"Show some Love for CTF" {Voting Closed: Results Are In!}

[fortegigasgospel]

I hope I will have some time, cause I dont know how to make a map.

I will participate conditional.

Can someone explain me what this rules mean: (there is a <- this)

•You must sign up before submitting a map.
•You may only submit one map and one map only.
•All maps must be under 6000 x 9000 units. (Wide and Across)
•There must be at least 3 paths to the flag <- this
•2 Team CTF only <- this
•1 Flag CTF must be supported <- this
•Stages must be symmetrical
•Recolored textures are allowed, but no custom textures
•Custom Music is optional, but will not be judged
•No new actors or weapons
•Also take heed to the taboo weapon list below

•There must be at least 3 paths to the flag = Ivory explained this, there must be at least three paths from one end of the map to the other.
•2 Team CTF only = 8bitDM supports up to 4 team CTF.  These maps will be going into the Vanilla game so they want to keep it classic 2 teams.
•1 Flag CTF must be supported = Doom supports 1 flag CTF, which is a special CTF mode where you must bring the white flag to the other teams flag to score a point.  The white flag is often to be put into the middle of the map.


Also, there is one issue I see with this mapping competition and thats none of the submitted maps will be including any of the MM8 stuff being added to the expansion.  But thats not too big of a deal.

[...stuff...]

Nope. No splitting medals between two people. By that logic, anyone who had "help" could do the same.

Themes are free to be anything, so long as it uses vanilla textures and I would prefer it to be unique from the current maps. And yes, Megamanish is a good bonus.

Generally, you don't want 64 unit platforms over death areas. That's why Edge of the Dam v1 sucked so much. I suggest keeping platforms at least 128x128 (or 4 blizzard blocks). I'm not sure how big those boats are off the top of my head.

@fortegigasgospel

Yeah, I know. That will be problem. But I'll give the chance to all mappers that get maps in to update them with MM8 content if they so desire. My MMCTF10 had the same problem with lacking non-freeze cracker mm7 content.

Ok biting after some depression

Me (I DID ALL THE WORK) and BB (HE'LL GET THE MEDALS LOL) will enter

put BB's name on the front page too we come as a pair!!

[Hallan Parva]

alright new plan

HD give me the medal if you want to live

[HD_]

If I win Smash gets the medals, mostly because I don't care to have my avatar share a space with them.

[Ivory]

It doesn't work that way, get over it. If you want SmashBro to get the medals, he has to be the one who entered. Not HD.

[Hallan Parva]

If I "enter" but HD makes the map do I still win?

[Ivory]

I would prefer the contestants map it themselves, but it's unrealistic. I have no way to prove or disapprove if someone did get help or didn't make the map themselves. That's why I'm allowing help to occur. The person who signed up is the one who would be rewarded the medals. So yes, if HD makes the map, and allows you to submit it. It's going to be your submission, not HD's. I wouldn't invalidate it and if you get accepted / win, you would earn the medals, and not HD. It's only fair, I can't allow contestant to do something and deny the others of the same privileges.

On another note, this filled up more than I thought it was. I may decide to close submissions at 30. 30 is a lot of CTF maps to judge.

[HD_]

So, then technically, I can submit two maps by submitting one in my name and one in Smash's?

On a more serious note, I will allow Smash to submit the map.

[Hallan Parva]

ALRIGHT

THANKS IVORY

okay HD new plan, you drop out now okay

also I sign up to do maps on my own totally with no help whatsoever u jelly



EDIT: ninja'd by HD, yeah do what he says

[Knux]

Just a question: how are we to post progress? By pictures, or do we PM maps or something? Or do we send the map once it's done?

[Korby]

Personally, I think showing progress is up to the creator of the map, and it should probably be done in the hijacked screenshots topic.

[Knux]

Well, what I meant actually was for things like feedback and such. And since you guys will most probably end up asking to change stuff anyway, why not post some progress for opinions? I thought it was legit to do it in this topic since I was signed up and all.

[Korby]

I've already asked Ivory if I'm allowed to ask for feedback from him and he said it'd be cheating, but asking people who won't be "judges" would be fine.

[SaviorSword]

Whose gonna judge'em? CMM and Rose again? Secert ballot? Korby, Ivory, and CMM?
