The Big Tournament 2013

By ShoCkrecord holder Tournament #2 VIP·
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

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

09/02/2013 03:23:00

cant wait to see those maps

09/02/2013 05:09:00

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

09/02/2013 05:09:00

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

09/02/2013 05:27:00

GL guys :) Waiting for Mvm ;o

09/02/2013 05:30:00

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

09/02/2013 07:46:00

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

09/02/2013 08:22:00

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 :)

09/02/2013 08:33:00

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

09/02/2013 08:48:00

what's about sounds?

09/02/2013 08:54:00

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

09/02/2013 09:23:00

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

09/02/2013 09:34:00

no texture glass ?

09/02/2013 09:47:00

Awesomeee P.S. Nice banner O_O

09/02/2013 10:40:00

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

09/02/2013 10:47:00

Nice idea, good luck mappers!

09/02/2013 11:12:00

sry, didnt see ur post, psyxo

09/02/2013 11:18:00

Good luck all :)

09/02/2013 11:23:00

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

09/02/2013 11:31:00

wooohoo, i'll stop at stage one :D

09/02/2013 11:59:00

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

09/02/2013 14:46:00

black and skip texture is missing..

09/02/2013 15:02:00

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 :-)

09/02/2013 15:39:00

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.

09/02/2013 16:06:00

I'm in GL

09/02/2013 16:39:00

gl to all GO SMK13337

09/02/2013 16:56:00

haven't texture "aaatrigger" ...

09/02/2013 20:25:00

Great initiative guys!

09/02/2013 21:36:00

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.

10/02/2013 02:34:00

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.

10/02/2013 03:35:00

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

10/02/2013 15:46:00

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

10/02/2013 17:22:00

gj all participants ;)

10/02/2013 17:23:00

*gl //sry for dp

10/02/2013 21:34:00

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

10/02/2013 21:35:00

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

11/02/2013 04:17:00

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

11/02/2013 15:02:00

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.

11/02/2013 17:20:00

11/02/2013 17:20:00

GReeeeeeeeeeat

13/02/2013 04:34:00

gl mappers ;)

16/02/2013 14:06:00

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

20/02/2013 14:52:00

And when starts the moviemaking tournament?

21/02/2013 03:38:00

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

21/02/2013 15:25:00

branndonn obviously only 1 person gets the prize.

05/03/2013 19:12:00

Gl guys :)...

06/03/2013 07:37:00

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 :)))

14/03/2013 10:07:00

I can't wait movemaking part

07/04/2013 18:42:00
