How does Crollo manage to inject so much fail into literally ANY topic?

BRMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
This thread was about competition ideas, not about an expired game.
I must emphasize that having a "Texture it!" compo for source with custom textures allowed would help(force) a lot of members from TWHL to learn more about Source, in this case the material system. Therefore, making them better mappers!

Ha, learning Source doesn't make you a better mapper. You could totally suck at GoldSource, and just learning about Source a little bit isn't instantly gonna make you 2pro at mapping. And then going back to GoldSource after the fact, you'd still suck. I don't really get the point you are trying to prove...?

I wasn't addressing to those who suck at mapping. Those members should not participate at competitions.
And I am just trying to help the community to move from goldsource to source. Source is much more wonderful and let's you be more creative than goldsource.

I sucked at Goldsource. Moved to Source for 4 years. Back on goldsource now for TC, and people seem to like what I can do now... Well, everything I learned to do now, I learned from Source.
Make of that what you will.
It's totally off topic, but I can't help myself when Joebama makes it so clear that he still thinks Goldsource is a better engine in the literal, technical sense.

They allow mappers to foster their skills by focusing their imagination and abilities to a clear task. Competitions are, in no way, limited to the skills of the mapper.

I agree, which makes it even more entertaining to provoke your militant responses to any promotion of the Source engine.

Those members should not participate at competitions.Why the hell not? This isn't a professional portfolio here, working on a competition map could be a good way to learn a lot about mapping.
Anyway, I suck at mapping and I was thinking of entering the next competition. I may be insulted.

Anyway Joe, whats depicted in those screens I posted took months to do, I have a terrible time coming up with ideas, and then when I actually get started on something, I look back, see how terrible it is, and tweak it for months and prevent myself from making progress.

Why map from a template. Why not mix it up and say, make a map using nothing other than textures from a custom WAD (to be provided)

mapping to one pre-defined .wad is actually a really good idea. That could present some very interesting takes on a theme.

I'd like to hype-up the idea about mapping from a single wad as well.
Though I think the was should be provided by a member of this forum (for all legitimacy purposes), with no less than 100 images.

100 textures is a lot! In order for a competition requiring single-wad/single texture set to be a challenge shouldn't it have few textures? like, say, make a map with only a set of wall, floor, ceiling, and trim/glue textures or something?

I don't know why ya'll are being hard headed. Condition zero wasn't "repainted" with flameable paint. Its actually nice and I like playing it . I was just trying to recommend a fun game that is cheap to youg guys. If you "like" counterstrike than you'll "love" condition zero. I wasn't targeting you who don't like counterstrike...
And Ant, I guess your right.

Cs 1.6 sucks I just compared it to condition zero and its like walking into a room of sheeeeiittt. lol
Ninja Defuse; Give something a try before bashing it!!!!!!!!
Also, for those who map. Condition zero's fgd. includes rain and snow which is nearly impossible to include in large maps or any for that matter without highly negatively effecting the map's gameplay otherwise.
Wow thats a great idea guys! Nice one Urby.

The textures will have to be made with Source in mind originally, too. That means normals/ssbumps, and spec maps (if necessary) need to be made with the diffuse. Easiest part is shrinking them down for the WAD, heh.
A small set with a couple of walls, floors, ceilings and trims is the best bet. But... what theme?
EDIT: I should mention that we already had something in mind for this competition, a quick and easy one. It might be worth keeping this idea for the next one, give us some time to have the textures made up.

Wait a sec, wasn't this topic about ideas for the next competition? What the hell are you guys talking about? Lets get this back on track please.
Let me throw out some ideas for the next competition:
1. Map an Xen map. [The thing with xen maps these days, is there's rarely any of them released, and I don't recall lately having any competition similar to this, so why not? Most mappers here haven't really done the theme a lot, so it would be a nice challenge.]
2. Map a space station / space ship?
3. How about an entity challenge for once? Here's an idea for that: Map a gman styled dream, it doesn't have to include gman in it, but it has to be short, use cameras, fade effects and so on.

I like the "map from a WAD" idea. It would have to be the right size, and pretty diverse. Maybe someone could make a custom one specifically for a compo.
I'm aware the mods are deciding this one, but it's a good idea for the near future.

Mapping from a .wad could be fun but I don't have HL1 installed anymore....
I know...blasphemy!!
As long as I can map from a texture pack then it's all good for me. I still want to see another brush compo. Make it a single object like a building or a bridge or whatever you want...the freaking Eiffel tower hasn't been done here yet. Doesn't have to be a working map necessarily. Allows more focus on the work and not details like lighting and multiple end tasks that leave alot of maps unfinished. A lot of my maps are unfinished simply because I am not good at everything and I hate releasing something that is not finished.

So that means that textures will be originally made for source and then exported to a wad?
Posted 13 years ago2011-01-21 15:19:19 UTC
Post #289499
Yes, so it's a competition for both engines again.
Also, a rule like you must use every texture at least once might add to the challenge.
