I feel really burnt out on my current FM so taking a break to build a little halloween map should be fun. I will probably only use the prefabs that come with the game and one custom model. Other than that it will be all TDM assets.

I've started building on a mission. Contest entry or not, it's gonna be a horror map!

 

Offtopic: I believe you had another mission that you were showing off in the "what are you working on thread" how is that coming along?

 

edit: oops sorry I thought that was you but it was actually sir taffsalot haha my bad :)

Looks like this as picked-up with Goldwell and Fieldmedic... and possible Melan and buck28!!!

 

I started this one in August for this contest if it counts. It's certainly not a speed build (2to3 weeks). I'm hoping it will be done by 10-31. It should be however. :D

So if the August to October time frame counts, I'm in.

Will try to find some time for it. I have an idea for a horrer themed story in my head for quite a while which I would like to implement, but I never shaped it out. So I don't know if I could squeze it into a small mission.

 

We'll see.

Well, I have started building. Doesn't mean it will be finished in time, but at least it is something. :)

Come the time of peril, did the ground gape, and did the dead rest unquiet 'gainst us. Our bands of iron and hammers of stone prevailed not, and some did doubt the Builder's plan. But the seals held strong, and the few did triumph, and the doubters were lain into the foundations of the new sanctum. -- Collected letters of the Smith-in-Exile, Civitas Approved

It is almost impossible for me to make the finish line by the cutoff date. Mission will be built no matter what, though.

I'm mainly working on my big project posted in my mapping thread. Whether I will make a mission for helloween, I'll decide when the time arrives. But if I do it will be a small mission anyways. Let's see.

I've taken a break from working on The Accountant 2 and now i'm going to try and speed build a small FM for the Halloween contest. My current goal is to have it completed before Halloween but who knows.

I'm in the process of Beta testing right now. What is the official contest, release date? If any.

When would you like to have them in, and who is going to judge them? Just curious, never

done a contest before. Cheers. :huh:

The last one was set to end October 31st Pacific Time US. We encourage participants to release at least one day

before the end so that the mission can be enjoyed on Halloween.

 

Also, if you are sure that you will make it to the deadline (or fairly close) but wont have the mission available till the end,

it would be great if you could provide high-quality screen-shots so we can promote this at Moddb.

 

If you can't make the deadline but might be able to release shortly after, you can appeal to your fellow mappers for a time extension.

Any time extension will be extended to all participants so entrants can re-release their missions with fixes and enhancements before

the new deadline.

 

The judging is done by the community, you add a poll at the top of your mission with 3 criteria: Theme, Aesthetics and Story, Gameplay

with 1 to 5 stars. Theme's are weighted once, Aesthetics and Story twice, and Gameplay three times (I usually do the calculations once

the voting period ends.)

Cheers. :)

@Nbohr1more Have you had any other contestants message in their entries yet?

 

For me personally i'm going to try my hardest to get it in by the 30th but i'm still not sure if its possible yet.

Sorry, nobody has chimed-in outside this thread as a participant. If its down to you two, that's still two new missions for the holiday and Fieldmedic along with Melan will have a few more to play not too long after I believe. Not too shabby for something I thought had died in committee ;)

My mission is kinda languishing at an early stage because I got lost in IRL work, and this will not improve significantly until December. But if there are two contestants, that means there can be a contest. Bring it on! :)

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.
