<center><i>For all those people who have missed it... It's time for a Mapping Competition once again!</i></center>

That's right folks, a Mapping Competition! In this mapping competition is going to be a little different though. Most of you are used creating Dragonball Z maps, such as the cell games, Korin's tower, Planet namek, and so on! But this time, the Mapping Theme will be to create a Dragonball map! Not DragonballZ, or Dragonball GT, but Dragonball!

First, there is a Max Wpoly / Epoly limit, which are:
- Max Wpoly: 2000 (<i>1800 if possible</i>)
- Max Epoly: 8000

All those who enters the Mapping Competition have to follow these important rules!

- No Ripping from other maps / mods.
- Only allowed to use things from the default ESF / Open Beta Maps or your own creations
- Teaming up with other mappers or modelers is allowed.

If you all follow these rules, you'll be just fine! Those who breaks these rules, his / her map will be rejected, and is not allowed to make any more maps for the competition. So, think before you are going to break the rules .

Oh and thank you very much for hosting this, I really appreaciate it, been wanting to enter in a mapping competition ever since I started! ^^

Lets get it started! Donnie, you up for a team effort?

I'd enter if i knew how to map....

Good luck to those that enter.

Yeah guys, come on, everyone who can map should enter! Do not pass this up!

MMm sounds delicious. MAybe i should get back on the mapping sadel. Kinda rusty from those noobish maps i made long time ago.........still never actually made or released a map.

1. Goku's House in the Forest
2. Kame House on the large island with Milk Delivery Route and that Large Mountain with a shrine on top.
3. MUSCLE TOWER
4. Base of the Red Ribbon Army surrounded by Icy mountains.
5. Korin's Tower from the base. Should lead up to the tower.
6. Koris Tower at the bottom of a map and should lead up to Kame's lookout.
7. Emperor Pilaf's Castle that was wrecked by Oozaaru Goku. No battle damaged one. Just the whole one.
8. World Martial Arts Tournament DB style. (Smaller Ring.) No children's arena.

SSmike31, I doubt you'll be able to set everything up and make a map before 15th of June, unless already have some mapping experience, but you don't know what wpoly and epoly, well all I can say is good luck!

Modeller at your service donnie . YAY 4 in 1 team ^^

Funny that Muscle Tower was mentioned, i've got an old WIP Muscle Tower map somewhere. It was to-scale too but you couldn't go inside it (lots of hollow cylinders for 2000 wpoly = no way) and the carve tool made it worse. Sure it was a lump of rock with many sides but it didn't look too bad and it had the fortifications at the top.

I gave up because I didn't know how to make terrain or texture =P

Those maps from competition, will it be possible to download them and use them in ESFgame?

they probably will, the winner will be in openbeta and maybe 1.3 if it's good enough, the other maps that don't win might also be, depends if the creator of the map wants to release it to the public.

Any of you has submitted a map yet? It's only about 9 days left.
