no, I dont think that would be fair to the other contestants, this is a multiplayer map contest, im sure somebody with your skills could easily start and finish a map before february 1st 2008...

still hope you'll enter...

and Im looking forward to your almost finished map...

He said *not* nearly done. But I still agree that it wouldn't be fair.

Colormap/mesh creation is a mapmaking skill I lack completely, unfortunately. I love that this is happening though, and i'm looking forward to the results!

What about an RPG esque chain of maps that follows some unvetted to vetted wars though battle and eventually brings them to their induction in the Heron Guard?

That would be awesome. It would also be solo, and not applicable to this particular contest. You have any plans to make it?

Just a question about the map...When you say a "multiplayer map" dose that mean it has to be scripted so it's like a co-op or can it just be a generic map like Gimble?

'multiplayer' generally means a map where people compete against each other - e.g. a free-for-all or team map, not a solo or coop map.

hey all, I didn't expect so many people to sign up so quickly, I sorta figured there to be less than 10 mapmakers left... guess I was wrong...

so yea, I had to fix the site and add a nasty scrollbar, which causes some strange render bug in my firefox on the mac... I'll look into this later, the site should still work perfectly fine though...

good luck on your maps...

if you plan to create a mini site or webpage for your map make sure to link to it in your map info screen...

registration closes on the 5th of november,

good luck all...

So is the 'info' link next to the contestant name supposed to show something about their map? None of them seem to show anything but the contestants' names in another window.

it will show things like the name of the map, a short description, a download link for the map (this can of course also be used for a beta), and a link to website (with a larger map description and screenshots and stuff, which has to be hosted by the contestants themselves if wanted/needed)

as soon as a contestant added a download link for their map the plugin icon in the contestant list will light up and will be a direct download.

all this info has to be added by the contestants themselves... so if you're 1 of the people who signed up and you already started on your map, or already know what you'll be making, share some of this top secret info with us and add it to the site =)

Actually, I did sign up. I tried to add the name of my map in my info window on the site, but it didn't do anything - my info page is still just my name. Maybe it doesn't work right with my browser - will try another.

tested it with your specs, worked just fine, so I cant really help you, my advice wuld be to try a different browser...

(did notice some other small spacing issues in Firefox on PC, but thats all cosmetics, and Im not gonna fix that right now)

only 10 more days to go before registration closes!!!!

ghasts are so f**ing useless. They are as slow as thralls, as tough as archers and totally get owned by any melee units except maybe warriors and ghols.

soooo the registration has closed,

lets hope everybody who wanted to sign up did, and if not... well... they can always join another person who did sign up and make it a group project.

good luck to everybody, please update your project descriptions and names, and links to a project site or maybe even a beta of your map, so all of us can see what you're working on!!!

if there are any problems with the site let me know...

Dang, I didn't realize a map contest thread had been started in the tournaments section so didn't remember the registration deadline. \:\(

Just as well probably - this way I'll save time by not starting a map and not finishing it in time... though I might actually have finished one that didn't involve scripting...

Guess I'll wait till the next net map mapmaking contest... unless anyone needs the help of a passable colormapper/elevation-tweaker-extraordinaire.

I remember when power of ten started gizmo was very critical of mapmaking tournaments. Now here he is hosting one.

Zaknafein: I am always critical, and it had nothing to do with the contest itself, but the design of the site...

xgen: if you can get over 50% of the people who signed up to agree, I will make an exception, of course you'll have to work harder since some time has already passed...

does everyone agree?

I mean post here if you don't want me to enter. If one person says no I will not push the topic!

By the way does the map have to be a completely new mesh?

its not stated in the rules, so I guess not, I dont think your map will be voted the winner though if its not original...

...but we'll see...

...same here...

so yea I just messed up and pretty much destroyed the website by overwriting the site with an old backup, and the real backup is nowhere to be found...

meaning I'll have a good day of scripting ahead of me to restore things...

sorry about this...

Im sorry to do this but I have to put the contest on hold for 3 months... unless somebody else is willing to take over the project...

I was recently asked to go to africa for free for 70 days, I'll be leaving in 12 days and I dont have time to fix the site (lots of things I need to take care of before I leave).

so if somebody wants to take over there project (this pretty much means setting up a poll on the 1st of february, with the names of the people who uploaded their map at the tain) let me know...

im sorry to do this... but look at it from a positive angle, you now have 3 more months to finish your map!!!

if anybody is interested in reading about my africa trip: afrika.simplygiz.com
