All competitions get an official discussion thread. Here's the one for Kasperg's Source "Transport Hub", closing in early 2006. Enquire away.

I don't think i'm going to enter because I don't like the subject and I think it's to time-wasting seeing I won't win any awards..
Question : What's the exact meaning of "hub" ?

If every body had that attitude then no one would enter.

Ah joy, this is a compo I think I can actually win 
I managed to plan a layout (which is a first ;))
I have a story written out, many custom sounds..and a song.
I'm not sure whether my idea fits the criteria of being a HUB, it is based in a Combine citadel type place with 'things' being moved around like a cargo bay.
It will involve a ride on something and an ending boss + two puzzles.
Goodluck everyone else and Madcow, prepared to be pwned!

A boss? You know that it's prohibited to have any custom code, don't you?

As the rules say, you can make this map based in architecture, blending with terrain, etc. It's actually a very open theme. Just follow the rules and good luck!

Isn't that cheating though
Otherwise i'd get a whole team to make me textures, models, sounds etc

no, its more of a 'joint-effort' on one hand, you may have better chances of winning. On the other, half of you glory (or more) will not be yours..

This theme really reminds me of xen transportationEr, actually no... Read carefully.
You are not required to build a working transport method to be used by the playerRemember that there must be some outside area. The most important thing is the idea of the Hub, not making a ride.
@Habboi: read the rules again and dont forget about some of them!

This theme really reminds me of xen transportation...Bullcrap. It's a totally different theme. The only link between the compos is that they both have transportation as a requirement.

What!? I thought Kasperg said it was decided he was going to do a map from base competition! Why has it changed, lots of people including me were looking forward to it..
edit
Oh wait, its the Source compo, well, if you ask me, it should be 'Compo 1' because its for source, not hl1

Interesting subject, actually... reminded me of some older games I played years ago when I read 'transport hub'. Hmm...

Elon, for a starter try to create good going sentences, stop the horrible smiley abusing, and stop thinking the world revolts around you, because its not.

I wouldnt see the purpose of making another page for the Source competitions. It seems logical that they be inserted into the same list. After all, it's all about Hammer, brushes and entities.
EDIT: About the competition name, I was inspired by an intergallactic tunnel in "Star Trek VOYAGER" that was named Transwarp Hub. Borg ships used it to connect with places around the galaxy at trans-warp speed. (yes, that's more than lightspeed, hyperspace travel, warpdrive etc)

Kasperg is that a hint? I hope not otherwise my idea is wasted.

Post #149094
I think that is just where he got the Idea for a transport Hub Compo From Habboi, so no need to worry
Posted 18 years ago2005-11-25 19:02:52 UTC
Post #149101
To worry about what? Oh, ok kasperg. I ment no offence I just said it reminded me of my compotition. Even if it was inspiered who cares.
Edit:
Ignore this post, pepper just expleined me why what I did was stupid.

@Habboi: Dont worry, it's just a hint. I'm sure that anything you come up with can be of use, since the theme is actually very open.
@Elon: no problem.

I can't even make a 3d skybox, well, I made a few, but they were o so ugly..
But mostly I just don't like the subject..

Post #149257
That it will be even better if you'll enter. You'll have a perfect chance to practice 3D skyboxes.
Compotition aren't only about winning. They are more about practicing and gaining that power to finish maps or mods in time or at all, well atlist they are for me.

Yeah I must admit, I am determined to finish this map, compo's really help boraden the mind, i'm coming up with ideas I never normally would think of, mainly because i'm trying to impress the judges...
So FresheD I would consider joining, even if you make a not so good map, I learnt a few new things already like scripting, damn it's still hard but i'm getting better, cameras are tricky but i'm starting to get the hang of them.

Hooray for discussion!
Feel free to post screenies. I'm interested to see if the entries for this competition are up to the same (very high) standards of the previous one.

is the next HL1 compo going to be after this source one is over, or is twhl going to have two compos running at the same time,. I think the compo's would be popular if a new compo was released while the last one is being judged. judging takes too long >_<

The competitions won't run simultaneously, and, with the present code, I won't start new competitions before the results of the previous ones are posted.

Why would he? Even if he submits what he has done so far, he'll probably end up having a trophy...
Posted 18 years ago2006-01-04 13:38:53 UTC
Post #156161
Because what I made so far is the intro level with the escaping and the fighting and the elevator...I then had the second level to be the HUB area which I have not made so in other words I can't even submit it because it has nothing to do with a HUB yet...
I'll finish it another time...Schools taking over again anyway.

If this competition is even less succesful than the one of Dr. Breen's house, I will quit deciding compo themes. And maybe that way I can enter a competition even if I actually win the one before it...

o;
Not a very popular compo you've got going here.
I think next compo should be map from base + deathmatch compo again, but not a map from layout compo... something else.
It seems to prospect of making a WHOLE single player map is too much, nowadays. :<
