Full Scale Contest

[Windecker]

Since nothing has happened here in a fair time, I'd like to start a large scale contest. Now.

I was hoping one or several of our many admins would pitch in and run one before, but this whole thing is voluntary and people have things to do.

I propose we take an existing sauer map ( with author's permissions ) and strip it down to its guts.
The idea of the contest is take this stripped map and rebuild it to your own image, and make it fully functional and playable. * key emphasis on Playable *

Details-
-Map needs to have geometric detail, texturing, and lighting to an extent to make it appealing to people who play it.
-Map needs to be complete with weapons, spawn-points, and flag-bases if applicable.
-Map needs proper way-points. A document will be posted detailing the way-pointing process for those who do not know.
-Map needs a mapshot to be displayed upon loadup.
-Layout may be modified to improve game-play, but it should still resemble the original layout.
-Be creative, make it interesting, and make it original.

This is not a Detailing contest, this is a focusing on the entire process. We wan't a playable map. Eye candy is nice, but it needs to come with the rest of the bundle.

If enough people agree with this... I'd like to start it tomorrow, ( assuming people check in on this forum ), or the day following.
There will be a 2 ( two ) week signup period, and then 5 ( 5 ) weeks of time to work, followed by a 3 ( three ) day turn-in period. Entries may come in prior to the turn-in period.

The entry process will be cleaned up and simplified and stated on the official post, if this goes through.

I have some maps for consideration. This is a list of the good maps from quadropolis that i have picked up over the years. Ive uploaded the map files here. As for copy right restriction, they are all posts on quad so i guess look there for the author's name.

I'm unable to look at them right now but I shall when I return home. I'd like to start this by the end of the week, and then leave two weeks for registration. ( two weeks after the initial plan, but I had to do some things. )

if you want more maps i can give them to you ... i have less polished maps then the ones i gave you.
