Level Design RS Map Contest Checkpoint Alpha Submissions Open

[[TW]Ramm-Jaeger]

Submissions for the Rising Storm "Banzai" Custom Map Making Competition "Checkpoint Alpha" are now open. The deadline for Checkpoint Alpha was originally today by noon EST. Due to several of our key staff being on airplanes returning from PAX we've decided to move this deadline back a couple of days to Thursday, September 5th at 12 noon EST. So please get your maps submitted by then. Remember, this checkpoint is optional, but HIGHLY recommended. You essentially get a chance for the judges to give you feedback that could greatly increase your chances at winning in the final phase. The submission form can be found here:

http://www.heroesofstalingrad.com/rising-storm-community-map-making-competition-2013/

Please submit both cooked and uncooked versions of our maps, server and client files please.

Good luck everyone, we're super excited to see what you have created!!!

You should submit a playable version of your map, as if it isn't playable there is no way for us to evaluate its gameplay. Maps submitted for this checkpoint as supposed to be available to the public, per the contest rules.

If you are having issues either uploading or fixing bugs in your map you can also request help from Tripwire staff. StragoMagus may be able to help you with Steam workshop issues, and Swag may be able to help you with bugs. And if all else fails PM Yoshiro.

Regards,

John

Did someone else got the problem, that nothing happend execpt "please wait" if you click on submit?

I send one App-Message with the download link in the wrong field. and that worked perfect. but after putting it in the correct field, nothing happend when i click on submit.

I got a small message near the bottom of the page that said it went through. I also sent a follow-up e-mail to make sure they received it.

Guys,

If the submission page is giving you trouble please PM Yoshiro and get his e-mail address so you can send your submission over that way. I'll get someone on looking into what is up with the submission page.

Regards,

John

Guys,

The submission problem should be fixed now.

Would be great if you could try to submit your application again.
Don't worry about multiple entries, we will get rid of the extra ones.

 

[BOH-rekrut]

yeah it worked

 

[Yoshiro]

I have entries for:

Kobura
Otori-Shima
Phosphate Plant
Sub Base
Stalag
ZapadnovkaUno
Zhukovka

And as a reminder, those with updated maps from the first contest should consider submission for this one as well.

 

[Moskeeto]

Stalag
ZapadnovkaUno
Zhukovka

So the contest isn't limited to just RS maps?

 

[Nightingale]

That's really confusing. You'd think with a name like "Rising Storm Community Map Making Competition 2013" that it'd be a Pacific-only contest. That was the reason I switched from working on my Karelia map to a Philippines one. Not that I'm complaining; I've found working on the RS one to be a bit more fun, but this is really information that should be made clear in the contest information.

 

[®omano]

They did not clearly said it on the topic.. maybe to let people think about creating a RS map but on the official website it is clearly written that the map must be RO/RS

edit:

WHO CAN ENTER – The contest is open to individual map makers and teams of level designers and environmental artists of all ages who create original maps for the retail PC game Rising Storm/Red Orchestra 2

 

[Moskeeto]

Well that makes me hopeful to see new official maps for both RS and RO2. Though RS definitely needs them more.
