I'm sorry to hop in.

But reading this "I like to use one of my unreleased maps for the contest" makes me sick.

I can't read it anymore. It's a damn contest and the rules are so simple: Build a map from scratch like in every contest.. Is that so hard to understand?
I only joined one contest over my mapping career and even I can followed that simple global rule… :noidea

Where is the fun and the challenge if you use a nearly finished unreleased map?


I'm really sorry for that but I needed to say something about this.

That is why I asked.

I don't really care for the contest, but my nearly finished map can be used as bonus material if that is ok..

if you want into the contest to win the EPIC pack build your map now ...new from scratch.
if you just want to have a map in the map-pack as a bonus content take unfinished stuff or build or rebuild or what ever.

But at the end we (staff) will have the last say... if for example, someone send in a re-textured Deck16, we won't put it into the map-pack.

So, are you in the contest or in the bonus round?

And here it comes once again "miss-understanding rules" eternal debate toward a contest rules:
- You need to start working on a map AFTER announcing beginning of contest (an old map might need 1 minute of work for being finished = almost cheating);
- All assets are UT default INCLUDING GOTY with official bonus packs - whoever need files, download all these "packs" and install them properly not lost files posted in forums;
- Bot Support - Operational and Not guessing and without testing and writing "reasons" - it's 2019 BTW - Asking help is under discussion. Without help map might go into another junk posting;
- Net Support - missing this and posting bullshit excuses = -100 points at final voting stage. Again - asking help... - ALL MAPPER can do some probing toward net games - read forum... I had ZERO mapping skill when I started my first net game :mrgreen: .
- Crusher map for 80% of players = Forum Warning = Temporary BAN until mapper will get a positive from the medical examination toward mental state. We are not here for ruining game;
- MAP means a file usable not only an UNR file with no purpose;
- Stock re-textured as other lousy simple things are not mapping and not in subject for votes as long as these are not a build from byte Zero.

Fans and Others:
Contributors with various assets, modifications, old unfinished maps and being finished right now, they are welcomed to introduce their show, outside of contest but as Add-Ons, a sort of protocol according to contest event, not a subject for voting winner.

Of course, this is what I understand toward a contest - I think I'm thinking straight... and I shared my opinion after looking at 3 pages of this topic which I don't get why does it need so much discussions. Are you mapper mapping news ? Prove that.

You want to add your map as a bonus content ...then please use the badge and add -20AC- before your map-name but after the gametype prefix.

Greetings!

Just stumbled across this thread yesterday. I'm interested but I've also been out of the game for awhile. Not sure if I can get up to speed and produce something quality in time with work and life and such. But I'd like to try! Maybe I'll start drawing/playing around in the Ed and see if I get anywhere in the next week or two. It would be cool to be a part of this.

Well folks, crisis! I can't get anymore big box UTs for prizes. :(

Not sure what to do. I can get jewel editions of UT99, UT3 (physical and Steam code) and UT 2004. Maybe a Steam code for UT GOTY? I can do that. :)

Thoughts? I'm actually feeling kinda stressed about this...

Whichever works for you best @Carbon. Are GOG codes possible?
