Mapping Contest

[Psychcf]

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)

The script has a file uploader built into it when you submit your map. I have 2GB of space on my webserver - about 750MB of my crap. I don't want that getting too filled up. If we hosted it on another server, that would be a different story.

even then it's kind of dumb to not have a size limit. if the contest is to encourage mappers to make really awesome maps, it has to have reasonable download times.

Its too hard to predict how large your map will become, and I dont want to see people end up scrapping maps after lots of work just because its over the size limit.

Besides.. when did we decide that ever map has to be uploaded on your webserver?

[Psychcf]

allright, no size limit. just make it reasonable.

Rules

* Deathmatch Maps
o Map must be under 2048 qu³
o Map must be under the GPL, NO proprietary content is allowed
o It must be in PK3 format, all custom content included, and having a mapcfg and txt file
o The gamemode must be Deathmatch
o Map must have a reasonable pk3 size
* CTF Maps
o Map must be under ??? qu³
o Map must be under the GPL, NO proprietary content is allowed
o It must be in PK3 format, all custom content included, and having a mapcfg and txt file
o The gamemode must be CTF
o Map must have a reasonable pk3 size

I'd say, cut it down to:

• Map must be under 2048 qu³
• Map must be under the GPL, NO proprietary content is allowed
• It must be in PK3 format, all custom content included, and having a mapcfg and txt file

I don't see any reaon for limiting it gamemode to deathmatch (there are more gamemodes than dm & ctf btw ) and like Strahlemann suggested, there should be a seperate contest for ctf, some later time...

Are we allowed to make some alpha's and test em for gameplay with some friends or are we not allowed to show our maps to anybody at all until the due date?

[Psychcf]

well, I was kidding by that comment, but I'd say as long as those friends are not judges or mappers then no problem

[Revenant]

And by friends, I mean going by the IRC channel and asking people there. Is that acceptible?
