Idea of Contest:
The most of default maps have been the same from day they were selected into Soldat. There's need for developing default maps: some of the maps aren't played much, some might look boring and some might have bugs. It's not a promise, but I believe upcoming Soldat versions have use for remakes.

Special Info:
Only ctf maps are recognized for contest. You are allowed to use original default map as a base but you can also make full remake (which is preferable if you are going to remake map in different size). You can consider only develop looks or fixing gameplay issues. Remember that we don't want to ruin basic structure of maps. I wish you name the map related default name, for example, ctf_Laosremix ctf_Laos3, etc (remember check that mapname is not already on use).

I highly recommend that you select a map that isn't popular, especially when you aim for full remake. So don't try find new gameplays in ctf_Ash (opening new routes, adding polyislands), it won't be so likely that it could get into official version. Check out this link to see which maps are popular and which aren't: http://stats.sctfl.net/index.php?map=ctf_Steel .

I also recommend replying into this topic which default map you are going to remake, so that we would get as many remakes as possible from different default maps.

Deadline: 31.7.2009

I'll be remaking dropdown2

or would that be re-remaking the original dropdown...

DarkCrusade · « **Reply #3 on:** June 17, 2009, 01:30:09 pm »

Then I do ctf_Ruins, expect a very custom map if it is not a default contest

I'm making nuubia winter remake by request from gamecommunity.ru
actually it won't be remake, but something simular in size and layout style

Suowarrior · « **Reply #5 on:** June 17, 2009, 02:25:24 pm »

In addition, if you resize map. I would see both original and remix overviews at same scale in posts, so that we could see how much map is smaller/bigger.

Gameplay is perfect ... looks are bad

VTT will remake it by the way

345 bravo wins and 214 alpha wins doesn't sound so balanced imho for nuubia that is.

I don't know if I'll be able to finish a map until the deadline, but I'd like to remake ctf_kampf.

jrgp · « **Reply #13 on:** June 19, 2009, 09:19:47 pm »

I'd like to do a hell themed ctf_Dropdown. (the first one, not dropdown2. is that allowed?)

As de Espada · « **Reply #14 on:** June 20, 2009, 10:07:07 am »

ohh! if that's the case, I would like to fix ctf_Crashed (Bridge)

Basic layout is the same, so yes it's allowed. I liked actually the first one more than second. Same goes with Equinox

About Nuubia, balance could be easily changed by changing spawns (for example deleting bravo's spawn near center). The map layout is itself damn good.

Do what you like to do, it is all with your thoughts

I will propably do laos.
Is it fine to do some layout changes?

Yes, as long as people can say: "It's like Laos"

DarkCrusade · « **Reply #18 on:** June 21, 2009, 04:30:18 am »

Oh my god, I had a cool idea for ctf_Laos. Best remake would probably be renaming it to ctf_Chaos

I have a remake of ctf_Laos that I was working on months ago, I guess I will do it, too

As de Espada · « **Reply #19 on:** June 25, 2009, 07:20:23 pm »

can I remake ctf_Crashed?
It was default a while ago
