Nothing to worry about your english. I've studied English for 10 years and I'm still a newb

And to answer your questions:
1. Old-school, new school, it is important to create a nice map with good design and playability.
2. The team its still debating about where players should upload their maps after their done with it. Nothing to worry, we will find a special place for mappers and we will announce it. 17buddies is doing their best to satisfy everyone.

1. Well, if the wads & models only standard, so contest is old-school.
2. We can upload our maps here - http://www.map-factory.org/counter-strike, and then write links here.

I'm in ninth form now. And I study English 9 years. But I don't know it well Therefore I should apologize.

Well buddy, old-school can be described in several ways.... with default textures, with default designs, after the default maps in cs, etc. So, its interpretable. (So its not so old-school afterall)

We have our own texture to work with 17bSolstice.wad AND you can use this page for models: http://test.tiger.powa.fr/models/html/models.html

There is no need to upload on second party website, we got our own website (17buddies.net) to upload.

We have until 20 April to discuss rules.

For submissions, I think 17buddies would be a good place, isn't it ?

For the moment I'm thinking about a way to upload your maps anonymously in order for us not to be influenced by our respective affinities.

When judged, of course each map should be renamed with xx_17bsolstice_mappername (or something approaching)



Edit: Héhé..Zaza managed to place his link

Here is the new 17bsolstice.wad file with special textures included.

For your information, 17buddies offers you the possibility to see wads content by clicking on each "content" link


Download here the new 17bsolstice wad file.

(same link as first topic)

ZAZA: when I look at this map or this one, shouldn't your registered mapper's name be mr_ZAZA instead of ZAZA ?

Yes, but when I was registered, name ZAZA was already taken.

can the prize be taken in money? )
because i have nothing to advertise, but only my face. HAHA you really put my face on frontpage?
Okay i'll try
XaxaTyH

ZAZA=>doesn't matter. Tell me what is your real mapper's name and we will see what we can do to fix the problem.

XaxaTyH => I will put your face on frontpage with pleasure Welcome. (will add your name tomorrow. Not easy with mobile device )

Hi all, a question:

That troubles me a lot, I usually sign my map, with an image (wad) "Map by Max (von A) ... etc", that image is a wadinclude, that hidden somewhere in the map, however if not allow wadinclude, how I can sign my map?

Again I deeply thank you for remembering 17buddies mappers we like counter-strike 1.6, see here many acquaintances, as my friend Tatu Eugen and other mappers whose maps I played many times in my server. We played yesterday your map Tizu: awp_darkcrypt (not knowing that you are one of the participants) and your map awp_dreamsereves was on several occasions in our 3on3 tournament (like any other Tatu's maps).

All excellent mappers, I wish you good luck.

Im worried for not arriving in time, because I am very obsessive... and it takes me up to 4/6 months to finish a map (de_cesky_krumlov were 6 months! LOL ) but I play in this competition, to know this new experience.

(my english is of google translation, sorry )

Un abrazo amigos!!!

I was waiting for this question

On june, 20 th, your maps must be anonymous to be judged, but once judged, you will be able to add a wadinclude with your logo/banner/name and publish it with that signature.

Is that ok?

If not, we will be forced to allow wadinlude for mapper's signature and submissions won't be anonymous. It' s your choice

As you can see on all pages of our site, our donation box is desperately empty, or at least doesn't cover at all the costs of our server.

In addition, we don't have any sponsors (anyway, we didn't asked for..).

So you can easily understand that we can absolutely not convert prizes in money.

Perhaps I could pay with my body, but I'm not sure you will be interrested

You'll have to compete for fun and competitive spirit, but I know it's your mindset at all.

whats the alowed zip file size?
5 or 10 mega?

Hello. Register me. Name - Palp

Plictis => 5Mo

Palp => Ok

???

What's the problem Kira. ?

My adviser S3B () slips me in the ear that in any case it will be able to recognize your creations, even if you post them anonymously. (call him 'God' please ..)

Accordingly, I inform you that:

. first the submissions can be sent with your username,

. secondly, you're allowed to wadinclude a logo or a banner in order to sign your map (but you're not allowed to incorporate other textures not in relation to signature).

We will check that very carefully and wadincluding non authorized textures will be disqualifying

Name: Vova
I'll try

This contest will be great
and Welcome Vova

Give email Vova plz

Thank you Chapo , (and thank you S3B )

PS: S3B, You are not going to participate? (At least one presentation of a map "out of competition" )

No, sorry, i've really no time...

Can't register without a mail sent by PM

Hi. Please add in wad this is "crossing" texture
You should do textures by series. From for wrong texture pak - map will badly look. All mapper well know it and can support me in this question!!


EGYPT5_gr.bmp and ht_rock01_gr.bmp and ground_gr.bmp

Full series ground-to-wall


That who created your Texture pak - has experience more than 3 years in creation of maps and texturing?

For fine and correct mapping
SEE
VERY BAD

VERY NICE

VERY NICE + STONE

sorry, I forgot )

Ok. No problem

Sergio => I let tizu and S3b, our 2 mappers, answering to your post.

There is one more problem the texture crate23 from 17bsolstice.wad has the same name with the texture crate23 from halflife.wad please fix that. Thank you!

My technical advisors should get fired

We can use texture added by SergioPoverony ?

Let me know if I'm wrong but:

The 19 official wads for Counter-Strike v1.6 you can use are:

chateau.wad
cs_747.wad
cs_assault.WAD
cs_bdog.wad
cs_cbble.wad
cs_dust.wad
cs_havana.wad
cs_office.wad
cstrike.WAD
de_aztec.wad
de_piranesi.wad
de_storm.wad
decals.wad
halflife.wad
itsItaly.wad
liquids.wad
prodigy.wad
tswad.wad
xeno.wad

(please let me know if I miss some official wad)

These wads are those that come with the original game and these textures are those that may be used in this contest. The only external wad that can be added is the "official" contest:

17bsolstice.wad

May also include a wad in bsp with the method of "wadinclude" at the time of compilation of the map. But only allowed to include a texture that is used for the "signature" of the author of the map, an image with a logo, a signature or banner of the author.

The remaining external textures are not allowed with this method of "wadinclude". This criterion is used to achieve a "unification" on all maps that are competing.

In my case, if I may, I will use two images for my signature that will be hidden somewhere in the map:

An image for the author's signature and a banner for my Studio "BlackDragon Project Studio", if not let me use the banner, I can unify into a single image with the signature, that depends on the organizers of the contest ...

I have a problem with understanding of using texture

For the moment you're right Max.

Vova: don't worry: we should soon find a solution that can satisfy everybody.


Note: Really, very sorry for our server. We are searching why it is so slowly since two days and I hope we should quickly find what's happen because it is very annoying.

I don't think you should be adding more and more textures to that .wad, cause you might as well allow custom .wad's then.

hy boys and girls , im chaosmedia90 from Romania [ old mapper deathrun and other modes ] , me can i enter in this contest mapping? ))

Of course you can.
Send pm with a valid email

not so fast what i want , i need use my wad-files , not limited to sicks wads from cs-16 default and i use wadinclude , so?

Perhaps another time, but for actual contest you can't use your own wads (just wadinclude your signature).

Sorry.

ok thanks for reply , is sick ideea that with default wads, you limited imagination of mapper and reduced resources
Good luck to participants !

Quite the contrary.

I think limiting the use of external wads and forcing the use of one wad forces mappers to show imagination and creativity to stand out from other competitors.

Anyone (even me.. ) can make a free map. Making a map with forced wads is much more complicated.

This increases the complexity and level of competition. The resulting map will necessarily be a great map especially with the very high level of registered mappers.

I look forward to seeing the results.

+1, i agree

@SergioPoverony
Your texture are pretty and conform with our contest, so we'll add them, if Chapo wants.

Chapo you can add me in list

Thanks.

If you are going to change the textures of 17bsolstice.wad please update and subirlaa the web. It will be the third time I get off

(And since you are adding textures ... You could add a blue roof textutas? would like the actual roof textures, but the same blue color with the windows, I could use for my new map...lol )

. Ok to add Sergio's textures (if they are really necessary)

. Vova asked me in private if you MUST use 17solstice.wad (perhaps he could use only default textures): Of course you must

. Max, what does mean "blue roof textutas" ?

Sorry if we are still hesitant about the wads. This is our first contest (and we hope this is not the last) and we want it to be perfect

Don't forget to rename the texture "crate23" from 17bsolstice.wad

Waiting for Max to explain his "blue roof textutas" and we will upload an new version of solstice.

I meant only a small change, but do not think it possible, for the map that I have thought I could use to add something like:



It matches with the windows and the blue door, but it was just a suggestion, very personal.

But also would leave the other roof, just add a texture to the package which may be useful

PS: I hope I was clear, my English is very bad

Sergio's textures are not really necessary, we can create the same effect with a well build map
