[a cute compo] FINISH THAT MAP 2: RETURN OF JAFAR - FINISHED

[Hallan Parva]

Hey there all you Mega Man fans! Are you ready for the next hot and exciting community event!?





That's right, it's not dead! Finish That Map survived the explosion and came back for revenge!
(Download the map fragments here!)

What does this mean? For this mapping competition I provide everyone a wad containing the above layout pieces. Your goal is to finish the map while making use of the provided sections. Of course, the sections have to be on the map or your entry is null. It will be interesting to see different takes on the same pieces of level. This level has no default music, no textures whatsoever or anything other than the layout itself.

YO NERDS THE DEADLINE'S JANUARY 17 2015 SO GET CRACKIN'

wait what the heck you never even explained this to me

Maps should be designed for both Deathmatch and Last Man Standing. Weapon and item placement is important, but at the same time you should avoid noticeable buster walls and hiding spots.
Custom music is (of course) allowed, encouraged even, but will not be included with judging.
Custom textures are legal, but again, will not be taken into consideration as far as judging goes.
Same goes for custom props (both stage decoration and "action props" like platforms).
No custom weapons or items. Don't worry, it breaks my heart, too.
Help is allowed, though for medal-related purposes a primary mapper needs to be indicated.

so what's allowed and what's illegal in 47 countries

You can build onto the map however you wish. The map would be pretty lame if you didn't add things to it.
You can position the three map fragments provided in whatever way you please. Slide 'em around, rotate some, even have pieces slightly overlap like that weirdo standing by the snack bar who just spends all his time stacking cheese cubes into little cheese towers. Ech, that guy creeps me out.
Speaking of which, you're also allowed to alter the dimensions of each piece. Stretch walls, make certain platforms wider, make certain other platforms skinnier, raise and lower elevations. As long as each piece still resembles its original form, it's fair game.
Feel free to decorate the map pieces! Add pathways, props, little indents in the floor. You can also add 3D Floor areas above (or below!) each fragment, but again, it has to resemble its original form in some way.
You can't delete stage architecture already provided by the fragments. You also can't exclude any fragment from the finished map's playable area; everything has to be connected and accessible during normal gameplay.
No, you cannot remove those null pillars. Work around them or something.

alright now tell me how I'm supposed to win

When your map is finished, slap that pie in the oven and send it to Dr. Freeman via Cutmail. Be sure to prefix your letter with [FTM 2] so we can keep everything sorted out!
Once the deadline passes, two servers will be thrown up for playtesting: one for Deathmatch, and one for Stock LMS. Everyone then votes on their favorite maps by sending a PM to King Dumb. (More details on voting will be given at a later date.)
In addition to the community votes, there is also a panel of judges who will be giving their own input on each stage. Neither myself or Dr. Freeman are judges. We're both running the show, but we also want to enter ourselves, have a bit of fun with it.
Winners are determined by being the most popular among the community, snagging the high score amongst the judging panel, and dominating the competition with the highest combined score among the judges and the community.

Impress everyone! Make CutmanMike cry! Score the highest overall to win Cutstuff Architect!
Not the absolute best, but still way better than the rest! Win in either community votes or judge votes and snag Architect Runner-Up!


Well? What are you waiting for? Download those map fragments and slap together some fancy geometry or something!
