Competitions
page: 1
Hey guys, who's up for some map competitions? It's been a while since we've anything besides motm competetively, and I miss the fun maps people make for thematic competitions.

So, post if you have interest in making something for a competition, and/or post ideas for competitions. I have a few, but in the past my ideas have really sucked, so it's probably better to use someone else's theme.

And on an unrelated note, please check out http://www.panschk.de/mappage/forum/showthread.php?subforum=main&threadid=1034 if you haven't already.

Assymetrical maps?
2008, 10, 26 01:32
Those are really hard. You either try to make a really positionally imbalanced map, or try to make positionally different but balanced, which results largely in something unoriginal, and often less daring than a normal map concept. Alternatively, you can do things like in Fantasy, where you throw together 4 maps, but those ultimately end up quite imbalanced.

Assymetrical speedmapping :p

Assymetrical speedmapping with a neutral real base(all buildings P Z or T) as blocky things and make a nice theme

id sign up for any concept or idea tbh^^

tho i dont like p4evers idea and tha tmap picutre is just aweful

i think we could have a staredit competition where no scmdraft allowed, meaning symmetry will be alot harder also encouring ppl to make the mirror like in ParanoidAndroid where scmdraft cant do the job. also no custom bridges or ramps no reverse ramps no unplaceable doodads or anything like that.

ofcourse we could have more of a map contest concept saying example a certain terrain is only allowed or no vespine gas in the main allowed etc.

these things r very fun ^^

i'd love to see a staredit competition.
2008, 10, 29 06:03
oh god, not staredit! anything but that!

also, pa symmetry maps tend to be terrible, but interesting, I'd really like to focus on making really good maps that we can give to tsl admins to consider using for tsl2... Plexa told me to come up with a list of the best maps like a month ago, but I really haven't found anything, all of the "great" maps of the past really have no redeemable concept, with exceptions, but the exceptions still need remade.

hm what would you guys think about a "fix an old map" competition? I'll make a list of maps, and we can either assign them randomly, or let people pick which one to make, something like that etc. Or I can let you guys find your own map if I approve of the map.

"fix an old map" if u list up the maps its gonna be a competition just to be first to choose the best concept map with worst execution.

imo i think we could build up in 2 and 2 teams where 1 buddy says the concept and the other one builds mindless, like team melee ^^
