Seasons Contest

[Bikerdude]

Afternoon.

 

On my small contest map front, I have done all the basic build work (crypt, barracks, gnd/1st/2nd/3rd floors and outside) the map is based on a T2 beta mission that was never finished. The author gave me a copy of the latest version of the map and with his input I have tried to faithfully reconstruct the map to his original vision.

 

The build time thus far is 24hrs in 4x6hrs slots. I still don't know what season its supposed to be in at this point, winter is easy enough, but would prefer autumn but there isnt any resource for it (do we have falling leaves particle effect..?)

but would prefer autumn but there isnt any resource for it (do we have falling leaves particle effect..?)

 

I don't believe so, though that would probably be easy enough for someone familiar with particles. There is a fallen leaves decal though.

... but would prefer autumn but there isnt any resource for it (do we have falling leaves particle effect..?)

 

I think I used a modified "blood drops" particle rather convincingly. Untextured, but it looks nice in my low lit areas at least.

[Bikerdude]

@SH - it wouldn't be a surprise then...

 

@OCN - could you attach a copy of said particle effect..?

Think this might be it.

Hey man, don't rush too much, if you need an extension just ask

[Shadowhide]

extension is not fair

[nbohr1more]

At the risk of being redundant:

 

1) We have no way to know if any entrant has made their mission using pre-existing architecture.

2) We know that different mappers will have different amounts of free-time to build.

 

Given those factors, I have no qualms about the "fairness" of offering an extension.

 

I only ask that any extension request be public and that other mappers be given the opportunity to continue adding to their mission until the last requested extension date.

 

Obviously, we don't want to have a situation where extensions keep being requested so the hard cut-off date for extension requests will be May 25th. The furthest requested extension date (within reason) made on the 25th will be the last day for valid contest submissions.

 

[Bikerdude]

well I'm course for releasing in the next few weeks or at the latest by the deadline. So who do we have that needs more time..?

[Shadowhide]

1) We have no way to know if any entrant has made their mission using pre-existing architecture.

 

I build everything from scratch

 

PS

 

I make a good progress last day.Now I'm testing objectives while awating vocals from Mortem Desino

[nbohr1more]

Congrats on the progress and thanks for the updates.

[DeTeEff]

I don't see any needs for an extension for me neither...I will just keep harrassing my GF for the design details...

[Shadowhide]

I need to create another 4 conversations,then I can pack and betatest my mission...

[nbohr1more]

Alright!

 

Things are on schedule

[Shadowhide]

Just done briefing

Now my mission is completable.Size of final .pk4 will be around 9-11 megs

Still awaiting Mortem Desino with vocals....

[nbohr1more]

Congrats again!

 

Mortem's vocals will be worth the wait

[Bikerdude]

Regarding my map, I have done all the ar'd work - just placing all the Ai now... then to polish the readables.

[Jesps]

I'm pretty sure my map will also be ready within the contest time.

[nbohr1more]

This will be a great competition with Jesps and Biker on board.

 

The roster of participants, is top-notch even if it's a little less than we'd like to see.

 

Hopefully Moneyobie will chime in?

 

What about Midnight, did you ever get any chance to work on your mission?

Another small update, Most of the Ai and patrol routes have been placed. And unlike my previous Fm's it wont be that easy to get around. In fact its gonna be quite hard in places - he he he Gonna start polishing the readable's now and maybe knock up a briefing vid...

[nbohr1more]

Stepping up the game, eh Biker?

 

So if, Sotha's "Transaction" pushed much further into visual mastery...

 

Then perhaps this will be Biker's transcendent moment with game-play and AI mechanics?

 

(To artificially raise the stakes of the (competition \ rivalry) here )

 

Can't wait to see the results of your ever expanding repertoire Biker!

[Midnight]

What about Midnight, did you ever get any chance to work on your mission?

Sadly, I've only worked on the storyline so far, no real work in DR. I had hoped that I'd have the whole of May to work on this but it's looking like May is going to be just as busy as the last 2 months so I'm going to have to drop out of this current contest.

 

I may have a go at making this mission in future as I quite liked the simple story and theme I've got, but I have a couple other projects (non season related) that I'm more likely to get to first.
