Title: Re: Map of the Week award - oppinions plz
Post by: Wraithlike on November 20, 2006, 05:52:43 pm: Awesome choice, definitely deserved it, and has driven me to begin a better map (maybe)!
Title: Re: Map of the Week award - oppinions plz
Post by: ultraman on November 22, 2006, 04:51:16 am: I liked ash2 as well. Perhaps different categories for different map types would be an idea?
Title: Re: Map of the Week award - oppinions plz
Post by: Avarax on November 22, 2006, 10:28:02 am: that'd be too much if we chose 1 map for each gametype or atleast DM and CTF, and on the other hand it wouldnt be enough nomination worthy maps if we did only 1 gamemode each week
Title: Re: Map of the Week award - oppinions plz
Post by: Death MachineX350 on November 22, 2006, 12:17:50 pm: Nice choices there.
Title: Re: Map of the Week award - oppinions plz
Post by: Avarax on November 24, 2006, 04:17:53 am: Soap and Wraithlike have joined the Dark Side, that means a total of 6 nominations each week
Title: Re: Map of the Week award - oppinions plz
Post by: Plonkoon on November 24, 2006, 12:23:50 pm: I think you guys made a good choice because you didn't make it just about how cool the map looked, in which case either Easter Island or Morass would have won. This will encourage people who want this award to not just focus on visuals.
Title: Re: Map of the Week award - oppinions plz
Post by: scg_912 on November 24, 2006, 12:31:41 pm: I like CTF_Festen more than the rest because its such a big open area and for me thats awesome
Title: Re: Map of the Week award - oppinions plz
Post by: Avarax on November 24, 2006, 12:50:42 pm: ctf_Festen is a pain to play, i tell you.
and it doesnt have a big open area at all which is really populated during game.
Title: Re: Map of the Week award - oppinions plz
Post by: ultraman on November 24, 2006, 01:06:06 pm: So when are we gonna see the next set of nominees?

[subliminal message]pick ctf_stacked, I took away the annoying colliders[/subliminal message]
Title: Re: Map of the Week award - oppinions plz
Post by: Avarax on November 24, 2006, 01:27:12 pm: saturday.
Title: Re: Map of the Week award - oppinions plz
Post by: scg_912 on November 24, 2006, 01:35:28 pm: If that map ant no good then I would choose ctf_ash2
Title: Re: Map of the Week award - oppinions plz
Post by: ultraman on November 25, 2006, 07:08:12 am: Erm, ash2 already won last week...

Date Posted: November 24, 2006, 02:00:13 PM

Post by: Soap on November 25, 2006, 09:54:45 am: i vote ctf_kampf
Title: Re: Map of the Week award - oppinions plz
Post by: Avarax on November 25, 2006, 01:35:41 pm: This week's nominations are:

Wraithlike that whore hasnt submitted his nomination yet >=(

-------------------

Apart from that, Demonic will lead this weeks election, i won't be able to show up at the destined time in IRC.
Title: Re: Map of the Week award - oppinions plz
Post by: Plonkoon on November 25, 2006, 07:44:57 pm: Plastilin. Hands down.
Title: Re: Map of the Week award - oppinions plz
Post by: viggoloniggolo on November 25, 2006, 07:55:42 pm: celtic ftw.
Title: Re: Map of the Week award - oppinions plz
Post by: Iq Unlimited on November 25, 2006, 08:22:46 pm: either celtic or Plastilin :/ they both own :D
Title: Re: Map of the Week award - oppinions plz
Post by: Keron Cyst on November 25, 2006, 10:43:09 pm: ctf_Naom or dm_Plastilin. dm_Junglelake looks good but the waterfall effect totally turns me off; the scenery for the water running down diagonally is almost perfectly 45Âº, flat :-X
Title: Re: Map of the Week award - oppinions plz
Post by: Demonic on November 26, 2006, 05:59:53 am: We'll see how tonight's testing goes, but so far I can say that this project is a success; it seems to have gotten many mappers to be active again, and there are some nice maps coming up.
Title: Re: Map of the Week award - oppinions plz
Post by: Eagles_Arrows on November 26, 2006, 04:07:30 pm: We were not able to playtest TW_Battlefield due to the length of its name. I knew that was gonna happen. -_-;

The map name consisted of 14 characters (including the tw_ prefix) where the limit is 12.

Limit? What limit? ???
Title: Re: Map of the Week award - oppinions plz
Post by: VirtualTT on November 26, 2006, 04:58:58 pm: You could just rename file to ctf_tw_btf.PMS or something... i don't think this is real problem...
Title: Re: Map of the Week award - oppinions plz
Post by: Eagles_Arrows on November 26, 2006, 06:21:00 pm: ^I thought of renaming the file, but the others moved on to the next map before I suggested, so... Â¯\Âº_o/Â¯.

motw #9 will be delayed till next week, since a couple of committee members can't come and Demonic is quitting soldat.
So since Dem is away, we are searching one new committee member.
