[borissuworov]

OK... Then I post my final-entry here: Warrior Shrine

 

[Maxwell]

Gathering the final entry's into one post for you @StoPCampinGn00b

1. @Maxwell = (2)Emerald Nightmare | HIVE

As I said, it's not final entry. But anyways thank you <3

 

[The Panda]

As I said, it's not final entry. But anyways thank you <3

Thats your entry in the map section so you would have to update that one when you make any changes, correct?

 

[Maxwell]

@The Panda Yeap, it is so.
By the way guys, as Rufus said you can't edit your final entry even after the ending of contest. So if you want to continue working on your map be sure to attach final entry here, in this thread. It will give your oppertunity to edit your map in Map section after the contest.

 

[Razvan]

I'm sorry, I have to drop. I hoped the time will be enough for me to try, but apparently it isn't.
Good Luck to all .

So a person from a waitlist have 4 days to end his map intime...

 

[The Panda]

There aren't many people giving final maps yet nor a work in progress, so some people on the wait-list could enter i believe.

 

[Razvan]

Yeah..sorry about that , I really had no time to post because something intervened + I have an exam next week so I kinda had to drop, unfortunately.
Sorry again.

Well, that's not necessarily @Razvan's fault when those people on the wait list should have made their stuff anyways just in case. There was no certainty they would get in the contest anyway. This is the drawback of a limited entries contest.

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

First off, I want to apologize for distancing myself from the contest when people needed clarification on various things. This is why I've transferred the contest hosting responsibility to Naze, who's shown to be more active and on top of his game, so my inactivity is no longer a burden on the contestants.

Do not blame Naze for some of the neglect or confusion that came from my side. He's taking up a pretty hard task that's been under way for a while. Anyway, thank you everyone for being super passionate about this contest.

 

[titans_zealot]

On the updated list it says my final entry isn't in while I already submitted it in a unorthodox fashion with a 3 time post.
So here it is just in case !

 

[doom_sheep]

WIP bits

 

[eubz]

Goodluck contestants.

 

[Erkan]

Hi everyone. The deadline is approaching so I decided to post a second WIP here. The map is still unfinished for the moment, but it should be done soon enough. It may look bare bones, but I welcome any feedback about what is already here.

Anyways, good luck & have fun creating everyone.

 

[Rockstar356]

Hey Guys!
Just posting screenshots of my map...
Maybe tomorrow i have my final entry!!!

 

[ysuk9127]

River Valley 0.3

Here is my final map.

 

[Mr.Henci]

Here is my second and last WIP:

WIP #2

+ here is BETA of my map, if anyone would be so kind and gave me some contructive feedback (Gameplaywise it's ready, I just need to and decorations, so ignore some empty places)

 

[Naze]

PAY ATTENTION: to have a valid entry you must:

• Post a WIP in this thread;
• Upload your final entry to the map section of the site (here);
• Post a link to your final entry in this thread.

Some entries are not classified until uploaded to the map section. Please upload them and then post a link here: @Anomines @Twilight @Mads Buus @titans_zealot @mafe @XanderD

On the updated list it says my final entry isn't in while I already submitted it in a unorthodox fashion with a 3 time post.
So here it is just in case !

You're in the situation I said above. Please upload your map on the Map Section of the site and then post a link to your map in this thread.

For example, do just like how this guy did:

River Valley 0.3

Here is my final map

 

[deepstrasz]

Upload your final entry to the map section of the site (here);

I don't think this should be mandatory since here, where we write, is the contest thread.

 

[mafe]

Thanks @Naze, I'm aware I need to do this, will probably upload the current version later today. Also, just in case, is it possible to polish the "presentation" of the map after the deadline, i.e. adding screenshots, additional explanations of why I made certain aspects of the map that way etc to the entry in the map database?

 

[Naze]

I don't think this should be mandatory since here, where we write, is the contest thread.

I know, but it's in the Rules & Conditions since the very start of the contest, it can't be changed now. You may remember that this rule exists because for years people created great quality resources for contests but ended up not uploading them to the site - with the intention of polishing them before doing so.

Also, just in case, is it possible to polish the "presentation" of the map after the deadline, i.e. adding screenshots, additional explanations of why I made certain aspects of the map that way etc to the entry in the map database?

Yes, no problem with that =)

 

[The Panda]

Here is my map final.
Coral Reef 3.0

 

[Blood Raven]

Here's my first WiP. I have a nice idea for the shadowmap, but alas my layout isn't nearly as creative.

 

[MysteryMaze]

Additional WIPs.

Map was originally created as 96 x 128 and below are scaling down process.

 

[titans_zealot]

here is my upload final entry:
Chocolate Robot

(gosh a lot of other ones are a lot better looking!)

 

[Knecht]

one more WIP, might actually send final tommorow

 

[Paillan]

So, final WIP. I really doubt I'll change anything about it, but still. Take a look or two.

 

[Maxwell]

My final entry: Emerald Nightmare
Pastebin: (2)Emerald Nightmare | HIVE

 

[Anomines]

Guys could you help me out and check if you can open my map. Sadly WE crashes all the time when opening it (WE stopped working)
Dont know if its for everyone
Its still playable, just not openable in the Editor (Vanilla, no WEU and other Stuff)

Also no customimports or any stuff like that

[mafe]

This will be my entry for the contest.
Fields of Ruin v0.90
I will probably make some minor changes in the next days, but if I dont find time, then this upload shall count as my submission.
Again, I would be thankful for any constructive feedback.

Good luck to all other entrants. I've seen numerous very good maps here, so I guess it will be though competition. I had a lot of fun looking at other works, and will try to continue doing so until the deadline. Would be great if there would be another contest in the future.

 

[Sharkarsh]

wondering if it's ok to put me up on wait list again, but since there's few than expected particitipant list, I guess it's ok, no?
I know it's late, but I can guarantee I will make it. if it's not possible then it's ok.

anyhow, just got this interesting idea about fire and forest and shame not to put it up on make, now here's a very early shot.

edit : added mini sneak peak I plan

Hidden

 

[MysteryMaze]

Here is my entry ( could be more updates1)

Irresistible Mind

 

[Nudl9]

Entries table has been updated with WIPs and final entries, and so did the waiting list. Remember that all contestants that have no WIPs and final entries at the deadline will be disqualified and people from the waiting list (with valid entries) will qualify in their place.

So queued entries are just gonna waste their time on making a map that may or may not be entered? Either you set the bar entry limit or you don't, what the fuck is this shit.

 

[forsaker]

Here is the link to my final entry. There might be one more update, but that's about it!

Forsaken Trinity

Oh didn't read that, thanks.

I should stop then hehe.

 

[Paillan]

@StoPCampinGn00b here's my final entry: (2) Divided by Flame

 

[Twilight]

Here's my final entry! I didn't edit the description a lot, I just copied the one I had posted. WIPs were also posted when I first uploaded the map on this forum.

The Hidden Shrine(2)

 

[pick-a-chew]

So queued entries are just gonna waste their time on making a map that may or may not be entered? Either you set the bar entry limit or you don't, what the fuck is this shit.

Because if you have ever paid attention to any of the Hive's contests, you'll know there's a big disparity between people who say they'll enter, do a WIP and submit a finished product, and those who actually do. It is typical for a significant number (over half in some cases) of contestants to drop out of any contest. The contest's deadline draws near, and yet about half of entries are still pending/AWOL, so it's very likely that at least some people on the waitlist (who have both a WIP and a finished map) will be entered. The bar has to be set because the contest has a cash prize (so obviously will be popular) and the judges have to set themselves a limit (melee maps are one of the hardest and most time-consuming map types to judge/evaluate properly).

 

[Blood Raven]

WiP2, layout is still unoriginal as hell, but whatever.

 

[Knecht]

Here's the final version: Thawing Snow

Left it with all its flaws and whatnot.
Good luck to all participants.

 

[Naze]

Entries & wait list has been updated.

According to the rules @XanderD and @Mads Buus still have to post their final entries to the Map Section and then post a link here, otherwise we can't consider them final entries.

 

[Abovegame]

Interesting that we've got 18 final entries so far.

 

[deepstrasz]

I guess the final submission is that which is last written here as a comment linking to the respective map thread. That means any edits before the contest ends are allowed.

 

[Anomines]

I also can't open it.

Thanks.
Could kinda restore parts of the Map with MPQ merging old Ver and the corrupted Version.
Took me many hours to find out what the problem was but apparently it corrupts the map when you change the Minimap displaycolour of waterfalls. Didnt know that and tested it with separate maps.
After that always corrupted.

Other doodads and destructibles work just fine

 

[shinji]

Sorry, couldn't find time to work on it because of exams I will have to drop out.

 

[forsaker]

Interesting that we've got 18 final entries so far.

It is a bit more than that. The table on the first page is not up to date.

 

[Daffa]

When the total hits 30, get ready for the left out train.

 

[Arrr]

deadline on the 21.. does it mean I can upload it tomorrow?

 

[TheEarthquake]

Here it comes: My final contest entry!
(4) Temple Field

Good luck to everyone on the contest!

Enjoy reviewing!
