As promised, here is a chipset that’s Mac and Blue:
Rules: Using the chipset above, create the best possible map that you can. You can only use the chipset, and NO events, effects, or panoramas, unless told otherwise. Any exceptions will be noted below.
-The Map will be 320 X 240 pixels (Screenshot size). THERE IS NO CERTAIN TYPE OF MAP YOU NEED TO MAKE. If I post a forest chipset, you can feel free to make a desert. It’s up to YOU. Only one screenshot per person.
-You cannot, and shouldn’t, use a screenshot that already exists in your game. This means, that to enter the contest, the map you make should’ve been made after I made this post, not something that was already in your game before this post. What you do after the contest with this map, is completely up to you.
-The map can only be changed using RPG Maker 2003. No other image editors, such as paint, Photoshop, etc, are allowed after you have taken the screenshot. If I find out you edited your picture with something other than RPG Maker 2003, you’re out of the contest.
Exceptions: You may use any charasets you want. NOTHING ELSE.
This contest will go for five days, or until we have enough entries. Anyone can enter the contest, judges as well, though judges can't win prizes. Because people are already working on there games for the Game Making Contest, I'll probally have this open for a lot longer than the five said days. I don't expect this to have a real great turnout, but I've been badgered to make a new contest, so here it is :p
I normally start things off with a screenshot example, but I’ve been mostly working on my game at the moment and haven’t had the time to make maps that I won’t be able to use. Sorry.
So, begin!
~ Don’t know how to take screenshots? Here’s a tutorial:
In the upper right of your computer, you should notice a key that is called “Print Srcn”. Go into your game and play on the map that you want to take a screenshot of. Make sure your game is in full screen mode, and then press the “Print Srcn” key. Now, don’t do anything other than I tell you to right now. Close the game by pressing F12 and quit. Then, open MS Paint or any other image program. When it’s opened, press the Ctrl key and the V key at the same time. You should see an image of what you wanted to take a screenshot of. Next, make sure the screenshot is 320 x 240 pixels and hit save. Save your picture as a PNG file. After that, everything you need is done and you can host your map!

That's the purpose. To specifically make your eyes split in half.
Anyway... I'll wait until some other people get something done before I jump headfirst into this shallow body of water.

Not this time. I was planning on my nest contest to be another story one though.

Coffin looking thing, have you found another
way to overlap 2 of the same layers? Or is stuff like that aloud?
Post by: Bluhman on April 01, 2007, 09:54:11 PM
Post by: Vidian on April 01, 2007, 10:04:33 PM
In... Pretty much the first line of the contest rules it says
NO EVENTS
I was wondering if an event is aloud as long as its not
an Event Command
Post by: Vidian on April 01, 2007, 11:41:24 PM
Well,
with the Example showing events, I think I'll
Use them too, If they are not Permitted, Ill make a new one.
I, Like a forgotten legend, Have made a little story
to go with my Map too!
Immediately after exactly 13 seconds of looking, The Rich Brat Missy
Demands the Maids into her room, to search for the book she was reading last night: "Three The Hard Way"
With her Agitation increasing every second the book is not found.
Missy started throwing a tantrum making threats to the maids, Claiming she would have her Father, Lord Iranu III, Fire them both for being such Dolts.
Missy starts yelling so loud, One of the maids faint from the stress forced upon her eardrums. Missy's Otherworldly Screams were so terrible, The Book she was looking for couldn't even stand it and it hopped from the top of Missy's Bed (Which was exactly where she left it) Into Missy's Arms.
The Maid who fainted Died Shortly after, and the other one Quit, Fearing for her life.
(Haha, This Contest was fun)
Post by: Meiscool-2 on April 08, 2007, 07:14:15 PM
I'm kick starting this back up. Now that MrMister is gone, I'll need a new judge to replace him, so PM me if you want to be a judge. Because the game-making contest is about over and most people dropped out, I don't see why people wouldn't have a bit of time now to work on something that they probally won't ever use again :p.
So yeah, enter enter enter. Also, as an added bonus to this contest, if the winner impresses me enough, or if I get more than ten entries, I'll add some of my chipset edits and other things to the charas resources as an added treat to the community.
This'll go on for about another week, or a bit longer if I feel we need more entries. Join in!

I liked your last map/story contest. I liked it so much, I'll give you something to read!
A girl searches her papers for a lost homework assignment, a young child looks at the children's books, a man looks a some dusty books out in the open, the librarian organizes the non-fiction section and a funeral is being held in the private corner of the room. The widowed husband weeps in his chair, a nurse sits there, watching a small ladybug crawl around the casket. The Nun looks at the beautiful flowers sitting upon the casket, and the priest waits until the husband is ready to begin the ceremony.
"Why hold a funeral in a library?" the librarian said as she was asked permission to use the library for such purposes.
"It was her favorite place to be." said the now widowed husband.
And so the funeral began, with the husband's tears rolling down his old wrinkled cheeks.
Well, here is my entry!QuoteOriginally posted by Meiscool

Yay! I like these! I can't wait!

I like your map better then mine :)
(Edit: I think we could make a Thread for our own Custom Refmaps of the Mac and Blue chips, would that be a good Idea?)

Edit: Also, sorry for being retarded, but, about how big in dimensions (or does it matter) would a map be to fit the pixels mentioned?

EDIT: ...I'm guessing that nobody is noticing this topic since the last post was made on the 19th/30th. What ever happened to Darrellito's map?
