Hello!
After unforseen downtime, the AMD + Tremcentral Sponsored Map Contest has finally come to an end in judging! This means that we now have the maps ready to be published, but before I do that I'd like to say a few things.

First off, I greatly appreciate all of the map contestants that submitted their maps - even those that started and did not finish, and while I hope you will finish your maps - I still appreciate the effort. The first annual Tremcentral.com Map contest went very well, we have a total of 5 maps that were completed and submitted. Four of the maps are very very well done, and we see a lot of promise from these maps.

Second off, I'd like to thank the Judges. Without the judges, this simply would not have happened - as they are what organized, planned, and voted for the maps. The judges for this competition were:
* Risujin
* Meow11
* Oblivion
* Geek
* Bissig

Unforunetely, we had several judges drop out. But these fellows stuck it through till the end and were a big help to me!

Now - onto the Map Contest....As promised, the person that wins this contest will win the following:

- Your name on the Tremcentral.com website, congratulating you. (Real and/or Nickname).
- Rotation spot on the SST Server for 1 week minimum.
- Bragging rights
- CASH PRIZE of $25 Payable via Paypal
- AMD 580X Motherboard (Value - $80)

These are the maps up for judge:

Brain And Yourface with the map VEDDAK!
This map was very well done. It touched us in many ways (haha). Congratulations guys, and please get in contact with me to redeem your prizes.

You can't believe how hard I was hoping for Ship to win. We played that map so much it made my head spin. While I'm happy for Veddak, it did get boring fairly quickly, and the mechanisms started to feel gimmicky. Ship happens to be very simple, very fast, very fun map to play.

And no offense to Odin, but I can't see how Insanity got such a high score. It was a pretty fun map. I did like the way insanity was laid out, but it was just sooooo laggy. I know you can turn off all of the special nice texturing, but it really ruined what the map was about.

Please fix, its Brain, not Brian >.>

zomg too much win to handle

Bissig · « **Reply #6 on:** August 24, 2008, 07:19:37 am »

I am happy how this worked out!

Very nice work done in a few weeks by the contestants. I hope some maps get the "final touch" in the next weeks. Also I hope that the mappers who dropped out due to time constraints try to take up where they stopped.

Also, I would like to thank Meow for investing time and resources to get this contest up and running!

Now a view remarks to what Frak posted:

1. Ship is far, far, far from being done. It is neither balanced nor is it nice looking. The idea is good. But that is far from being enough
2. Insanity is very promising if Odin finds the time to optimize it. From the looks that is the map that would win the "best gfx" awards. At current it is unplayable due to major fps drops

I am suprised about the amount of work that almost all contestants put into doors ;-) With these new maps the stock maps somewhat look outdated and GREY ;-)))

Thank you!

WHoooooooooooOO!

Okay, wait, let me calm down a minute, the adrenaline is still going.

Okay.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Heh, congrats to everyone who entered! I wasn't even expecting to get that high of a score...

Of course, due to Murphey's law, I find the glitches two days after the contest. At least now I can release a proper beta version...

I still haven't had time to even download any of the other maps.

Oblivion · « **Reply #8 on:** August 24, 2008, 10:04:43 am »

Congratulations your face and brain!
I was glad to be the one to help judge your map. It was good work!
Again congratulations. Also I'm going to link this topic from the forums of Gamez-Host and make a selection for the winner on the home page of Gamez-Host.

This is fantastic.
Thanks again confess for putting this together, it was a great success.

I have announced the winners on the home page of Gamez-Host and linked it to the topic here.
Great job guys, and to those of you who put the effort into making maps to enter the contest.

About the motherboard...

Sweet. Cant wait to play them, after i get through this mountain of work.

amz181 · « **Reply #15 on:** August 24, 2008, 09:14:46 pm »

ive downloaded it but noones got a game room with it playing. And playing by yourself on a server is boring (plus i cant make a good server)

amz181 · « **Reply #16 on:** August 24, 2008, 09:32:16 pm »

IMPORTANT!!!!

You accidently put the link for wrektify, instead of veddak, i downloaded the wrong map because of it. And im sure many more will make the same mistake so change it, quick!

doomagent13 · « **Reply #17 on:** August 24, 2008, 09:38:47 pm »

Unless something changed, the maps should still be on SST. All you need to do is call a vote...

Snake · « **Reply #18 on:** August 24, 2008, 09:41:18 pm »

HAHAHHAHAHA LOL

this is the real url for veddak:

thanks, snake.

amz181 · « **Reply #20 on:** August 24, 2008, 09:59:05 pm »

That is one seriously nice map!!!!

the graphics truly look amazing, and the amazing thing is, my framerate was pretty much constant, and didnt drop when i was in combat like some of the other big maps e.g. Niveus

Im gonna post some screens so that you all download it :p

Congratz to the makers

amz181 · « **Reply #21 on:** August 24, 2008, 10:20:57 pm »

Oh so beautiful SCREENS!

this is my favourite, there are many wonderful textured glass window throughout the game, this is one of them. (theres glass rooftops aswell

)

I STRONGLY reccomend you see the next ones...

LOOK AT ALL OF THEM NOW!

Also, note how diverse each of the textures are, and there all in one map. Lighting isnt an issue, as is with most default trem maps. All those screens were taken on default brightness.

I really love the map.
