Title: Mapping contest II
Post by: Robotam on February 12, 2006, 04:54:34 PM
This is where you submit your maps for the contest.
I'll keep it up until it dies.

RULES:

- The maps can't be already made maps from your game. You have to start from a scratch. Whatever you do with the maps after the contest is completely up to you.

- 20x15 only.

- No RTP.

- Your map cannot be a screenshot of one of your maps from the previous contest.

- The map has to be made by YOU and only YOU.

- You cannot submit two maps that was made from the same chipset.

- Name your map when posting it.

- Comments and questions don't belong here. PM me or Meiscool for that stuff. This thread is made for map submition only.


Map away!

um, this 15x20 what units is it pixels,inches or cenimeters?
and what resoloution?
Title:
Post by: Meiscool-2 on February 12, 2006, 05:11:32 PM
lol, 15X20 is a screenshot. Meaning, you're only allowed to post a screen of the map, not the entire map itself.

Judge-Yes
COOL ladder Turny - Yes
Official- Possibly

From what I understood from robotam, we're taking the maps now, then by random, we will pit maps against each other when we have enough submittedd to start the battle.

Hows that gonna work? If you have more than one map entered and its a 1v1 tourny type thing, what would happen if one of your maps won or something against one person, then another map lost against a map from another person. You win, but then again, you lost...

So yeah, I'm a bit confused. I don't see how this would work if anyone submitted more than one map per round.

It's a turny... let's see.... let's say you're predicting who will win the basketball games. You pick three teams. To win, two of those teams have to lose no matter what. Basically, we're allowing more then one submition to have that same effect. Only one map will come out on top, and we the judges will select at random which map vs the next for the begining of the turny.

Post by: Robotam on February 14, 2006, 06:07:52 AM
I say we let everyone submit how many maps they want to, we'll deal with it. And I've also already spoked with SaiKar so he probably knows the basics.

And one more thing..  After this post I do NOT want to see any posts that doesn't submit a map in it, that's actually a rule.

"Buried Castle"
An archeologist discovered this one day while he was searching through a barren region for artifacts. Apparently, the land was fertile years ago, as it would not be likely that a castle would be constructed in such a desolate wasteland. The castle is clearly very old because it has been almost completely covered by the rock formation.

I really don't want to enter a lot of maps, but this is an event I just made for my game (the RTP dude is a place holder, and because it's a custom pose, I assume it wavers the no-RTP rule), and I think this looks really incredible.

EDIT: Crap, there's an error in a tree, can I re-submit it?
Title:
Post by: Grandy on February 19, 2006, 02:00:53 AM
here's the one without the problem, if I can't re-subit then just ignore this, please.
Title:
Post by: Meiscool-2 on February 19, 2006, 02:24:39 AM
well, I didn't notice a difference between the tree errors in the first and second one. I' m pretty sure that the first contest didn't allow you to resubmit, so this one shouldn't. The map is only supposed to be screenshot sized, so just pick part of that map please. And, you're not supposed to have RTP, but that's Robotam's rule, and IMO, I don't really care as long as the RTP isn't the chipset.

EDIT: oh, now I see it, toward the bottom in the right.
Title:
Post by: neb87 on February 19, 2006, 05:24:07 AM
So is 7 the max and if it is can i replace ones that i made with ones that i think are better!!

Post by: Grandy on February 19, 2006, 11:57:21 AM
Well, I assumed when you said RTP, it meant Chipsets, since this is a MAP contest, not a Character contest. Even so, there's no RTP in this part of the screen, unless it can't be RTP styled, if so, then screw it.

Edit: Neb, seven isn't the max, go ahead and post as many as you want. I just didn't honestly expect anyone to post more then 7.

Bah, ready to start competing!? I have submitted two maps and that's just because my computer crashed. I want to have more time to start everything up again and make at least five more maps.
So another week I say we go for, more people will probably come and more maps from people that is already here.

The Pasar village like many others has their own temple where they store all the village's dark secrets away from public. But this one is special, it is said that it's guarded by some unknown force. As a tourist I dunno much about it.

Heres a few I whipped up recently.

This first one is part of a forest thats haunted by the spirits of all of the people you helped slaughter before the start of the game. Though it won't stay haunted the whole game. Hmm, now that I think about it, I never named the forest, thus hence forth, this forest will be known as 'Da haunted forest' dun dun dun...

http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e211/sryyxhad/screen6.png

And this is my church type thingy map. Its kinda meh, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to submit it, its the only inside map i've made since the contest started. I'll call it 'meh'. Meh is such a great word.
