1. Rimroom's not entering.
2. I am, though. PUWAHA. I guess my name doesn't have any respect anywhere, but that's alright.

With this one, that's 3 compos in a row I haven't entered. I'll try to return for the next 2 (HL and source), regardless of the theme.
Still, I think you shouldn't base your participation on what other mappers do or don't.

yea, Kasperg is right, give it what you got you can only improve and learn from others. You should always download compo winners maps to see what you could have done, or perhaps the simple things, architectural and texturing wise. But on an even more serious note, this cometition is anyones game. And may the most thoughtful win.

Don't worry then you can do what that I always do- post it in the vault a year later and turn it into a mod.

I think I might enter this contest, just for fun. I have a cool idea of making the map look as if it was destroyed by a computer virus (including amusing error messages). One thing, though. When the player starts the map, does there have to be a pre-destruction stage, or can they just get right into the action?

Optional

The main goal is to have a good post-disaster version. If you think a disaster step will look good before the post-disaster (to explain how this and that blew up), then go ahead. It's always a plus if your map is impressive or fun.

Wow Ant, I love the high contrast of that screenie...pretty nice
I'm in on this, I think. Spent some time looking through the map today, sprucing it up a bit before destroying it
Good luck to all entering!

Kasperg: Is there a basemap20.rad file for this, or did you just use the standard?
I don't use the standard anymore, and make a mapname.rad for each new map. If you did make a custom rad for this, it would be interesting, if not entirely relevant to see how you had the original lighting.

I used the standard .rad file.
I could post screenshots here if you need them. But your lighting doesn't have to be like that. On the contrary, you are asked to modify the map.

I have been interested in (and mapping for) this compo from the day it was announced. I'm in. It seems to me there's plenty of freedom to decide how to destroy the map. It will be good to see the different entries.

You seem to over estimate yourself. It wont be easy yet, there is still slayerA.
Anyway- damn that really sucks, unbreakable. How did it happen? Do you still have one of the map/rmf/max/rmx/bsp files? : If so it's not totaly lost.

You still have several days left. Now that you already had an idea, you could do a quick modification of the base map with some of those elements and hope for bronze, you never know!

Could there be a say... 5-day extension of the deadline?

Post #179243
I've been here the whole time, don't know what interlopers is. So far, I'm having a blast with this compo idea. I'll barely make the deadline tho. Does anyone know what time the compo ends on the 13th? I'll be mapping furiously to make it.

The other compos ended at midnight GMT (altough I managed to update an entry at 00:20 hrs or something like that.
I wish I could've participated in this competition myself. Specially after learning how things are built in real life.
Of course, as judges we won't check technical aspects. You know, just the basics. If there's a brick wall, it will most likely break into bricks instead of pentagonal pieces, etc.

Post #179263
I think it's 2400GMT, rather than 0000. Don't count on it. You can always submit an entry for 0000 and then re-submit an updated one twenty-four hours later.

What do you all think of a countdown timer for future compos?
It could be me, but I've always been confused by when they end...

Yes, but nobody responded to the TWHL3 Post, and it seemed relevant, since we're talking about the Compo 20 deadline.

its amazing how in the final compile i planned to do, i get a leak that i cant find... amazing
Posted 17 years ago2006-05-10 13:00:42 UTC
Post #179320
Yeah, Leaks can be caused by tons of things, totally unrelated to an actual leak anywhere, which sucks the big one.
The coordinates it gives you though sometimes gets you close to where the real problem is. Usually the x and y coords are totally off, but the z coord is on the money.
The leak error usually lists a point or brush-based entity where the problem is, which is usually a lot more accurate a location where the problem is.
Good luck!

Yea, I got a leak as well in my compo map.. I loaded the pointfile.. and even used the leakmark.. and I looked and looked and looked.. and There was no leak. So i ended up just overlapping the brushes of where the leak supposed to be, it fixed it. But I hate overlapping brushes. But anyway, point is, the leakmarker tool really helped me alot. You should give it a try.
