I'm finishing up my map for the Mapcore contest just now so I won't get a chance to make the starting map until after that is done. Deadline is April 30th (Monday) so it's not too long, but if anybody else wants to have a crack at it instead then be my guest <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

On this topic, what are you looking for in a starting map. Something really simple - just a rough layout of a central area using dev textures or something, letting other people extend both the layout and add in their own theme / detail / lighting? Or would you prefer something that sets the style and theme? Or a full layout with no detail?

Really, it just needs something to set the first part of the map...

so really a simple layout with no lighting/etc with dev textures would work just as well as a plain map that sets the starting theme

so really, It'd be up to you (or whoever takes it up instead) as to what kind of starting map.


Although, if I was making the starting map, I'd prolly do a rough layout with dev textures

I think a simple start to a map would be nice, dev textures and blocky shapes, not necessarily any lighting. Then the contest and voting could be on creating a setting and theme for it in addition to expanding on it in fun and awesome ways.

I still think a single-player map would have better and more interesting results than a deathmatch map, btw. Nobody else has stated a preference, maybe "SP vs DM" should be put to a vote? (perhaps with a 'only vote if you are going to participate' stipulation)

Well, I'm losing power on the 10th for 15 days to 2 months, so You'll have plenty of time to discuss it amongst yourselves and get it started
