FAQ by Deathknight

Q: Can we use coloured text?
A: No, it has been removed due to absolute spam taking place in this topic.

Q: Can I use Xtra-Editor just to do... -- ?
A: If it can't be done in the regular Starcraft Campaign Editor, your map is disqualified.

Q: We can protect our maps after, right?
A: No. Protecting your map proves you have used a 3rd Party Program to complete it, therefore disqualifies your entry.

Q: How do I enter/[Sign up for] the contest?
A: By submitting a completed map to Syphon via Private Message located in the User Control Panel.

Q: Is there an entry fee?
A: There was an entry fee, but it has been revoked. There is no longer an entry fee.

What do u mean just normal staredit? Does that mean we can use Scmdradt, X-tra, starforge, but no modding, or just Blizzard's staredit only?

I was going to throw this tournament. Ah well good luck to you then...

I think the "Must be a rather original idea." is a dumb rule. There are basically no maps to make...

Rather original. it could still be a mass or defence, you just have to throw in some personal flair.

Maybe I'll move it up if I get enough complaints about time restraint.

I'm gonna leave 3 judges plus myself, when someone better asks the worst on the list gets knocked.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Merrell on 2005-10-07 at 22:21:37
No offence.. but I think you need better judges.. ones that know their map making and their ways around staredit... and more trustworthy ones...

This tournament might get hard when coming to terrain!

I'm going to have to agree with MrrLL, it wouldn't hurt to have more knowledgeable judges. Or maybe I should say judges which the community recognizes as knowledgeable.

The entry fee is 50, not 100.

How are you going to make sure that people used only normal staredit anyhow. There are little tricks that are useful, but low-profile that can only done with other editors.

Like your not going to check every single trigger to make positively sure that there are no EUD conditions using Uberation (unless you have no life).

Mainly on honour, but if I suspect something then yes, I will go through the triggers.
