The Big Tournament 2013

Ladies and gentlemen!

Today, we come to you with something special. Something huge that XJ has never seen before.


The Big Tournament 2013 is a huge concept for a brand new contest as this. The idea is to make a competition among all the different aspects that kreedz basically stands for. That's right, Mappers, Recorders and Moviemakers, unite! All of you have a chance to take part in the project, there is no restrictions.

Briefly, it's a kind of a team contest, but you don't really have to work in pairs, communicate between yourselves or such. It's something you have done alone, and which is used as an extension for the other parts of the tournament, as it goes along. It begins with the Mapping part which flows into the Recording part where jumpers have to record best possible trickjumps or runs for the given maps from the Stage one. It ends to the Moviemaking part where the participating Moviemakers are going to edit the demos from the previous part.

And it begins right now with the Mapping part. You don't have to make any register steps in order to take a part, just submit your work before the deadline comes.

Stage 1: Mapping

Start: 9th February 2013
Deadline: 11th March 2013

Rules:
The texture pack got updated with the missing textures, please, download it again. We apologies for the inconvenience.
- You are only allowed to use textures from this pack.
- Map's difficulty should not go beyond easy-average level.
- You cannot use an already started project for this tournament, you have to start a new one.
- Make sure to submit a final version of your map. Once you have submitted your map, you can't do it again.
- One person can submit one map (done by himself only).
- Map's name cannot contain your own nick/name or names of other players/communities or whatsoever.

Map Submission Rules:
- Compress your map and possible related files (bsp, sounds, models etc.) to a .rar archive
- The archive must be named as follows: tbt_mapname_yournickname.rar
- Submit your map via special form on this page

Awards:
1st place - getting your map accepted with the KZ tag, a Hammer Icon and 1 month of VIP Gold

2nd place - getting your map accepted either with the KZ or Custom tag on jury's discretion, 1 month of VIP Silver and a Hammer Icon if the map gets accepted

What for a guy choose this "shittextures????"

9 Feb 2013, 03:23

cant wait to see those maps

9 Feb 2013, 05:09

So, no custom textures allowed then?! What about models, sprites and stuff?

9 Feb 2013, 05:09

[blockquote]What for a guy choose this "shittextures????"[/blockquote] no egypt textures, challenge accepted :DDD

9 Feb 2013, 05:27

GL guys :) Waiting for Mvm ;o

9 Feb 2013, 05:30

Is it okay to use textures with stuff like "mapped by XXX"?

9 Feb 2013, 07:46

Seen the texpack and im out, not my theme :) GL to all participants!

9 Feb 2013, 08:22

gl to all mappers!

gl all :)) Angelo: - Map's name cannot contain your own nick/name or names of other players/communities or whatsoever.

ah sorry :D I think its texture either :)

9 Feb 2013, 08:33

Only custom textures which has credits or mad by XXX are allowed. All types of models, sounds etc. are allowed too.

9 Feb 2013, 08:48

what's about sounds?

9 Feb 2013, 08:54

Awesome! Btw, if the mapper provides a good quality map, is there a possibility to get a kz_tag?

9 Feb 2013, 09:23

I guess you can cheat at mapping if you make a secret uber shortcut and then win the recording part by using it ; )

9 Feb 2013, 09:34

no texture glass ?

9 Feb 2013, 09:47

Awesomeee P.S. Nice banner O_O

9 Feb 2013, 10:40

That KZ_ is much more than vip gold ;) gl mappers!

9 Feb 2013, 10:47

Nice idea, good luck mappers!

9 Feb 2013, 11:12

sry, didnt see ur post, psyxo

9 Feb 2013, 11:18

Good luck all :)

9 Feb 2013, 11:23

there are not [b]black[/b] and [b]+button[/b] textures:(

9 Feb 2013, 11:31

wooohoo, i'll stop at stage one :D

9 Feb 2013, 11:59

When ive seen this banner my first thought was that its TonTo :D Nice news, good lak mappers!

9 Feb 2013, 14:46

black and skip texture is missing..

9 Feb 2013, 15:02

Amazing idea and good job XJ for thinking new ways to keep the community alive. However, I am very disappointed with the textures. Mostly because of the theme (city / building). It would've been nice to have at least few more themes to choose from. For example brick / mountain / sci-fi. Anyways, good luck for everyone who participated and may the best one win :-)

9 Feb 2013, 15:39

This is really something new in field and it seems to be very successful project. There are some of mapper who already started their projects.

9 Feb 2013, 16:06

I'm in GL

9 Feb 2013, 16:39

gl to all GO SMK13337

9 Feb 2013, 16:56

haven't texture "aaatrigger" ...

9 Feb 2013, 20:25

Great initiative guys!

9 Feb 2013, 21:36

loving the initiative XJ (as juleeeh pointed out) hopefully we will see some good things come out of this tournament! gl mappers, make some fun maps for us to play.

10 Feb 2013, 02:34

for those not finding basic textures like "aaatrigger" or other ones that are of use in this xjtexture.wad, just use them from your wad or the halflife wad. I don't think it's against the rules of this tournament if you do so.

10 Feb 2013, 03:35

gl mappers, see you all in "moviemaking part" biatch

10 Feb 2013, 15:46

why would you ever need aaatrigger texture? btw if this could be extended like 2 weeks or so I can take part otherwise bit tough, think about it admins most maps need 1 month of testing let alone making them in the first place

10 Feb 2013, 17:22

gj all participants ;)

10 Feb 2013, 17:23

*gl //sry for dp

10 Feb 2013, 21:34

I had an idea :D BTW: Guys, if you´re missing black texture, just scale the num in 50/50, then you have black. ;-)

10 Feb 2013, 21:35

@ JustErroR^: You can use for aaatrigger the NULL-Texture.

11 Feb 2013, 04:17

aaatriger is texture to get view, that is trigger. u can use random textures for it.

11 Feb 2013, 15:02

Hey guys, sorry for the delay, but I wasn't at home and without Internet. Anyway I have updated the wad file with all the zhlt texture, including all timer textures and a glass texture. You can download it from here http://files.xtreme-jumps.eu/maps/new/tournament/xjt_textures.rar or from the link in the news post. Due to my mistake and the delay we have decided to extend the deadline until 11th Mach 2013.

gl mappers ;)

16 Feb 2013, 14:06

those textures.... and the restriction to this pack only is a shame for mappers who use brushwork for plants and trees because those model trees are just plain ugly in goldsrc

20 Feb 2013, 14:52

And when starts the moviemaking tournament?

21 Feb 2013, 03:38

I have a question ... What if two people work on one map is that allowed?

21 Feb 2013, 15:25

branndonn obviously only 1 person gets the prize.

5 Mar 2013, 19:12

Gl guys :)...

6 Mar 2013, 07:37

I really think this is a great idea. Best of luck to mappers although I seefrom the comments that there is a lot of "stuff" (can't say exactly cause I dont map ;D) missing, this means it will be really challenging ;) cya all in the moviemaking part :)))

14 Mar 2013, 10:07

I can't wait movemaking part
