I think unless its expressely forbidden by the contest, I'll be going with flatshaded anyway...I'm really drawn to it for some reason. So even if its something like Ben suggested, I'll be making an uber high polycount, open* and majestic*, marvellous* and unbeatable*, flatshaded map.

thats my sugestion


There aren't 8 default HL wads though [addsig]

/tries to erase dm_pulse rmf from ReNo's comp...

Heh I'd love to do another flat-shaded map myself as it was great fun working on dm_pulse - they just have a certain style to them that makes them appealing. I guess the next step is to use various different shades of the same colours in order to add more depth i.e Killer 7

I personally wouldn't enter a contest with limited textures. Not to be a spoil sport or anything but I know I wouldn't find it fun.

Half the fun of mapping to me is using the textures. Limiting to flat textures takes away half the fun, and atm I need all the fun HL1 can offer me because tbh it's losing its novelty and fun factor [addsig]

limited area; sounds good

limited textures; still not sold on it

limited r_speeds; i'll still spike over the limit, no matter what the limit is

what about a limit on brushes used?

i like CJ's idea of a partly made map, and everyone does there own interpretation of how it should be finished. it needs someone to submit the template though. any takers?

An r_speed limit is the most idiotic idea I've ever heard. Which fool came up with it?!

Any map which has popostously high r_speeds is going to run like s**t so is going to be s**t so won't win!

The doom 3 wads are pretty useless. They are hideously ugly textures without the specular effects on them. Its the engine which make them shine and reflect and look so lovely [addsig]

myrk, breathe, son, breeeathe.

your post reads like you are arguing with yourself

both paragraphs directly contradict each other

How about just limiting the map size/grid space?

The rest being up to the individual/team to decide what form the map takes?

If they want to limit their range of textures, then they can - and specify it in the readme as to what restrictions that set themselves (if any). The map could then be judged depending on how well the mapper has worked within their self-imposed limitations.

Exactly. Tis the best idea Dom't wanna make this last HL1 mapping contest boring or not fun to do. [addsig]

See I reckon if that had those UT2K3 textures from the gothic levels it would be very cool [addsig]

Hehe, you probably have a point I think its fun though, I've just started this, and it allows you to just throw things together and see if the geometry works, not spend ages picking textures to make it look spiffy. [addsig]

Yes I agree its very useful doing it that way, but there is a 2D untextured button in Hammer that will do the same thing [addsig]
