[*Champion]

Well, I think I'll participate, I dont know if as a newcomer or experienced but, if you don't know I map since January 2011... Some people know about some of my maps, and they say I'm very good, but I just ran out of ideas. I think I will participate with X-Ray_Dog, or Exia, if he's here at forum.cubers.net too - I map greatly with them - but nothing is clear, I can barely get into AC due to connectivity problems - I'm back to the 32 Kilobits per sec era...

If I do participate I'm not going for first, mainly because I know that there are a lot of great mappers out there, better than me. But I think I'll participate only if I go along with X-Ray_Dog or Exia. I wished to also show you one map I think it would do great for this contest, name's "Biohazard". Still a beta, but me, Cho and X-Ray_Dog worked on it. And DON'T complain about the names, I'm gonna remove them on the next rev - should be ready tomorrow. For those who recognize it from Unreal Tournament 3, Yes, this map is based on the Unreal Tournament 3 Biohazard - BASED, it's not the exact map...
Links:
http://ompldr.org/vYWQyNg - The .cfg;
http://ompldr.org/vYWQyNw - The .cgz.

Note I'm not participating yet, this map is just for public evaluation - it's NOT worth for the contest.

[V-Man]

You should make your own thread for that map if you're not entering it into the contest yet.

[KonVerse]

@Fate: Duuuuuuuh...
@Snoo: ZOMG!!! UR MAP DUH SEXY!!!!!!! Makes mine look noob -__- If I don't win the grand prize, I gotta at least hit best newcomer ... Speaking of which .... Whats the prize for best newcomer ? $25 amazon voucher?


EDIT: @Halo: UR MAP DUH SEXIER THAN SNOOSNOO :) MY MAP WILL BECOME DUH SEXIER THAN SNOO SNOO ... SNOOOOOOOOOO ya later :)

[X-Ray_Dog]

I think I will participate with X-Ray_Dog, or Exia, if he's here at forum.cubers.net too -

I teamed with NightHawkd. We teamed up before you said anything, soz :D

Hope to see great maps from newcomers like me and extremely complex maps from old timers!

[Andrez]

[ExodusS]

I'll map with DaylixX, we just choose the theme (yeah it's not, but the real theme ;D).
I'll try to put the heightfields to the top!

[KonVerse]

Champion rejected :P Sorry :) I would team up with you but i've already done a map .... Just did most of the geometry etc... Just needs a whole lot of sexy detail etc

[Orynge]

[Link]

i need help with my map. a few more things to put. :D

[Nightmare]

I may have to skip this one. :'(

nvm not as busy as I thought I'd be, apparently...
ac_unfrozen
^dibs, unless its been used before...forum search says no.

[Lantry]

Actually - the "ac_"-prefix is mostly legacy (tradition) and related largely to old-school quadropolis paradigms. I'd simply suggest you prefix your maps with your mnemonic/moniker .. so I'd call my maps "ft_*" .. that way even the most common mapnames will probably not clash.
Also - you can simply try searching on quadropolis or akimbo for these names, since the only true claim to have on a mapname would be by having published it first.

http://forum.cubers.net/thread-2427.html

Basically what Flowtron is saying is that you shouldn't title your maps "ac_whatever", you should use an individual moniker so that you won't run into problems when using the same name for a map. For example, a map made by members of eQuilibrium was titled "eQ_Deadend" as our clan tag is eQ.| and maps that I make are titled "Lnt_whatever".

[Orynge]

lol, I meant ory_whitestuff.

I've used ory_ before, like for ory_crate, which hasn't even been released.

[ExodusS]

Dunno if you remember, but all old AlienWare maps were called aw_ (and i think it's same for mpx_?).

[KonVerse]

Tits_icecream world for next ac map ? o.O

EDIT: @Duckett : Ac_forge has no snowww!!!!

[Alien]

Nope, the prefix should be for various mods. The name of creator is inside of cfg.

To issue:official map pack has already snow maps, i doubt they would be sub, it is wasting time. :/
Possible outputs for success :
1. abstract (Champion's style with Cubes of ice) (hated by community)
2. map full of woods structures, combination with pines and rocks (hated by community)
3. something more in default style (wasting time)

Probably someone known finished map in this style ... pfff
