Title: Have A Mapping Contest
Post by: kyp14 on March 01, 2003, 04:26:31 am
hey i\'m new  
anyway i\'m a quake 3 mapper and duh i enjoy
mapping i was thinking wouldn\'t it be cool
if PS had a mapping contest were people
got to design a city or  town or somthing
and the winner gets his town or city or
whatever in the game i\'m not sure if this is
possilbe but the advantages would be

1. You can make somone very proud and happy

2.You\'ll get the community even more involved in the
project then they already are

3.you will get some work taken of your hands

\'Jesus freak and proud of it\'

Didn\'t someone have the exact same sig?

Anyway, I\'m sure if you can produce professional maps with interesting ideas, the devs would be more than happy to take on board your ideas. A bit difficult at the moment though for a general competition as many setting aspects are still unclear to us, but why not send some concepts in or post them here, it can\'t do any harm ;)

Yeah I saw that sig somewhere on these boards before.
Anyway like Kada said go ahead and submit your work. It cant hurt.

I guess it might work once the game is further along to have a mapping contest, but what if only bad ones were submitted? ;)

Oh, I knows! It\'s that Nazi guy. He also had that in his sig.
And then I told him to change his nick for this forum.

Maybe he did.

NO, you are wrong, this forum is for unoriginal ideas (ex. PK in arenas) all others are strictly forbidden...

I am that Nazi guy got the nickname in class
some one in my class decided to give me stupid
extremist nicknames like Nazi etc so thats what
i called myself    

although now they give me even more stupid nicknames
that contridict themselves like  Jewish Nazi, Black member of the cu clucks clan or whatever they call themselves and last but not least Christian member of
an Islamic Extremists partys.

as for the sig i don\'t know if somone else had the same
one but being a Jesus freak is a common thing among my freinds seeing where all christians.

As for the Mapping contest i think it would be cool to
do it at a later date give me time to get used to the
CS 3D editor (that is if there is one)


I also came up with other cool idea and am to lazy to make another thread. Has anyone seen the Panzoor Dragoon trailer with the dragons that are being used  like ww2 bombers I thought it would be cool if there was a dragon air force in planeshift just imagine on a huge battle field with 2 partys fighting each other one is losing but then on the horizon you see this squadrron of Dragons fly over and bomb the other party pretty much smashing it. it would be cool

I made a thread recently about having animals do jobs and blah, with fmiddy really bringing some deep ideas about shooting down carrier-pigeons...Anyway, a dragon air force would maybe turn the tide of a guild war or something but ould also become overused so there would be no proper fighting.  For example:

\"Sir, we\'re falling back!\"
\"Summon the dragons!\"
*Roar from yonder hills*
*Other guild frontline*
\"Oh no!  They\'re sending dragons to shoot us!\"
\"Summon the dragons!\"
*Roar from yonder hills*
*Aforementioned guild frontline*
\"Cripes!  The dragons are fighting each other!\"
\"Well let\'s run away then\"
*Guild runs away*
*Other guild frontline*
\"Cripes!  The dragons are fighting each other!\"
\"Well let\'s run away then\"
*Other guild runs away*
*Dragons start talking to each other*
\"Pardon me, why are us dragons fighting here without our masters?\"
\"Dunno\"
\"Well let\'s go then\"
\"Okay, maybe another time then\"
\"Bye\"

Maybe that\'s a bit over the top but it makes sense doesn\'t it?  Dragons fighting dragons would ruin wars  bit.  Make more of a Blitzkrieg than a D-Day.
