We present to you the 7th official mapping contest
Underground is the theme, with atleast one room being outside/out doors. Good examples of this theme are ac_outpost and ac_mines. Only one room in the entire map has to be outdoors, but that room must be playable. Of course, more then one room can be outdoors as well, the limit is just set at one.
The judges: Halo, noobicus, Ronald_Reagen, and Waffles
The chairman: Halo
The judges will send their scores to the chairman so there is no influence on the scores based off someone elses, the chairman will wait til he has all other judges scores and submit all scores together.
There we be a new criteria in which maps are judged. The use of sounds has never been judged in the past so this creates something new.
We will judge on:
Theme
Textures
Lighting
Detail
Sounds
Layout/Gameplay
Average (overall of the above)
All scores will be between 1 and 10, 10 being the best, 1 the worse.
It starts now, the deadline is September 10th, you can enter your map at anytime, just post the link to download it in this topic.
The rules:
* Map wasn't released anywhere before
* One map per person (more than one person per map is fine)
* No stealing
* No judge was involved in the process of making the map
* Anyone can enter, no requirements are set based off mapping experience
If you enter a map before the deadline, you can work on it some more, the latest version will be the one to be judged.
You can make a coop map, but all people must be listed and they must not be listed on another map that is for the contest (in the case a coop map wins, its up to the persons who made the map to decide on how to split the prize, not the judges).
If you are new and working with a coop partner, this still counts as a new mapper, but only the new person in the team will get the prize (so please define who is new), if there are multiply people in the group who are new to mapping, its between those persons to define how to split it.
The prizes will be discussed and/or donated at a later time.
Custom Media is allowed, but any maps with custom media will be judged in a different category. Custom skybox, textures, mapmodels, sounds, etc, are allowed and there is no limit to the number you may use.
With this, there will 3 be different categories in which you can win. Best newcomer, best map with custom media, honorable mention (non-newcomer or custom content maps). Each category will be judged on their own. Meaning each newcomer will be judged with other newcomers, custom content with other custom content, etc.
Let your mapping begin and good luck to everyone who enters.
Have fun and best of luck!
