I tried 2 maps, 1 failed because of errors, the other because of lack of inspiration and a crappy lay-out.
80% that I will not enter.
(I'm trying to get Ansith to enter thought, helping him bits.)

Heh, today I've got some more spare time than others, and I've started something new. It's in the same style as Trirena, which I wanted to finish up some day but I figured there were some flaws to it that were hard to work around. So, I'm going with a new layout and a more impressive sort of area's. I hope it works out well.

1 will be dm_stranded
1 will be dm_control (a few of you have played it when i was testing on muzz's server)
And the other will be kept a secret for now... however, i can say that it is due to rowleybob that it is being made... dont ask rowleybob as he doesnt have a clue about it, but something he said made me wanna make it..

I do?
I was pointing out that 3 maps is... well.... a lot for a compo.
Making a map for the compo myself now, I don't think I will finish it, kinda lost hope, on the other hand, i'm helping Ansith with his map.
Ansith is going to pwn you all!
Vote ansith for gold! Freshed Cheers

Im going to try and get my Megaman map finished up in time, I think it would be a nice addition to your server Muzz. Im about 25% done now, I've made the base for 3/8 of the megaman bosses. I'm worried about the gameplay though, it is hard to translate a 2-D side-scroller into a 3-D FPS
All I can do is hope for the best that it comes out all right.

LET THIS BE A LESSON TO ALL OF YOU! Never attempt to make 3 maps at once. you will not get them finished on time... so far i have 2 playable, which can pass as complete, and my secret map which is far from it

You meant "Never attempt to make 3 maps for a competition. Dedicating your efforts to one map is better"
There's nothing wrong with making three maps at the same time if there is no time limit.
By the way, my desktop PC is dead right now, and the map for Competition # 20 is still unfinished. I'll try to fix it and recover the file in time for the competition.

I'm afraid I wont be entering, damn teachers and their tests/homework. 
But I'll submit the map anyway.
The teachers always ruin my plans. I think I'll only enter during vacations. I haven't got much left to do. A bit of texturing, one room, entitywork and sending it over to rimrook. So I'll submit it in the vault, don't like to be pushed around.

dm_lars - Some screens:
Front

Front2
Main Living Area
Garage
Still lot's to do... The subterranean interior spaces are very raw. No weapons placement yet... More props I want to change to prop models...
I have some fun/funny stuff I want to add like the Sarlac Pit, but I'm not sure where to put it or if I'll have time.

I don't the lightning and the crappy sand texture, besides that, looks fine.
My latest attempt to a compo map, started out alright, but now, in the end, I have 1 big outside area free and I have feared my biggest weakness: Idea Lackness!!
I think i'll just have to fill it with crates.

Well I just compiled my map, and I forgot to remove some aiscripts in an area with little sewer pipes that I didn't close yet. It caused a leak.

I definitely would love an extension aswell to actually finish all the detail etc but its alright because I cant wait for the pressure to be off and be able to map when the feeling comes at different intervals (which doesnt come often) instead of keeping at it to get it in.

/me agrees with ant.
It really does look good. I am wondering why there is no Brush-based Luke in a Brush-based Land-speeder, though.
I'm impressed with the Domes on top of the houses, but you must do something about the texturing on them.
Also, FresheD was right about the sand texture... Its far from great, but thats not your fault... I suggest googling for a better one.
Finally, nice sky. In fact, this map could quite easily rock as a machinma map

I seem to have a little problem... the bsp took over then an hour. Thats weird for the vis usally takes that long, the bsp takes only a few minutes. I think it's because my brother always messes with the computer. I wont enter this one for sure.

Thank you Ant and Hunter for the comments! My initial plan was to do this all without custom content of any kind--to make everything easier--, but I found it necessary to replace the vaporators with models--they were 200 wpolys a piece!--and I decided the custom sky was a must.
That said, I'm going to custom texture everything.
My biggest problem is the lighting for the models, because the map is so dark. Other than that, all the hard stuff is done, and my only regret is that I didn't get more done sooner, to allow for playtesting

Brush-based Luke in a Brush-based Land-speederNeedn't worry 'bout props on this map... In the words of Luke Skywalker from "Jedi": "I've taken care of everything."
