/!\ OLD SCHOOL CONTEST /!\

    e-freak: I don't know..I haven't played prey, don't know what it's about..have just seen some sexy shots of some prey maps so...bottom line, I dunno..but I doubt it really..it's deathmatch with new elements tbh. You'll all see!

    My map is mostly completed but won't compile... Getting MAX_MAP_CLIPNODES, I've done the majority of the clipbrushing, I might be able to clip off a bit more here and there but I doubt I'll get very much out of it. And I tried to compile half my map just so I could see what it looks like(i havent been able to compile in a week ), and I get a MAX_MAP_FACES error... so right now I don't think it'll compile at all.. I'll keep working on it for the next few days, but it doesn't look promising right now.

    Don't know if I'm going to be able to finish, all I have to do is add some details / weapons and game entities/ clipping, but I really have no time. Finals / projects are killing me.

    I'm rather close to being done, but a really tight schedule has me doubting I'll get it done in time. My map is closed off and compiles though so I can put it out as is.. But that means having an unfinished area with no real point to it and virtually no items or spawns and poor texture alignment. If I can fit it in my schedule to even get a compile done(After adding lights)

    It's been great working on this project though. Best contest ever. Just kind of wish I didn't have a life. A postpone just to wednesday (or even tuesday) would help a bunch tbh :/ But I do see KT's argument that it'd be silly, considering this was supposed to be some sort of speed mapping or time trial thingie. Anyway. Been great. Hope I'll have something to put up in time.

    Twiz, you can get some more clipnodes by typing -cliptype smallest on the BSP compiler. but, it will make many strage clipping hulls in it...

    about the faces... yea, that's a problem. If it's TOO big, you will need to cut something in your map, like deatils or even one room...

    Thanks, I'm now under the limit for clipnodes. I'll have to try to get the faces down, but its not lookin good. I could always delete a part of my map. Its basically 3 long rooms next to each other, so I could just put closed doors to one of the 2 'side' rooms and delete it. Right now its just a mirror image of the other side(I planned on having something different but ran low on time), so we'll see. That might be the easiest and best solution, I'd just need to add some doors or blockades of some kind. That should solve my clipnode problem as well. My map was already kinda 'sticky' in spots to begin with, given all the odd angled architecture, so I can only image how it would be with -smallest in there.

    I.. Might finish juuust in time. Although, I won't get my lighting perfected and I might have some details and brushes I wanted to improve/make. But it'll be playable, I reckon.

    Sorry for disappearing... it wouldn't be fair to release all these kickass maps at an "almost-finished" state, so I decided to extend the deadline for another week. That's right, the new deadline is feb 12. This will be last time I extend it so you guys better get everything done and polished by the end

    This' being a kickass contest indeed, and I can't wait to test all the maps and prepare the map pack

    Keep it fellas
