PLEASE DO NOT ENCOURAGE MAPPERS TO MAKE README.TXT FILES!!!A readme is a text file (usually named readme.txt) containing...
As a person who develops a platfom-like mod, and have reviewed literally more than 4000 maps I should say: when extracting all of those crappy zips renaming every f****ng readme.txt so they won't be overwritten and so I know which map is belongs to is a royal pain in the arse(tm)!!
PS: good luck to all participants (^_^)/

Best is probably to name the readme file mapname_readme.txt. And if you want to know which map belongs to who then you'll need a readme file anyway!

Well, as expirience tells, the best is actually maps/mapname.txt - game can read and display it (usually, MOTD), there are no naming conflicts, automatic tools can find it, users can open it. Everyone is happy.

maps/mapname.txt is the standard, in spectate mode it can be read then, in counter-strike it can also be read and its good to include it in .res

Nice, funny that was my third choice, but was making the whole island surfable for cs 1.6. I gave up because in order to make it all surf ledges was making it look horrible.

I took some screenshots of my work in progress map last night, struggled to remember my imgur login, failed and went to bed. So yeah... you now get nothing.

I got a ton of work to do on my entry; lots of mapping but more "finding out how to do new stuff" than anything.
-Finish models
-Texture models
-Animate models
-Map two areas and connectors
-Redo most textures
-Convert sound files
@Urby, you're entering? I must have missed that, awesome! Can't wait to see what you got!

So, my first model was too many vertices and now my blender export isn't working so that I can break the model into parts. Guess that's what happens when you export a NURBS model as a triangulated .OBJ. Ugh, hopefully I can figure it out.
And, hopefully I can get my entry done. I've just been hung up on getting the models in game for the past few work sessions i've had available.

My re-imagining of half life was going to have to do with using animated models and invisible brush based entities to interact with the player in the level.
Since the program I use to 3D model exports with such high polygon count even at lowest settings I think it's time I give a new engine a look at. It just doesn't seem worth the effort to manually simplify my models to make them look like a dented up garbage can.
Maybe, just maybe i'll bite the bullet and use brush work to achieve my idea but i'm most likely throwing in the towel for the final time.
Good luck to you guys and can't wait to see the final turn out.

I'm not sure if I'll actually contribute anything to the competition. I started working on an "On the rail" inspired dm map - with combat on trains and in between a few stations, with player controlled tanks in a few places. Got a small part done, but I've been too busy/lazy/drained to work further. Finishing technical takes most of my focus right now...

Welp. I've submitted my entry. Do I have to upload it seperately to the map vault if I want it to be able to be played by the public?
EDIT: I decided to try to upload my map to the map vault anyway, seeing as others have done it, but I keep getting errors when trying to upload it. The zip file is over 2MB (closer to 25MB) so I have to link it. However, when I do so, I simply get an error that says "file error". Can anyone give further information on why this is?

Depends how you submitted it. If it's a link to the vault or a link you updated, then nope. If you uploaded the entry from the compo page, then yep. I'll download the entries after the compo closes so you have until then to make changes.

Found it impossible to commit to one direction for this one--even with the generous extension--, but also found brainstorming & getting reacquainted with Sledge a fun journey of discovery.
I may upload a dev/test version of mine before the deadline, depending what I can finish the next 2 days.
Wish everyone good luck & congrats on a great turnout for this compo

Unfortunately due to the absolutely massive amount of coursework I've had for university ( you guys are more than welcome to read it if any of you are curious ) so unfortunately, even with the extra month I haven't been able to make any progress.
I will however upload a .zip file with ALL of my sources / reference material, so psds, rmfs, vocal stuff etc, so anyone who was curious as to what I'd done so far is more than welcome to scour it.
