[Cinematic] Cinematic Mini-Contest #2

I'm nearly done. Voice acting can be quite fun...

I got all day to try and find a music that fits and works and improve my cinematic a little.

Btw: This is the music I want to use but every time I import it and save it it comes up error. Anyone got any idea why? If so, do you know how to fix it?

It works for me.

You used a new map right?

It works for me when i import it into a new map, but everytime i import it into a map with triggers maybe i dont know, it fails. might be terrain or something else also.

Yes but now I tried and it worked for my triggered map too.

thats strange. Then i got to check if it works for me 2. You did save the map right?

It has never happened to me that after saving some sound wouldn't work anymore.

This is so not fun, I deleted the LostCaverns i had on my computer and downloaded the one i uploaded and guess what. IT WORKED!! AMAZING! thx Jaakko since I never would have tried it if you hadn't sad it worked for you.

I have had sounds get corrupted before, that can occur.

Tremble mortals and despair! Doom has come to this world!!

No, it's Mechmap cinematic!! Flee in terror!!

Here you are. It might not be perfect but I am not a pro at making cinematic either. Though I think that Jaakko's or frostwhispers cinematic will win cause they got voice acting. Though I haven't seen frostwhipers' yet... Maybe the public will prefer mine. xD!

Mine? My cinematic?
OHOHOHO, it is teh winz now!
Aanyway, I just need to polish up some shit-shats and I'm done.

So far I've checked all the cinematics (except Mech's) and they're pretty good.
Bob's scenery is great, yet Jaako's story rocks. Which to choose...
The mind ponders...

Well, mine might be under the standard of the other submissions... except for vnakiras.

After a great hurry I managed to finish my horrifying horror.

Dante's Hell - 1.59 minutes.

A story about a guy that refuses to believe he's dead.

Make it fit as an attachment or I won't count this as an submission. I am having computer trouble and visiting sites such as filefront is not an option. I won't comment further on this, negotiate or anything. Please just clear out some unneeded imports and properly attach it, thank you.

Same goes for maps uploaded into the database, though that is more out of a fairness perspective. Advertising in a map dev. thread is fine, but a head start by having the map in the database is not allowed.

Damn... I'll have to work on that then.

EDIT: I tried to export the unused parts but the used ones are so many most of them got deleted in the process. I cannot bring the filesize down without hammering down my entire effort. I've uploaded a .zip fail containing the map in my post though. If even this does not count as a submission, then feel free to disqualify me.

Why can't we put the map in the database? That's the place maps are supposed to be. And the deadline was tomorrow so it isn't too early today. Besides anybody who votes should see all entries and I can't see how this is connected to the map being published. If you just tell the voters to see all entries before voting I don't think there is any problem or is there?

@Jaakko - You can't get everyone to see all maps, imposible. But I can restrict map from getting uploaded in database yet, which I do. Please wait untill the end of the poll to do that.

@frostwhisper - Easy way to delete doodads not needed would be to export the ones you use, delete everything, import them again. Also as it is attached to the post now, it counts.

Maybe we should all just upload the maps to the database then if it would increase the chance of them all being watched? Uploading the map to database is not the same as asking for votes.

For this contest it will stay attachments only, please make suggestions in a new thread regarding the next cinematic competition.

So, ahh, is the contest over?

Nice!Going to test them all!

May I suggest adding the poll to the arena section rather than here. It will surely attract more voters this way.

Have anyone made suggestions for a new competition in this thread? Or are you just trying to get no one to post in here about next contest?

I don't think that we should post another cinematic contest so soon. Though if I do I want a big cinematic contest and not a mini one.

I agree with frostwhisper on this one. There are a lot more people hanging around in the arena.

Well, I finished last night, but seeing as the contest submission is over, ill just have to try next time. Even though it wont be judged,The cinematic is here:

Ok, I removed it from the database, just to avoid conflict. Here is the map in this thread.

Mechmap, avoiding talk about the next contest in this thread.

The poll will be here, but will be made in the arena and then moved here so people entering will see a redirect link. The purpose of the mini-contests are to bring more attention to the forum at hand, which so far has worked out well.

Maybe evil redneck's submission could be still accepted? It is still 30th after all. I thought the deadline is today making this day the last day to enter.

Well it was 00.00 the 30th, but I guess I could make exceptions for the confusion that might be common to people. If he uploads it in this thread and takes it down from the database then it's all good.

Is it really necessary to remove the maps from the database? I have seen a few maps fom the competition in there and I see no logic in removing them.
