Hello Xonoitc mappers and everyone else,
there have been lot of talking about a mapping competition since the project started. Since no one has taken the initiative, i thought it's about time get things rolling. So what's the goal of the contest?
Simple, to reach as many Xonotic player as possible. Mirio and I talked about plans after the 1on1 tourney, which is currently ongoing. We thought about several things and came to the conclusion, we need something which haven't been there before. A 2on2 Nexball tourney.
At the moment, we have only two suitable maps, nexballarena and marsball. But for a tourney more maps are needed, that's where the mapper come into play.
The goal we be to create the missing maps. As it's a contest there will be
a jury, which judges the maps. The prize for the winner will be that his map, will be played exclusively in the final.
The other maps, will most likely end up as normal maps in the tourney.
The team of judges will consist of Antibody, MirceaKitsune and merlijn. They'll guarantee that the best map wins.
The rules are quiet simple:
- It has to be a nexball map
- Has to be optimized for a 2on2
- Maps with more then 1 ball are ok, but the limit is 50 balls per map. Otherwise the map won't be accepted.
The theme of the map is up to you. Be creative!
Deadline: 2nd January 2012 23:59 GMT +1

<bluez> halogene, you make awesome music, but you have no clue about ctf.
<Halogene> I didn't know mappers include some mysterious waypoints so members of the BOT clan can navigate a map?
<divVerent> if you don't pay for a premium account, your movement speed is limited to 100qu/s

-Some little mean hills in the field, to make the ball less predictable.
-Speed bonus somewhere in the forest.
-Arches in the doorways showed on the 3rd pic.
-Some birds or/and butterflies. I know that sounds weird, but it actually is possible. (I saw it on a Q3 map on the dms votable server.) You can just make a small model, with clapping wings and let it fly around (maybe atach some sounds too). That would really give a rainforrest feeling.
I think I mean something different. I mean the powerup speed, which works just like strength, shield, or invisibility. It seamed to be the only really usefull powerup for nexball.

when you keep the layout symmetric, the chance that it becomes unbalanced is very low.

you still have roughly 4 weeks left, which is enough time to make something playable

Yay compo! Good news, after Cortez666 and Morphed kindly helped me to set up my NetRadiant last night I have started a map too! In fact, it's a remake of an old classic that we used to play the heck out of in Nexuiz. I will try to make it more pleasing to the eyes, which unfortunately has never been my strong point
