This mapping event is all about two people working together to build a small Deathmatch map, using one set of textures each. Only one of the team members needs to know how to use Doom Builder 2/GZDoom Builder, in which case, the other person would draw areas that go in the map (with pencil and paper, or Paint, or whatever tool is better).
The goal of this mapping event is threefold: to allow a chance for the Proto Man medal outside of just October and December, to create a pack of small maps by and for the community, and to have fun, of course.
That said, there are some guidelines to follow:
1. The size of the map must not exceed 3072x3072 units in playable area space. Use Skulltag (Doom in Hexen) or UDMF as preferred. Should be built towards Deathmatch.
2. Before creating the map, each participant in a duo must select a texture set. Create the map using these two texture sets. A third one is allowed if both members agree on it. Skyboxes have no texture limit. Also, you don’t need to use all the textures in your sets chosen.
3. Because of having to determine how many texture sets were used, and as much as I like custom textures, they cannot be allowed for this event. Though if successful, the pack will definitely allow them. To be specific, no custom anything other than music is allowed.
4. To have some variety in looks, textures may not be repeated more than three (3) times across teams. For example, if three teams have Bomb textures in their chosen sets, Bomb textures cannot be used by a fourth team.
5. Evidence must be provided by each duo of participants that there was a more or less equal amount of work done. Words are cheap, so a screenshot of the map wireframe identifying who did which area should be good enough.
6. We reserve the right to refuse maps that aren’t up to snuff, although this probably shouldn’t be happening.
7. Entries will be accepted until July 35, 2014, meaning you all have three weeks!... almost. I won't be accepting things at the very last minute, so be fairly diligent.
8. Because there's no telling for real if partners outside the forum exist, please pair up with someone from the forums. Anybody could easily make an excuse and say they're teaming up with someone who's not a forum member, and actually be doing a map by themselves. Can't have that, sorry.
As said before, all accepted entries will receive the MM8BDM Extender medal! (http://cutstuff.net/forum/images/medals/badge2.gif)
This is not a competition, but we will still be judging for the best map overall, and the winners will get to name the map pack. If the event is successful enough to make said pack, that is! Within limitations, such as lewd stuff not being allowed. Finally, the judges for that small aspect will be King Dumb, SickSadWorld and myself, but all map submissions go in my PM Inbox, so send them that way.
