I'm assuming that proper bumps would indeed look better than improper.

Yes they will...However the nVidia photoshop plugin sucks for normal maps (well..it does the job but it has its shortcomings), I wanna find a good alternative.

But excellent, please use the proper bumps people

I'd like to say, that even though that not all entries are in (I haven't done mine, and niether have others), that the results of this competition is nothing short of excellent... Each entry is very high quality and each changes the theme very well.

Such results make me want to host another in future.

I hope to start my skin today, but with the excellence of the currently-released skins, don't expect anything special from me. These skins are some of the best there are.

are you allowed to edit the contrails?

theycallmechad · Post by **theycallmechad** » Thu Mar 08, 2007 1:08 pm

Anything that changes the look of the map is allowed; however, you can not alter anything to change the gameplay, minus trees and other subtle scenery.

Hmm contrails...is an odd one, why would you want to in the first place?
If its the ghost's contrail then I can understand but for something like the sniper rifle, I dunno seems kinda pointless...
But go for it if you must

yes i was thinking about doing it for the ghost but decided against it. to bad you cant make the needlers skin match the effect it shoots out

Ack, the stress is killing me--I only have 5 more days to finish my skin...oh well. Anyways--everyone go take a look at the beta and tell me what needs work (Of course there is no gaurantee that I'll take your suggestions...this IS my skin after all). (On a side note wait 5 hours and I'll have updated the beta...)

its kinda of ironic cause when scotty decided to make this competeition i was in the process of making a really sweet jungel themed burial mounds wit waterfalls ect i was almost done but then my xbox decided to go awall so i won't be entering but although i don't really have any great skinning back ground id love to be a judge if there is any room left open

Just a heads up that the competition ends today I think...
since I'm from Aus, I'll leave it till the end of the night before closing the comp...Its currently 1056am Sunday, I'll make it due somewhere around 11pm tonight for me.

Oh joy... now all I have to do is MAKE a skin...lol... stupid Entity keeps eating my map...

CptnNsan0 · Post by **CptnNsan0** » Sat Mar 17, 2007 4:10 pm

dothalo then...

JacksonCougAr · Post by **JacksonCougAr** » Sat Mar 17, 2007 4:15 pm

Ugh; I need a break from Oasis; I cant finish to what I feel is an acceptable level right now...

SingingBlaze · Post by **SingingBlaze** » Sun Mar 18, 2007 12:04 am

Sadly my entry isn't going to be ready in time either.

JacksonCougAr · Post by **JacksonCougAr** » Sun Mar 18, 2007 1:30 am

ScottyGEE--quick make another errr...something competition...lol

ScottyGEE · Post by **ScottyGEE** » Sun Mar 18, 2007 1:50 am

Ugh...3 entries not coming in on time...First up, you're all g4y

If i wake up tomorrow morning and I see posts from other entrants saying that they will allow late entries (as they were early), then I could extend it for a short time...

But if that doesn't happen then it is indeed unfortunate that you are unable to enter the skin in time...

As for Secret Oasis, you can still enter the "beta"...Just upload your latest patch...Now...

JacksonCougAr · Post by **JacksonCougAr** » Sun Mar 18, 2007 2:02 am

yes... but no...its progressed beyond that...in fact it done except that I want to add palms...which I cant for some reason without corrupting the map...Oh well I'll finish it then...
EDIT: "Oh this is how we decompile a map--decompile a map! All through the night!!!" God I hate the RAM-eating H2Core...

EDIT: I fix palmtrees then give patch... CougAr needs sleep... SLEEEEP...
