Cool competition idea, High fps! Created 18 years ago2006-02-04 01:34:47 UTC by Xyos212

Lol wouldnt it be funny to have a map competition where the goal was to get the chuggiest highest fps ever using the fewest items? LOL probably not a good idea, but it is fun to think about Like 10 brushes on diagnoal angles intersecting each other, selecting all of it and carving/hollowing all of it into another bigger version of itself. Stuff like that! LOL, what would you do???

LOL, i would.. oh bugger it i wouldn't enter

Oh, I'd have a great entry: I'd get the SHB I made, group it all, and use it to carve a single, gigantic brush. I WIN.

heh, heh, select my whole map, shrink it a little, skew it, then carve the whole thing out of a cylinder!!! OUCH!

... High FPS = good performance. Which leaves me wondering: what the fuck are you on about?

And stop with the LOL bullshit, please, it's fucking horrible.

thats a picture of you isnt it trapt!

Yes, though I photoshopped my acne out of it!11

is that all, or is your face always that shaped!?

I assure you that the shape of my face, ears, nose, mouth, big teeth and little teeth have not been altered.

Yep, I can vouch for that. Keep it clean, folks.

Stop with the image macro bullshit, it's fucking retarded.

Retarded as that genuine image of Trapt, in fact.

Trapt's on an image churning high. He seems to be going through that phase where he can't express himself with words anymore.

chuggiest highest fps

I think he meant r_speeds instead of fps.
This idea is a bit silly. I would make a single cubic brush, give it a one-colour texture and a texture scale of x=0.01 y=0.01 and I would win. Texels are what make up polygon numbers, not weird brushes or bad leaf-threading. Those make the chuggiest compile times.

I'll beat you for I'll use a 16x16 texture with 0.001 scale. And I'll turn it into two cubes with a corridor between them.

Stupid idea, in my opinion.

Geez Trapt your a cold mean person arnt you? ITs just a forum. People are entitled to mistakes in typing, geez. Dont need to freak about small things, geez, sigh, and hm, ah yes, lol!

who ever wins this imaginary compo also wins the the 'worst mapper in the world compo' so.. what's the incentive?

The thrills? I might enter this sometime...Whats the deadline?

Why use lots of polygons when you can overload the fillrate too? Give me some opaque faces and I'll brow a nightmare fps for ya without going over the top with faces.

@Strider: probably not, because it may take some technical insight before you can create a fps abomination. N00bs often only accidentally hit these limits. Seems like Murphey's law applies to them quite well...

Why is it the fact you started this thread with "Lol wouldnt it be funny to..." immiediatly make me think; young person, new to the internet (ish), and somone with little mapping experiance?

Sorry thats just what popped into my head when I read the first line. Why would anyone want to do this anyway? "Look at me Ma, I can max out and crash a game engine nearly a decade old!". Perhaps all those who enter would be 'Newly Educated Reproductivly Deprived Socialist'?

I'm not saying it was a bad idea... well ok it is a bad idea... Yea thats pretty much the end of it. No offence intended.

Wow Tycell your kind of a moron. Im 18, experienced with mapping, and talking about Source! Are you stupid? Did you ignore the part where I said its just an idea, and not serious???? No, you didnt because you just wanted to be an ass and say some stupid comment. The whole theme of this thread is not serious but just an idea! OMG ROFL LOL you are, whoo boy....................

Geez Trapt your a cold mean person arnt you?

Yes.

Wow Tycell your kind of a moron.

Geez Xyos212 your a cold mean person arnt you?!?11

With quake3, I could be you all with 0 fps.

Just put 2 mirrors facing each other so they reflect off each other, and bam, quake3 lockup.

There's nothing that prevents a lockup caused by mirroring mirrors in Quake3? Wow...

Xyos212: I didnt mean any offence, and I am an Idiot for not knowing how old you are (Doubt that you are 18, if you are your extremly immature) and how much you have used Hammer? I can see your getting worked up because no one is liking your idea but no need to fly off the handle like that.

In other words: Lol STFU noob it was a shit idea.

How about another comp idea.

A mod makes a buggy map, and the idea is to optimise and fix it as much as possible to get the most FPS, while still preserving the maps layout and look.

Now that is an original and interesting comp, although I personally probably wouldn't enter.

Just try to make a sphere (there are tutorials out there), carve them into an object in the corners, put a single texture over everything, and scale it as small as hammer will allow and dont run vis, also enclose the map in a HUGE skybox.

and use terrible, carved, downloaded prefabs scaled down much smaller than their original size.

How about another comp idea.

That's actually a really cool idea.

Optimising is incredibly boring. I doubt anyone would enjoy that competition.

Thats right, Trapt. One word: Boooooooooooooooring.

Tycell, I am actually 18, and yes kind of immature on the internet. I dont want this to be a competition it was just a funny thing to post. I dont care that this wont go in competition. I dont want it to. I dont mean to act like an ass to you, but you did start this "argument" so I had to respond accordingly. Also, age has nothing to do with immaturity. People 21 years old that are immature are normal. Maturity is a restult of living life and experiencing hardships. Is it my fault I havnt hade many hardships, therefore my maturity level is low? lol, forget that idea I believe you are ignorant of your own immaturity. Now, you are a good mapper and you gave me alot of helpful hints on my currently in production dam map, and I am grateful. Just please stop acting like a fool. I dont want this thread to persist so I ask one of the moderators to lock this thread please. It was not meant to be serious. A good reason is because awards go to good mappers, not bad ones. Making a map bad is easy, and you shouldnt recieve an award. It is just a funny idea. Stop taking it seriously Tycell. People need to learn that sometimes people tell the truth, and to accept others opinions, and weigh it against theirs, and without bias choose whos is better. LOL and OMG and smileys are just for fun, so stop complaining about that too. Just try to see how others interpret you..............
THIS RANT HAS ENDED.........END COMMUNICATION

Can someone just tell me when this compo ends for God sake...So I can plan my mapping...
