Summer Prefab and Modelling Contest

(MadJack) #41

First I have to tell you that I will not download those prefabs myself. Simply because there is only ONE submission made of each model for each category. No new version or new texturing will be accepted in the contest if it’s the same model. So, if I download the prefab and you don’t win but end up being angry because the version I got wasn’t the “real” or last one you had made, then you will only have yourself to be angry with. Not me. :slight_smile: If you feel like the model(s) is done and ready for submission please use my email.

Also don’t forget to READ the instructions! The prefabs has to be in PK3/Zip format. This is much easier to handle with readmes, different textures, downloads, etc. Make sure, again, that the model/prefab you’re about to send is the latest and final version, that it rotates and don’t have problems. If there are problems with it in our tests it only means there is less chances of it being a finalist, it will not be discarded.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to PM me. As someone’s sig says, better being thought a fool than to remain one.

@ tigerpanzer, that email is correct but please, refrain from putting it in the forum, I’ve got enough spam as it is :slight_smile:

@Madjack … sorry, i didn’t want you still more spam.

Another reason that it needs to be a Zip/PK3 (as MadJack told me as I questioned this) is because browsers will attempt to open up the .map, which is bad. On my hosting, after I tried it, I ended up with some odd errors.

It’s not bad that judges don’t know the rules AFTER the contest started, right? :stuck_out_tongue:

some thoughts:

tigerpanzer, i love your preview pics. the flak looks great and the warehouse even more,
but i dare to say: buildings form the character of a certain map. while a flak is produced many
hundred if not thousand times, one will find such weaponry everywhere - but a building will
most likely only exist once. be it a bridge, a town hall or a warehouse… you wont find this
building in any nearby town.
the warehouse DOES look great… and that’s why it would definitely hurt to see it on
different maps :frowning: great buildings shouldn’t be raped as prefabs :moo:

(Mr_Tickles) #45

Thore, yes I can see what you mean.
But, buildings are one of the categories of prefab in the competition :slight_smile:

However, this does mean that the building could be a background kinda building, but that isn’t to say how detailed it should be…

(MadJack) #46

I will certainly use that kind of building. That it can be found in one or twenty maps is irrelevant imo. If it’s good, it’s good. :slight_smile: But, as usual, that’s just me :smiley:

(tigerpanzer) #47

hi and thanks for preview my pics… :slight_smile:
i have still mapped a prefab for category “vehicles”. its a static vehicle… german sturmgeschütz IV

Since I can’t seem to get my command map icons working, I’ll work on the prefabs for the moment. I still don’t know exactly what I’ll be submitting, but there’ll probably be one in furniture (Lamp, flower pot, or some other thing), maybe a prop to strew about the landscape.

(MadJack) #49

Sure, no probs. :smiley: I’ll be happy to get it when you’re ready to submit it.

Don’t forget that you can send more than one prefab in the same category but only one can be used for the contest.

(capslock trojan) #50

when is it gonna end the contest els ill wait some more and (because of the no update)(maybe ill get more idees and then i could make some more prefabs :smiley: )

btw got so far 26 prefabs :d small thing and some big things :smiley:

(MadJack) #51

That’s good!

The no resubmit rule only applies to the same prefab. You can send 10 different prefabs if you want, that’s no problem. Just make sure you don’t send the same prefab twice.

(capslock trojan) #52

okay madjack but ill do it al in once that will make it a lot easyer 4 you kay?

do the pk3/zip include a pict of the prefab? if so a pict out radiant okay
because ill have a lot of compiling it all

btw panzer nice prefabs really like your warehouse[/quote]

(MadJack) #53

It’s fine by me if you want to send everything at the same time though watch out for file size in the attachment. I don’t know the max size is with my provider, I think it’s 5 MB but I might be wrong.

If you include a pic, it would be preferable to have one in a test map or something that looks good. If you can’t don’t worry, it’s no big dieal. The more pics I have provided with .zip or .pk3 the better so I won’t have to go and screenshot each and everyone of them.

Anyway, I don’t think it’s a real big deal to make a pic. Since you have to check it in a map, why not make a screenshot when you’re happy with the result while you’re at it? :slight_smile:

(capslock trojan) #54

kay ill work on some picts now
btw 46 prefabs right now :smiley: :smiley: 5MB not a problem man the 46prefabs are in 1 pk3 and there just 500kb so not to big huh :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

(MadJack) #55

That’s great !!

I know I’m demanding a lot, always asking and stuff but it’s for the sake of the contest and people wanting to have those afterward. :slight_smile:

With that said, it would be really nice if in that .zip you would have each prefab in a different zip file. I’m asking because it might not be everyone that would be interested to get the whole thing. One or two prefab is maybe what the person needs. Download one, then later get what is needed instead of having the lot at the same time…

More convenient this way I think.

(capslock trojan) #56

okay but do you now if its possible to put different pk3 al into 1 pk3 because if i send you 46pk3 i think you will flip out and that’s not the plan eh
:smiley: :smiley: :bump:

(LaggingTom) #57

Put all of the .pk3 seperately in one .zip file.

(MadJack) #58
