Staredit Network -> Terrain -> Terrain Challenge One

Report, edit, etc...Posted by High on 2005-02-18 at 18:30:19

Im stealing an idea they do over at Wc3 Campaigns, Organiser choose a subject - e.g castle. Then people apply to enter the challenge. You have a time limit ( say a week) and then the public votes on the winner.

To get this started, im willing to start one and donate 250 minerals to the prize pool, 150 to winner, 75 to 2nd, 25 to 3rd.

Seeing the ammount of emphusiasm there is for Terrain this may help create some nice looking terrain.

Terrain Challenge One: "The Lost Temple"
An esay one to start off, you have to create a ruined temple, jungle terrain is recommened but if you can pull something off with another terrain type it might give you an edge.

Time Limit: 1 Week (25th of Febuary)

Prizes:
1st: 150 Minerals
2nd: 75 Minerals
3rd: 25 Minerals

Submissions:
None yet, get Terraining![/center]

I dont really think that I want to waste my time making terrain that is just going to be forgotten in about a week...And just for 150 minerals. Say about 300 for first place 150 for second place, And 50 for third place. Then I will submit.

Puni, he's doing this for fun. He doesn't have to offer anything, it's just to get you motivated.

I'll get started on something of this sort when I get home.

Puni, 150 minerals would take a lot of posts, so take it where you can get it and have fun. Besides, what else would you do to be 'remembered'?

Can I add terrains to the Hall of Fame once they are psoted or should I wait till the end of the round?

If he doesn't give you minerals I'll make sure that he does.

LOL, hey, wait a minute, do you guys have the power to "edit" our minerals like substract or add?

I'm definitely entering to practice my terraining. Oh, It would be cool if you mineral rich members could donate some minerals to the winners pot.

How do we enter? Do we just post an image here or do we pm it to you?

ADDITION: Is there a sprite limit? Will it have points deducted for too many sprites?
Will submissions with few sprites get more points?

I would, but what's the point of winning my own minerals back

? If this idea takes of, in a couple weeks I might do a major one with a 1,000 mineral prize.

Well I guess Im the first....

Its nothing much, Lets see yours...

I have also included the map...

Don't get me wrong here, they look good but they are mega super ultra giga sprite intensive. I don't know about you but I only use sprites when I have to cover up unfixable mistakes, if those sprites are covering mistakes then you need to put more work on those by finding better tiles. I'm probably submitting mine later today.

ADDITION: Further inspection of Incinerate's terrain shows blockyness even after placing A LOT of sprites.

Another question: Can you submit more than one like he did?Or do you submit a map like he did?

Please answer my questions High

The 1st person who submited terrain here's a hint, use less sprites and more details. Beneath all those sprites is nothing but blocky terrain or really ugly terrain....stop using so many damn sprites and get back to the real terrain

ugggg.... I bet the only reason why he put so many sprites in is becuase he wanted the terrain to LOOK like a lost temple which the jungle has grown over. yes he did probably cover up misstakes and bad terrain, but seriourly we should only bash him on the sprites that are coviering up mistakes and not the ones giving the map flavor! I will be submitting one in soon too.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Sipher on 2005-02-21 at 22:27:40

Ugg..Why do people hate sprites so much. (Durr dumb question) Yeah he did use a lot of sprites probably for covering up, but again, what S.t.a.r.s-Chris said, it is suposed to be a lost temple and ussualy lost temples are covered in plants and vines and such, gives it the good ol' "Im really old, look at me" Effect.

Judge normally for asthetics and stuff, but mark off for sprite count.

Personally, I think this is the wrong community to host contests. People lack the general enthusiasm.

My sprites are like none... I have some at enterance but only like 10... No sprites ANYwhere else

Ok I am almost done with my map, and I would have finished it today and posted it, but I have to go down to California on a business trip for lacrosse. I was unaware that I had to go on this trip so I was wondering if I can still turn in the map after the due date because Im not sure I will be back in time to turn in my map before the due date is up! PLEASE let me submit it becuase I have been working very hard at it!
