[MaMuS_lol]

[insta]

I'm in!

[mjens]

something like Rocket Arena

maybe I'm in - I will think about it btw. if so it will be my first Sourrce map so maybe I will not waste the "virginity" of that engine for that kind of map

I'm not going to participate, but I voted terrible idea!

[skdr]

Cool idea!

[teeluu]

You guys really have bad timings for these contests, i have no time at all right now. Good idea tho, will be interesting.

[OrnateBaboon]

How could anyone think that this is a terrible idea!? 1024 map size so that there is a good chance of completion, and limiting things to HL2 textures means that everyone is good to go.

There is still plenty of scope for some great looking, and playable maps.

Now someone make it sticky'd and official and set a deadline. [Edit] Maybe the 20th? To keep things concise?

[Minos]

yeah, 2 weeks is enough.

Assuming this is going ahead then, here's mine so far after ~6hrs. It's about 1400 tall at the moment, but only 600 of that's playable. It's mostly based on this, the movie Brazil, and Midgar from FFVII.

btw, do sprites work differenetly in HL2DM to other Source games? I've got them on all the lights with the "start on" flag checked, and tried different sprite materials, but none of them are showing up ingame.

I have noticed certain sprite materials don't show up. Aside from that make sure it isn't placed inside of a model and that it's set as world space glow.

Map's looking cool, keep it coming.

Maybe the playable volume of the map should be equal to 1024x1024x1024?

Like 2048x1024x512 = 1024x1024x1024

?

Awesome. IMA OPEN HAMMER

I think we should base the restrictions rather on the volumetric mass of the map, depending if you are using stone, wood, or plaster !!!!!!!

Do not make a map with plutonium textures tho ! LOL

[dc-mike]

think ill try and throw something together for this... not making any promises though
