Do the Fragpoint maps all support LMS?

almost all of the maps are great looking, but I haven’t had a chance to actually play the maps. something I really would like to do…
If I had to pick one map it would be high noon, that map is just amazing on detail.
And I think that sphere would be most fun to play online.

NO
most of the maps have theri totaly own gameplay & objectives.
likealready mentioned
- 2 maps are Double Domination like
- The Map from Beowulf is just perfect experiment (American gladiaotr like)
but there was no regulation that a map must contain LMs and if you ask me…theri are better gamemods den LMS…just try them.

a comment to the upcoming contest out there:
its nice that you like the 1024 contest idea, but i think a contest with other targets
would be more interesting…just be creativ.
have of the rules are just copied & same good point were added…but why no totaly new contest concept ?
my 2 cents

well i just ran thru these maps, and WOW these have the potential to be more fun than any current et map, especially the double domination one thats got the insane animated numbers and letters, anyway i noticed on more than one of these maps that they have a “security cam” type setup, and mirrors also, so i ask are the mirrors the same concept as in rtcw, except this time they work? so can i just run off an rtcw tutorial for mirrors and get em working, and does anyone have a tut for those cameras, cuz i got some crazy ideas to make a map where seeing your enemy is mainly thru cams and mirrors

hi,
to the mirror:
just work like in RTCW, its just the same
cams:
therefore you must copy code from the rtcw_def to your et_def file because the entity is missing.
then its also just like in rtcw to built.
the second thing is, that it effetcs your level performance…be very careful with such features…

You only say this because it means you’ll essentially got the same competition twice, but us lot haven’t, this is our first.
It’s a good idea, and it’s nature may well entice people to enter who otherwise wouldn’t (eg me - if it was a big map I’d have to say no - for both time reasons and because it’d ‘compete’ with the official competition running here).
We are just making sure us lot don’t miss out on what was obviously fun. If people were worried about having 2 similar competitions, they should have opened the original one up to everyone, not just a small localised subset of the mapping community.

Hi Gerbil,
my background is the following.
I think fragpoint contest was a great idea.
Its nice that parts of the SD Community want to continue this idea…
BUT anyway…
for the whole mapping scene it would be more interessting to start just a
“really new contest”,
with more own & new ideas.
-perhabs smaller
-perhabs bigger
-brush limitation
-szenario limitation
-gamemod limitation
-only bump/normalmaps textures
-cel shading maps
hundreds of other ideas & possibilitys…
but atm i see a contest with the same mapfile size(4mb) same editor size(1024)
and so on
anyway…
Its just my opinion…and i hope we can see more interssting maps in the upcoming future out of this contest
one point more:
the fragpoint contest was not limited to any country, people or something else…so it was open to everyboy who was interessted in & knows some more pages then Sd :bump:
please dont understand my posting in the wrong way, its just my 2 cents…
greetings fidel

You are more than welcome to start another competition, although might be better to wait until aftrer this one
It had occured to me we could run a monthly competition where the rules changed though.
As for the competition being open to anyone, I’m sure it was, but that only works for people who KNOW about it - most people here didn’t, so it’s a moot point.
As I said, you are just annoyed because you personally want something different 
This IS different to us since we’ve not done it before 
Some of the ideas I liked for future ones were:
- smaller (sounds impossible but…)
- cel shaded
- scenario limited
- objective limited (must be ‘escort the…’, or ‘capture the…’)
- texture limited (eg must use radar / oasis texture set or something) - possibly similar to scenario limited
- Can only use new textures

Although I’m sure there are a number of other fine sites
around the world in a variety of languages concerning
map making for ET, if they really wanted to attract the
largest group of mappers for the competition, they would’ve
posted in “The official forum for ET map making” (i.e. here).
They didn’t, so a lot of fine mappers missed out.
I look forward to the SD forum 1024^3 contest.

agree in all points.
but please dont forget…fragpoint has realized this contest, not me.
i hope your contest will work fine with nice maps…the upper postings were only some ideas…not more.

I am wordless… I have planned to reply in this thread but Gerbil has always ripped words out of my mouth.
I think we can still achive good results with our competition as gerbil stated this competition is new to us.
And the important thing between fragpoints and our competition is that the map sources are released too. I think that is a big point.
- texture limited (eg must use radar / oasis texture set or something) - possibly similar to scenario limited
This would be fun competition!!! Maybe gather texture set from free ones out there and release competition where you only can use those.

Sorry about that
But as for future comps, let’s get this one out of the way and see how that does first

I put all maps of Fun Contest 2004 on LadyMacbeth server
It’s an europeen server (host in France) : 81.91.66.187:27950
24 slots, and download off.
Nice and original work, all mappers
