CTW Map making contest RESULTS by dev_revs April 2, 2017 at 8:04 PM UTC

-Event: Capture the wool map making contest!

Description: Recently I have noticed the lack of CTW maps in the avicus map repository. In scrims, the only map to really play is Hold fast, and in public matches, they're are like two-three playable maps. In total eight CTW maps are on avicus. I have decided to host a contest where players will compete with their map building skills for a prize.

Map grading rubric: Maps will be graded on a 100 point scale.

Gameplay- /48 points
-Size
-Pvp Space
-Cover
-Players opinion
-(More)

Aesthetics- /42 points
-Pallette/Blocks used
- Layout
- Height Variation
- (More?)

Originality- -/10 points
-Creativity
-Originality

Rules- You are allowed to work with multiple people on a map, but the prize will not have to be divided. You may steal other maps ideas, and make run-offs. You may not re enter a map that has been in the avicus repository within the last 12 months. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. At least 4 maps must be submitted for the contest to pursue. You may not submit more than three maps.

Prize- The winning map creator will get a 40.00$ steam giftcard, if multiple people made a map, the person who submitted it will receive the gift card, splitting it is up to the main submitioner.

How it will work- *UPDATE!!!!!!* Maps will be submitted on the "Map realeases" subforum with [CONTEST] in their title.
*EVENT WILL BE LIVESTREAMED* We will provide the players needed to test the maps also, during the event to see how they play. When you submit the map, please submit it just like you would on a forum post with the proper information and everything.

XML, Downloads, pictures, ect- All these things must come with the map submitted, if you fail to get us an XML or anything we need to play the map, your map will be disqualified, I suggest sending to a map dev(not Lego or Seth) and ask them to run it on the development server to make sure everything is in tip top shape because these won't be played until the event.

The map must be usable by avicus and you give your guarantee to never retract it.

Event start- April 2
Event end- May 16 11:59pm
Event day- May 19 6 EST

If you have any other questions, please ask down below, hope to see a lot of talented maps being submitted.

Please Congratulate

"the person who submitted it will receive the gift card."

Can't they just split it?

Yes! I just updated it clarifying, its up to the main map maker.

Sorry to burst on a technicality: are remixes of original works allowed? And, as well as that, are we allowed to incorporate schematics from other Minecraft builders online such as houses and cabins, etc.?

kon333 April 2, 2017 at 10:04 PM UTC

I can't do map downloads or XML, can we get help with that?

dev_revs April 3, 2017 at 3:04 AM UTC

Yes you are allowed to make remixed, but I am not quite understanding your second question, but I am going to say yes.

dev_revs April 3, 2017 at 3:04 AM UTC

You may get help with any of those from anyone but judges.

_DISTRACTION_ April 3, 2017 at 3:04 AM UTC

At the very least, you should credit those who made the schematics you use as contributors.

This also applies to everyone else who uses others' structures.

Clijmart April 3, 2017 at 8:04 AM UTC

Are mixed maps allowed? A DTM+CTW for example, with a monument and 2 wool?
I've got some great ideas :)

dev_revs April 3, 2017 at 2:04 PM UTC

EDJM9 that would mean I would donate to the server

kon333 April 3, 2017 at 2:04 PM UTC

I forgot to say this is a really good event, could get alot of the community into map making :D

dev_revs April 5, 2017 at 3:04 AM UTC

Do you prefer maps with only 2 teams or is it up to the map maker how many teams can play the map?

dev_revs April 7, 2017 at 6:04 PM UTC

I would love to see the majority of maps being 2 teams, but definitely would love to see one with 3-4 teams. 8 players per team, 4 teams scrim at once :)

If you are on the avicus discord, you could ping a map dev. I would help you, but i know nothing about XMl. Sorry. Im sure a map dev would help though.

Uh, no? PieZ added the map and it had it saved as .txt in the repository. Wouldn't have been my fault.

profbananaslug May 20, 2017 at 3:05 PM UTC

i don't know exactly what the whole issue was, you'd have to ask him
