Half-Life 2: Deathmatch 1024-unit Competition?

[Erratic]

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

Like 2048x1024x512 = 1024x1024x1024

Hmm, never thought of that best to keep it within a 1024x1024x1024 cube...

So... when's start/end of comp?

[Erratic]

April 20th. So 2 weeks from today. Sometime before that an entries thread will be started to accept everyones maps and then have a vote, like the Oldschool contest. Should be enough time.

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.

If none of that works, go into the sprite entities properties and under the material name, add ".spr" if it's not there.

I'm thinking about joining this contest.

I want in on this but wont be able to start until Thursday.

[Minos]

My map is about 70% done but I need someone to take screenshots for me (my shitty hardware won't let me take good shots)

[KungFuSquirrel]

ooh, better try and give this a go. I'm sure I'll fail as miserably as I did on the HL1DM comp, but meh.

[Raminator]

Sounds interesting.

[OnboardError]

[Tarky]

Ok I'm intrigued. I'm gonna give it a go I rection.

Btw, Hai Guys - Tarkiness has reentered the buildingness

[Buddy]

Nice Mino, I'm stuck at thinking of a good gameplay, I can take those screens btw.

[OnboardError]

I got a cool game play idea my only worry it being to much of a kill box map Anyhow I'm all dev'd out and I will be starting the art part of this very soon after I get a play test. Good contest.

[sk3tch]

Cool idea. So...the skybox can be out of the grid correct?

[MaMuS_lol]

It's very primitive yet... but it's comming!

So is there gonna be an official WIP thread for the competitions, or are we all just gonna use this thread to post WIP's?
