1470 is a bit on the high side. i think general opinion around here is that wpoly should stay below 1000, if at all possible. if your polys only peak that high i one area, then it might not be too bad. but really, you should be attempting to bring them down to 1200 max, and even that's a bit high.

good luck getting it finished by sunday.

Depends on what you are aiming for mate - if you are making something to be visually stunning that is gonna suck for multiplayer regardless of polycounts (eg. my flatshaded map) then 1400 sounds ok, but if you want something to be playable on most people's computers then keep them below 1000 odd. Good luck in the contest [addsig]

Thx

I've been away from mapping for a while. But I always come back somehow

Worldcraft (now hammer... ) sure is the best editor around, IMO

If this will be the last HL mapping competition, then HL2 will be the next stage, right? That would be great. I'd love to map for HL2, HL's engine is getting a bit old...

HL2 will most likely the game this site centres around, but we are TRYING to make it more generic and accomodate other games. As the site owner (Leperous) seems to be drawn toward Doom 3 mapping, we will no doubt see decent site support for that too.

there must be lots of people around, probably like myself, who think they are decent enough mappers that can jump into the new hl2 or doom3 mapping scene. i think a few of us may be disappointed, and find our level of ability limits us to older, less complicated games, like half-life, or caesar3 even. i know valve have tried to keep a lot of editing stuff similar to what we're used to, but i doubt that it's more than some of the basics.

you can tell that i'm all worked up for this, can't you?

I'm terrified I won't be able to meet the rising standards of the level design industry, but at the same time I'm eager to get the opportunity to realise some of the ideas I had that did not fit the engine I'm currently working in.

EDIT: Actually, I watched the CS:Source video again today, and can safely say if the engine can make an extremely basic map like that version of Aztec look pretty tasty, it will be easy enough to pull out satisfactory visuals.

i just want to be able to build a huge dirt track level for the buggy, with lots of nice terrain generator generated mountains/tunnels. and maybe fill the roads with lots of little alien things that can get splatted. i'll be happy with that.

Fishy has the right idea. This is the first time we'll be able to play with proper physics and vehicles. I'll certainly be making maps where you can drive stuff off huge buildings and try to land on a crowd of people.

Will there be a map-pack of all the entries like the last competition?

I have another question, btw...

To submit a map, all it needs is the .bsp file? Or u want some readme.txt and/or source map?





Quote
 Re: el Competitione Thrẽad Officiale
Posted by Adam Hawkins on Fri Aug 6th at 2:44pm 2004

You don't need to release the source but a readme.txt is generally a standard inclusion, so that people who download your map know who made it. Also, if you use any non-standard wads, either wadinclude them or be sure to provide the wads with the bsp. Same goes for sound files and models [addsig]

If you want to release your source too, that's ok, people could learn from it. But it's not necessary for the compo, no.

You wouldn't know of any readme generators/templates, would u?

It would help me a lot

Map's not finished, probably won't even be tested, cuz I'll only be back tomorrow and won't be here on sunday. Hope to make it, though... I'll submit it anyway, just to take part in this competition

Cheers (should be beer, not popcorn )
