The most RiDiCuLoUs Mapping Contest!

This one does looks good for some 1on1 DM.

Also, do we have to use vanilla monsters (I assume scripted pawns) or can we code our own? What is the definition of monster in this case? Would UTDMT or a RTNP ScoutShip (if programmed properly) count?

EDIT:

With the 'Jupiter' map that I asked about size constraints, I think it would be cool to have a RTNP ScoutShip or Blimp of some kind going around the tower blowing players to hell. But I wont bother if the map is too big and just release it as a stand alone map.

A scripted pawn that is capable of harming players.

Hey, if you've got your own custom monsters, I've no objections.

wondering if this map is small enough?

That's okay, the playable area isn't so big.

Pulled this out of my butt in about 5 hours when I remembered the cut off was coming up.
I'm still faffing about with custom code for Jupiter, may need another year to finalise it...

Looks like a renderer issue so switch to OpenGL or D3D9/10/11 and try the map again.

Yep, that is addressed in the ReadMe, use OpenGL, D3D8+ may fix it too.

As ExpEM indicates, the Readme says "-The screenshots for the level are too large for the D3d renderer and will crash UT[436] - Running UT with OpenGL Renderer will fix this."

It is a good idea to switch permanently to D3D9 or higher as you will get improved graphics as well as avoiding the error you've now encountered. You can alternate between D3D9+ and OpenGL if you wish as they render things slightly differently and some maps work best with OpenGL rather than D3D9+ or vice versa.

If I read the first post right that means I still have approx 2 months?

That is what I use but I don't like switching my settings for every other map I play.

Contest ends on January 1st of next year.

The error message indicates you are using D3D rather than D3D9. There's no particular reason to change from D3D9 (except to try OpenGL sometimes perhaps).

[EvilGrins]

Hmmm... I'll doublecheck.

[sektor2111]

Check if this one it's crashing D3D render because of screenshot.
