Although i'm not at E3 this year, GameBanana / FPSBanana founder Tom will be, so if any mapcore people want to meet up for a few beers and chat about modding do let us know.
Also since a lot of people mentioned Valve, when I spoke to Robin the other day he said nobody from Valve is attending this year. They may be at GamesCom / GDC-Europe in August, but so far nothing is decided.
Had lots of fun testing this map! Congratulations on the win 
Quote from w1z1kDisplay MoreI 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.
Looks promising!
i have ins.. i can map fo it but im not sure
Give it a shot, you've got nothing to lose!
I know I haven't been here long, but I'll be at GDC-Europe and Gamescom for a few meetings. Wouldn't mind meeting up for drinks if anyone is around.

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.
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.
If anyone has questions relating to mapping for Insurgency, or just general questions / comments about the game feel free to email me ([email protected]) 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!
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.

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!
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
Hi All,
As Shawn correctly says this could be a fantastic opportunity for a freelance artist to get their content in a published title, or additional resume content for an existing industry employee. It really is an awesome opportunity to have your content looked at in detail by a developer.
We realize 8 weeks is quite short (and I will talk to NWI about potentially extending it), however the winning submissions will have plenty of time after the deadline to work with the games developers to perfect their map and really bring it up to game-ready level.
What we are really looking for is the creative vision, to bring something new to insurgency, so even if you just get an alpha or beta version out, all the minor gameplay tweaks and optimisation can be done later on.
Any other questions feel free to ask
