Here's a small and rather undercorated section that looks kinda presentable...

Hmmm 4420 Wpolys so far :D with textures scaled on 2.0

This will be a Hell to reduce.... :D

Anyway my map will be Singleplayer only :)

i cant do 100% the same House, like in the Movie cause of r_speeds and lack of Info but i try to map the original as much as possible.
Posted 11 years ago2012-12-20 02:02:56 UTC Post #311685
I have an idea, but I might have to tone it down a bit to make it in any way workable, not even taking into consideration something else I'm supposed to be doing.

What game is it?
Posted 11 years ago2012-12-20 02:51:44 UTC Post #311689
Halflife.

I didn't bother to look at my r_speeds, they range up to half of templar's house... I don't know what you're doing to get so many polys.

Oh you cant see all the Details :D
With Null Texture and Func_Details wpolys are @ 2500 max ( but still empty house :D )

I find it funny when you guys are agitated over the 4000 poly count, as if 4000 was a lot of polys. I'm planning to put 100k-400k per area in my map.

GoldSource Skals, it renders differently, 15k poly will make your fastest i7 struggle to put out 100fps.

yeah and this is not your problem Skals, we can use all tools we want.
And rethink about how Eyecandy our Stuff will be atleast with Goldsource ;)

I could too work with UDK or Cry Engine but not for a "Free" Contest.

What are the prizes anyway?

Posted 11 years ago2012-12-21 03:29:44 UTC Post #311718
The prize is being Rimrook. I think we all know who's going to win it.
Posted 11 years ago2012-12-21 04:14:58 UTC Post #311720
The prize is a trophy on your page that makes you look baws and would probably look pretty nice on a portfolio along with the reviews and also experience. Oh and a sexy map in your vault and to play every so never. :crowbar:

The sense of accomplishment alone will help make up for the rest of your life you've neglected while making the map.
Posted 11 years ago2012-12-21 13:41:24 UTC Post #311730
Sure. But prizes would be nice :glad:

Thinking about some Roger Dean design mixed with Monkey Island. Might enter..
Posted 11 years ago2012-12-21 13:55:12 UTC Post #311731
Sorry to say but Rimrook will not win that easy ;D

Some stuff i did today a Big Part of a Big Hl1 DM Map :)
2000 Wpolys at some spots mostly 1200-1500 :)

Too working on the House :D :D

Trempler you got some sick shit! But geez, stop mirroring evrehtheng!!! If you're maps weren't so symmetrical they'd be godlike!

Lots of nice stuff so far. I am being way too distracted by US' bullshit being passed in congress and christmas but i've poked at some textures tee hee.

Damnit I came here to say "Oh yeah, well wait 'til you see what Dewdle has planned!"

But he beat me to it. Crafty bastard.
Posted 11 years ago2012-12-22 11:30:35 UTC Post #311793
Oh fuck, dewdle is joining the terrorist force! The other maps entered might be getting bombed soon =(

Loving everyone's entries so far. This is gonna be a hell of a contest, methinks =D

Docrock this looks pretty :) Add more details to it :D we have the year 2012 so Goldsource can Handle 2000 wpolys in MP ^^

And Doodle hmmm :D
Posted 11 years ago2012-12-22 14:14:52 UTC Post #311802
Gs is good for up to 8k i think.
With all this going on i think there is no point to participate and get last place.

rufee: More often than not, it's the competitions you think you've no shot to win that you end up winning!

new mappers make up for there lack of knowledge and experience, with unending creative energy and shear determination, while older mappers weakness is being jaded and overconfident.

Besides, this is looking to be one of the most popular compos of all time, so it's a great opportunity for some of you wallflowers to step up =)

I was not interested in this contest at all, but all the participation is pretty contagious, 'specially with Trempler's rapid-fire WIPs and some of the old greats like Rimrook and Dewdle are in.. this is great =)

Hey now, i don't want to be rude or anything :) but I'm not new to mapping. I probably started before the all mighty Bruce did so that puts some years on me. Though i didn't make much nor particularly good maps. I do have an idea (or a few) that fit this compo, but not sure if could accomplish them in source :(

Posted 11 years ago2012-12-22 22:53:59 UTC Post #311809
yeah sorry rufee, it was wrong to make assumptions from only 2 maps in the vault, you could be Gabe Newell for all I know ;)

I haven't come up with an idea for this yeah but I know when I do it will be awesome =)

Jaded and overconfident as a weakness only if they let it be a weakness.

If I'm so jaded, why am I not bowing out because I have better things to do?
If I'm so overconfident, why am I frantically working now instead of way later in the time alotted because I'm worried I won't live up to my current skill level?

Rimrook, please allow me to clarify that i meant most older mappers tend to be jaded ;)

I just had an idea which would make u piss your pantalones, so I might even try and make a map for this comp.

O and 1 question, is it just the looks/design of the map that are being criticized or is it the gameplay as well?

I mean, does a 1v1 map count the same as a 16v16 map?

This is a thematic competition, so I would say this competition is primarily about looks and "vibe". Any kind of single or multi-player gameplay would be a plus though. If two maps were in a tie, the one with gameplay would win against the one without gameplay.

Thanks Trempler. For about an hour and before validating/reinstalling etc. I was having weird lighting and severe slowness issues. I think it's better now, fingers crossed.
Are you in the G Banana competition too?

Mapping with cylinders = break source engine.

that is why I love GS engine. No one can screw around with it, and its tools, but me!
