Good to see you still made it in time. Respect!

Hello everyone,

The contest has officially ended. I'm very pleased with the number of entries. I keep repeating myself but I would never have imagined such an great turn out. It feels good that the love is still there. I want to thank everybody for participating, even if you didn't finish, I hope you'll continue your map and eventually share it with the rest of us. We know Idtech communities have splintered throughout the years but I sincerely hope you'll stick around.

Having said that, I'll start collecting all the maps and then send them to our judges. They will do their best to finish this process in a reasonable time. However, I cannot yet give a date so check back regularly. In the mean time I'll upload all the release candidates to the server so we all can play on them. I'll also try and organize a play session in due time. For now, kick back, poor yourself a nice drink and have a breather. You all deserved it.

Regards,

Sprony

Quote from Puddy

The show is very polarizing. I for one loved Season 2 but have found the last few episodes of Season 5 to be a pure snoozefest.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I've had lengthy discussions with my wife about the same thing. She loved season 2 and 4 for instance. But hey, taste differs

Admittedly, the mid season final and the final of season 2 were splendid. It's just the stuff in between dragged on for too long imo.

The server is updated with the latest versions of your maps.

The Walking Dead:

For me, it has always been a mixed bag. Season 1 and 3 were amazing. The 2nd I nicknamed The Talking Dead and 4th almost made me quit the show. But season 5, especially the mid season final we've just watched, is fucking epic!

Very whiny.

Yes, he does go a bit overboard and I certainly don't agree with everything he says but still, he have to admit, he has a lot of valid points.

I started playing again this week btw, trying to finish the 'campaign'. Still enjoying it in short sessions and with a couple of days in between.

I prefer the Imax shot (which is my new wallpaper):

All submitted maps are uploaded. If you want to test them with friends here's the info to run the server:

You can login with /rconpassword 1162577

Other useful commands:

/rcon map mapname

/rcon addbot botname skilllevel 1-5 meaning /rcon addbot bones 2

Let me know if you need a new version of your map uploaded. Keep submitting guys and get your friends to play-test!

Also, download the maps before hand, download speed on the server is like 2 kb. I've collected all the submitted .pk3's here. Download this and extract to your base directory and you are good to go.

Lots of new info here but spoiler heavy.

This video is brutal. If you love the game, don't watch it and if you worked on it, ignore it because it's fucking harsh.

Having said that, this guy nails down a lot of issues and even though it's harsh, it well founded and documented. Truly an interesting watch. Not only about Destiny but also about the whole preorder bullshit and false promises this industry is having to deal with more and more.

Possible final build. Just got a work sample that has higher priority than the map so I won't be able to work on the map anymore. I'm also waiting to hear from another company about a position and if I get that position I will probably be able to work on the map until deadline.

A bit sad that I might not be able to finish the map properly, but I'm still pretty happy about the result.

Here's a link to the latest version: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/64384600/q3dmcaldera.pk3

It's a little dark. I'd add a little contrast by using some strong directional light sources (like spot lights, etc.).

Even the lava doesn't seem to give any glow.

I have to agree. I'm watching this at work and I literally can't see shit.

It looks like Helder, KNJ and me are going to party in February

Sorry, should've known better but it's nowhere near ready so I will cut my losses. Spent most of my time on (item)layout and playtesting with people who know how to duel since it was going to be a tourney map, which is trickier than ffa.

Kind of a bummer but good luck to the contestants and I will definitely follow and enjoy the maps that do make the deadline. On the bright side now I can catch up on some sleep. Thanks for hosting this guys, keep rockin' it.

You still have a week, crazier things have happened. Besides never judge yourself on the best that others can do. Do your own thing!

Quote from Hipshot

You need to set the client to download too, like this

cl_allowdownload 1

however, it won't work anyway, cause it says that the server isn't pure, try and set it to sv_pure 1 Johnny

Fixed it so thanks for the tips. However, I still recommend downloading the files yourself. The server is extremely slow. Around 10 minutes download time per map.

I'll look into the rotation issues.

I think The Nostalgie Critic said it best in his "Has CGI gone too far?" video. If you can get over his voice he has an interesting story to tell and yes, totally on topic since it also covers Jurassic Park

Quote from (HP)

I'm not gonna watch that trailer, even if you pay me, I'm staying away from any spoilers. But... what dux said +1000, the plot needs to be super well written to justify them making the same mistake again and going 1to1 with dinosaurs and try to tame them.

Dude, it's already confirmed that there will be tamed dinos trained by Pratt and lots of good dinos versus bad dinos fighting. For those that want to know more read this. HP, stay away from that link since it's spoiler heavy. Didn't mask the first part since you are already aware of the whole genetic bullshit as well.

Anyway, ridiculous story and is it me, or was that some crappy CGI? Seriously, the original still looks better.

Quote from (HP)

I've noticed that getting older makes you a pussy. I would still do everything, but when I used to dive right in (get it) I now think about it more and feel hesitation. I've basically become a little bitch but luckily, when push comes to shove, my balls are still big enough.

It's not about the size of the balls bro, it's about wanting to preserve them! xD
