Well since the creators of SC are having THERE mapping contest, why don't we have our little private one?
(Edited by cartman-2000, the following are rules on the contest put together from posts in this thread.)
Rules of the contest.
Many of the guidelines would be the same as the mapping contest on the sc mod forums, create a unique map that is enjoyable to play. As this is a co-op mod having co-op elements in your map is "highly" encouraged as well. One entry per person, can be a single map or a series of maps(If your making a series, it must be a series, multiple maps with no relation to the other maps won't be accepted.). Other things that are encouraged but aren't explicitly required is the usage of custom content, like models, sounds, skyboxes, sprites and textures, but using them can make it more likely that your map will win, if you use them correctly. If your using models, sounds, etc files made by other people give them credit as well.
The judges would be me, foxid, myo, GTR, not sure about maskan, he hasn't been on much lately. As it would likely be just the 4 of us make sure the map you submit will play well with around 4-6 players, without xp mod.
For judging the maps, I could use my models server, as it would be better to judge maps without xp mod running on the server. The server would be locked out for non admins when the maps are being judged on.
As for submitting the final map packages, you can send them to me on xfire, also make sure your packages are setup with the proper directory structure, proper res file and proper file cases(My fast dl is hosted on a Linux box, file names and directory names are case sensitive.). Make sure your map packages aren't cluttered with unnecessary/unused files as well before sending them to me. Maps must run stable as well, if they crash the server when they are being judged and it isn't some random crash but a reproducible one, your map will get marked down a little to a lot depending on severity of the maps instability.
Final dead line will be 11:59pm PDT(Pacific Daylight Time.), 09/25/09, anything past this won't be accepted. You can submit your maps up to a week before the final deadline.
Rewards.
Rewards will be given in the form of levels on the server, 150 levels to the first place winner, if we get enough people entering the contest, like 5-6 or more people, then a second and third place reward will be given too, 90 levels for 2nd place , and 50 levels for 3rd place.
PM me if your going to enter into the contest.
