[BARTUC]

Hi all
i want to suggest you a map contest with some awards about a 50 brush map contest.
Computercenters and Naxan project want to put up for grabs the following awards :

- razer abyssus for the first



- razer deathadder for the second



- roccat taito



If you are interested in this contest post in this thread, the contest start march the 1st.
Soon i will post the rule book about the contest.
Remember only 50 brush

Ps : if you have suggestion please post or contact through email .... and sorry for my english

I think this limitation is very interesting because it will help people who make too large and too complicated maps.
(I'm kind of talking about myself here)
Also I can't imagine any 50 brush map having performance problems...
One question I have is by beginning on March 1st, is that the deadline for maps?
If it's not the deadline for entries, what does it signify.. will there be a theme or some such released on this date?
Also, if it's not the deadline for entries, when is the deadline?
...
Some of the most popular maps for Nexuiz have very few brushes in them, but I'm not sure how few. I may go and get brush counts from a few of the simpler maps and post the results here. It does occur to me that this might be an unfeasibly small amount. But maybe that's just because I usually put far too many in.
One more question I have just thought of is: what about models?
Are they allowed, and if so what about maps that are entirely constructed from them?

[C.Brutail]

Imho models as constructive elements in this contest would be cheating.
I think I'll hop in too

[Rad Ished]

Yeh im with you on that count CB, just wanted it verified though.
...
o.O prizes look nice too.

Ok, so i somehow need to allocate time to create a 50 brush map

[BARTUC]

Ok, i have to answer at some question about the contest... let's start.

One question I have is by beginning on March 1st, is that the deadline for maps?

Well the first day of march start the time to post map on this forum
From the seven of marh start the vote for chosing the winner
I've decide to post now the idea for this contest for giving some time at all mapper to try to make some test map with only 50 brush ... is real difficult to make one.
So ... you have one week to present your map and after the 7 of march one week for voting

Also, if it's not the deadline for entries, when is the deadline?

The seven of march is the deadline to post your map

One more question I have just thought of is: what about models?

The models problem is a quite problem i tried to resolve in this way :
you can use any kind of model you want but only for object .... so you are not allowed to use model for :

- door
- wall
- stairs
- windows
- coloumn
- arch
- floor
- trims and any kind of support
- any part of the layout of your map

If you want to put an object like :

- container
- lamp
- table or chair
- boxes
- any kind of object in yuor mind

you are are free to use.
In this way any mapper can make nice work.

Any other question ??
I hope to be clear

- container
- lamp
- table or chair
- boxes
- any kind of object in yuor mind

Do each of these count as a 'brush'?
BTW, count me in

You should specify a game-type, as making a decent Nexball or Race map with only 50 brushes is easy, while attempting an Assault map wouldn't yield as good of a result.

right, the contest is based on classic deathmatch map, you can insert any kind of gametype do you want but is a dm based contest.

- container
- lamp
- table or chair
- boxes
- any kind of object in yuor mind

No, if you want to use models for objects you are free to use it, the will not post in the final count of brush.

[tZork]

say no to models. the whole idea if a limits brush contest is to do more with less. map models screw that up.
