"Counterattack" Mapping Contest for RO2
- Thread starter [TW]Wilsonam
- Start date
woooooow )': that was the dawn of fps games for me. so nostalgicWow, i want remake of this one, it was perfect for relaxing..
Are we allowed to enter both Phase 1 and Phase 2? Also if we win a prize in Phase 1 does it exclude us from entering and winning prizes in Phase 2?
Also are there any rules against posting playable WIP and getting feedback before contest deadlines?

And your point is????? Regardless of map layouts; People enjoy all THREE modes.... why make Firefight optional? That leaves many players who enjoy FF out in the cold. It doesn't make sense.
Maybe they feel if they force a FF mode on the map makers, less would bother opening up the SDK. Honestly, I feel the same way. I have been toying with the idea, but have no interest in making a FF version.
Its already harder and takes longer to properly make a map in ROHOS compared to ROOST. So more requirements probably means less entries and less maps for the rest of us.

I'm somewhat surprised that the elitist creep is happening again... We have a great game that's struggling for users/clients/players and we are still witness to the "I don't like it so I won't be bothered" syndrome.
Excuse me but if enough ppl are offended by these poor attitudes, you will soon watch the game wither on the vine of hoped for prosperity. The game mode is there for a reason... like it or not, people enjoy playing FF and hopefully, they'll try the other modes and play them too.
So that means we can expect marginal maps because its a more involved and powerful SDK? That makes even less sense to me. High Quality Custom Maps has always been a hallmark of the RO/DH Genre. Why, in heaven's name, must we now settle for anemic custom maps because the editor is "too hard" for some?
I see it this way; Provide fully fleshed out custom maps that are robust in play, entertainment and replay factors and you'll have the ever elusive player retention element of longer game life and continued sales.
Provide selfishly selective, trimmed down, missing features and weapons maps and you'll soon see ho-hum maps that get played one or twice and then set aside.
Server Admins the world over want custom maps that create player participation and excitement. Not player complaints, disconnects and empty servers.

How is that elitist Mike? These will be custom maps not made by TWI. Maybe every single person making a map will want to make it for all modes including FF, or maybe none will want FF mode at all. Are you trying to say a map will be only of marginal quality because it doesn't have FF mode?
As far as the SDK, I think it is common knowledge that more effort and considerable more time is needed to create a map. Heck, I think you might even need at least 8GB or 12GB to properly burn the lighting in the map if my memory serves me correctly. That alone may eliminate some from making a map.
If it were TWI making the maps, then they can be held up to whatever standards you like because you paid for them. TWI already gave their requirements, FF is not a part of them. Heck, not even all ROHOS maps have FF mode. Why require it if TWI doesn't on their own maps? Simple as that.

Moe, RE: Elitist, that's how I see it.... no arguments. Take it for what its worth. As for the rest of my comments - YES. Weapons are already missing from customs now. Games modes are obvious by their absence and players are noting such with unpleasant remarks. I mean, its not like we have 10,000 users and more coming on board every day... ya know what I mean Vern? 
We NEED to attract and retain new users!

Aha it was Spraduke from out clan that made this remake!
Don't think he has gotten round to messing much with the RO 2 editor. Don't think he gets the time.
I think that should be modified a little bit. It basically says we cannot use "free for commercial use" or public domain assets. Besides textures(including propaganda posters, paintings, rugs and all that jazz), there's a lot of free stuff out there that can be used to spice up the map, like inappropriate music(think of Hitman Blood Money's ending or this: Mount & Blade Warband : Napoleonic Wars **ELITE PIANO GAMEPLAY** - YouTube).
