FORUM COMPETITION IV

[Pain]

Wow, not too shabby there DragonDude. That there is one mighty fine volcano.

 

[Ravendust]

Nice map, DragonDude. Looks like it's nice and roomy, but good to look at too. My only crit is the lava texture, it looks like it's made of lasers and/or cherryade.

I finished one of my maps and started a second, but I have to withdraw. Good luck to everyone else entering.

 

[Damaera]

Map reminds me of Nameks_End except you can't fight in the volcano. Nice

 

[Pain]

Aww... Ravendust I'm sorry to hear that

But if you've already finished a map why not submit it anyway?

 

[Damaera]

Second that.

 

[Ravendust]

I'll probably release it on ESF-World or donate it to BTL or something. All because I was too stupid to bring the .rmf with me to university -_-

 

[]V[Goten]

HI
Expect a map from me too
I just hope i can finish it in time ... it's about 50 % completed
Just wondering...is it ok if i add a mini-clip preview of the map ?

 

[Pain]

If by mini-clip you mean a video, I don't see why not.
I just don't want people having their maps up for grabs in this thread, so go for it.

 

[]V[Goten]

ok thanxs ^^
and another thing... can i use 2 (or more) maps for the competition and you guys decide which one is best ?

 

[Pain]

Please re-read the first post in this thread. It has all the rules regarding how many maps you may submit and how they will be judged.

 

[imkongkong]

ohh man been busy with another project >_< gotta finish my maps up.. and i'll probably make another one, dragon's is looking pretty nifty.. can't lose!

 

[Cold Steel]

Should I remind everyone that time is running out =/ ?

 

[]V[Goten]

mine is 0% done but almost completed
i found out how to make everything i need to do(except how to compile a blasted model >_>) and now all i gotta do is...do it xD

 

[imkongkong]

water in hl = laggs and it suxors >_> soooooo i changed my map to.. esf_driedroshi!

*da da daaaaa*
"geeeepers batman what happened to roshi island???"
"i dont know robin.. it seems... it has dried up!!!"

screenies... and freakin lighting problems!! >_> gotta fix those... somehow

 

[DragonDude]

Not bad, Kong. Not bad at all. =)

The water's still giving you a tough time, though? =/
Try experimenting with the pitch of your light_environment entity; that might help you with the weird patches of lighting. You could also try a full VIS and extra RAD if you haven't already done that. They'll lengthen your compile time by a bit, but they've helped me in the past with similar problems.

 

[imkongkong]

yup i have both full vis and extra rad options turned on... maybe the bounce in my compile higher? it'll smoothen out the light more? hmm i'll move the pitch around again.. i tried moving it a few times >_< hmm what to do

 

[Pain]

One week notice to all contestants.

I should start getting PM's soon. Please do not wait untill the last minute, because if it is even one minute over, it will not be accepted.

 

[Damaera]

Can't think of anything. Suggestions are open.

 

[DragonDude]

Final screenies, I sent the submission to Pain about an hour ago.

The only really visible change is the lava texture, thanks for bringing that up, Ravendust. =)
This is the full compile, so you'll see it's a dark map. People don't like maps that are too bright, so I made a dark one. Heh.

And dReAm KiLlEr, you might want to hurry up and get an idea if you want to participate. You're running pretty low on time. D;

I'm also working on another map as an experiment. It may be finished by the deadline, it may not. I kinda did it as an afterthought.

yar, bad ass \o/
