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. :)

Wow It's great to see all the participation for this one. Can't wait to see all the entries :)

Nice Idea Muzzie, I guess this should have been done sooner :P

i have 3 maps to enter...

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. :glad:
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! :glad:
Vote ansith for gold! Freshed Cheers

You've always been able to subimt multiple maps, but normally, most of us have trouble submitting one :P
Posted 18 years ago2006-02-11 03:47:02 UTC Post #162599
It was your idea muzzle. An idea that will send you to your end! :P

Edit:
I don't think I'll get it in time... I always open up hammer instead of wally.

Edit #2:
Arghh I opened the wrong program again.

Edit #3:
Finally :)
Posted 18 years ago2006-02-11 20:14:08 UTC Post #162742
Grr I keep having all these great ideas..but then I have like 4 or 5 rooms and they don't match up. Poo.
Posted 18 years ago2006-02-13 17:15:39 UTC Post #163094
Wow, If half the people enter who say they're entering actually enter, this could be one of the most popular mapping contests ever!

Add me to the list :) Screenies in here or new thread?
Posted 18 years ago2006-02-13 17:18:59 UTC Post #163095
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 :nuts:
All I can do is hope for the best that it comes out all right.

Heh Secret map! Get in ma bellay!

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.

and my secret map which is far from it
Good news, good news.

I probaly have to rush my entry, sadly. :(
Posted 18 years ago2006-02-18 06:42:39 UTC Post #163814
I'm having trouble completing this one even with FresheDs help, I just have no time after school/worring about when my new computer will come/reissues maps/homework/being social/everything else that I do.
Posted 18 years ago2006-02-18 07:38:15 UTC Post #163819
you'll manage. Never fear....

Also, i'm just going to say that i am in fact only going to submit 2 maps.

dm_stranded
&
dm_control

....

Sorry rowleybob, but the secret map will be finished some time.. just not in time for the competition

grrrrrr, no time, darn. I might not be able to enter
Posted 18 years ago2006-02-18 23:55:22 UTC Post #163907
Not long left...

/me rushes to get it finished..

Looks like ill be entering with just a layout. Eek! :confused:
Posted 18 years ago2006-02-19 12:37:56 UTC Post #163954
Keep pusing meh Hearties!

If your map isn't exactly where you want it to be, that's okey--I know mine isn't.

Finish your masterpiece and submit it!!
Posted 18 years ago2006-02-19 19:06:13 UTC Post #164004
I'm afraid I wont be entering, damn teachers and their tests/homework. :furious: 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.
Posted 18 years ago2006-02-20 02:02:26 UTC Post #164040
Extension! Yes thats what we need unless I finish in time :badass:

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.
Posted 18 years ago2006-02-20 11:05:45 UTC Post #164059
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.
Posted 18 years ago2006-02-20 16:09:02 UTC Post #164114
haha :D

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.
Posted 18 years ago2006-02-21 07:05:39 UTC Post #164218
I think my entry isn't compo worthy really, but i've tried my best to still make something out of it. A few more things and i'm done..
Posted 18 years ago2006-02-21 07:47:12 UTC Post #164220
Rowleybob: Nice work! I suggest lowering the scale for the texture on the house, its a bit high.

/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. :P

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

Almost ready to submit, I gotta put the custom wad files next to the bsp. I couldn't -wadinclude or -nowadtexture them, I got a strange error wich I can't fix in time so yeah...
Posted 18 years ago2006-02-21 10:26:43 UTC Post #164255
Both my maps are now submitted

Posted 18 years ago2006-02-21 18:16:07 UTC Post #164323
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.
Posted 18 years ago2006-02-21 19:36:41 UTC Post #164337
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.
Brush-based Luke in a Brush-based Land-speeder
Needn't worry 'bout props on this map... In the words of Luke Skywalker from "Jedi": "I've taken care of everything." :P

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 :(
Posted 18 years ago2006-02-22 12:32:16 UTC Post #164481
I submited, althought I'm pretty sure I'm not getting any prize (still hoping and praying thought), I hope the map still creates a great match of dm, i'll probaly update it so It's worth for the map cycle. :)
Posted 18 years ago2006-02-22 15:22:22 UTC Post #164527
If only the compo lasted longer I would have a chance at entering.

Im not entering... finaly a compo i like and im to busy to join.... GREAT

Lots of people are asking for extensions so maybe one will be granted.

Is the current deadline still the 25th?

Yes, its all over. Alex and Muzzle will be judging, unless something changes. If that happens, I'll be judging with Muzzle.
