Good luck mappers. :D

20/06/2014 19:18:00

Damn, I can't believe I'm opening VHE again just for this contest ... :) I'm in ! PS : add one more week to the deadline if you can, please:)

20/06/2014 19:20:00

oh, and one more thing : Just 1 month of VIP ? ... takes 1 month to make a proper #1 map, but only 1 month VIP? Still, my solution

20/06/2014 19:26:00

Editing world is completely dead, there is no KZ editors anymore, do something about that question ;)

20/06/2014 19:32:00

you refused to edit my demos :(

20/06/2014 19:54:00

U want it fast and I cant work like that, and I am not talking only about myself when we argue about "EDITING WORLD"

22/06/2014 13:46:00

ye, and u nub also don't edit kz anymore, there you go, you've put your hand to kz edit extinction as well. gj lol

20/06/2014 19:54:00

please guys , do extreme maps ! what xj needs now is some new extreme maps ...

20/06/2014 20:21:00

i'm in!

20/06/2014 20:39:00

NO uber xtreme maps plox, just very hard is ok imo :) good luck mappers.

20/06/2014 20:53:00

i dont get why it has to be named contest_kz_mapname, that will just stray people from playing it like a regular kz map imo :( also contest sounds way less impressive that prochallenge! I think you should make it more attractive!

21/06/2014 07:57:00

contests is just for us, so we can distinct the maps

20/06/2014 21:15:00

I'm in

20/06/2014 21:40:00

I'll give it a try to... Hope it will motivate me to stay more than 10 min in hammer :) the contest_kz_mapname is just so that they will know is the map for the contest no? I mean the final name would be kz_mapname?

20/06/2014 21:46:00

thats right

20/06/2014 21:53:00

in

20/06/2014 21:57:00

I'm in too ..

20/06/2014 22:04:00

You should make it a new PROCHALLENGE contest like Daza said. It's way more attractive tbh. Good intention nevertheless.

20/06/2014 22:32:00

Meh.

20/06/2014 23:20:00

Im thinking about it, dont worry. The purpose of this contest is to "wake up" mappers. If this contest turns out to be successful, we can move forward to the more complex stuff.

20/06/2014 22:27:00

im in too

20/06/2014 23:43:00

I just love seeing such initiatives! Keep it up, XJ, this is the right way to go ;)

20/06/2014 23:50:00

yes please count me in

21/06/2014 00:10:00

goodd

21/06/2014 00:47:00

I am IN! And I am going to WIN!

21/06/2014 09:23:00

I am in. Haven't mapped for a long time though... ^^

21/06/2014 10:25:00

I am in, its time to renew my rusty skills.

21/06/2014 13:47:00

good luck then

21/06/2014 14:08:00

add me too. i may have some free time to make a map for this contest.

21/06/2014 14:16:00

so many mappers signed up :) let's see how many will also deliver...

21/06/2014 15:10:00

We can add one or two more weeks to the deadline if you guys want.

21/06/2014 17:44:00

Well, it's better to decide 1-2 weeks before the deadline of the mapping contest, but this is my opinion. I mean, no one can decide how much time needs to finished his self map.

21/06/2014 15:43:00

Pieshels how are you my broootheer? Hf!

22/06/2014 15:54:00

Ohi Cyc ^^ I'll try, but not going to make any promises.

21/06/2014 17:03:00

Good luck all mappers! :D

22/06/2014 23:21:00

put me in

23/06/2014 02:35:00

I'll bite too! Deal me in!

23/06/2014 03:38:00

It's nice to see this many good mappers participating! =) 8th of August seems so distant right now.. :P Go nuts mappers! Nice initiative XJ staff!

23/06/2014 07:30:00

I want to compete aswell, but I do not have the time unfortunately. Good Luck to all you guys!

23/06/2014 11:27:00

If this turns out to be a successful contests, we can go with pro-challenge or make another contest divided in teams. What you say, guys?

23/06/2014 16:40:00

[b]Thanks for the sign-ups guys ![/b] We believe many ( hopefully all of you ) will fulfill what you you signed for :p

24/06/2014 00:42:00

this contest will be interesting :D cant wait to see what everyone comes up with in their maps

25/06/2014 15:47:00

Jumps...jumps everywhere!

24/06/2014 14:07:00

Hey Psyx,what about a new section in Mapping section on forum->something like "Mapping Contests" or something like that name where we can discuss about this contest or the next one after this? BTW you guys can make a 4 competition/year with a special big one.Like 1 mapping contest/3 months[summer,spring,winter,autmn] And to be greater the pro-challange can be the big one where will be in the same time with on of these 4 but the mappers can participate at both so the "biiger" mappers will make something for pro-challenge and the new mappers what will arive to us will make for the other one :) it will be like a gate opening for new mappers:)

24/06/2014 14:09:00

cant participate at both* meh forgot the " 't " :D they can choose the pro-challange[or how you want to name the big one] or the normal contest :)

25/06/2014 20:10:00

Would of been cool to see Angie or Demo in this list. Actually I think Angie logged into steam for the first time in ages a couple days ago. Anyway, good luck to all the mappers taking part.

26/06/2014 13:07:00

Angie is on steam every now and then actually, but I haven't seen her in any game for ages. I was thinking about her and mapping a few days ago when this contest started...and thought it would be fun if she joined.

27/06/2014 15:56:00

sorry Contest_b2dkz_bleckplan1fxed_B2DISajocckp right?? and how to nick the bsp name?? thx

19/07/2014 05:00:00

Yes it is , but next time also contact an admin or map admin.

30/06/2014 15:17:00

ID: B2DlSajocckp put me plz , thxxxxxx

01/07/2014 14:32:00

Fuuuuuuckkkkkk it's in my head but i don't know how to start it in vhe!!! :D

01/07/2014 15:13:00

It's easy. Just make one huge block to start with. Then you start clipping away everything that doesn't look like it belongs in your map. And suddenly you are done. =E

01/07/2014 15:19:00

Im in too! Haha SadPuppy :D is easy to say make a block cut around and at some point is done :P fuu is hard work this "mapping" thing :D From that list of mappers,yours and Pieshels's map want to see the most :D hope every1 will make something till august :D

03/07/2014 07:30:00

Working against deadlines is always tricky. I hope everyone have the time to finish their maps.

12/07/2014 00:16:00

I might try something too if ill have time, but no promises :D

04/08/2014 19:07:00
