[♆] Event #9 - Sculptoris by ProfessorUtonium June 26, 2015 at 2:06 AM UTC


Event #9: This is the ninth official event on the Avicus Network, known as "Sculptoris". Be warned. This Build Competition is different from the rest. You are not building for a specific gamemode/theme. We are giving you a set of blocks you need to use for a map. 


Block Limitation:
Sandstone Block
Sandstone Slab
Sandstone Staircase
Fence
43:8
Stonebrick Block
Stonebrick slab
Stonebrick staircase 
Cobblestone wall
Chest
Glowstone
Bedrock
Acacia Log
Wool (any color - Max 4 colors)
Signs
Stained Clay (any color - Max 4)

Who are the judges?
The individuals that will be judging this competition are ProfessorUtonium and Joltz_. Judges for this contest will not change, so please do not ask to become one. You may however request to become a judge for future Avicus building competitions.

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 must follow the block limitation
- You may not create more than 4 maps for Sculptoris 


A couple of things:
These blocks won't be affected in these gamemodes

Obsidian: (only the monument) Nebula DTM
Sand: (only for the walls) Walls
Beacon: (only for capture point) CTH



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 any gamemode that you wish to make a map for

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 CTH maps are eligible to be in this contest. You have the permission to post your thread link in the post below so we can see it easier.

1. Do not give in-constructive feedback by knocking others down to build yourself up.
2. Do not steal maps; all maps are your property. Violations of this are a permanant 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?
Feel free to ask out for tutorials on YAML, either from a map developer or other players on Avicus, that are experienced with it. Our YAML documentation is currently down. 

What is the prize?
The prize will be credits. If more than one author, each author will receive the same amount of credits. 

Is the spreadsheet public?
Yes! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kVXJBRgVLbr6UJfrBEHK-5ysJqXrIdYa1b0RlMmBI_4/edit#gid=0

Skylar wants a new document by the looks of it

ProfessorUtonium June 27, 2015 at 11:06 PM UTC

Also following up to what someone asked me. Maps can have any items in the chests and any items in the loadout. They don't need to follow the limitation

ProfessorUtonium June 28, 2015 at 3:06 PM UTC

So far we have had one submission
Hopefully more players will be making maps  :D

no smooth or chiseled sandstone blocks?

ProfessorUtonium June 28, 2015 at 4:06 PM UTC

no smooth or chiseled sandstone blocks?
I would've stated "Chisled Sandstone Block" or "Smooth sandstone block"


it just says "Sandstone Block" so the normal Sandstone

Oki Thanks!

ProfessorUtonium June 29, 2015 at 1:06 PM UTC

If there are any other questions with block types,  you can post it here

Subscriptor June 29, 2015 at 2:06 PM UTC

can i use sings for spectator hub and also like in embers where you click a sign to teleport, i also need sings for that. is that allowed?

ClubberNugget June 29, 2015 at 2:06 PM UTC

Since a dtm map is allowed obsidian
And a walls map is allowed sand
Are beacons allowed in a cth map?

ProfessorUtonium June 29, 2015 at 2:06 PM UTC

Yes signs are allowed

@Bacon yes, beacons are allowed for CTH only

ClubberNugget June 29, 2015 at 9:06 PM UTC

Are stone slabs considered 43:8 or do I need to edit my map?

ProfessorUtonium June 29, 2015 at 9:06 PM UTC

Can we use stone slabs? It's the slab version of the 43:8 block.

ProfessorUtonium July 4, 2015 at 3:07 AM UTC
