 Here's the deal. I'm bored and I want some quick ideas from the dedicated players that support FSK405. If you're hanging around here, well you're dedicated enough for me. ;)

Funmap design contest! Here's my loose rools and regularations:

Me - I'm dedicating 5 hours to a map. That's 1 hour planning, 3 hours design and 1 for debug. I want to make 5 funmaps and distro them as a map pak.

Gametypes - CTF, TDM, TS, BOMB, CAH

Environment - Whatever, think about maps you like and hack some ideas up about what you wish it could do that would work in a playable map

Stuff I that I probably won't allow - func_trains (i.e. transport helicopters), complicated designs, heavy amounts of shaders, etc

Stuff I will allow - fast paced sweaty breathless adrenalin bursting action, uh, yeah! I'm not here to make boring maps! That means interesting ideas or ways that you would like to see UrT played. Strafejumping madness anyone? Water world? Vertical mayhem? Weapon specialized map? A "that would be cool if" idea? Let's hear it!!

Contest starts now and ends Monday January 3rd 2005! Think like an engineer and K.I.S.S.!!! !amazed

Winnars get to spend an hour with me for a q/a session about the map, and get their names/logos/personally-satisfying-internet-memorabilia pasted in the map loading screen!

:V


edited! Added extra time plus more winnar goodeness!

 I agree with G, I also would like to see some sort of jungle map. Like a congo war terrain, but that might be too much detail, etc. given the time constraints. A map that plays like alleys, being close knit with automatic gunfire but on a larger scale like the size of Park Ave, but with hills like the hill in Golgotha or horizontal escalators like they have in airports.

Maybe more to come as well.

 Ok, these are good ideas. Admittedly, earl, your idea is a bit complex for the scope of this contest. You've got at least 3 different ideas wrapped up in there. ;)

G, I could look to try a very heavy hilly terrain map. The first thought I get is ut_twinlakes2. Would you go into some detail?

One map I would like to see is in fact something using loooong hills like golgatha (but much longer, I mean MUCH). Included in this idea is using nodamage surfaces for the ground.

Feel free to ask for assistance on what map features are reasonable, on capabilities of maps, or if your idea seems "out there". Keep the great ideas coming!

small maps draw more players than big maps.. i.e.. turnpike algiers abbey.. large maps are cool but lack the kick ass adrinaline action that a small map gives. IMHO

That would be cool, spas only with no available nvg's. Otherwise you are sitting ducks.

 Totally under water? Where are you going with this U? Let's hear some details..

You are generally correct Sasquatch. I look to use that trait to my advantage.

 I remember a rail only map on qii that was basically a huge box, (a cave?) completely filled with water and even though you couldnt move very fast. it was really very fast paced....shoot as many as you can before you get shot! drowning was hardly an issue cause you could rarely stay alive long enough to drown. dam it sure was fun....you could put the flags really close together like koth with maybe an air pocket or two at the top or something like that.. sr8 only?

 I've always had a concept for a map but was never good at map making. Tried it... but anyway. It's pretty simple. Basically a very long narrow one- room map. Symmetrical. The only place for cover would be spots just wide enough to hide a player. These cover spots should be along the sides. There is no cover in the middle. Flag carriers are forced to risk coverage in order to advance and . You should not be able to snipe unless you are fully exposed.(no shooting behind crates). No rooms, no doors.Except for spawn room maybe. Flag spawns can be seen from each other. No ground inclines or declines.Flat. Again the idea is to only have cover along the sides, if there is cover in middle it should be low enough that even when kneeling u r still 50% exposed. None of that "just the head peeking over a crate." In my mind I've always picrured it with grayish, concrete-type shades. Kinda like Subway2 maybe. You could call it Guantlet or something. ;) Good Luck wutever u do.
