Hive Workshop's First
Paired Mapping Contest

Welcome to The Hive Workshop's First Paired Mapping Contest. The idea behind this contest is that you have to make a map as a pair. You will be able to choose a partner to work on a map with for the contest.

With your partner you will be able to make a map of your choice, but I recommend that you stay away from maps that a lot of work to complete, like campaigns.



Rules
Here is a list of the rules you must follow if you plan to enter the Contest.


1. The Map must be made with a partner, solo made maps are not allowed.

2. The entered map can not of been started before the start of the contest. All Maps must be made from scratch and started after the start of the contest.

3. Only 2 people are allowed to work and enter a map, no more. The only things you can use that aren't made by you are models, skins, spells, systems or other imports that haven't been made specifically for the map.

4. All maps that are entered into the competition must be unprotected, so that I can look at the triggering and anything else I need to.

5. Custom Spells, Models and imports can be used, but you must acknowledge that they are not made by you, and they will not count towards to your score.

Judging Criteria
You can look here to a find a list of all the Criteria the Maps will be judged on.


Criteria
Description
Marks
Gameplay
How good the Gameplay of the map is. Is it fun to play?
/10
Terrain
How well has the terrain been made? If there are any imported Models or Skins how well do they fit in with the rest of the models and skins?
/10
Triggering
Was the Triggering in the map well made? How efficient is it? Are there many leaks in it?
/10
Object Data
How well made was the Object Data for the map? Were the spells in the map custom made, or just original warcraft 3 ones?
/5
Storyline
If there was a story in the map, was it original, or is it a story thats been used a lot before?
/5
[r]Quality
Did the map look professional, or did it just look like a bunch of units, doodads and triggers all just put into a map? Were all the tool tips working properly? etc.
/10

The winner of the contest will be decided by both Judges and the public. A team of judges will each judge a map, and the scores in all the different criteria will be averaged, giving an overall score from each judge. The scores from the judges for a map will then be added together. A public poll will then be made, and basically any votes that are made for the map will be added onto the score of the map.

If any of the Criteria can not be done in the map (eg. a Storyline for a Minigame or Melee Map), then it will simply not be marked on, so you won't get a 0 for it.

Judges
Bellow is a list of all the Judges. And also please rememeber that judges won't be able to enter the contest.

Nope, there isn't a limit, except if your making a multiplayer map you might want to try and keep it under 4mb, so that its playable on battle net.

Can I use systems I made from before the beginning of the contest for a different map?

That should be fine to use, as long as the actual map itself hasn't been started yet.

Weeeeeeeee -crash-

Anyways, this looks interesting. I might just play the maps..=) -shifty eyes-

Seeing this, im not gonna join as im a noobie mapmaker |_|. Im looking foward to all of your maps. Good luck.

Uhhh.. Here's a tip.
(Learned from my brother.)
Tip 1: Always keep the game simple, creative, and re-playable so that players can enjoy the game to the maximum.
Tip 2: Work on one thing at a time (etc. units first, then triggers) so that you don't get mixed up.
Tip 3: Don't think too hard ;)

frooker and I will join the contest with our upcoming map called "BEER BEER". It's going to be a custom race map with some gameplay variations. The story is pretty easy. Each player has a hero that mustn't die and your hero is thirsty. You have to defeat all other heroes to ultimately be crushed by a huge keg of beer. Background music might be Korpiklaani - Beer Beer, depending on how many new models we'll use and therefore how much MB we got left for useless music x)

I'd like to take a crack at this. I've got a couple of ideas brewing already.
If someone is interested, drop me a pm.

While I don't have any maps done to show for it, I know my way around world editor fairly well.

I would be interested in joining, but am in need of a partner, so if you're interested lemme know.

A short disclaimer:
-I would prefer that my partner know a fair bit about mapmaking, so we can split work better
-I would like to make a goblin-themed or goblin-related map if I enter in the contest
-I have a fulltime job, so I can only work at night

Thanks :smile:

Scythe_Master said:
Can I import custom spells, or does the spell creator have to be my partner?

This brings up an interesting point. Currently you suggest rating people on the object data/spells/triggers in their map, but do not mention anything to do with 3rd-party spells (like the ones available here)

This could end up with someone who knows nil about mapmaking getting a high score in these fields due to the good code of the spells they imported from good coders.

There should probably be some sort of clarification as to this issue (preferrably that either you can't use 3rd party spells, or that any 3rd party spells don't count towards your score in these areas)

I find it amusing that there are plenty of members searching for a partner even though there are other members advertising in this very thread.

I find it ironic that I'm doing the same, I'm in (I need a partner).

Anyways, if you wouldn't mind me disappearing for 3 weeks starting July 27, then I think I fit your criterion fairly well...
