It's an apostrophe, rowley.

Ok folks, apparently I am the second judge with SlayerA. Both of us have download the compo entries. I haven't looked at 'em yet, but I dunno about SlayerA.

I sure hope you guys included readme's so I know what's HL and what's Source.

It's an apostrophe, rowley.

Dammit!

Grammatically Pwned

Um, i add caps lock to some of my words because, when you talk you dont keep in the same tone like i am now....it just adds variety to life...i suppose..............and........the..........are long pauses....GEDDIT???

i didnt include a read me. Ahem. well, yes....anyway.

I would map for Source - if I had 2GB of RAM and a 400 video card. hammer.exe takes up 450MB of memory just idling.

What's a 400 video card?
And you don't need 2GB RAM, 1GB is fine.

And you don't need 2GB RAM, 1GB is fine.

I made 11 source maps with 512 MB or RAM and a geforce4 Ti 4200 and never had any problems. People tend to overestimate the system requirements for Hammer 4 and source. What you need is to keep your computer clean and healthy, and Hammer should work fine

Hmmm, I just opened Task manager. Out of my 512 RAM, 450 is taken up with Windows, mystery processes, Steam, Xfire, Opera and McAfee. When I run the Source Hammer, the program feels sluggish and moving around in the 3D view feels chunky. I don't want to even imagine compiling as i've heard vvis is slow.. I've always wondered, can I create things like cubemaps even if I can't use it in-game? ("-dxlevel 70" thanks to my MX 440)

400 dollar video card. Ala my friends computer. I want to try my compile on his supposed 50x better dual core 2.66 compared to my single 2.66 P4.

$400?! I've mapped for source on a AU$80 card! a US$400 is something crazy like a 7900GTX...as for your RAM, you need to clean your computer up if you have that kind of RAM usage running normally.

I managed Source on a GeForce 2, so you all fail.

We had no Source entries by the way. So much for a dual compo.

Dammit!.. there goes my handicap!!1

ANYWAY....when will judging be finished?

Late January, 2008
(OMG kidding, don't smite me please/thank-you)

Judging finished a while ago.

Have to get some screenshots, then Alex has to do some database junk.

stop being so damn impatient!
iirc, the mods have lives too, although that could have changed in the last few months.
otherwise, they're holed up in their basements playing cs, so leave them alone kthx.
(if they don't have a basement, it's the lowest level of their house/apartment/whatever, or a hole in the ground.)

The 'mods have lives aswell' bullshit needs to end.
So what if they have a busy social life?

I'm sure they could get 15 minutes off on any given random day to work on the compo results. :

Ant is chatting at IRC quite frequently, instead of that, he could review a compo map. Obviously.

New excuse.

We're lazy. Deal with it.

Fair enough.

At least try to manufacture a good lie, jeez.

Fail.

Yeah, laziness.

...so any predictions for when these results are going to be released....2006?

i really want to see who won because i had a dream where i lost the comp! ha, the thought of THAT!

...so any predictions for when these results are going to be released....2006?

Probably after Duke Nukem Forever comes out.

"Whens that?"
"NEVER!!!!!"

Not really. Team Fortress 2 is scheduled for summer 2007, so there's always hope.

Blame Alex, not me, I gave him the results a while ago.

He's too busy getting drunk!

haha

Heh, heh, I was.

I've done bits of it. Might have them up tonight. Anyway, you can't complain. We extended the deadline for a week for you lazy bastards.

We extended the deadline for a week for you lazy bastards.

Well I had mine in before then you lazy bum hehe

Christ...the compo was closed nearly a month ago

Man, I can't believe it. You can be more lazy than I am

Yeah, this is way past abu Ghraib-style torture now... c'mon!

Since the judging was completed a long time ago, just post the damn results in the thread so us losers can get on with our lives! It's not that tard:

/me gets some torches and pitchforks and heads over to Alex's house...

Woo i got Silver!
thanks rowley!

There, now stop bitching.

You people make me sick.

Congrats Contest Winners.

LOL rowleybob's results > official results

LOL at chuck norris!!! HAHAHA

Yay!!1

*pulls a mangled printed picture of Alex's avatar off the dartboard.


Congrats to the winners!

I just wish more people would put their entries in the vault after the compo ends, I mean, we had 9 entries didn't we? I'd love to see what other people did!

Winners: Why not put your map in the mapvault so people can leave you nice comments?

Again, Congrats to all who won and participated!

Finally..

Well I now have a Bronze and Silver...This means I must win one to complete my collection

I'll add my map to the vault tommorow

Compo results were written by SlayerA (but they're my lovely widescreen screenshots), so I'll had my two cents.

Chuck Norris by Masta Killa

It was clear that as soon as this map started we had a winner. Masta Killer's sendup of the world of the infamous Texas ranger had custom skins, voices and some rather nice mapping. It also included some staples of the Chuck Norris world, which were quite ingeniously recreated in the Half-Life engine. A well deserved first.

The Weakest Link by Kasperg

If you haven't seen the show before, this map probably won't be as appealing as it could be. However, if you have, you're enjoy the fact that this is a fairly accurate recreation of the show, right down to the lighting, textures and the format of the show itself. Gordon's walk of shame was a particular highlight, as well as his subsequent rant.

Muppets by The_6th_Monkey

I was wondering when we'd see the Muppets in the Half-Life universe, considering we've had the game for nearly a decade now. The_6th_Monkey delivers, with a map with snarks, G-Man and the Cookie Monster! If that doesn't sound awesome to you, I don't know what does...
My only quip with this map is that it's quite short. However, some interesting entity work makes for a charming rendition of the Muppets theme.

Compo results were written by SlayerA

I was only asked to submit my notes, not a write-up of the winners, or I would have done a better job of writing things up. I didn't know they were going to be printed word for word. Ant's writeups above could be used in place of my notes. Anyway, congrats to the winners; nice job.

Oh...
I thought Alex told you. Oh well, no harm done.

Source compo next? :>

i hope so....its fun to do a compo, even if you know you have no chance

I bet i came 4th...right? right? well anyway i sure hope that the next comp will be source and HL. something we can all relate to.

Gold: Funnyone By DoucheBag2344
Blah Blah Blah Blah, Blah.

i submited another map that seemed to end up with rowleybob. though he forget my name and called me douchebag2344. nice going! my map 'funnyone' was tops eh guys!

This compo was for Source and no-one bothered to hand in a Source entry. Dunno if we should bother with a combined one again.

i dont use source so i dont care, though someone may come along one day wanting to do a source entry.

Whoa...finally...gold. I can't really say "finally" since this was the second compo I entered
