The UT99.org 2021 No Rules Mapping Contest
Image

The utx file of the badge 512²
UT99org-NRMC.zip
After a year break, we are back with a mapping contest, we hope to see many submissions this year. :)

Deadline: December 19th 00:00 GMT (or UTC +0)

Rules (just a few, don't worry):
- Must have the badge (contest logo) added somewhere in the map, badge is above!
- Must have NRMC prefix in the final submissions name (for example DOM-NRMC-NameHere)
- Must be an original map started by scratch during the contest, not a clone of an existing one (maps started before the contest are accepted as Bonus Maps for the final mappack, however)
- A readme with credits of the custom texture, music, sound and other things you used)

Not rules, but these should help out:
- Have bot-support and a screenshot for the UT menu.
- Double-check to include all the files needed to run the map.
- Add a few screenshots of your map in your release post, to help draw interest for your map.
- Would be best to not overdo on custom files used, the maps will later be put in a mappack, and it would be better to keep it somewhat small in filesize.
- Upload the map and all it's files in a .zip, .rar or .7z file, in a filehosting site like MediaFire or Google Drive etc.

Voting will be done from December 19th till 25th, as a poll. During that time the mappers can iron out remaining bugs for the mappack.

Please put your submissions in this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=14845


Good luck!

Oh it's on :D. I'm sure that this will be another great mappack. Also if you have any questions about technical issues, or map layout, actors, bot support, etc. fell free to contact me to give you a hand.

Good luck to everyone. :tu:

Good luck to all the contest participants!

ProTip 2: anybody who uses the "Royal We" when making a demand wants to pass their own opinion as everyone else's.
ProTip 3: Only the people that do nothing but criticize don't make mistakes. Do things. Make mistakes. Learn from them. And screw those who do nothing but throw poison and criticize.
ProTip 4: If the Duke Nukem Forever fiasco wasn't enough of a lesson, perfectionism leads to nothing positive. Don't be afraid of releasing a buggy product. Even the most polished product has its flaws.

Why not? :shock:
And what would qualify as a "remake"? For example Deck_40, started as another Deck16 remake, but ended up something drastically different. It even has an "original" feel. So I guess this needs some clarification. If you got inspired by another map to make your map, or you took a few elements, is it "remake"?

In previous mapping contests there was a logo to be included in all maps.

There one for this?

Maybe you should have a mapping contest for maps that don't include the standard textures but are custom created. IMO going from 1 map to the other where the same standard textures are used makes for a boring day. They all look the same, only rearranged.

Yes, Tater, I agree. It would be nice to see NEW, plenty of NEW. :tu:
That said, we should be grateful that at least we still have mapping contests for this game. And I think the NO RULES approach is the right one. But yes, NEW would be nice.
