Probably the most neglected contest. Next contest will be pending, however it appears interest has lessened. No judge votes even after a few extra judges have been assigned. Seems they cant take it upon themselves without be pming them every second.


Winner:
rce_Tatty

Mapping Contest #3 Information
Start Date: 04-06-2006
End Date: 04-20-2006
Type: rce_
Theme: Lava / Water
Description: You have the option to create a lava or water themed map. It can be either kz_ or rce_ however try to limit the amount of deaths in the level. Notice you do not have a lot of time for this contest because race maps shouldnt take too long. Remember to still focus on graphics since gameplay for a lot of these maps can be fairly close. Again as I've said before, be creative.

Great idea, with the race and whatnot.

Just a question, what does kz stand for?

Sounds like fun. I've never made a race map before.

Edit: Damnit vash, you beat me :/ By the way, kz_ stands for nothing at all. It just means climbing map.

The request by mr america is actually fire AND water....so if you could mix them in your map it would be better however this could be hard so it is NOT required.

[sarcasm]I see the poll at sml was decisive for you to pick this contest's theme.[/sarcasm]
Nevertheless, i do like the race idea. There too few race maps that have a theme (and not many of them fulfill it properly).

[more sarcasm]You bet i'll submit one this time![/more sarcasm]

the poll was if the winner did not have a suggestion such as the previous contest, however the winner is entitled to his own theme.

Shouldn't these silly contests go in the Mapping General forum?

When I try and vote on the maps I get this error:

Notice: Undefined index: special in /home/sml/public_html/conrated.php on line 24

Notice: Undefined index: special in /home/sml/public_html/conrated.php on line 105

Notice: Undefined index: special in /home/sml/public_html/conrated.php on line 136

And it seems like it submitted my scores as N/A for every criteria.

those errors shouldnt affect the rating.

Nice to see more racing maps, these will be useful for the next time soldat events decides to run a racing tournament :). I hope that atleast a few long ones were created this time...

My opinions on the maps:
Firefox and Tatty are clearly the best maps. The other 2 are pure training maps, and for a person like me, extremely boring. Tatty gets a 10 out of 10 in my book for uniqueness.. Excellent map and challenges Losttemple for the best racing map ever. Firefox was pretty good, 8.5 out of 10 because it was pretty unique, although I wasnt blown out by it or anything. Fallout was not at all good gameplay, way too difficult, the looks were good though. But looks to me are the least important aspect. 7/10. Hellsearch is just a typcial training map, decent looks and bad gameplay. 6/10..

I've heard KZ stands for Klimbing Zoldiers.

Question about the map, when u start out (the winner that is) does it go all the way to the right, then go down then to the left, or are they going to go down at like one part
