So... when exactly does it end? I can't take much more of this... lol.

It ended yesterday, I was very busy and couldn't get online, my apologies for that.

As I count it;

Tucker:5
DeadHamster: 5
MoDFox: 2
Andrew_b: 2

Wasn't exactly planning on a tie, definitely wasn't planning on two ties, but...I guess thats what happened.

So, first place goes to:

Tucker/DeadHamster

Second Place:

Andrew_b/MoDFox

I promised that I'd give a signature I believe. I lied, no signature for you. I have 3 80x80 avatars, which are just those shiny orbs in gold, silver and bronze, which was easier for my nonexistent graphic skills to make.

Since there was no third, bronze is out. If A_b, ModFox, or Tucker would like to use the avatar, please PM me, I'll send a link to the image for you to use.

I'd like to personally and greatly thank tucker933, MoDFox, and Andrew_b for entering. Thank you very much for putting forth the work to make these great mods.

I'd also like to personally thank WaeV, bcnipod and JK-47 for making their mods for entering, and not rushing to get them finished in time for the contest. I'd like very much for all of you to finish them, It'd be great to see these completed.

Ombre, from what I've heard I'm very excited to see your's completed, it's sure to be great. Keep with it.

One last final thanks goes to everyone who voted, in order:

tucker933
MoDFox
Andrew_b
dylanviey
JK-47
Pepsi
botternub
guysullavin
bcnipod
WaeV
hiheyhello
Modzy
Terror

Thank you all for taking the time to at least look at what these mods had and vote for which you felt what best. I thank you, without you this would've never worked out.

Thanks to everybody for having this work out as well as it did.

And as promised, I'm releasing a special prize for testing purposes to the winner.

Unfortunately, the winner (tucker933), also won the side contest for it (look in my download for more details).

Sooooo.........First reply to this (besides MoDFox, tucker and A_b) gets a copy.

I'm not going to thank myself now am I?

And yes bcnipod, you can has. I'll PM you when it's ready.

Thanks for all the great votes guys, that was a really close match, who would have guessed the results to tie like that.
Didn't someone say somethin about a game being hosted on the winning map?

If I do judge them though, I'd need some players, and even If I can't judge, I'd like to get a room setup for a game on the mod that wins.

=D

How would you guys feel about a monthly contest?

Pepsi · Post by **Pepsi** » Thu Nov 27, 2008 8:18 pm

monthy? ha! i was just about to ask when the next contest began. reason being is...

im going to be releasing something that compliments the whole FTW project thing. But this isnt some big skinning project even thoe skinning will play a role in it all.

see, wither Alt knew it or not he actually fixed a huge issue i had when making FTW and thats making the PMI process so simple now and making what you need to do happen in seconds then needing to keep info sheets on what whet where and so forth. last night while explaoring around with the revised Esch. i came to see how easy alot of things i wanted to do before could be done so easy now.

now i wouldnt venture to say this is going to be FTW2 or anything but just trying to do something thats been a done a few times in the past by some and i touched on it a little in FTW. Im not going to be messing with any of the SP maps cause thats Philly's playground right now but i would venture to say this much..

if i took what im going to do with MP and added with Philly's SP work.. it might be a little scary of the outcome.

but first well see how the first map release goes. if it gets good reviews then ill continue it, so i guess 2 things are for certain...

1. im back to modding again.
2. expect a download soon

side note: go check my new topic. ive been away for a bit and need some help on something.

DeadHamster · Post by **DeadHamster** » Thu Nov 27, 2008 9:01 pm

We missed you Pepsi.

And yeah, any response to a monthly? I'm really in for it, who else?

General_orca · Post by **General_orca** » Thu Nov 27, 2008 10:12 pm

im up for it! ill be more dedicated to it! expect a kewl mod next time!

.......if esch. works for me

a side note can i still submit my SSG map? cause it wasn't in?

DeadHamster · Post by **DeadHamster** » Thu Nov 27, 2008 10:14 pm

As long as it's released between contest start and finish.

check first post for updates. I'm editing it now.

tucker933 · Post by **tucker933** » Thu Nov 27, 2008 10:14 pm

I think its a good idea, but after seeing the turnout this first time... I doubt it will be better, plus people will soon run out of ideas turning mods out that fast...

I... MIGHT enter, I have two mods half done that have been sitting in a dark corner of my flash drive for the better part of a year that I could finnish...
So I'll let you know...

They take originality to an extreme and no flying hogs, so that should make you guys happy.

DeadHamster · Post by **DeadHamster** » Thu Nov 27, 2008 10:26 pm

We'll see how long it can go for.

I'm in. I have something real good planned.

General_orca · Post by **General_orca** » Thu Nov 27, 2008 10:29 pm

Great, another tie, lol jk.
Will see what I can do this time without ability to PMI... =p

DeadHamster · Post by **DeadHamster** » Thu Nov 27, 2008 10:51 pm

why dont you PMI again? Especially with eschaton?

DeadHamster wrote:why dont you PMI again? Especially with eschaton?

I've tried literally hundreds of tutorials and they never worked, so I just gave up on it. Somehow I find a way to mess it up.

I have greatly considered using the new Eschanton, but, I dunno, I might... If I find a need for something like that.
Game play is my greatest concern for my maps/mods..

DeadHamster · Post by **DeadHamster** » Thu Nov 27, 2008 10:57 pm

Try it. It opens a lot of possibilities. A lot.
