    Hello guys Since many people liked the idea and are willing to do a map I'll oficially start the contest. The idea is simple: Make a kickass hldm map using limited resources.

    The contest is due to FEB 5th so all submissions must be done untill that. I'll start a thread a few days before the deadline where people can post a link to their maps. The winners will be chosen by public voting.

    Here are the basic rules (can be changed afterwards, so stay tuned to this thread)

    * Anyone can enter this contest with as many maps as they want (as soon as the maps were not released before)

    * The only wads allowed are: halflife.wad, xeno.wad, liquids.wad, decals.wad, mapcore_contest.wad

    * You cannot use custom assets (textures, sprites, models, skyboxes etc)

    * DO NOT use -wadinclude or -nowadtextures (so we can keep the file sizes small)

    * The maps must have a proper and playable deathmatch layout

    * The 5 best maps will be featured in a nice mappack

    * The placement of the contest's logo is optional (since it looks terribly awful.. can anyone try and do a better one ?)

    IMPORTANT:

    Wad containing the contest's logo, null,skip and hint textures:

    Post any questions you have on this thread.

    Here is a tutorial explaining it:

    This a tutorial on how to setup expert compile (and with the image that is missing on the previous link), its for source but its almost the same thing:

    http://forum.interlopers.net/viewtopic.php?t=1836

    Its for CS, but you just need to change the mod folders the HL ones.
