Not sure, if I would get on with this contest, since 6 months of time = boredom. If its like with xmas contest that you have to use UGX mod, then that would mean I cant really work on other maps at same time, since UGX mod tools :/Maybe you could reconsider the need for the UGX mod in this comp. so mappers can continue to work on their non UGX, non competition maps without worrying about conflicting errors between the UGX/non UGX maps.
The reasoning behind this requirement is to focus the contest on the mapping and design rather than weapon porting. If everyone starts with the same mod base then they are on a level playing field, enables mappers without weapon porting skills to have a solid foundation, and allows mappers to spend the majority of their time on other aspects of their map. This is a mapping contest, not a mod contest.
Well its awesome, because on this i can have more time to work on my map and not only work on weekends :D
But the problem if we dont use UGX mod, a lot of people going to use "broken" weapons on their maps, also a lot of people dont know how to port weapons from others COD(i only know how to port cod4 weapons :D ) Also most maps going to have AW weapons and maybe BO weapons. Quote from the 1st contest:
well we would have 6 months which should give people plenty enough time to learn, port, and map, and if they have broken weapons it just makes it easier to choose a winner :PI just going to use cod 4 weapons because they are the best :D
Well its awesome, because on this i can have more time to work on my map and not only work on weekends :DWell what's the difference between everyone starting with stock weapons and then changing them if they want, or everyone starting with UGX weapons and changing them if they want?

If people don't know how to port guns well, then surely that's their problem? If someone doesn't know how to script, is it then fair to say 'people can't add custom scripts because some people can't script'? Or if someone can't map well, do you prevent good mappers from mapping because it's 'not fair'? Mapping, scripting and porting guns is all part of making a map IMO, if you don't know how to do one of these things, then find someone who does and team up, if not then that's on you. Just my 2 cents.
Please No UGX MOD! It is extremely difficult to work with it and it gives a lot of problems.
I left the Christmas Contest MAINLY because of the UGX MOD not working properly. Also because I didn't have enough time but mostly because of the mod.

I agree about not having to use the UGX mod. Even though, I understood for the christmas contest since it was so short, but 6 months is enough time to learn how to port weapons. There is tutorials on youtube on how to do it. Plus I could help teach people what I know if anyone needs help. Just note, I wont be teaming up with anyone, just giving a helping hand.
Also if we could submit multiple maps, that would work too. Just so we don't get bored easily working on the same map for 6 months. Since I tend to get bored after working on a map for 2-3 months.
One more thing, could we possibly do tv shows as well? I have been dying to work on a map based off of one of my favorite tv shows.

Hm, for some reason, somebody closed this post. Annoying. Anyway, I would love to hear back from map makers if any of you would be interested in participating in another YouAlwaysWin contest.

i would like to participate, already have a movie ill do :3 yes yes
I would love to hear back from map makers if any of you would be interested in participating in another YouAlwaysWin contest.Not really. I'm not trying to be negative here, but the contest is hardly about making the map. Sure the map can't be a box to win, but this contest is really about the scripting. I could spend 6 months making a nice looking map with my basic scripts and modifications that I can put together and still have a fun map, but it will always fall short to the maps that are crowded with custom scripts like gamemodes, wonder weapons, traps, bosses, complicated easter eggs, iron man suits, mini games, dolphin dive, dynamic events, AC130's, hunter killer drones, and other things that require more than a basic knowledge of cod scripting to do. My mind works well in 3D spaces so get it into code and my mind gets lost. Most of the stuff you guys find fun in custom zombies probably has some code behind it so it's not really fair. The only way to make the contest fair while having it be about the map is to have the map use Der Riese scripts and have nothing added custom via script. But that would be boring so why would anyone do that. So as long as the contest is this way, there just isn't any point in participating unless you yourself are good at scripting or have a friend who is. You can use community scripts I guess but there isn't a single one there that isn't overused as soon as it comes out making people tired of seeing it and no longer fun so that's a no.
let me guess, it has something to do with purple?I honestly was just EXTREMELY curious because we all know bwc(some numbers here)'s obsession with purple so I googled something real quick. Purple People Eaters was a film :D.

I would be interested in participating, but i think 6 months is a bit overkill. I think 4 months would be better, but we don't make the rules and should be thankful that u are considering in making another contest possible.

Then let's talk about fun. Fun was the biggest factor listed in the judging so what is fun? Fun to me is different than it is to you two. How am I supposed to make something fun for you two who decide if it's fun or not when what you think is fun is what I find to be boring? That doesn't make sense.
That's just 2 of the things I can see wrong with the contest. It is still my opinion that a contest is not the best way to give back to the community if that is what you are looking to do.

Jeez dude, a simple "not interested" would have sufficed.My bad, I thought you might be interested to know why I, and some others, don't want to participate in your script making contest.
to have the map use Der Riese scripts and have nothing added custom via script.
My bad, I thought you might be interested to know why I, and some others, don't want to participate in your script making contest. But I guess not as seeing from this post the only thing on your mind was exposure and money. I don't really care about your YouTube channel, by all means maximize your exposure and views as it's your job, but what was the point in this post if you don't care what is keeping people from participating? I thought this was an inquiry, not an "Okay, this is how it's going to be. Who's in?" post?
Crowded with custom scripts like gamemodes, wonder weapons, traps, bosses, complicated easter eggs, iron man suits, mini games, dolphin dive, dynamic events, AC130's, hunter killer drones, and other things that require more than a basic knowledge of cod scripting to do."Crowded"... there's a loaded word if I've ever heard one.
But I guess not as seeing from this post the only thing on your mind was exposure and money. I don't really care about your YouTube channelWhat's the matter with you ConvictioNDR? You've released several good maps in the past who's quality & fun factor could have given the top 3 maps in this Christmas contest a run for their money. I'm about one more complaint from you away from giving you my Daedra Descent treatment...and man you don't want that.

I'm about one more complaint from you away from giving you my Daedra Descent treatment...and man you don't want that.Read my first post, I've already given my opinion. That's all it was. My opinion. If you think they are complaints, then maybe you are too used to looking for complaints. Quit being so negative and all of the sudden they turn into opinions.
It's not like we're best bros and speak to eachother daily.YOU have best bros? Oh that's rich! :D
I'm about one more complaint from you away from giving you my Daedra Descent treatment...and man you don't want that.
YOU have best bros? Oh that's rich! :DSo my opinion is not a valid opinion because you are too lazy to read. That makes sense.
One of the main problems with your reasons or "opinions" is that their so freaking long they should be divided up into chapters. I've been very nice to you in the past even saying many nice things about your map "Backlot" (+1 for me). In fact if you were here we'd just hug it out right now...as men do! So just stopwhiningopinion-ing about the contest or else challenge Gunns to 12 rounds of bareknuckle boxing, livestream it and the proceeds go to charity.
Movies will be an interesting topic but it would be interesting if you expanded the topic to remakes. when I say remakes i don't mean remakes of 3arc maps i mean remakes from anywhere like games, movies books, or remakes of stuff in real life.
I would personally love to be a part of this contest. It was the Christmas contest that really sucked me into the world of Zombie Modding and aside from dealing with a few WaW engine limits, I've had a lot of fun doing random stuff over the past couple months.
The only hindrance to me is my own mapping ability, as I am a scripter/modder. I'm currently lacking the skill to create beautiful environments and models in Radiant and Maya, but with a 6 month time frame as well as the help of some of the incredible tutorials on here and on ZombieModding.com, I think I could do something to get some kind of attention. I don't predict that I'll make top 3 in this contest (especially if there are more submissions that the Christmas Contest), but I believe it will inspire me to make something as awesome as I can.
i dont get it, is the contest official or what?
I'll get back on the saddle if this happens :)Is this something you can fix and re-release the map or is it too much work/not enough motivation at this point? :D
North Co's problem was a model I subdivided too many times.. woops. lessons in game design can be rough I guess :p
Is this something you can fix and re-release the map or is it too much work/not enough motivation at this point? :D
if you do maybe you could change the theme to just remakes. (No not treyarch map remakes) i kinda want to make a chernobyl map ;).I just got the greatest idea: A Real-Life mapping contest. You are allowed to make different buildings and objects from different locations, but you have to have a picture of the object and you have to show comparison between the map and the pics.
