For the last half year or so Scene Editing has been basically dead and everything that was done, was either done by teeth or myself and the entries from the community itself were extremely rare and that's quite sad. It's gotten to a point where most of the old maps have been revisited and either made it in or are now gone for good. So, we need some new blood in the mapping scene and what's not to like about getting loomz/gold/eventitems and whatnot. What exactly will be given out to the participants, and, if there are enough entries, winners of the voting, is quite unsure yet, but i want people to get started with the maps as soon as possible.
So, let's set some dates now. Last day to submit entries will be
30th of november. Then we will hopefully get a patch to get the maps ingame and after a week of testing the maps, you will get a chance to edit your map ONCE. So, on
7th December there will be another patch to update the entries. On
14th December i will start the vote, which will last for another week, so the rewards will be handed out just for christmas =D
(Assuming there are enough entries to warrant an actual contest, if there are not enough every participant will just get a default reward, meaning not the fancy event stuff)
So,
HOW DO I MAEK MAP?I'm not gonna talk a whole lot about the issue know, because we already have plenty of material you can read up:
http://forum.melee.org/scene-editing/To be more precise:
http://forum.melee.org/scene-editing/map-making-and-siege-beta-guide-submitting-and-maintaining-maps/Also, you can always hop on IRC (
http://forum.melee.org/index.php?action=chat) and give me a poke. If i don't answer instantly either leave the tab open and i will answer your questions later, or try another time. Or give me the link to your profile and i will answer here on the forums per PM.
Where do i send my entries?
First, you should go ahead and make your own thread in Scene Editing where you will collect all your progress. I will collect all the entries in the stickied thread afterwards.
That's about everything that is needed for this, i guess. First time i'm starting a contest, so if you have suggestions how to make it better, feel free to tell me.
