Yes,
just figuring out the deadline. Maybe some suggestions? (4-6 weeks?)

Going to be honest - the prize money has got me interested. I'm not gonna guarantee that my map will be worth $500, but I want to try my luck and forgotten skill at an AvD map.

A chance to give something back to the game for all those intense and fun hours of enjoyment. Also, 6 weeks for a deadline sounds good to me.

I have a couple of ideas for some unique maps. But I'm curious, are all these different maps being made simultaneously? I think 4-6 weeks is enough time for one map, but not 4 maps. I think the starting time for all of them can be the same and ending progressively later from easiest/hardest.

For example, something along the lines of: TFC remake ending 6 weeks from now. 3v3/2v2 ending 10 weeks from now, 4v4 14 weeks from now, AVD 18 weeks from now. this should give everyone ample time to finish their maps especially if they are in multiple categories.

Does the AvD category include IvD and variations (say, AvDZ and IvDZ)?
And if it does, does that also include custom variations that aren't in FF currently?

(In other words, can I make a new gamemode that plays like IvD, but is different?)

(in other words, can I use lua to give myself an advantage because my mapping sure as hell isn't gonna win any awards xD)

(wait, flip, i changed my signature to my master plan noooo)

EDIT: This is why i hate mapping for ff:



as you can see, the bottom one is the initial design.

the middle is the rebuilt version

the top one is the middle one doubled in size, and is the one that plays somewhat ok (yeah, its about 4x the size of the initial design)

I do.

I make a map, then test it, and it's just really tiny small tiny.

So I remake the map with larger dimensions, and it's still tiny small.

So just to see whether it would work, I completely doubled the size of the larger map and it works.

I'm just trying to get at how piss poor I am at getting dimensions right, especially in FF. :P

You'd think they'd just have a scale geometry function.

Well.... Maybe I'll dust off my mapping and start doing pickups. Sorry I haven't been around. New job requires my soul slaving away to make a living.

Yo. Just posting to say that I'm probably not going to participate anymore. Just in case you added me to some kind of list or anything.

Wish I had enough time and resources for this though. Also wish somebody actually played the game for it to be worth mapping for - isn't the best reward for a map maker to have his map be played?

Good luck to all you other guys who are still in!
