Entity Work Mini Compos Created 17 years ago2007-04-24 09:15:12 UTC by Tetsu0

We should have them.
Just a thought.

Like.. just doing really complex entity work... kinda like the board game mousetrap.

Suttin like that.

You realize, of course, that the most recent mini compo doesn't focus on brushwork. Its actually very well rounded in terms of brushwork and entities.

The currently active minicompo is due three days from now. So, yeah, Tetsu0's idea is valid. We should discuss that with the IRC regs.

I'll make a clock in source that tells the real time, including working gears and shit.

I'll end up not doing it...

It's been done. Check the vault.

Well for HL1 anyway.

And these are HL1 entity stuffs

I like the mousetrap idea! That would be interesting to see.

Yeah so i think we should have a new entity work competition.

make a Rune Goldberg machine.

If you guys want i can make up some rules and deadlines

No.
sorry.

Well Here goes. I'll just make the Rules

---

Entity-Work Competition 1: Rune Goldberg Machine
Rules:
Make a Rune Goldberg Machine (Chain Reaction Machine) That has a series of complex steps in order to complete a simple task. Such as opening a door, or making toast.

Entries cannot include any custom .wads or models because this is NOT a brushwork competition, it's strictly for smooth flowing and believable entity work.

Entries must have at least 5 steps or events (such as a boot kicking a bucket, or a mousetrap springing something...) that can be started with the simple push of a button.

The player cannot be a part of, or interfere with any of the events, but feel free to include any enemy AI you wish.

The machine can be of any scale, but the entire series of events MUST BE VISIBLE FROM ONE OBSERVATION POINT IN THE MAP. Example: A large outdoor area, with observer in a tower. Whatever

Place the completed .rmf and .bsp in the completed section of the map vault, post a link to the map vault page on this thread.

Deadline is may 15th at Midnight EST time. (I live on the USA east coast. sue me(not really, dont sue me(please)))

Good luck

So basically we can't focus on visuals, period? ...I'll pass.

Lol
fine include whatever you want
just dont make me hunt you down for extra stuff

lol!

"The first to get their balls into Mr. Bucket wins! but look out! Because the balls will pop out of his mouth!"

lol!

yeah. gotta love it. Milton bradley attracting the homosexuals early on. :
not really.
anyway
3 weeks to make the maps so if i dont get any submissions, i'm just gonna say "f y'all" and resume my normal internet stuffs.

I may even make a website after finals are over.

I like the idea, Tetsu0. Rune Goldberg Machine ftw.
Im entering.

Finally - some of my old stuff comes in handy!

My Entry

Sweet.
So regular competition results apply; like you can have more than one entry.

So Daubster already has an entry in, and we're awaiting one from Muzzleflash.
awesome.

Daub, you still have 3 weeks to make another, if you so choose.

I'll make one if I have time...

why not

I didn't mean that kind of clock tetsuo.

I was referring to it using gears and weights. Would need source, though.

Ahhh sweet. Well maybe in another competition.
This one is a rune goldberg machine.

Just making sure you guys are still working on these. Deadline is march 15th

hehe, March?

I have a question...

You said it must be visible by the player... can I use cameras instead?

May 15th.

may 15, yes. It can be viewable from a camera.

Allright. This stuff's due tomorrow. Someone give me SOMETHING to judge.

LOL, seems like people don't actually care to map for compos in such rapid succession... I guess there's a good reason for the big competitions to be like 3 months apart

Hey, we dont want Daub to win by default here. Next entry in and its closed. C-mon people.
