Mapping Contest

[Revenant]

True, but I dont see any point in making a no CTF map rule. It should be up to the mapper whether they want to try to fit a ctf map into that space.

if some got good a ctf map in this size then he could be a part of this contest

[Psychcf]

maybe we should make two different divisions, a CTF branch and a DM branch...

yeah but good ctf are bigger then DM maps maybe we need some special rules(size) for ctf maps

[Psychcf]

Code: Select all

   <h1>Rules</h1>
   <ul>
      <li>Deathmatch Maps
         <ul>
            <li>Map must be under 2048 qu³</li>
            <li>Map must be under the GPL, NO proprietary content is allowed</li>
            <li>It must be in PK3 format, all custom content included, and having a mapcfg and txt file</li>
            <li>The gamemode must be Deathmatch</li>
            <li>Map must be under 10 Megabytes</li>
         </ul>
      </li>
      <li>CTF Maps
         <ul>
            <li>Map must be under ??? qu³</li>
            <li>Map must be under the GPL, NO proprietary content is allowed</li>
            <li>It must be in PK3 format, all custom content included, and having a mapcfg and txt file</li>
            <li>The gamemode must be CTF</li>

         </ul>
      </li>
   </ul>

Under 10 megs? thats not even a decent textureset..

[KadaverJack]

Not to mention that a size limit is pretty stupid imho, since it's rather hard to predict how large the bsp file will become...

[Psychcf]

I'll add more, but it's a storage limitation on my part. The most the limit can be is 50 megs. I'd say 15-20 megs is a reasonable size...

[tZork]

Why the hell would you need to host all the maps? (i assume thats what you are talking abt since it dosent make mutch sense otherwise)

Not to mention that a size limit is pretty stupid imho, since it's rather hard to predict how large the bsp file will become...

Indeed. The textures alone i made for this project is arround 60 megs, not that ill use em all ofc, but still. makes no sense what so ever to put a cap on filesizes.

[Strahlemann]

agreed. No cap on the filesize.

And i'd stick to the 2048³ contest idea. So no extra rules for ctf-maps.
There could be a "Make a ctf-map" contest, but that should be handled in an extra thread.
