Personally, i like a map where you need to use some tactics. NOBODY uses the smoke grenade and ive found it deadly efficent in creating little surprises. [addsig]

limited wads= 8 wads, no customs, original half life
limited area=bout 1/4 of the grid [whatever that is in units]
limited r-speeds=1000

thats my sugestion


There aren't 8 default HL wads though

guess he means individual textures.

Genious is probably including the illegal WADs. as there are about that 8 of them. However the only valid ones are halflife.wad; xeno.wad; liquids.wad; and decals.wad. There is also font, spraypaint and a few others too.

Only one of use in general is hl.wad, with liquids.wad being kinda handy when you need liquid, I suppose I never use decals these days, for some reason. [addsig]

I still support some sort of limited, low-detail textures architecture type competition. Too much focus is on textures these days; not nearly enough on decent architecture or attractive lighting. The brief "detail texture" craze also contibuted to this, having people believe that detail textures are some sort of magical solution that makes any map look good.

We definately need more limits though. If there's no restrictions or rules, then it's not really much of a unique contest, now is it? Then it's just a "hey everyone let's make some maps and compare them", which is what we usually do anyway.

A small-scale contest with a few textures and a few rooms per map will encourage a short development time and more entries. A contest with just, say, a size restriction, will probably lead to larger grandoise projects that never get completed. Or at least that's how I would approach it.

I still think texture limits would be ideal - we have had two great contests here in the past and both came up with cool maps that adhered to the theme, and I think we would find the exact same happening here. Why not try something different, something away from the norm? Limited textures forces you into a new and creative style of mapping, which is surely going to be a challenge for everyone, and a bit of fun. Keep the map size reasonably low and most active mappers should have time enough to participate. [addsig]

I'm really liking the way that is turning out so far. It's pretty simplistic, yet the architecture really does speak for itself.

/me dusts off Hammer and gives it a whirl


IN NO WAY IS THIS CARCASTIC AT ALL EVER IN A WAY. [addsig]
