Leon 55 Report post Posted December 1, 2009 Leon's Mapping Contest Anyone is free to enter! Introduction: Over the years, and yes, I do mean years. I have noticed a many different mapping contests, and even participated. Rules have always been differing in each one, based upon the definition of 'Mapping'. Does it include the sounds, mood music, and events? Should events be interactive in such a competition, or is it merely a test of your skill with the tileset alone? Here, I will put forth a contest that will give my own perspective on the definition of 'Mapping'. Please, register in the next week, and then I'll release what the mapping contest's tileset will be. Further, the maps will be based upon open vote throughout the entire site. This allows even those planning the contest (myself included) to participate without there being prejudice. Hey, wouldn't be fun if I couldn't enter. :D Rules: Your map may be no larger than 45x45. Only one map per entry. Use only the tiles in the tileset provided. You can use different Tileset IDs, but only the tiles in the tilemap provided. Scripts and events are allowed. Please, nothing that breaks the fourth wall. (ie: an event that says 'RMXP Rox!') Please submit it to me in an unencrypted folder. You have my word and honor that I will not peek at it prior to uploading and posting. Custom resources are allowed, but no edits to ANY of the tileset tiles! Please, accent your map with Music, sound effects, and anything else. Amendments: Registration CLOSED Maps due 19th Posted 20th. Voting ends 27th Participants: Leon Kaylen Marked Agckuu_Coceg Tomo2000 ShinyToyGuns Kiriashi(?)

Kaylen 1 Report post Posted December 1, 2009 I'll enter. I'm a little cautious about what tileset we'll be using, but I'll just hope it's one I'm good at. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marked 197 Report post Posted December 2, 2009 How will the maps be judged? Since sounds, scripts and events are allowed, I'm guessing that judges will be required to play each submission? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leon 55 Report post Posted December 2, 2009 Correct, Marked. I will compile them all into one zipped file (if anyone wants their project encrypted before then, i can. I just want unencrypted to ensure compliance with rules). I will then host it on unlimited with full instructions on how to download, with at least 1 mirror.

Marked 197 Report post Posted December 2, 2009 I think I'll sign up, just for another contestant. This will be the 3rd or 4th time we're in the same mapping contest now. My rmxp has accumulated a bit of dust though, it will be good to open it back up again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShinyToyGuns 29 Report post Posted December 3, 2009 I'll also sign up, if not just for another contestant :) Although I may be quite noobish with RMXP, I have over two years of mapping experience in mapping for a couple of First Star Online servers, which has a similar graphics/mapping system to RMXP :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tomo2000 60 Report post Posted December 3, 2009 I've said for quite a while now that I want my mapping to be compared to Kiriashi's just to see how much I suck :) . Anyway, I'll join. Does the map have to be a specific tileset or any RTP Tileset? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShinyToyGuns 29 Report post Posted December 3, 2009 Use only the tiles in the tileset provided. You can use different Tileset IDs, but only the tiles in the tilemap provided. Hope that helps :P also, why am I not on the list of participants? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leon 55 Report post Posted December 3, 2009 Two more for the bout! This is shaping up to be quite a contest. -Enters Bob Costas- A great bout indeed, but will all the contenders turn out? I know it has been in the past more than half end up not making their map. ... Sorry. I love that guy. I was gonna say '-punches bob costas- but I can't do that...

Leon 55 Report post Posted December 3, 2009 Ehh... i dunno. I'd much rather prefer this way. I give you my solemn word i will not look at a speck of the information enclosed. just check to maek sure the size, and the tileset used tiles. Standardizing it this way is just much easier. and most likely smaller in size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kiriashi 117 Report post Posted December 4, 2009 I've said for quite a while now that I want my mapping to be compared to Kiriashi's just to see how much I suck :) . Anyway, I'll join. Does the map have to be a specific tileset or any RTP Tileset? Have you seen Leon's maps? Don't go assuming that I can just obliterate you all; Leon has got some pretty nice mapping prowess (look it up) up his sleeve. I might not even be able to match his skill, after all, I don't know what the tileset is. I love how you all just assume I'm going to be in the contest! :P I am going to be though, take a look: I'm entered in a contest without even replying to it. :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kiriashi 117 Report post Posted December 5, 2009 I'm pretty sure it is against the rules to post text from PERSONAL MESSAGES without permission. And for this, I'm reporting you to Marked! :lol: Oh he is soooo going to ban you. On a more serious note: Jesse, did I upset you somehow? I had a lot of personal issues going on during that contest, so I wasn't able to keep it together. Plus the contest was a little more than some people could handle. I can't wait to get started on this. When do we get to see the tileset, tomorrow? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can totally understand that, and I'm sorry I ended it that way. I couldn't say that any one person won because I didn't want to end the contest unfairly. I really am sorry Jess. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
