Here is the 1st Official xMAPCOM Contest, organized with results from the beta competition in mind.
Please join, do not hesitate. New mappers are extremely welcome.
Theme Name: Ruins of War
Theme Details: When would destroyed buildings and damaged ruins be a positive thing? Only when they're part of a map in DP! According to posts and replies on DPLogin, a post-disaster, destroyed theme was extremely popular. Now, xMAPCOM is helping you develop your detailing skills by hosting this season's contest with the "Ruins" theme in mind. This contest will be starting slightly early, a week before the beginning of October, but this is because the contest will end before Christmas Eve.
Please read the General Rules and Conditions for further details.

Doubleposting to keep the first post official.
So as I said before, anyone willing to team up with me, do most of the work and let me fix it up?
-
All entries must be original.
so, no remakes? When i read the theme, a map I once wanted to make, came into my head and I thought it would fit this theme pretty well..
-
as i said before. musik me and you shall get started asap!! :)
-
@ All mappers: If u want to see ur map on the speed server, don't make it too small and add enough spawns. Thats not a rule from the contest, but it could make ur map very popular. Have fun :)
-
Looking for somebody who wouldn't mind doing a collab and actually has ideas for this :D :D :D

As long as you haven't started the map before this announcement, or that you haven't based your entry on any other originals, then you're good to go.

Nope, I read the theme and an old map idea just came into my head and I thought that it would work nice with that theme. So lets go female doges.

Why do you make the theme so narrow? You could have left it as something like 'ruins' rather than the 'ruins of war.' I mean doing that just broadens the variety of maps that we are getting rather than a bunch of ww2 maps..
-
Me and jeejee are working as a team and we took post ww2 to just mean recent, not the immediate aftermath.
-
If I join a team or make a map independently, I'm going to ignore the whole ww2 thing, and just make some awesome destroyed area.

You guys have no sense of creativity and analytical skills. Who said "war" as in "man vs man"? War could be between nature and man, which basically means the theme could be post WWII, a nuclear disaster, a hurricane aftermath, a post-earthquake event, etc.... Thanks for "RUIN"ing the fun.
EDIT: I see what you mean, it's more the theme explanation than the name. Fixed.
-
eh...i just think of war as battle no matter who its between. anyway enough of the serious stuff. BACK TO THE MAPPING!! :D
-
Ok, I'm going to sign up, too. I don't know if I'll have enough time, but I can try it. It's not short time till the submission deadline date so I hope I could make something.

Hmm, maybe. Holidays for another 4-5 days, then school is gonna get on my back again with exams coming up :(. Well, if its December 23rd then I might have enough time, but I'd rather do it over Summer.
-
Woah why is this on the second page!!! i could of signed up earlier this month!!! Me and myself will be making a map, count me in =D
-
Lol, added on first post. Good luck and HAVE FUN!
-
If anyone has a good layout going but not sure what else to add let me know.
I haven't mapped in awhile to be honest but the creative side hasn't gone anywhere, plus I've been playing tons of war games for PC and PS3 lately so I might be able to remake some of the builds with my own flare.

How are your maps comin female doges? I'm curious that have people already forgotten this :p

Rly bad.. It's hard for me to make some realistic-looking surface. I even can't make a triangle surface :P. But I'm still trying!!
Anyway.. there was some tutorial of this triangle stuff on youtube right? Is it there still? I couldn't find it..
