cant be long now, or this month would be nice, im sure the first Comosea release was this month in 2012, nice nostalgia if Requiem was this year same month

Can we use custom music that we create? I want a custom pack a punch jingle. There's no way it could be copy righted right?

I suppose a self-composed jingle for specific items are OK, but if we feel that the sound effect/music resembles something similar to a commercially recognized song or copyright protected sound effect, we may disqualify the map altogether as we will not put our channel at risk over music or sound effects.

I fully understand your concern. Will the map be qualified if you could mute all the music?
My aim is to create a great experience and of course, that can't be done without using some copyrighted music

ok thats weird, i imagined if you did reply, you'd use a wink, and you did, no that just weird.

Yes, of course, as long as we can mute the music, that wouldn't be a problem. The issue is that sometimes map makers put music into the maps that are not controlled by the Music volume and therefore present possible copyright issues for us. We always have music turned off because of that, and as long as your music is controlled in that manner, there shouldn't be any issues.

ok so i have 2 question
1. you said i have to use UGX mod but can i make small modifications like names of guns and zombie models?
2. is it ok if i send a copy to a friend to do some coop testing?

He answered both of those.

1. You can modify anything you like on ugx mod, add guns, scripts, change names, anything, just need to use the base mod.
2. You can send it to anyone to do testing just cant release it anywhere or make videos of it before youalwayswin gets it

All map entries are required to use UGX Mod (v1.0.4)
 - You should use the latest UGX Script Placer v2.0

i have been told by a friend the ugx script placer v2 messed up there mod tools
and i don't want to risk aliean text at main menu.......

but thanks anyway but ill pass

The part after what you copy/pasted also says you can install the mod manually if you prefer, so stop whining and actually try to help yourself.

Alien text is not a problem with your tools or your map, it is due to not following directions for compiling and can be fixed in seconds by simply compiling your mod.ff and running UGX Project Mover.

No one has posted or expressed any concerns with the new script placer yet, so please forward any problems to me or SajeOne so that they can actually be fixed.

$1000 dollars for first prize? Holy cow, that is a LOT!

Too bad I already started my winter map. Will you be uploading videos of all entries or just the top three?

Good luck to all the contestants!

EDIT: Just realized I read the OP wrong, you can have revealed your map to the public just not released it. Still, my map is not really Christmas themed, just snowy. I guess I could add a few things to make it a little more Christmas-y.

• Maps must be new projects and not a pre-existing WIP, to ensure that the contest is fair.

look again wunderful

Are sounds such as "Ho Ho Ho" allowed - I have a pretty cool idea, and it would kinda be odd with out this.

Sound Effects like that are not in the YouTube copyright system because they are not copywritten music owned by a music label, so there shouldn't be any worry with sound effects as far as I am aware.

Oh hello, everybody! It appears it's my first post here so letme introduce first - I'm BraXi, author of CoD4 Deathrun Mod and a guy who helped developing CoD Reign of The Undead Mod, I also like mapping and doing 'things&stuff' , oh and I hate zombies... that's why I'm killing them all

Looks like I've finally found a SERIOUS mapping competition so it's time to dust of Radiant, install CoD:WaW and enter competition 

Good luck to everybody participating!

Here are some screenshots from my previous projects http://imgur.com/a/cRis6 (sorry but some are from diferent map versions and often a WIP)


Edit: I've got some questions regarding map design
1. are we allowed to manipulate weather and time (day/night cycle)?
2. can environment be destroyable?
3. Can I skip adding perks and purchaseable doors? I've got an idea for map but these 2 things conflict with it, I'd tell more about why I prefeer to not include them, but then my map wouldn't be a suprise 

 and can we use music we've got right for (for example a friend makes ambient sound/music for my map)?
