Special Battle: The Hidden Source

[ferret]

Another small update for me:

I followed wiggle's advice and changed the setting to day, to make gameplay smoother.

Here's the manor with some more progress and new rooms:




And here's the newly (almost) finished "Loonitarium" for the looneys:





And an overview so far:


This is about 7 hours work so far
Much more to come

Looking nice ferret! All the other entries are nice too. I would enter but mine would be the suck compared to these.

[Grim Reaper]

What did you change? Right now I've got three Iris starts and a Hidden start. Actually, just to check, the Iris should use info_marine_start right?

my info_marine_starts were inside a funk_trigger that didnt work :S just god rid of the trigger.

How many maps is going to win???

I really like the house!!!

But i also like the other one!

[Deckaux]

Is there a list of participating designers?

[BaRRaKID]

There is only one winner, but the team from hidden can ask for more then one map if they think it deserves it, and it's up to the mapper tode cide if he wants to give it or not.
And there is no list of who is participating, i guess we will only know at the end

However, if I step under some sunlight streaming in, or directly into the beam of one of my spotlights, certain parts of my map light up, as if they reflect exactly what I look like. Here's a comparison shot:

...

Does anyone know what's wrong with the map? I don't know why this is happening, but it kind of ruins any sort of atmosphere I've created when every 2 seconds things flash different colours...

Did you use textures for models? It looks like you have pipe textures. If they have 'props' in their names you can't use them as they are. if you're determined to use them i believe you can with some modifying...

[devil_monkey471]

Ah yes! Thanks! it was a model texture, never even thought to check that out...

my heart is still with ferrets

<3 my ferret

[KILLA-COW]

CMon people more screens!

[Deckaux]

I won't post screenshots before december. Sorry.

[BaRRaKID]

I know many people wont even post screenshots, secret is the soul of business(portuguese cliché), and when money is involved many prefer to not show so that no1 rips them of.
I hope i'm not wrong or this battle will be a total failure i hope to have around 15 submitions at least.

[Deckaux]

wait until the last hour from the deadline, about 20+ will just appear from nowhere

From here, for example.

So I'd suggest to please everybody who's participating to post his name / nickname and the name of his project so the admins have a rough overview how many submissions they can expect.

When do we get to start a regular mapping battle?

[BaRRaKID]

i dont know if it is a good idea to start a regular battle with this one goign on. Also not many people seem to be interested on them anyway. If it depends on em jsut special battles from now on
