Well, we are all lazy bastards who don't really have want to dedicate the majority of our spare time for 6 weeks mapping, especially when it coincides with the exam period (prolly affects just me, cause im like 2 years old)...
I feel like the only real mapping contest that would work in FF would be that people nominate and prize money is awarded to the best map made in that year. Then you could show it off in your signature and whatever, and then ricey could make a cool website where you can show your awards off 8 years later. Getting an FF map right tends to be a rare thing, what with all the things you can do wrong and the fact it's SSDK '06, meaning Hammer has a tendency to crash for dumb reasons so you lose a couple of hours of work, and your morale for using Hammer drops greatly for the next day or two, so you don't want to make a map. Even though some people WILL be working on maps, they'll have only made about 3-6 concepts, which is nowhere near the 100 you need before a good map is actually made. ;P

The whole reasoning behind a 'Map Battle' is to test your skills, not make the best playable, super fabulous, insert more witty shit here as long as you want map ever . Most battles the maps aren't even playable. - http://www.interlopers.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=12. Stop whining about shit and just make what ever comes to you, if it sucks, it sucks. Either way you have gotten better and what you are doing and learn from your mistakes. Whiny bitch. Quote:

I hit the save button what seems like every 10 seconds while mapping. Maybe I'm OCD, but I've had hammer crash on me more than a few times and there's no way I'm going to redo work just because I forgot to save. I've seen wubba around in the servers lately. Are there still the minimum mappers for your contest wubba?

I press ctrl+s every 5 god damn seconds when I'm working on something, hell hammer has auto save as well. You can set it to save every 10 minutes max 100 files if you really wanted to. Most programs work like this nowadays, so it's a horrible accuse.
I love you too, FDA.

I even bolded it to show it was sarcastic. Kinda sucks that I never really noticed that it wasn't as obvious that it was sarcasm, and actually does make it look more like it's specifically aimed to annoy you, but sorry. Hard to convey sarcasm over the internet short of just using *sarcasm*, which I feel is just overused, and also kinda ruins the sarcasm IMO. ( and im a hipster yeah ) Quote:
IMO FF is one of the hardest games I know of to map for. Scaling, and all that stuff I always rant about because I'm a twat and I never learn. It's probably just because I feel that I should make one of these great fcking maps like SD2 or something and then it's a piece of shit and I get pissed. Quote:

Still, I have to at least hope I'll make a good map or I'll never even try. Quote:
Anyway, the crashing and whatever wasn't really the main point of what I said. It was that I kinda don't really have a lot of time. Of course, I generalised like a noob and said 'people' rather than 'me', but. Yeah. Yeah, my fault, sorry, I won't moan anymore about mapping because it's generally just me being terrible. ;p

He did ask for infraction, but I'm a cunt so I gave him a warning instead.

Pretty sure playability was one of the intentions here, not some waste of time attempt at a "mapping skillz" contest.

Hey Dexter that reminds me, where's the new "Installing Hammer for Fortress Forever for Dummies" thread you were going to create? :P

On topic, mapping contests are dumb and will only bring bad maps. When I make maps for FF, I do it out of love of the game. I don't care about money, my only incentive is "I can't wait to play this map in a game!". This also leads to trying to create new, unique designs and flagrooms etc. When FF can't even maintain daily pickups, why bother making maps? They wouldn't even get played anyways. Maybe when its released on steam there might be a bigger incentive. |
