Map Battle 3: The Pyramid

Postby BaRRaKID on Wed Jul 13, 2005 12:03 am

Here is the third mapping batle. This time we have a pyramid for you guys, hope you like it.

We are going to try something different also, since you don't seem to prefer our templates, we are just going to provide some reference pictures and let you do the rest. So here they are:

Also so that no one complains later, here are the rules for this battle:

- Your map must have a pyramid in it, and the pyramid as to be the main piece of the map

- You can only post 3 screenshots, and you can only submit one map.

- When posting your screenshots, always explain if they are final or still wip

- Additional mods like bloom mod and garrys's mod CAN'T be used, only hl2, hl2dm and CS:S are allowed

- You cant use any extra software(like photoshop for example) to make your screenhosts look better. Of course usual changes like resizing, croping, or adding your name on the screenies are allowed

- You can use whatever custom content you want

- The maps are judged according to their quality, so make them look the best you can

- The maps dont need to be playable

- Avoid posting your pictures with big resolutions, since I'll have to resize them later, and they will loose some quality

Now some tips, Pyramids are not always set in a desert theme, you can see pyramids in really different environments, for example in Paris, Las Vegas, and in the middle of some jungles. Desert themes are usually boring unless done well, so try to make it original.

The battle ends at the 27th of july, midnight GMT, so all that it's left to say is:

Gentleman Start Your Hammers.

Good luck everyone :)

I personally liked the templates, but if this is turning back into "in style of" that's fine.

yeah.. might be a common mistake :)

i think the voting on this battle will be more based on the pyramid itself than on the map enviorment and props.. this will require a lot of pacience.


well as said before good luck for all and may the best nerd win! :-D


PS: TROLL ÈS TU PAH!
PS2: just some friendly portuguese insults :D

Ooh! I really want to try this, but my graphics card sucks :cry: . Would anyone be nice enough to take final screenshots of my map because of my poor graphics? Like if I set up three point_viewcontrols that are automatically triggered, etc...

I'll do the final images for you if you want Ferret.
Just send me pics that you took of the map and I'll try to get in the same spot.
