is 'Xen Transportation' what Elon had chosen? I didnt know that...

Is it limited to just one kind of transport? Or maybe a whole system with different components?

Kasperg, you know how relaxed our competitions are ;). If it's not defined, you can do whatever you want.

You can create how meny transports that you like! 
And unbreakable you can make a teleporter or more then one but they must be orignal and intresting! 
And you can also create a vichle or both!!

this doesnt make any sense! *ITS MUST BE USABLE BY PLAYER!
IF ITS GONNA BE THEN WE NEED NEW SOUNDS.WE CANNOT USE THE CUSTOM TRAIN SOUNDS FOR A XEN THINGY.AND IF WE NEED SOUNDS.ALL COMPS NEED TO BE IN MOD FORMAT.

ITS MUST BE USABLE BY PLAYER!if he is gonna be a passenger how is he gonna use it! :

I think they ment something like this: The player must be able to be transported by it

Post #129389
"Usable by the player" means he can be a passenger and that it can move. It doesn't mean the player can drive it!(although he can) 
On the contrery I'm making a map that I'll submit it to the vault later and he wont drive the vichle or vichles!

Well, I already know what my entry will be like. Of course, It will have to be a minimod. I suspect Rimrook will also come up with something interesting.

I'm not too sure if I'll be participating in this one, besides, I got alot of other stuff that needs to be done, like the twhlmix, and HL:HS.. plus I got a friend who is awaiting a custom light shadow tutorial, and a couple prefabs so, I'm a bit tied up.

im going to enter, gives me a reason to do something with zen. and i have some good ideas about zen transport. plus i have a good idea for the next compo.
and i think that 'player controlable' in this really translates to 'the player gets to choose the moument he is transported, either via walking into a specifid area, or pressing a zen button'

My entry will have a story, with the potential to draw tears even from the most heartless mappers. Oh, and it will also have a xen transportation thingy, of course.

What if I only had a xen world.. or a city.. ..
Do I absolutely need a transport system, or teleportal?
'Xen Transportation', could mean many things.
If I'm interested enough, it will move up in my priorities list!

What do you mean by that? If you are mapping for Cs you wont have all the Hl1 entities but do you have all these entities? If not then you need a fgd file!! 
Unbreakable: You can make a city or xen but it must have a tranportation system! It can be everything: Xen bus,texi,space shaft...ect

My transport system will be somewhat inspired by the movie Contact.

Post #129509
Interesting movie, but it sounds a little hard to translate into a map 
Posted 18 years ago2005-08-24 16:25:54 UTC
Post #129513
Its not exactly like the movie, just inspired. You may guess once wich part. its probably a bit obvious.

Sounds like it could turn out to be an excellent competition. After all, without Xen, there's no Half-Life story! Maybe we'll find out how Xen residents get back-and-forth to work, how they get to the beach or to school. How do alien slaves get to the wing place in time to get back for the big game on the XTV channel?!

Create a transportation system for Xen! Build the transport and points for the player to travel between using 'it'. The entry can be any kind of transport: the more original the better. The transport itself doesn't necessarily have to be a native Xen thing, and it doesn't have to be in a floating part of Xen, either.maybe its the fact that you dont just have to make a transport system from xen to xen, it could be xen to earth. It never said you had too make it for xen only. And it didnt say it had to be native to xen

Just out of curiosity Seventh, will there every be a competition in which Spirit Dlls can be used?

Post #129538
All official compotitions are for Hl1! Spirit is a diffrent mod. Maybe you can start an unofficial compotition.
