contest (prefabs)

(capslock trojan) #1

hi
does this exist because i thought ive read a post of this
this aint a bad a idee the only thing we need is some rules and a referee

i was thinking 4 rules this is what i came up to

RULES:

build 3 different bunkers
build 1 guard tower
build 1 common thing like a doghouse or a birdbox (dont now the right name)
build 1 entrance tower (like in forrest compound but not al like)
build 1 import land thing (like a trench or a foxhole or something else)
build 3 barriers (like beach barrier or a road barrier)

is this a good idee or what
ive made rules now whe only need a good referee
i sugest a sock (if he wants) :bump: :bump: :bump:

srr 4 me English :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

(and at the end whe could publish them) :drink:

I think sock is quite busy.

I would happily run more competitions when the last one is finished. but I am not very keen of taking more projects until the last ones are finished.

There would be cool if there would be so that no custom textures were used. I do not like the picture thing.

hi
i really dont understand what your replying :bored:

do you want to be the referee but only if the other projects that you are doing is done :???: is that what you mean?

no custum textures that would be cool so we could make like a pk3 with the textures in and .map files

cant we include like a time like 2 weeks or more

I am meaning that I need to have 1024 competition out of my system before I can participate/host/run any competitions.
To be out of my system I mean released finals and source codes.

m’kay
ive already started on some prefabs
:fiesta:
:smiley: but i was thinking instead of publishing it on the end in al different .map files whe could like put it al in one big resource map that would be a lot easyer (with a box around the prefabs so you can see wich prefabs is who’s

:bump:

The basic idea is good! Having a prefab contest.
What i dissagree on is the rules, sounds more like u are in need of theese prefabs than a contest!

What would be great for the community is a contest of any prefabs, perhaps in different categories. Like "buildings, weapons, vehicles, decorations, moving/rotating, landscape etc.

Then we can get a huge ammount of simple and complex great looking prefabs to use in future maps.

I agree, though my brushwork for things like that is minimal and crude (just look at my Mobile Flak88 if you need convincing) I would probably enter.

As drakir suggested, I think general categories would be better than anything specific and yes it does look like trojan is trying to get his map build by those entering the contest, if it ever happen. Shame on you! :stuck_out_tongue: lol

I don’t know how much bandwidth that would generate but I’d be willing to host it if it’s not too high. Anyone has any idea about that?

Excellent idea indeed me thinks :slight_smile:

im almost don so im not in the need of those prefabs those where just sugestions :stuck_out_tongue:
muhahahahah
:smiley: :smiley:
what did you think (that i would start an idee with out being prepared :smiley: )

but about those movin/rotating bushes that seems a great idee

btw: drakir next time you come online il send you some picts of what i got :bump:

shame on you thought i was going to use prefabs from other people :stuck_out_tongue: :bump: als is forgiven :smiley: :smiley:

srr me English btw

catogories would been nice like bunkers/houses/towers/barriers/land thing(dont now like a name it what i mean are like trenches)/…

@ capslock.regarding to host the prefabs you have already done: hmmmm… well, I guess I could host it but I won’t make them available until the contest has started. I have some space I can use for that while we start the contest. PM me, I’ll give you my email so you can send me those. How big are those anyway?

(capslock trojan) #12

hi

I’ll give you my email so you can send me those. How big are those anyway?
something aroud 260kb maybe a little more but not much :smiley: :smiley:

when do i get your email adress

(MadJack) #13

Send me a PM.

Seems like an interesting idea. It reminds of the box-room contest. I figure if I can get my level done, or at least mostly finished, I can start working on some prefabs. Possibly things like my diesel generator.

Sigh I miss my box-room. Poor tape player… shakes a fist at the lost .map files

(capslock trojan) #15

:smiley: m’kay al prefabs are nice as long its a prefab and not a model (lo) :stuck_out_tongue:

(MadJack) #16

Subject has been introduced, now please anyone has any ideas, suggestions, comments about having the contest? Also, anyone would be interested in participating?

Since there doesn’t seem to be anyone proposing their service for hosting I’ll host the files until either the contest is started or as a repository for those that want to put theirs somewhere. If the contest starts, I’ll make them publicly available but as long as there’s no go for it, the files won’t be available. Also, if the contest starts, I think only having screenshots should be the way to go until a jury can come up with winners.

Some rules suggestions…

Low poly count. No models over 5-6K tris (?)
Format: .ase? md3? .map and others?

[ul]Categories
[li]aesthetics (?)
[/li][li]movers (tanks, trucks, rotating, etc)
[/li][li]buildings
[/li][li]landscape
[/li][li]weapons
[/li][li]furnitures
[/li][/ul]

That’s the categories I can think of right off the bat. furniture and aesthetics are pretty much the same though… Dunno about that. I know that prefabs are usually .map but I’d be inclined to include .ase since moving/rotating stuff will have to be made .ase at least and if they have to be made script_movers it should be made md3. So should we include that too? I know that it’s not a modeling contest so I think we could accept md3 IF the .map (as kind of proof) is included.

Please don’t spam the thread with useless chatter :slight_smile: Keep on topic and if some people have questions but aren’t too sure about posting I can be PM’ed but please, only if you have to.

With that said… Any thoughts?

It’s not that I wouldn’t like to host it, I only get 60KB/s upload so… It’s fine for what I host right now but not for hosting something like that :slight_smile:

Alrighty then, we have a hoster… NOW, if we only can get some REPLIES to this thread and how people see that contest… :stuck_out_tongue:
