For the record, everyone below the level of mod, is a peon. Get used to it.
So i'm just an asswipe then? :sarcastic:
All I am saying is, the time for debate was before the comp was announced. Anyone whom disagrees with the result should have discussed it beforehand.
Not exactly possible when we don't know exactly what the compo will be about until after it is posted. But oh well, have your say.

Oh boy. It's times like this that i'm thankful TWHL is in the hands of people who aren't senile and don't like to barge in with superior attitudes. The only thing i could have and did learned tonight is that you have a strange habbit of confusing wisdom with stupidity.
Since I have enough worries with my own competitions, I have zero time to waste on you, or your issues.
Thank you, so very much, stay out of them in the future.

orpheus: you just wasted quite a bit of time on useless stupidity and insults. ...sure sounds like 'zero time' to me.

yet again your useless attempts at trying to sound superior have landed you in a pit of stupidity.

I'm not sure what to make for this compo. Some kind of device with water? or an architectural map with water? The guy with the l33t water effect skills will most likely win so I dont even have to bother to enter and lose. And I think 44-45 days is too much for a compo.

Somehow i think the latter, but if i do then that would make me a genious since i figured out the right thing, wich at the same time means in not, its kinda a vicious cirkel, and whenever you follow it then you will see it.

@Tetsu0: I'll send you a gmail invite if you want. You get 100mb of hassle-free web hosting with a gmail account--god that sounds like a commercial! :P PM if interested.

I think it's a neat idea, and challenging, if for no other reason than water can be kinda buggy. (I'm guessing keeping your water to simple shapes helps with this?) If anyone who's had a lot of experience with the woes of water, please submit a mini guideline in mapping tips or something to help us water nubs! :P

My only complaint would be is the inordinately long time span. I people actually utilized all that time it'd be one thing, but I think most people just spend more time procrastinating with longer time allotments :

Anyway, I'm In! :)

Water also works upside down, since the flat plane limitation doesn't say wether it's normal or upside down.

Pst Assign a water block with a solid inside to a physics box then in-game jump inside and gravity gun it and you can fly while inside the water. Not that I was gonna use that idea...

afaik only if you have custom content besides wadicluded custom textures. In other words if you have custom sound/sky/models/sprites you have to have it in minimod format.

I've already started, I am making mine as a fully playable level with monsters and a LOT of water. Mind you, in this map you will want to keep out of the water as much as possible! By the way, can I split my map into two separate maps joined with a changelevel trigger or do I have to squish it into one bsp?

For one reason, nobody wants nonstandard sounds/models/sprites in your own folders, or at least you shouldn't.

This way, when you release your own work, you don't have to worry about inadvertedly including nonstandard content with your map. ;)

Putting it in minimod format isn't hard, and it gives you the opportunity to include a custom splash, which is always nice! :)
