    Hi there and welcome to 2019! We've got lots of exciting things planned but for now we're kicking off the new year with a deathrun mapping competition!

     

    Deadline and submission

    All maps must be submitted by 11:59PM GMT on February 17th. Submitting a map is done by creating a topic in Please login or register to see this link.  with screenshots/info/whatever of your map and a download link. Your topic title should start with "[Mapping Contest]" to differentiate between contest submissions and regular content.

     

    Prizes

    Right now the prizes are as follows:

    • 1st place: 3 months of VIP
    • 2nd place: 2 months of VIP
    • 3rd place: 1 month of VIP

    I'll probably throw in a 15-20 EUR Steam gift card for first place if enough people show interest. If anyone else wants to contribute to the prize pool, hit me up.

     

    Rules

    • You must be able to finish on 190 speed with a speed scale of 1.0 (why else would you be entering this competition?)
    • Your map must have a working endmap trigger
    • Your map must make use of the trigger list method for trap activation XP (if anyone doesn't know how to do this, hit me up and I'll write up a quick tutorial)
    • Broken lightgrid or failure to compile reflections = disqualified (no one likes a broken map)
    • No custom weapons (for the love of god, can people please stop doing this?)
    • Do not force viewhands/playermodels/weapons/... on players upon spawning
    • You can add secrets, but they are NOT to be taken into account when judging a map
    • You must not have started mapping before the time at which this was posted
    • You must be able to run your map using 1.7

     

    Criteria

    We will have the community vote on each map with a set of criteria, each with a rating out of 5:

    • Theme
    • Level of detail
    • Uniqueness and variation of traps
    • Map flow

     

    You can gain additional points with the following criteria (2.5 for each):

    • Optimisation (proper use of caulk etc. will gain you points, portalling for big and detailed maps is appreciated but won't be taken into account)
    • Submitting a map without script errors :)

    Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

    Due to time constraints and me being generally preoccupied with college and other work lately we won't have a big holiday event this year. What we will however do is grant everyone 2 days of VIP, starting 24/12 at 4PM GMT until 26/12 at 4PM GMT. :) This will be for both deathrun and surf (since our VIP system isn't tied to a specific server).

    Additionally, 2x XP will be enabled on deathrun from 28/11 at 10PM GMT until 30/11 at 12AM GMT.

    I promise to make up for the lack of special events next year (plus we have a mapping contest coming in ~2 weeks). :x

    We were asked if we wanted to participate in a friendly promod tournament that would take place sometime after the holidays. From what I've gathered:

    • Just for fun, anyone's free to sign up regardless of skill level
    • Multi-day event
    • Match times are chosen by the participating teams to accomodate players
    • The tournament will be live streamed
    • EU servers

    Details: Please login or register to see this link.

     

    Anyone wanting to participate and form a Raid team? :P
