This is the last week for this compo. If I cant fix the errors I'm getting with Hammer (related to the configuration, not the actual map) it will mean I wont be able to participate in this one. And my idea was so cool...

If I fix my hammer configuration problem and the deadline is extended, you might get an entry from me. The theme isnt really that hard. But Xen involves a lot of ugly textures and intensive vertex manipulation. That's what makes it unattractive for some. Well, at least we can say that twhl has hosted a xen compo.

I spend 5 hours yesterday on my freakin crapy entity setup for my transportation system. That stupid trigger_teleport gave me a headach. Im still not satisfied with it, but im not going to change anything, im going to finish this map tonight.
Map map is freakin complicated. About 80% of the map's brushwork are vertex manipulated triangles. A real pain in the butt.
Aw well. I hope my maps matches the compi requirements.

Well my map isn't too complicated in brushwork, but it does have a quite complex entity setup and i'm still not done, coz it requires lots of testing b4 it can be posted. I better not post it at all instead of posting an unfinished project.. :

A "very good" entry has a higher chance of winning than two "good" entries. If I was him, I'd work on making the map better (minimod, custom stuff etc)

I think that making two entries would be a good choice in competitions like "Real World" or "Map something unique". This one is specifically about Xen transportation, so if I had more ideas after finishing the map, I would add them to my entry to improve it. Like SeventhMonkey said, judges wont have in mind one of your entries while judging the other. Their effects won't add up.

Well I already submitted it so I can't add to it now! Ah well... don't think it would have fit with the theme anyway! Just going to submit 2 and hope for the best
