Quote from SpherixIf you want new stuff; are new game-modes actually something you want people to look into, or just new themes/maps? If gameplay is a yes: is Vscript or LUA etc. supported?
I'll check with the devs and get back to you, however I think they want people to focus on the base game modes for now.
Personally though, I think custom game modes would be awesome 
Quote from spenceThose are some really nice prizes for the winner!
As someone who worked on this project as a designer through the early stages, I have one piece of advice to anyone entering: go wild with the theme of your entry!
As a small team we were relatively limited in the range of environments that could be created, but as a lone designer (or a small team focusing on one map), you have no such restrictions aside from the time limit!

Quote from VilhamI would love to make a map, but don't think I have the time tbh. These competitions always come at the least opportune times.
Quote from dux8 weeks is a bit slim in my opinion to make a really good map for a game such as Ins.
Quote from SpherixI haven't a clue how the game even plays. Are close quarter maps a thing? I don't see how anyone could produce proper value in that timespan if we're concerning mapsized similar to csgo
I would love to and I miss the time I was working with you guys
Quote from LATTEHDamn it the chivalry contest is ending and this sounds awesome. I just wanted a couple days of not working in an editor D:
Hi guys,
I'd just like to let you all know that we have listened to the communities response, and i've persuaded the devs to extend the contest.
Entrants now have until October the 1st to submit an entry! We are also going to speed up the production of some of the guides and are hoping to have an in depth tutorial on the gameplay mechanics, game modes and design theory of insurgency maps up in the next few days.
I will aslo try to set up a Q&A session with the devs to help anyone who has questions to ask.
Hopefully this should give people the time and information they need to produce some truly awesome maps!

That's great news.
Sounds good. After trying to get through the tutorial of the game and quitting before I did so, I was worried I'd lose too much time getting familiar with the game itself before I could even start mapping. The extended period nicely solves that. Looking forward to a QA session.
Quote from SteppenwolfDisplay MoreDon't know if this cross promotion is allowed here but i just want to give a heads up to fellow source level designers that we have started a mapping contest for Insurgency. Ther's some cool prices and cash to win.
Head over to gamebanana for more infos:

Yes but no, I like this game but I can't map on a game I don't know how to play. But thanks for your post ! Wait & see awesome maps for this awesome game.
Gamebanana is still a thing?
Quote from ESToomereGamebanana is still a thing?
Yup! We've changed many times, CSCental / FPSBanana / GameBanana etc.. but we're still going strong.
Also if anyone here doesn't own the game but wants to give this contest a shot feel free to PM me and I might be able to sort something out.
Can I get a refund then 
?
I think i will enter, i have an idea i want todo but i need to think of a good way todo it.
Does the map need to be compatible with all game modes like most of the default ones are?
Quote from SetinDoes the map need to be compatible with all game modes like most of the default ones are?
For the purpose of the contest, it only needs to be compatible for one game mode. However you are free to make adaptations or changes later to support extra game modes.

Nederlanders... 
If anyone has questions relating to mapping for Insurgency, or just general questions / comments about the game feel free to email me (Jon@machinefloor.com) and I will pass them on to the devs, or you can post in the Dev's Q&A thread here: http://insurgency.gamebanana.com/threads/195073
Good luck guys!

Pardon, no offense meant, just pretty damn amazing how you've managed to morph and change to persist.

None taken It's pretty amazing how something that started as a hobby, is still around 12 years later, and now supports a bunch of full time jobs.

I remember fpsbanana as a site full of virus.
I stopped going there after my NOD32 blocked the domain. 
EDIT: I took a look at the website again, and you guys have deleted all my submissions, like original content. that's sad.

Yeah we had a problem several years back where a malicious advert got into our cycle , although it was rectified fairly quickly, a lot of antivirus programs put us on a block list. Also we don;t delete people's content (unless you get banned or the submission break our rules), if you send me a link to your account I can look into it for you.
Back on topic: Have a look at Setin's map, as the contest organizer I can't give too much help / feedback, so maybe some of you guys could.
