Hey all, just reminding you that the mapping contest is up and prizes are plenty!

http://www.steamgamers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=38518

We have separate contests for minigames, gmod roleplay, and zombie escape. The top prize is $100 for just creating a map! (ZE top prize)

It doesn't matter what skill level at mapping you are, so you can try your best alone or in a group! Read the thread for all official rules.


And if you don't know how to map, here are some good tutorials!

SDK Level Design! (http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Category:Level_Design)
I'd suggest clicking on the "Making your first map in Hammer" in bold, if you're a newbie.

CS:S Mapping Tips (http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/How_To_Develop_A_Map_That_Works)
Some mapping tips for CS:S so you can make good maps :)

Note: You can make maps with the CS:S engine/game configuration for GMOD aswell, so don't worry about making a Garry's Mod SDK mode!

Some misc. tutorials (advanced stuff perhaps? ;o) (http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Category:Level_Design_Tutorials)


Thanks guys, and support the motherfucking community!

~Prez Shadow


PS: Events will be made in the Steam Community Group about this just to remind you all!

PPS: If you guys have any friends or anyone that maps, tell them to take a look at the competition! We'd want as many submissions AS POSSIBLE! Thanks!

Whazaaaaa

If you guys have a question on how to do something that is pertinent to your map feel free to ask and someone will be more than happy to explain in detail how it's done :)

If you do have questions though please keep them approx in your skill range. Don't be asking how to do intricate I/O's with calculating stuff and specific cases, if you don't even know what an entity is yet heh.

For me to map, I need inspiration. Every time I look at an awesome map it inspires me.
Then when I turn on Source SDK, I need to avoid problems, or Ill just rage.

Awesome. But please, just do me this, familiar textures and props only. I hate the ERROR signs with a burning passion!

im'a mapping stuff every here and there.. hopefully i'll have something to show in this, i still see myself as a n00b mapper tho but my work will show for that.. hmm one thing i have to ask tho; can we do remakes of back alley (renamed of course) and things like that? or does every map handed in have to me a hole new idea.. sry if i failed reading the rule or was to lazy to read everything :yawn:

Well you'd score low on the originality portion if you made a remake of a map, but it's your choice.

EDIT:

Re-done it, rooms are MUCH bigger now, but only 24 rooms :L
