[Luc@s]

It should be fixed, l'enmerdeur. (i mean registering o nakimbo)
I posted your map anyway : http://ac-akimbo.net/showthread.php?tid=1464
Its not validated yet because there are collisions with other packages, but i will fix it ASAP

[It's L'enmerdeur]

Last map update before the dead line,
a few clips added and an error fixed in the .cfg file.

Ok so here is a map that I have been working on for a while now. Started at a pure ffa map then I added a little more, then more and got what I have today.
It is a pretty small map, so 1-8 players is probably the max for comfortable play. I planned on working little more on it, but wanted to get it out here because won't have a computer the next few days.

Enjoy, bugs and suggestions appreciated.

Dog with the surprise entry. :D

Today is the day. You have until the last reminding time zone reaches midnight to update/submit your maps.
In case anyone was wondering about that last reminding time zone, that would be Midway Islands and you can use this link provided to see their time and thus the end of the contest.

Alright Ladies and Gents. It's time to put your mapping to rest. Though we didn't get a large number, we had a few surprises. I felt overall it was quality and we will just have to see what the judges decide. Thank you everyone for entering. Good luck to those who entered, and good luck to those who end up playing on the new battlefields.
Here is the list of every confirmed map for the contest (I will update this later as one simple download for all the maps, but at this time it will just have to wait a few hours).

Make ice cave for castle map contest. Win $25.
That's awesome. :D Good job L'en.

[Mousikos]

Is there an updated version of ac_tanglewood? It says it does not satisfy requirements to be played in Multiplayer Mode.

[Pi_Halo]

In case he does update it, the last version submitted has to be the one that is judged. Thus I will ask each judge to download this package of all the maps (with all the extras that go with it).
contest maps (updated at deadline)

PS, thanks for pointing that out Mousikos. I totally forgot to test to see if the maps could be voted online when I did my scores earlier. My scores are now complete, waiting on the others.

[Mousikos]

Cool, cool. I was just testing to see if I could get these on the mapping server so I can judge more quickly next week and realized I couldn't vote it.

[Pi_Halo]

I did send all the latest versions to the mapping server. You can get them from there. (If you are a judge that wants to download them quicker in game, contact me and mousikos and we will direct you to the mapping server we are speaking about so you can do so).

[Z3R0]

Maybe nobody wants to participate in mapping contests because they never get judged lmao

^This, as well as we know that all the effort and hours you put into the map wont be worth it. I believe most mappers would love to have an official map, but the devs do apparently not want that many maps in the official package, nor do they want to remove any of the trash maps that already are in there.

Too late to the party but I like the Half-Life 2 reference in frozen_cavern...
Congrats.

Can't replace masterpieces like ac_snow.

but the devs do apparently not want that many maps in the official package

next time you want to talk in the devs name make sure you are accurately reporting what they actually think

[DogDancing]

Yah so what happened with this?
We have some great maps

What happened is that Rad and myself were the only judges to submit scores. A judge that had previously been very prompt was not and another judge just kept on beating around the bush. I have thought about replacing those 2 and trying to get some type of scores posted.

[Nightmare]

I can take out my entry and become a judge if you want.
