XJ Prochallenge map contest - Extended deadline

By Coppenst·







Hey everybody!

We would like to announce that this map contest is extended for another month.

Unfortunately we received very few submissions all of which were uploaded on the last day, but mainly mappers reported being unable to finish their maps in time. Due to this situation we would like to provide mappers more time in order to achieve best outcome for our community, so their maps are finished properly or even make a second map in another category. We hope for your understanding. All submitted maps can be worked on further and mappers are welcome to contact mapcheck team with any questions.


New deadline: 31 DEC 2015


Contest:

We talked about the 'Prochallenge Contest' in What's going on #4, and now we are ready to rumble these maps!

Ofcourse there will be a specific rule set for this:
- The contest will be over a period from 1 month, the deadline for entries are till the 30th of November 2015
- Since we want to make sure the qualities from the maps are good enough, only 2 entries are allowed by each mapper

The categories you can choose from to map are the following:
- Longjump
- Bhop
- Speed

Because of the PRO-Challenge nature, the maps should be at least average-hard leveled and should be at least 2 minutes long.

We have no theme restrictions in this, we just want to have the nicest maps in there!

Whenever your entry is ready, you simply submit it to the mapping submission under the name: prochallenge2_discipline_mapper (for example: prochallenge2_longjumps_Coppenst).
You all know the drill for uploading, if not, refer to the rules or contact one of the map admins for more information!

Last but not least, talking about the rewards:
- The winning maps will receive the custom prochallenge2_discipline tag and added on the XJ WR list
- 2 months of VIP gold for the winners
- Official mapper tag on Xtreme-Jumps (if you don't have it already)
- Each winner will receive $50 (if 1 mapper has both entries accepted, yes he will get $100)
- The winning maps will get a promotion video upon release for the prochallenge, produced by KZ-Pictures.

So if you are doing something else now, I suggest you STOP .... HAMMERTIME!

29/10/2015 21:31:00

Thank you admins for finally putting this back on !

29/10/2015 21:39:00

actually no one on the map team worked on this it was all Coppenst

29/10/2015 22:03:00

We are a team.

29/10/2015 21:44:00

Coppesnt still has a shot in the locker

29/10/2015 21:48:00

money was not necessary, you spoiled swines

29/10/2015 22:24:00

true, money were not needed in this case, but perhaps it will motivate some lazy asses to map something extremely nice

29/10/2015 21:45:00

nice! aren't speed maps ez and not hard by definition tho?

29/10/2015 21:54:00

actually something cool

29/10/2015 22:04:00

looking forward to see new great maps, once more for the old times! lovely memories from the original prochallenge event :-)

29/10/2015 23:55:00

@Kraeft look at kzno_xtremeblock for example...that map is considered a hard-extreme map..of course not by today standards but still..is a hard map ..most of the players can't even finish it with no cp...and yet the last 20 WR-s on this map are speedruns. Same goes to prochallenge_bhop...at the beggining it was considered hard-extreme but as you can see now it looks like goldbhop . The one who records make the map a speedruning map IMO :D Hopefully we will have some good extreme maps in the contest... and good luck to everyone that participate in this contest !

29/10/2015 23:57:00

Indeed, but it would also be nice to try and have a great playerbase joining on the prochallenge cup too!

30/10/2015 00:07:00

100$! Gotta get radon on this pronto!

30/10/2015 00:42:00

And those who are wondering, no, 100$ ain't like 75€ anymore. 100 U.S. dollars = 91.0278409 Euros Poor thing that I'm regulary buying a lot of stuff in dollars :| But good even in euros for the mappers!

01/12/2015 00:41:00

Isn't it closer to 95 euro nowadays?

30/10/2015 02:40:00

Nice!!

30/10/2015 05:29:00

Prochallenge Bhop!

30/10/2015 12:23:00

Finally, hope for some really nice maps! :)

30/10/2015 14:07:00

+1 Kraeft speed maps are definitely easy to jump, but hard to record perfect run with all combos etc.

30/10/2015 19:42:00

Good luck.

30/10/2015 21:15:00

Cool, GOOD LUCK mappers!

31/10/2015 14:17:00

Very nice! some requests though - dont make the maps too hard - all prochallenge maps from the past as we can recall are really nice playable, (the pro tagline is just to make look things nice) - maybe difficulty level of dahnajourney, xtremeblock, dementia (+tranquil) is perfect - have this thing in mind: it should be a speedmap to projumpers, but for new jumpers it should be like something where they can practice their skills to learn on an everyday basis. - and please please put some good lightening. dark less lighting is not hot! absolutely no! and no tranquility, prochallenge bhop is not like goldbhop hahah

31/10/2015 21:57:00

Prad prochallenge_bhop = bkz_goldbhop but not for me because i'm not a pro player..i play just for fun but look at the WR's and compare the 2 wr's and see who stands where :D. Both of the WR's are on the same type of maps ! for me prochallenge bhop will always look like goldbhop/cliffez because the WR holder just fly's through it. And in case you come with the arguement that prochallenge bhop is considered hard-xtreme.. look at kz_synergy_x / _x2 and see the difference between them and pro_bhop :D. I really REALLY hope for a map with a difficulty simillar to kz_radium ! I can agree with a thing..don't make maps with difficulty that rivels kza_lagster or something like that ... because only 1-2 players will done the map .

31/10/2015 19:23:00

23 comments and not one for signing up i love this :D just like cups

31/10/2015 20:56:00

31/10/2015 22:07:00

Yes, but shouldn't at least people say they signed up for this so we know who's in like the christmas map tournament

31/10/2015 20:44:00

01/11/2015 11:12:00

01/12/2015 05:23:00

everyone saw that coming, 1 month is a short time.

01/12/2015 13:09:00

06/12/2015 17:39:00

1 month should be enough for a short custommap.
