To heighten awareness of proper packaging and some other neat features that have been added to the game, such as divVerent's radar system, Nexuiz Ninjaz is hosting a Repackage, Remake, Reinspire Mapping Contest.

We're putting a big emphasis on the proper packaging of maps, including the new .mapinfo, map pictures, bot waypoints and radar pictures but we're always focusing on 5 other dimensions. Textures, Sounds, Music, Item Placement and Flow. This mapping contest is like none you've ever seen!

PRIZES will be awarded to the top 3 contestants.

Please read this thread in it's entirety for details.

Nice to see such efforts! I think that's what we need now what some of us has already mentioned: quality media for the quality code!

As for myself, I won't take part... sorry. I'm a judge

Judges can still participate but they are ineligible for prizes. I have a few maps in mind I plan on updating / remixing . Thanks for the kind words.

[Sepelio]

Hmm since its three months I may well enter. I have plenty of maps that need updating too!

[C.Brutail]

Hmm... this opens a new perspective
However, I think I'll help you mappers in other ways

[Mirio]

i'm not a mapper , so can i judge maps? e.g. gameplay,weapon placement etc.

What type of mode is it, I couldn't find it (or missed it)? Or can you choose yourself? Also with 'flow' do you mean gameplay? Cause if so gameplay varies for instance from a DM to TDM to CTF etc.

Would be perfect if the content would be released under GPL so it could be included in official Nexuiz.

Sorry Mirio, the Five judges have already been picked. However, you can express your opinions in #nn.contest as the maps come out. We'll also have a "people's choice award" that I haven't mentioned in the post.

Any modes you want. Flow is described in the news post on NN. It does vary map to map and will probably be one of the hardest things to judge but between the 5 judges, I think we'll be able to come to a fair balance on the points earned.

This is really up to the mappers but yes, it would be nice.



I'm hoping some fun classics will be improved or otherwise fixed. However, this contest is not limited to just remaking, remixing or otherwise improving maps. Mappers may create a map from scratch.

THE EMPHASIS is on proper packaging.

Also, you can collaborate with other players and divide the points .
