New Competition 34 maybe Created 10 years ago2014-08-05 17:30:57 UTC by Trempler

What do you guys would think about another good old Half-Life 1 Competition

My Idea was a Mapcontest like this:

Old School Mapping Competition for Half-Life 1

Goal:
create a creative and well detailed and balanced Half-Life 1 deathmatch map.

Rules:
Check your Wpoly, 2500 wpolys are max.
~its okay if its higher in a corner you cant reach normally
Only use the Half-Life 1 Wadfile
~zhlt/vhlt/xeno/halflife/decals/liquids
No custom models/sounds/wads/sprites/skys

Prices:
1. Place: 20 euro Game @ Steam
2. Place: 10 euro Game @ Steam
3. Place: 5 euro Game @ Steam

***
I had the idea about 2 votings, first 2-3 people vote what they think about the mapdesigns. Also the Community can vote and give points to a map.
So we could share the winpot. you can have 20 euro if you get max points on both sides. Or 15 euro when you are voted 3rd place by the community and 1st place by the admins.

Also i think how to get a bigger pricepool, how about a competition where everyone who joins pays 5 euro and than we split it up like in poker

So guys plz write down and give feedback what you think about this. Thanks.

Paying to enter makes it seem like this is a pro competition imo, not all of us are on the same level. Also atleast for me a competition should have some constraints to it (map from a layout, remake a game etc...) i have nothing against it, but it looks to me like just pickup hammer and make a map compo.

the constraints i want to add are make it unique
use the textures in a way you rare or never saw
could be fun

Twhl just hosted a mini competition with vanilla textures, I doubt you'd get any one's attention with this again.

Also, another competition is going on right now so I would wait until the current one is over especially since it has so much interest.

Besides all that i'd be willing to make a death match map but definitely not with vanilla textures. I'm no texture guru but it's pretty easy to pick up basic photo shop and use images from the web. Half life vanilla textures huts muh eyez!

I like the idea of paying and money prizes, sounds like a fun idea to add.

Fixed OP. Avoid special characters like units of currency until pengy has the time to sort out the posting bug.

2500 wpolys seems ridiculously low to me, so I'm gonna stay out of this one

Tremplar, the way you map it seems like you're just trying to pull money from us

lol haha, fear me for a reason than ;D
