I know that ffs.

What I wanted to ask is why will you use PM to notify us.

Will you also post it on this thread so everybody can see what the contest is all about once it starts?

I PM to notify that the contest has started. I'll update the thread, also.

Esb, if there weren't 5 extra points for JASS I'd probably GUI it since GUI is kinda quicker >_>

Lol. (Did I just say 'lol'?)

:p

25 points for triggering and 20 for the gameplay? Isn't this more of a coding instead of a mapping contest? o.0

It's 20 points for each category, sounds fair. The 5 points are extra, and maybe, if people will still whine about it, I MIGHT add a few bonuses for using GUI...We'll see. Not likely, though. I hate whining.



Going to update the contestants list.

//Edit--->

Exact time for start/end of contest?

btw any system allowed?

Yes. Systems are allowed.



The deadline is so far in the future, because I thought this contest would lack contestants...I was wrong. 10 already.

Anyway, if there are 15 or more contestants by the 13th of July, I'll change the beginning of the contest to 18th. Then, it would finish 21st of July.

Why should GUI get extra points?! The result counts. If you do a bad map in GUI nobody will play it just because it's GUI.

No, nobody will play it since it's a bad map?
Make more sense! Gah!

Lol. (Did I just say 'lol'?)
Am I the only person in the world that finds GUI quicker? Oh well. I use JASS because it's still better.

And don't care about that GUI-JASS thing, many of the good JASSers are bad at terraining, so you can get your extra points there.
I've always sucked at terraining :D
wait a second... crap! lol

okay i try to say it better:

If you have 2 versions of a map, 1 GUI and 1 Jass and they are equally beside the advantage of Jass. Will somebody play the GUI one just because it's GUI?

edit:
BTW: How many hours will you work on you map?

this contest is going to be fun,
the GUIers will do their best to prove GUI is the best!
and the same for the JASSers.

everone will work harder, and because of the 3 day time limit, also faster

FUN :D

(oh and i use JASS, no systems please<3 )

this thread will be closed because of the upcoming GUI - JASS war
,. caused by the +5 earnable points.

Theres not war just simple arguements. Lets just drop the GUI vs JASS thing. JASS is better end of story. If JASSers need a advantage to win a competitions then let them.

I would be very dissapointed in us, if a moderator or higher has to close this thread because just somebody thinks GUI is better than JASS or vice-versa.

One can make a excellent map with both, GUI and JASS. Independetly used, or merged together.


I suggest to enjoy that this is the first 'Speed Mapping' contest Thehelper.net has hosted. Try not to get it closed.

Yes.
You might want to tell people not to make the map protected. I know what your thinking "who the hell would protect their map?". Its happened before.

I don't have a job or anything because I'm actually too young to get one, but what about the people with jobs? Won't this competition kind of be a problem if they have to work one of the days?

I wouldn't suggest grown-ups to read this thread, anyway. Bunch of people argueing - what is better, JASS or GUI.



ANYWAY, the rules of this thread are: no flaming or spamming!

Exact starting time?

edit:
BTW: How many hours will you work on you map?

1 : Half of people will open the GUI map to see how it looks
2 : Half of people will open the JASS map to see how it's scripted

btw working time depends on people - ex I will have 1 ea hour so it's 3 hours for map :D (if i participate)

If that is the case, then perhaps count me in if it will eb changed? Since I would be participating if the date were to be moved, I think I could count as one of the 15 that needs to be signed up.

Just a thought. I don't do enough competitions as it is, so I may as well start now. :)


Have a nice day.

I need to work on my terraining, I suck hard at it.

If only there were functions that generate terrain :)

Come to it I think I played one map once that changed tilesets dynamically
it was some chess map or something...

I wonder how they did it.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
