Paired Mapping Contest #1

[Arab4life]

You post it here with a post fully explaining the map, the map attached, and maybe some screenshots.

Nah im just guessing.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Ok Bob can I request that you increase the deadline by one more week

We dindt kept contact and started different maps.As I submitted Materia Rpg ,he started another map.

So we've lost some time

 

[Dil999]

You realize that we have almost two months left...?
I finished my Minigame contest map in the 3 days before it was due, 1 of them being brainstorming, so it shows you can make [fairly] good maps fast enough of you work hard.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Dill about minigames map,I've finished Legacy Of Rep in 3 hours,when hte contest started so th rest i was just watching at other players make their maps.

But you got to understand what me and Hereto are going to pull here will take some time.Actually alot

 

[Mini-Me]

The original deadline is 3 months. Its enough for any type of map. I personally dont want to see the deadline extented, it's ofc up to bob eventually. It definately wont be extented for a mere reason of miss communication between you, nearbyhermit and your partner.

 

[Bob27]

Bob, when i finish my map what i have to do ?????

Yea, attach it to the post. If you wanted you could pm it to me, but it would have to be released to the public sometime, since there will be a public poll.

And remember to only submit a map if you are sure it will be your final entry, because if you want to submit an updated version of the map after you have already submitted an older versions, chances are that we will not be marking your map again.

And I think that I have given people more then enough time, I will only extend it if there are almost no maps completed. And anyway it is way to early to even be considering an extension.

 

[NearbyHermit]

K Bob but ive already anticipated the result,not finished on time

But i will work twice as much,and if we dont finish it, will you accord me this week?

 

[Bob27]

If enough people have not finished their map, but will only need at max a week to finish it, then yes maybe. But chances are that I won't.

And I don't see how you can be certain that you will not finish this, since there is still over 2 months to go.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Bob read this PM and keep it personal,i dont want people to see what im planing

 

[Melkor_L]

Two Month enough time, i think that we have two weaks.

 

[Doctor-Pepper]

Actualy 2 month is enough time to make 2 good maps if you are realy working on it. So even if u go on vacation for 2 weeks and your grandmother get's sick there is time enough to create a playable version of the map before the deadline. U can polish the edges afterwards (i hope that you are not making a map ONLY for this contest)

 

[Arab4life]

Its not fair to have an extension just because YOU made a mistake in communication with your partner.

All of the other 30 something teams seem to have no problem with the dead line, yet there is a 1 week extension just because you made a mistake.

An extension should only be due if it was the person who made the deadline who made a mistake by making it too early. And Most or ALL of the teams are not finishing in time.

However if ONE team has a problem with communication, then you have picked the wrong partner, and that is your own fault.

2 months is alot of time. I finish maps in a week, and i only work on them for about 1 hour a day. 7 hours. You can stuff 7 hours into a day, a week, a month.

Dont give me bullshit about "But my map is deh pwnzors, it is so pwnzors it needs a biggilion years." Everyone is taking their time, and im sure everyone is making great maps. And when i say taking their time, i dont only mean working on the map slowly, but working on it easily and not letting it take ove rmost of their day.

Which i think is the primary reason why it was made a 3 month deadline. So people can brainstorm, go at their own pace. And make a good map.

You should try communicating with Hereto better. It sounds to me that its only YOU developing the map. And not letting Hereto contribute properly. Hear his ideas, and communicate with him properly, make sure that he has accepted to your idea/ideas and that you accept to his idea/ideas.

 

[Doctor-Pepper]

Hahahah, in a week, mapping 1 hour a day That should be a crappy map

 

[NearbyHermit]

Pepper Pepper,you will swallow those words soon enough

 

[Doctor-Pepper]

Lol, why would i swallow my words, ive just got em out.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Ok since Arab4Life is always right
I think the problem is with me ,I was a little discouraged by the event that occur between me and Hereto
I'm gonna have a personal chat with him and will settle our ideas and work-line

 

[Sacrimo]

Hey guys, since my partner lost motive and hasn't talked about it. I may not be able to finish the map, I will do my best since im working on the Mini Game contest.

 

[Chaos Overlord]

NO! I shall work! yeah but I did lose motive. That happens in about every contest ever. But this... I can do this. Lol have you ever tried to terrain 256 by 256? It just seems so hopeless... blahblahblah with my problems..

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

I am back finally=)
I gave the map to DeadlySheep and now i am ready to do some serious job.

 

[Horn]

we haven't touched our map in 2 weeks and it will stil win!

 

[Arab4life]

Ok since Arab4Life is always right

Yup. The arab is always rigbt.

Well not really. And pepper, 7 hours is enough if you work hard enough.
You seem to be over confident with your Loap Copy map, maybe you shouldnt talk about other peoples maps untill you actually play them.

 

[salamander]

Some people can complete a lot of work in a short period of time using WE. If one plans before actually loading up WE, much work can be done, I however, tend to stare at WE and attempt to think at the same time, very inefficient.

 

[Doctor-Pepper]

maybe you shouldnt talk about other peoples maps untill you actually play them.

Lol, i am not playing a map that was made in 7 hours

 

[BumbleBee]

I suscribed to this thread now what?

 

[Pyritie]

Now you will get updates on your User CP whenever someone posts something here.

 

[BumbleBee]

But how do i join the comp?

 

[Pyritie]

You just write here saying you'd like to join, what your map's name is, and who your partner is. It's all in the first post.

 

[Eric the odd]

Hi i want to join the paired map contest my friend Wallus (hes on Battle net) made the triggers and most of the units and i did the terrain and story the name of the game is Epic Battles.

 

[Arab4life]

Lol, i am not playing a map that was made in 7 hours

Technically

Some people can complete a lot of work in a short period of time using WE. If one plans before actually loading up WE, much work can be done

So if hermit already has it planned then it took more then 7 hours.

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Where is DeadluSheep_1??He has the map and i haven't seen him online for a long time.

 

[Pyritie]

Hi i want to join the paired map contest my friend Wallus (hes on Battle net) made the triggers and most of the units and i did the terrain and story the name of the game is Epic Battles.

You'll have to get him to make an account here too then.

Also, you can't join if you completed your map beforehand...

 

[SuPa-]

NO! I shall work! yeah but I did lose motive. That happens in about every contest ever. But this... I can do this. Lol have you ever tried to terrain 256 by 256? It just seems so hopeless... blahblahblah with my problems..

Yes I have, many times over. Many people most likely have. It's a very big map size... but we're using that size too (Shados and I) -_- suckage, yes

 

[Gausslander]

No entries so far? I'm surprised!

 

[Pyritie]

It hasn't even been a month yet and you're already crying for entries? Sheesh.

 

[Bob27]

You'll have to get him to make an account here too then.

Yea Pyrite it right, get him to create an account.

And haven't seen many screenshots or something lately, that offer still stands, and if you post screenshots or something else of your map I will give you rep.

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

i would have post some screenshots but DeadlySheep_1 has the map and i havent done anything lately until he gives it to me.But..i haven't seen him around and that worries me.

 

[Mini-Me]

Lot of people seem to have communication problems. My suggestions:

Get an email account (example at www.hotmail.com)
Get MSN
Dont work with anyone who doesnt have MSN address.
Get your partners MSN address
Use MSN

If your partner doesnt want to use msn, forget about him and find a new partner who will. Then there shouldnt be so many complaints "I havent heard of my partner for 24h omg omg".

 

[Pyritie]

I don't do MSN. I guess that's just another reason for people to not bug me about me joining them for this... too busy on my own campaign.

[EmBeR_NaGa]

Yea .... well .. don't you have any friends that like Warcraft or something?

Otherwise go to Battle.net or something and get some friends here or Battle.net (I Prefer Battle.net since its more easier ).

Then of course you can just PM someone here or something (whatever floats your boat) and then try and find a partner here.

And you can't have me since I have a partner already lolz.

No entries so far? I'm surprised!

WELL DUH!!!!!!! THERES ONLY 2 MONTHS LEFT WHAT'D YOU EXPECT ... people these days become lazy and stuff and probably not even finish their maps (not offending anyone in the contest of course or anyone in Hive).

Map Percentage as of Today:
Triggers - 90%
Terrain - 72%
Units - 97%
Sounds - 100%
Imports - 100%
Abilities - 89%
Secrets - 90%

 

[frooker]

(BEER BEER is already finished, we just don't want to demoralize you guys! Therefor we plan to retain the map for a couple of weeks!!1)

 

[Doctor-Pepper]
