i'm haveing an editing contest for JK. The way it's set up is, You make an area in the style of a prison, no limit on rooms, just no more then 1 meg zipped. You can use custom mats and 16 bit if you like. I'll post a due date later on. After i pick the entries, I'm going to adjoin the winners together into one level.

Well, right from the beginning I can tell you that you'll have problems adjoining the levels. For starters, you've got to take into consideration the colormap. Then, you need to see if there's going to be any Cogs or 3DO's. And finally, lighting. But if you can find a way to work around these, it sounds like an interestin concept. The lighting/3DO's will probably be the easiest to work around, just add them to the project directory and implement them into the level. Any cogs (say for rotating door, or custom otherwise) you'll have to get help from the authors as to where they should be used and what values they need. As for colormap, you're going to run into problems unless you specify that all textures are a certain colormap, or are customly made.

As well, it's probably going to be a festering pile of crap, considering everyone will have their own style, as well as textures. Perhaps you should just ask people to make seperate prison blocks, and make a small level-pack with the different prisons?

What about a contest based on gameplay and atmosphere?

That will be part of the Criteria, Colormap should be dflt. Didn't think about that. About the different styles, That's what im looking for, It'll make it unique. Also , quthors should add their name somewhere in their section, So that all will know who made that section. Mat or 3do accepted. NO Music files, they are too large to be practicle. Levels should also be sent in the .jed format with what ever mats and cogs and 3dos sent with it, already placed. For more questions, please PM me, and PM me if you are interested and i'll give ya the E-mail to use.

count me in!!!
