SBWT Mapping Competition (Winner Results!)

[Beed28]

Sooo... what's going on now? When will we get to try out the maps everyone did?

[TheDoc]

Probably v3b?

[ZeStopper]

Yeah I think so, but it's going to take some time for that to come out.

[Linnie]

I dunno, I would've thought it would be simpler to get the maps out now for voting, deciding on a winner, then putting the winning maps in V3b.

They'll do an online playtest session before map voting.

Playtesting will occur for this weekend.

Yeah, that's what I meant, sorry for wording it oddly.

Playtesting will occur for this weekend.

Good to hear, I look forward to it.

Hey all you Mega Man fans! You ready to hear details about the competition?

Cool, because I sure am! Due to an annoying week of making all these maps work together in one package, mostly textures and all.
The testing will be done this Sunday at 11:00 AM PST (or 1PM or 2PM in the timezones that a bulk of the community live in). Unlike the CTF Compo, there will be no mappers only testing, as DM needs people and some of the people who mapped will not be around to get a decent number of people.

A Skype chat will also be available for the mappers for voice chatting, talking about the competition and for receiving the download link sooner than the public so you guys get first claim to getting into the server before it fills up. If you don't have Skype, then that's fine n dandy as well. Just let me know and I'll provide the download link via PM instead.

Otherwise, the link will be posted in this thread on the front page. There is no plans for myself to record any footage (because my computer sucks too much to do online and record), but anyone else is more than welcomed to record compo footage.


Gameplay Info:
24 players max (not including spectators)
30 Frags
Deathmatch


Now how is judging going to work for this thing? There won't be voting per say, we're trying something different this time. In the evening of Sunday, I will be creating 4 threads for each category. The public will be allowed to vote in it and post any comments they wish. This will be opened for one week at max, but can close sooner depending on if voting and opinions on the maps die down enough. Afterwards, the MM8BDM Dev Team will discuss the voting to decide which maps get in. In the event this explodes into hell, then voting will be solely in Mike and my hands.

So any questions? Comments? Concerns? If so let me know, if not see you Sunday.

[Magnet Dood]

Yeah, I've got a question.

How will servers work if no MM8BDM servers are able to appear due to Doomseeker switching over to the new version of Zandronum?

[Linnie]

Yeah, I've got a question.

How will servers work if no MM8BDM servers are able to appear due to Doomseeker switching over to the new version of Zandronum?

I thought newly hosted servers can be seen, like that Hotel server that bans you for using Flash Stopper.

[Ivory]

MM8BDM is not officially moving over to the new Zandronum until v3b, the servers will remain in Version 1.0. So just use the older doomseeker? Mess will be hosting the server fyi. Alternately, the more annoying method would be to provide the IP here and use MM8BDM's manual connector. I'll talk to Mess in the morning to figure this out.

A Skype chat will also be available for the mappers for voice chatting

yes

and for receiving the download link sooner than the public

YES

anyone else is more than welcomed to record compo footage.

YEEEESSSS


I've personally been gone all week as part of advanced job training, but Sunday at 2PM is literally the most optimal testing time I could have ever wished for. I'm going to love blasting you guys to bits... and expect a special stream for the event!

Good luck to everyone who entered (including me)!

[Linnie]

I can't find a link to the map pack. What do I do?

[SmashTheEchidna]

...Wait, I suppose. To my understanding, the mappers get first banana.
