Looks nice, Slainchild. Doesn't look like a typical UT3 map, which is in this case a good thing

One suggestions though: try to define the walkpaths a bit more, cause right now it's all just a bit of a white/black 'clutter' (due to lack of a better word) and it would seem hard as a player to 'get' the whole situation ("what are the possible entries/exits? where can I go to?") when you enter another room. By simply using another texture (maybe something subtle gray-ish?) for the walkpaths you could resolve this (of course, there are other ways too). It would also just add a tad more variety to the level

good to know that you all like the idea of making a theme on any engine...so I suggest not exactly a theme but a category - I would be very happy if the contest will be based on realism (no alien space themes like in some UT themes)

and the deadline... how about 1st week of october? I know that's a lot of time but we have vacations - give us a break from mapping

Keep in mind a lot of us do not have vacations though

What he said

I 2nd that

Best way to reach an as broad public as possible, I guess.

Although it would seem hard to compare different engines to each other, I think it would really need to kick the 'mapper' alive in anyone competing.

Awesome! Downloading now

Quote from killertomato

All competitive elements have been corrupted anyways.

I'm not sure what you mean with this. Care to explain?

Don't think I'll be able to finish it in time then

If it'd be extended 2 weeks I'd have a good chance since I have a week off (starting next friday, that is). But I understand the contest has been running for some time already so yeh.

hmm, I remember talk in the other thread of not including the mapcore.wad (for the logo) in the bsp. Maybe I got mixed up. Either way I guess I still have today to reupload it.

I believe that was about the hl.wad. Not sure though.

Eh, the bottle of wine and champagne and the 4 beer bottles in front I got for my birthday. Then there's one bottle we brewed at school (don't ask) and a few leftovers from some time back. That said, I do drink on a very regular basis (but just beer, that is)

Looking nice, but it may look better if the ship wasn't fully stacked with containers. Perhaps remove some here and there, so there's a bit of irregularity.

Nice touch on the "Belgium Shipping - Antwerp" thing. Love it

I'm the one on the left

hahaha oh dear lord, i laughed for about 30 seconds straight at that stacking, it's like pick-up-sticks but instead of sticks it's just piles of crap, and instead of picking anything up it's just stacking more shit on top of the existing shit.

You pretty much hit the nail on the head

Quote from hessi

so plz dont fake clean up your rooms. i know you are having a mess same as i have D:

No faking here. There's a lot of stuff lying behind my monitor (as you can partially see). I tend to use that area for putting things out of my way

Shame. Would have loved to see what you'd come up with

New WIP, not much new stuff though ...

Ok then, first WIPs. I'm aware the lightbeam in the 2nd picture isn't transparant like it should be.

Anyway, hope you like it a bit.

/me leans back and waits for first WIP screens by Squad and Mr. Ben

Wow, thanks ham and Frie. I'm suprised you're awaiting my WIP so much ... I guess I'll wait a bit longer till I post a WIP then hehe

Quote from FrostedBitesCereal

I have school, although no homework since it's so easy I finish it in my classes, except for the occasional Drama assignment..never taking that course again, horrible teacher ='(

Some people don't have that much time. I have to get up at 6am and usually don't return home before 6pm or 7pm, so free time is limited.

That said, I'm giving it a go as well and hope to post some pictures soonish

So a small hl1dm map, what does that mean in terms of player limit? 6 players or so?

The Belgian you mean

Quote from Squad

Awesome work!I wouldn't mind my own avatar either

In addition (if you allow me to make a request ), an avatar based on this and in your pixel style would be totally awesome
