading slow so I'm at the part where he's loading the next map and what not. So friggen excited. (God I hope it doesn't turn out to go badly. Otherwise I'm probably going to get depressed for like a week because all of this hype.)

Paintballz was one of the better ones

[QUOTE=Willox;48238844]Paintballz was one of the better ones[/QUOTE]

I mean, it worked, which is better than the first and third. You can say that!

[BFG9000]

I'm curious, if someone puts a mark against something the gamemode objectively has (such as the memeshit) does it count? Shotz decided not to rejoin and get the content until very late in the judging session for my gamemode and as a result he only saw postal's ass, melons, ellen pao, and shia labeouf, but not that cat.

I think the bonus marks are going to be handled separately. I didn't mark down any of them because it's easy enough to do it properly.

[TheMrFailz]

Silently freaking out rightnow because after shotz respawns his marker isn't refilling for some reason.

Edit: It fixed itself.

Well, from what I could see, it did not incorporate the theme at all except for a TF2 map, which shouldn't really count as incorporating cartoon if you ask me.

I didn't use the map as my cartoon bit, I intended the fact that you're shooting giant colorful balls at people which send them flying to be the cartoony bit. IRL you aren't going to be shooting soccerball sized paintballs nor is it going to send them flying.

edit: I chose the TF2 map simply because TF2's maps are fairly mirrored and as a result not too terribly one sided for a particular team. I would have made my own map but I didn't have time seeing as I only had 3 days + Wednesday to make the gamemode.

[BFG9000]

Also I noticed that health and armor pickups weren't working, but in every test I did in single player, listen, and dedicated it did. What happened?

wait when I tested the gamemode it just killed the people instantly... rather then send them flying..?

[TheMrFailz]

Ok, now that I've managed to get through the whole stream of my gamemode I'll just go ahead and answer all the questions I could remember relating to my gamemode:

(Note due to stream issues I was only able to while paused jump a few seconds at a time and read the chat.)

Q: "Does it fit the theme at ALL?"
A: Well technically speaking (although not intended), the map alone technically "incorporated" the cartoon theme, but as I said earlier I chose it for balance reasons not theme reasons and because I had no time to make my own map. My main thing was the giant balls, giant splatters, and outlandish death flings (If you get flung about irl while playing paintball, you have a problem.) but I see why you'd deduct points.

Q: "How do we get ammo?"
A: The paintball guns regenerate ammo but for some reason that seemed to be buggy. Worked fine in my testing though on a dedi/listen server.

Q: "Why do we have random colored paintballs?"
A: I'll be frank I don't know. I just thought that giving you a smorgasbord of colors would be visually interesting.

Q: "Why didn't you chose a color based team differentiation instead of the playermodel one (or something like that.)?"
A: My brother while play testing it did mention that to me but I couldn't think of any playermodels at the time that had a large enough color area to be worthwhile. I only noticed that the standard civilian model had a crapton of color to it after I got home from my trip (like, a day or two ago). As a result I just used whatever I figured was the biggest difference I could find was at the time which was combine vs. rebels.

Q: "Is this splatoon?"
A: No, and it wasn't influenced at all by it.

Other stuff that wasn't questions but I wanted to mention:

S: "I feel like this would get boring fast." / "(something about killstreaks and upgrades)"
R: In it's current state, yes, it would get boring as fuck very very fast. I was more preoccupied dealing with getting a playable gamemode running than longevity (upgrades, killstreaks, etc.) in my 3.5 days.

S: "Note that the gamemode didn't give any errors." / "It fully worked 100%." (Not exactly what they said but close enough)
R: Pleasantly surprised seeing as I didn't have a horribly large amount of resources for testing adaptation to different rigs/servers/etc.

[QUOTE=BigBadWilly;48239132]wait when I tested the gamemode it just killed the people instantly... rather then send them flying..?[/QUOTE]

Weird. In my testing it sent them flying. From what I saw in the stream it sent them flying too.

Hey, glad to see you evidently somewhat enjoyed my gamemode. I really wish I could have played on the judging server, it was just really early and my sleep schedule is already super fucked up. Just a few things I want to say:

- Holy fuck, a Facepunch employee and the one true god of Gmod both played my gamemode. Awesome!
- I'm really impressed you managed to host it with this many people. It runs well on my VPS, but only up to about 10 people.
- No, my gamemode is not a remake, it was inspired by the old drunk combine / fighting ragdoll E2s. I called it "Ragdoll Combat II" because reasons. If there was ever a "Ragdoll Combat I", it would be [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbjR4-cpq8M"]this event from a server I used to play on[/URL], which was my main inspiration.
- The game was supposed to end when someone got 5 wins. I pretty quickly figured out this was too much and reduced it to 3 after the fact. I'm really sad that you didn't get to experience triple bonus round, which activates after someone wins a complete cycle.
- "What the fuck is this guy, he's got a melon in his dick!" -- The melon was supposed to be attached to his head. I made some pretty major changes to fix fuckery right before submitting and the melon became attached to his dick. :v:
- Really sad Niandra wasn't able to judge. The "Mr. Crittersworth" character was obviously made to appeal to her.
- If anyone's interested in continued development of the gamemode, you can swing by my thread [URL="http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1476465"]here[/URL].

[NiandraLades]

Yeah, I'm sorry too, since it sounded like everyone's been having a lot of fun so far

While I'm kinda sad we had so many drop-outs, I really appreciate the effort on both the contestants and judges

I would still love to see Mr. Crittersworth though

I judged in your place and I mostly played as Mr. Crittersworth in your honor.

[QUOTE=MadParakeet;48240069]"What the fuck is this guy, he's got a melon in his dick!"[/QUOTE]

Sounds like my professional judging all right.

[BFG9000]

So when should we expect to see the compiled ratings? I'm so hyped :FSJAL:
