I might be able to do both of those Goldwell and Melan. Depends on the whole timezone offset for when you make them available. I tend to see you guys posting stuff at 2 to 3AM EST

so I would miss the window there. Pretty amazing you would even have time for a beta!!!

Awesome, i'll pm you when it's ready.. I'd say the map is about 90% complete so far so a beta test tonight could be possible :)

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

Dressing the set. New music in place. Prolly no fancy briefing, since there's no time to do one.

 

Starting objectives.

 

Hope I make it. Halloween is my better half's birthday, and my daughter has something planned, and I don't know what it is or how big a hit my contest entry will take. And to top it off, my better half gave me a big (surprise!) project to do for her class of little ones. Due Sunday.

 

Yikes!

Since it's so down-to-the-wire, unless the other mappers agree to deadline extension terms, I think the next best thing is to

disqualify the late entrants but calculate their scores anyway so that folks can see how they would've ranked had they been

able to meet the deadline.

 

Then we get the best of both worlds.

 

The folks who stuck within the deadline can reap the glory and those who didn't can still know whether they would've ranked highly or won.

 

If someone gets angry, we can have a mapping showdown\duel to settle the score!!! :)

Yes, quite. Just because you can't make the deadline, you shouldn't give up on completing your entry! Remember, it is a two-week contest. Two weeks' worth of time is not much!

 

demagogue: It is a formidable idea, and I wish I could play it. Subscribed!

Murphy's Law has struck.

 

Just when I was starting to feel good again about making tomorrow's deadline, my graphics card has begun glitching on me. (Little black squares everywhere, NVIDIA driver experienced a problem and recovered on its own, blah blah blah. 3 times in the past 30 mins.)

 

All attempts at updating drivers have hit a dead end.

 

Will struggle through, but don't want to be distracted too much.

Didnt we solve the GFX card issue with that PC a while ago..? in any even if it does crap out and its needs finishing drop me a PM.

 

I haven't had a graphics issue until tonight.

 

You looked at the sound card I'm using, and recommended an upgrade. I have the new card, but haven't installed it yet.

grayman: Better late than never! Why this contest matters is that we have a bunch of small missions to play, and because we can show people (again) that it is possible to do missions like these in a small timeframe. :)

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
