Nice to see you've learned your lesson.

And if you weren't aware, the compo was extended twice. It ended a very short time ago, and so judging will still be some time. One more thing - because of your behaviour you are disqualified, I hope you are aware of that.

lol

There should be a separate rule. Like.. a Skals is/is not able to enter lol.

Yall post yalls entries in the vault!

Yeah I'd like to see the other entries too!

Here's and update of my nonentry:


Download Clicky

The massive reduction of clipnodes by using -cliptype smallest and making complex structures func_illusionary has given me more freedom than I thought! There's so many things I want to do with this, and I'm teedering between a train ride on a dropship/battlecruiser, or a detailed wraith attack uncloaking on the protoss base at the beginning...

My compo map was horrifically un-finished, but I submit it anyway for the sake of the entity work that I did. I guess you'll see it sooner or later. Just know, it looks crap.

What game did you do?

I made a working playable version of pong via source physics.

Litterally all my compo is is a large entity setup, a dev room, a brushed arcade machine, and then the pong game room.

I did submit the vmf with it, so if you can look at source stuff it'll be there for you.

I ran out of time, as I made it in a single week =(

polish it up and release the final version when you do! it's pretty fun, and it sure took a lot of work, so you should make the game room reflect that!

This was my entry:I based it on the original super mario bros game on the Nintendo where Mario and Luigi would fight on pipes and have a large POW box in the middle to knock each other off the pipes.

been over a month.. any news on the results of the contest?

This is still in the shoutbox from when you asked the same question yesterday:

It's not being judged until July. The judging admins have a list of jobs so long it'd make your head spin.

hahahahaha. from what i recall, it was suposed to be judged like three weeks ago.

I have no idea where you heard that.

On the front page of twhl perhaps?

Wrong.

that's right, i forgot that july came before june this year.

...... :/

LOL.

Well here is my final version of my unsubmitted C25 entry:

Remake a Game! - StarCraftI hope you enjoy it... I enjoyed making it. StarCraft Players should like it, nonplayers less so. Lemme know what you think!

)

It was pretty amazing. Starcraft, almost exactly how I remember it.
This looked amazing, a cool starting point would be to have been popping out of the Barracks with an SMG. =D
A few nuisances in the map, but other than that, I loved this map.

Lots of people downloaded my entry but not many commented it.

-Ok, the suspense has built way too long! Everytime I check the comp. page my stomache starts to float.

i'm actually typing up the results right this very second.

.. so if we have two 1st place winners, who gets to choose the next compo?

me. it's a portal map compo!

Sounds like something I can enter!
But I say that each time so, yeah whatever.

If we had a portal map compo I would probably cream myself.

Portal for Src and 6-D for GldSrc?
.. pweeees? ;>

I didn't even win 3rd place wth. Maybe if the people judging the maps were even good at mapping at all themselves it would be fair.

It doesn't take a mapper to realise the map had problems

Brushwork was good, gameplay was crap

haha, harsh. I don't need to be "good at mapping" to judge the compo. I know what to judge, and I know what I'm judging.

You can't expect to get a place just because you entered a map. If your entry was for source you probably would have got 3rd.

this makes me realize how much help i need in texturing D:

man im sad. i misunderstood the rules i thought it was remaking the game, not just a level based on the game. i thought it was a mod or something i dont know. i wish i had entered my gg_battlecreek map. can someone look at it and rate it just for the hell of it? i would like to get the feed back on it. thanks

Yes you "do" need to be good at mapping to judge a map. "There was no escape from the wrecked ship." You jump out! I worked countless hours on this map and apparently you can't tell because you don't map yourself. And the gameplay wasn't even what mattered. I was finished with my entry and you extended so I sayed in the forum " kewl now I have time to add some gameplay." The replicated hunter ship door and overall feeling of the game that I recreated in the goldsource alone was enough to place in my opinion. I don't think ill ever enter a competition for this website again unless it gets some new judges and atleast more than one.

you guys are lucky I didn't have time to submit my halo entry where you see a million epic banners of master chief and epic opera music plays.

you do that.

You jump out!

Obviously if that wasn't clear, then it's your fault :/

Also, looks and work times dont make up everything. You need to include the full 'package'.

A completely new mapper could take weeks to make a map, and it still not be up to the par that we all want to see. If we tell him it's not good in some specific way, he wont complain to us about all the time he spent on it. He'll acknowledge that he needs to get better :/

in my opinion.

Really? heh

you can't tell because you don't map yourself.

PB knows the pros and cons of both engines, and most every aspect of mapping. He just doesn't do them actively, just like myself.. heh

On another note, Captain Terror; That is a nice recreation of starcraft ;o

Captain's was great
Really enjoyed jumping around in a base.

"Gameplay was crap." In my entry you start out as samus aran. Like the real game you receive a mission brief. You are told to go to a planet to tame its hostility. You shoot through a door and jump into your hunter ship to notice that it needs power so you leave it to find a energy cell. You find a small hole and morp ball through it to find an energy cell over a dangerous fire pit. You get it and morph ball back to the ship and take off. Than your flying through space with stars and a huge yellow planet screeming towards you. The hostile planet shoots you down with a missile and you crash land and wake up from your unconsiousness to fight off monsters, dodge bombs and defeat a monster at the core of the planet. Than you get jumping boots and find your way to a new hunter ship that has been sent for your escape. -In your entry you start out on a pillar. Two doors stand afoot. But wate, they don't open... So uh, I guess jump down? Oh look a dead thing and thunder. That was kinda neat. Now lets hop on some bricks but if you dare touch the soft grass youll be sure to take a sitter. Than you jump into a blue floating ball of crap. "the end yay" My gameplays crap?

Zeeba-G I am stuck in the ship with missile alert or what ever on, what the hell do I do?

well it is crap so far, the ship ain't crashing!

Should load the next map. Just retry it, if you die and load back at the ship everything will freeze.

zeeba you are describing Deathan's map, which has some of the best lighting and ambience I've seen in goldsource. It was by far the best map entered. TheGrimReafer's map was pong, which has some of the best entity work I've ever encountered upon.

and Dewdles was fun to playtest ;o

If you'd not explain the entire level in every one of your posts, that'd be great.

-You made pingpong invented by saggy bottoms bob mcenzee in 1642 you ball.

Would you like to try?

Also, the inventor's name is a little off

zeeba-g i read your posts and it is obvious what you are trying to say is that you spent lots of time on your map and you are disappointed that it didnt fair better. I admit saying gameplay is crap doesnt help you out much in the way of getting advice on how to improve things. but if you bash others maps without taking the time to appreciate what they did i think you will not be met with very many positive comments.

the only reason i say this is because i take criticism a little too personally as well. im trying to understand the statements so i can improve but sometimes people dont comment with much tact.

"gameplays crap" isn't critisizm, its klobbering.

-Imus you should get halflife 1 to check mine out. I saw your haunted house and thought it was awesome.

-You made pingpong invented by saggy bottoms bob mcenzee in 1642 you ball.

That's pretty klobberish too.

I spent a nice length of time on that entity setup.

"gameplays crap" isn't critisizm, its klobbering. -You made pingpong invented by saggy bottoms bob mcenzee in 1642 you ball.

you're both right. BRING ON THE NEXT CHALLENGE!
