i have changed what my entry will be.
i wanted to do the escape game but i am to lazy to make russian soldier retextures! my idea is that a lady is going away for the week, and she wants u to do household chores, but then u accidentally get locked in the basement, and u have to figure out how to get out! u will find all sorts of cool things in it, i've already got it have done. Do we get points for custom media? cause i am using a lot of it!
btw i am the shooter with a diffrent name.

Sounds cool. You get points for custom media, but only if you make it. Downloading content and using it doesn't count as custom.

i know. i have made a bunch of custom segments (soon i will sell them in the tgc store). my level is coming along good. i have a question. if i turn the light map quality down would it speed the game up? cause right now it makes it go at 1 fps for this level.

No, it will not. It will make the game load faster, but it will still lag just as much. As long as the lights are static, the lightmap quality makes no difference, you will need to optimize your level.

Decreasing the lightmap TEXTURE SIZE will improve the speed of the game. The lightmap quality only affects the accuracy of the rendering process, so a higher quality will make it slower to compile but look nicer (no drop in performance).

quick question, i want to have a level design where as you proceed, previous areas become blocked by armed guards. Would it be allowed to include these armed guards, armed with weapons, just block a pathway? They wouldn't shoot you, just if you tried to return to a previous area, the guards would remind you that you cannot return.
example: You walk back to a doorway to find it blocked by two armed guards. You walk close [hitting a trigger zone that plays a sound file] and the guards say, "It is too dangerous to return here. We are taking care of the creatures, please continue to find an escape."

Idk, just an idea I had to reduce lag, by eliminating parts of the level.

EDIT: Also im entering lol

I think he was talking to me. You can only put them there if they have melee weapons or no weapons.

You may add the ones that bite, not the ones that shoot stuff.

i am going to have a lighted version and an unlighted version. this is because i have a low end computer and lights dont work well in levels of this sort. so if the lighted doesnt do well, u can just do the unlighted one.
btw what is fpsc agent for?

Mods are, unfortunately not allowed for this contest, I will consider it for future ones. But there will be a list of usable mods, so there won't be an unfair advantage to coders.

It would give an unfair advantage to people who are too far in to there entry to change versions for mods. Maybe next competition.
