I want to share progress reports on my entry but i want it to be a surprise... anyone else care to share? = >
I will say though I'm about 50% done, and If I have time at the end I'd like to add some models and better textures. = )

An extension would certainly suit me well.
I have loads of tests comming up and I need to study

you shouldn't even be considering a time extension at the moment guys. There's plenty of time left, and any talk of an extension at this point is only going to make you more comfortable, and therefor work slower.

I don't understand that philosphy.
I'd rather work slow, than fast, so? :S
But Im not entering anymore anyways, I just like to argue.

Brushwork is almost done. I then need to create the custom textures. I'm going to use filters on the original Half-life textures so that technically i created them. Then texture the map, light it and create a few models. I hope i finish in time, I've been working a lot lately. :rly:

Can't wait to see what people do. I hope some people do a rts liek command and conquer, or even a dos game like monkey island would be amazingly lol.
I don't play rpgs, but i'm sure that would be cool.
Doing another fps for the compo is fine, but it's got to be a little harder cuz you don't have the added gimick of changing the style of gameplay i.e. 2d-side scroller ==> fps.

Could make the library look a little more library-ish. Even though it was just a bunch of sequential killboxes in the original, it didn't look like some futuristic building.

Post #247936
I must point out that you don't have to make the exact same map - i.e. you can change the texturing, you can change the models (anything to get out of making custom content, if you are unable) - as long as the map represents the map in the screenshots you provide.I was just trying to give it a different coat of paint pretty much, some eye candy with non-existent prop models, stuff the original lacked. all the screenshots are dark, needs some sexy lighting.... I don't know what I was thinking with the lighting. the futuristic theme is staying though, because it's pimp.

ok...about my last post sorry again for ot reading but i don't have any source engine games. maybe i'll just forfeit the contest. i'll just wait for the next competition......HLGenius out....

HL genius, you could make a map that has nothing to do with source or gldsource, I was gonna make Postal 2 until I dropped out.

Kinda late but I got a pretty good idea so I may just enter for good old gold. Wanted to with source but way to unfamiliar with anything yet. If I do I will have to map constantly because of college and work.

Dropping my idea. Source hurts the brain. Might pick up the old GoldSource Hammer later and see if I can get anything.

anywhere to submit an entry? I tried on the contest page - and got this error
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting '(' in /usr/www/users/tlove/twhl/compaddentry.php on line 22
tried to submit both a link to the map and the map itself, seperately. neither one worked

ok file upload works, and you have confirmation when you submit. your entry went through fine though, so you don't need to resubmit.

Ok im entering for sure now. Ill have to map straight the next few days. My map will become very complex thow so I am not sure if I will be able to make the entire area I chose. If it is way too complex, will it be ok if it is just a part of a game for example a vehicle obviously from the game?

question: can the map we enter for the contest be released on the web before the contest is judged, or do we got to wait til after judging to make the map available to everyone online?

you can release it online, but then people will know what you entered ;o

umm...my ""marble arena"" remake map screwed up and the map looks that there is no chance of winning. 
So, maybe i'll just make a Halo:combat evolved map because i can't find an other idea for an entry and i have only a few days left before the competition closes. I have NO other choice
question for the moderators: Will you guys allow me to make a remake of a HALO map for an entry fothe competition?? Will I have a lesser chance of winning if I make this map because probably some moderators don't like it (i thought of that because majority of the members don't like HALO)??? please do give a reply immeadiatley to this post because i lack time already.

I only started 2 1/2 days ago and already put around 15 hours into it. Right now and tomorrow I have to go to work for nine hours so im not going to get in much this weekend but ill finish. That is by not doing any homework!

HLgenius, Penguinboy told me that the judge's opinions of the games have no effect on the quality of the mapping at all. You won't get looked down on for picking a game some people here aren't fond of. That would be UNFAIR!
Posted 16 years ago2008-03-28 19:36:25 UTC
Post #248111
Strictly speaking, I'll be looking at originality of choice as well. It won't be a mitigating factor, but it'll be something that I'll commend. Anything that bucks the Source trend would be jim dandy, particularly anyone who happens to make maps of some of my highly rated games. ;>
