And since its photo scanned you can go find these rocks on the hills near Bethesda in North Wales, here is the exact location: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Bet…927!4d-4.058833

And now for some building stuffs (wip)!

Yes it really should stick to how it was detailed, but if changes like this are made it makes sense to up prizes for more work.

Also, can this now be split into two phases?

What I mean is to have a submission deadline on the 24th, and then just those maps that are submitted are allowed for final entry on the 22nd of December. Just like how the UT4 mapping contest was held.

I really want to know fully what I'm up against before spending another month's work on this.

I also feel that due to a whole month being added, especially since it will now lead up right into Christmas holidays, it only seems in order for the prize pool to be extended too, by at least a third.

Would have been nice to have seen this announced more than 10 days before the deadline

Just now, Oskmos said: Did anyone climb the treehouse (and did it cause rubberbanding?) on the Insertion playtest yesterday?

Also sorry i could not attend the playtest of my own map lol

Unfortunately we did not have enough players join to start the match, so we didn't get around to testing that. Since there was no playtest would you like it to be moved to Thursday?

No, you can check the spreadsheet here to see when playtests will take place.

I spent this Sunday working on the church, upgraded it a little and played with the style. Still got a bit to fix up but I'm happy with how it is looking right now

Some more props!

Random metal elements for the dock zone, and some landscape items.

Yep they are all asset packed in the game files

Quote from El_Exodus

41 minutes ago, El_Exodus said: huh? Afaik, OP map assets were never stored in the VPKs. They would have appeared in the SDK otherwise.

And Yeah they aren't packed into the vpk but they are still included into the full game package

Makes sense to move them to workshop now so fresh downloads will be smaller, and so people with old demos won't get missing map errors

Quote from RealaxFourX

1 hour ago, RealaxFourX said: If I am still in graybox stage and one part of my map is on a hill and I want my map to be accepted for mapcore playtesting, should I make it simple from normal brushes or do I have to use displacements (even though I will later on try to do them with 3d modelling program)?

It won't matter how the hill is made, just as long as it is smooth to play around and doesn't look too messy visually all should be fine.

Here are some more things I've been working on from today

Couldn't agree more, @'RZL's work here has been exceptional

Me and @rosk are hopeful to continue the quality of the service through the time we are working with it, and maybe bring some fresh new things to the table too!

3 years will be hard to beat

Hey there everyone!

After a long time searching we managed to figure out why the gamemode was not running properly; You have to make a .txt file with necessary info inside in order for the game to run. To find one you gotta extract it with GCFScape, I've uploaded Commachio's to pastebin here.

I recommend using Notepad++ and setting the language to java to edit it, 500 lines become a lot easier to work with like this:

Aside from that here's a screenshot form the latest build of the docks area

Whats that ominous shape in the water?

By the way, we are getting a server set up to do testing, the more players the better and we will be happy to test your map with us!

Its only a simple home hosted one, tested with a friend and they received decent connection.

As with any contest, time is of the essence; therefore I'm trying to get the content rolling :P. Here's a couple selections of previews for the models I've been working on for the map.

I can't get this to repeat on my machine, maybe there is a problem that is related to the brush?

Either way, I find it just as enjoyable as Overwatch and I think everyone would be better off accepting each game for their differences rather than listing their similarities.

It's clearly a shameless ripoff, and even more clear that it was made with the only intention to leech money from overwatch.

# this shiet was created in autodesk ileagle version mane

Comments do get ignored in the compile process to source, sooo it doesn't really matter if its readable or not, just if the comment is there
