Welcome. This thread is for contest discussions only or if you have any concerns about the competition. So, I've always enjoyed the template contests and i decided to run my own. Just follow on with the thread. But what is a template contest? A template contest is a contest using a map that has already been started. The objective is to finish the map to the best of your ability. You will be judged on: Gameplay Aesthetics Originality And how well you utilize the template The contest will be held in the crypt and you have until the 6th of July to complete and submit a map to the contest. The template has been made with a OLN Canvas To submit a map i will create another submission thread within a week. As of now the prize might be a mention in the next site update, but this depends on the quality of the maps that are submitted. So get to work guys! I am still going to find something else for the winner though. To test i will be running a test session over two weeks. All maps will be played. This test session will narrow down the entries to three maps. These maps will then be voted on for a winner. Rules: You may NOT delete any objects already placed. (Except those of the canvas that has been used) You may edit the spawn time and clips for the shotgun, carbine, power drainer and the warthog. You may delete the red light. You may budget glitch the map. The map MUST be in the crypt. (Meaning no multi-level maps) You may NOT move any objects. (Except those of the canvas that has been used.) Must be compatible with one gametype other than slayer. You may clean up some of the interlocks if you wish to do so. (You may not touch the geo-merges though) Show us the template baby! The template has a large amount of geo-merging and every object is interlocked. I wished to bring BTB to the crypt, this is the reasoning behind the warthog. I have also made arches in the map. Maybe setting up an aesthetic theme. *wink*There is not set bases laid out or anything. Red or blue bases are not shown so it is up to you. You may not even use the template objects as bases. It is also a-symmetrical, but could be made symmetrical. Overview Arch, spider structure. This also holds the shotgun and warthog. Another view of the spider structure. Another structure. This holds the carbine behind it. The middle/man cannon structure. This holds the power drainer. The man cannon. Objects used: 8 Double boxes 2 Large blocks 1 stone platform 3 weapon holders 2 tube pieces 1 block tall 1 wall 1 double wall 1 carbine 1 warthog 1 shotgun 1 power drainer 1 red light 1 man cannon Download the template here! I hope you participate and good luck! Also check this Halo 3 site called Halo3Gophers HERE.
Unfortunately as of now this is no prize, but i am trying my hardest to find something for the winner. Edit: I have updated the original post to include a few slight details.
Ah I've been wanting a template contest on Sandbox for a while (I don't like Tak's). The template looks pretty good but a bit sloppy in places. Are we allowed to clean it up at all? I like it though. I'll see what I can do with it.
Yeah i was thinking that too. I was in a bit of a rush to get the template out. Just a few of the interlocks arnt perfect really. I''l allow you to clean it up but you must state in you submission that you cleaned it up and what parts you cleaned up. Just really, no major changes, just clean ups pretty much. Hope you enjoy participating. Edit: Only clean up the interlox, no Geo-merge touching.
