[♆] Event #4 - Chamaeleon by Atheyna December 3, 2014 at 4:12 AM UTC

Event #4: This is the fourth official event on the Avicus Network, known as "Chamaeleon" You are given some time to construct a map in the gamemode "Avicade" You have the choice of CaveIn, Chroma, Minotaur, OiTC, and Red Alert.There are a few rules however, but it should be fun for everyone!



Who are the judges?
TheHoopsman and Sethskye. The judges may change.

What are the rules?
You have to follow these rules or your map will be rejected.
- You may not have more than 3 authors.
- You may not produce maps for any minigame  with the exception of Avicade. This contest will hopefully encourage people to start producing maps for Avicade in the future!
- You may not submit more than 2 maps for this contest.

What are the guidelines?
Maps are judged in the following aspects;
- Gameplay (How do you think the map will play on the servers?)
- Aesthetics (How pleasing to the eye does it look?)
- Creativity (Is it unique and really stands out?)

YAML will be done by a map developer if you wish, and it will not count against you. We're all here to help!

What gamemodes can I do?
You can do anything possible within YAML as long as it is for Avicade.

How do I submit my map?
Put a [CONTEST] tag in the title. By doing so, you are entered into the contest and put into a spreadsheet. It contains the map name, authors, thread link, jurisdiction of approval/denial, and it's gamemode. All maps are eligible to be in this contest. You have the permission to post your thread link in the post below so I can see it easier.

1. Do not give inconstructive feedback by knocking others down to build yourself up.
2. Do not steal maps; all maps are your property. Violations of this are a perma ban.
3. Do not ghost produce; don't have other users make a map for you and you take credit.
4. Do not spam judges; patience is a large key. Wait for a response on your map.
5. Do not ghost view; don't tally a ton of thread views in your thread for attention.
6. Do not make joke maps; all maps must be true submissions to the server.
7. Do not submit maps made prior to this; all maps must be "newly produced".
8. Always give credit. No matter what the case, credit everyone who authored.

How can I create YAML?
Use our documentation resource at docs.avicus.net.

What is the prize?
This will most likely be a certain amount of XP, but we are unsure and need to discuss it further.

Is the spreadsheet public?
Yes! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1a9CYPRvSxJWrkJiugM7Hl3dlCmi6M5iwYG-xU5dhK0w/edit?usp=sharing

It mostly depends on how much players enter the competition

GL on everyone entering!

Spartemex December 3, 2014 at 2:12 PM UTC

Atheyna December 3, 2014 at 11:12 PM UTC

Script, can I judge? :)
This is a possibility for future events, but for this event I am only allowing two judges. (The second is Sethskye)

Does Chroma have to be quartz block and also what's CaveIn?

Atheyna December 4, 2014 at 3:12 PM UTC

Does Chroma have to be quartz block and also what's CaveIn?
When making a Chroma map, always use Quartz blocks. The game doesn't work without them. 

CaveIn is pretty much a parkour type mini game where blocks are falling from the roof and you have to be the first to the top.

Whale__Warrior December 4, 2014 at 3:12 PM UTC

Any type of quatz ????

Atheyna December 4, 2014 at 3:12 PM UTC

Any type of quatz ????
Regular Quartz Block.

MidnightBeats December 4, 2014 at 11:12 PM UTC

I'll try making a map with my friend ;p

Atheyna December 5, 2014 at 5:12 PM UTC

I think we will go back to giving out a Gold rank as a prize. The EXP won't be able to be transferred to users.

ProfessorUtonium December 5, 2014 at 7:12 PM UTC

ParaSpider Official explanation, since I haven't gotten around to it;

Chroma (originally entitled ColorCube) is a minigame that was originally inspired from a MinecraftForums post, and we took that but twisted it with some of our own ideas. Chroma is where you gain a feather (brush) and you have to paint the entire map most of your color before time runs out. PvP is enabled so you can knock the other player out of the world, and there are powerups that fall occasionally for you to use such as glue to stick a player down to where he can't move, and so forth it is supposed to have 4 teams, and for the maps to be decently sized

Thanks Para!

Good luck to all map creators and contributors! Have fun while creating and submitting it. And keep in mind, it's just for the fun of map creating :D

Spoookeh December 12, 2014 at 9:12 PM UTC

Can you use any other type of block other can quartz for chroma? Like ANY? And can we use stairs?

ViceTechnicolour December 12, 2014 at 10:12 PM UTC

You can but it won't claim

toketrain December 13, 2014 at 3:12 AM UTC

Awesome! Here's my map!
I would totally play Avicade more if there were people on, and more maps for it.

We will determine a winner of Chamaeleon shortly after the 16th.

resepignev December 15, 2014 at 9:12 PM UTC

Well, the contest ends on the 16th. So can we still post maps for it?

ProfessorUtonium December 15, 2014 at 10:12 PM UTC

Yes you can until the 16th which for me is in 9 hours and 28 minutes

Atheyna December 17, 2014 at 4:12 AM UTC

Avicus' 4th building competition, "Chamaeleon", is officially over. Thanks to everyone that took time out of their day to produce a map for this contest!

The judges have accepted or denied all contest entries and will shortly determine a winner of Chamaeleon. This winner will receive a gold rank. As well, all denied map creators have been left with a response on their thread about their denial.

BoldAndBrash December 17, 2014 at 12:12 PM UTC

I have not yet posted my download.. Will this mean I can't win? I have the download on my pc but it is currently very hard to get on

PokerFace December 17, 2014 at 10:12 PM UTC

I got an idea for event #5. New years map! Festive design for new 2015. Not using natural landscapes but more like manmade map. For the gamemode, I would say for CTH as it has not been used.

*Only 3 weeks to complete, deadline-Dec.31
