Yeah, well I hate the theme. If you don't like imports then don't use them. If you want everyone else to do the same. Quit whining and don't make a terrain then.
It isn't melee.Wait, you're tasked with making a melee map and you can use the UTM? That's rubbish, takes out half the excitement of the entire bloody contest. Whatever, though, there isn't a good reason why you shouldn't use imports, but I think half of the skill in terraining is in using your ability to make the world beautiful, not in using beautiful models and having your terrain stuck along for the ride.
Because I think the UTM being used for melee maps is utter blasphemy, but is certainly within Gilles' right to do as the contest leader, I'm going to sponsor a mini-contest inside of this one. If there are more than 3 entries and you make your terrain without any imports at all and score in the top 3, I will double your reputation reward.
Savvy?
Well the idea is to create an environment, not necessarily a "map". Just a landscape that is walkable as apposed to the usual "art terrain".It would appear so. Nothing in the rules specifies any sort of restriction on exactly what you make, only that it be playable.
So it would appear that you're correct there. Bleh, then most of my little challenge really doesn't mean anything. AoS maps/etc with imported doodads really don't mean anything.Gilles said:It isn't melee.
That is me just giving rep because it's something I can do. It doesn't require any additional rules or anything.Rising_Dusk said:So it would appear that you're correct there.

Anyways, so as to avoid trying to usurp the contest from Gilles (and because it isn't just a contest to make a melee map) I should revoke my previous challenge. How about this -- I'll give people who place in the top 3 without using custom doodads (and of course only if there are more than 3 entries) some rep on the side. I can't double the contest reward, but I'll certainly make it worth the effort.
That sound fair?
Okay, then I won't be.No you won't, silly.

Meh, I just can't do it... I don't got the spirit to work on this contest and I don't got any good ideas to make this look good. I'm out D:
Ahh, quit your whin'n.Damn winter. Just, damn winter.
Please don't use mis-representative analogies, they completely nullify the entire point of whatever it was you were saying. It would be more appropriate if you likened the standard paint brush Da Vinci had that came with his canvas to an imported, high-quality, camel-fur paint brush made for the Pharoahs in Egypt.Childeric said:If Da Vinci had used a rock rather than a brush to paint the Mona Lisa, just to prove he was the best, i doubt itd look as good. v_v
I find it difficult to covey the contest theme.
Basically make a landscape in the world editor. This ladscape cannot be 2-D like most terrain contests, but must be fully walkable, and completely terrained.
With 2d, do you mean that you have to use blizzard cliffs to make it 3d? Or do you mean just increasing the height level of the ground. Like hills and stuff.
Thank you.damn men just make a fucking terrain in wich u can move a damn footman that whont go throu trees and shit
And thank you.By 3d I think he means that all the stuff you create gotta be pretty and wisible from all angles.
In a 2d or terrain picture the angle you look in it looks pretty, but if you you turn the camera around you find absolutely nothing because it Aint visible or hidde nbehind things, but in 3d everything would have to be
