I hope the server checks for viruses during the upload.
I usually check anything that I download anyway."

I wasn't talking about viruses.

Don't you want someone other than than just me to see the finished level?
By posting the maps here, anyone can play them and give critism.

These are quick levels intended to be made public, so if you are worried about keepng your game ideas secrets, then don't post those here.
There are no media concerns since we are using stock, but I guess you might have scripts you want to keep quiet for later releases.

You have to attach the map to a post here in this thread to enter.
I will start a list of entries on the first post of this thread once I see the attachments start appearing."

Sure it would be nice for many people to review my level. Anyone can play them, but also anyone can edit them. Somebody could just download my map, make some adjustments and claim it as their own work. I have been on many other forums and this can happen. Most people don't usually notice until a few days later. The prize could have already been given out by that time. I don't think I have any secrets and I well know that the rules state stock material only, I am just worried that other people could cheat. It would be good to be proven wrong of course. I am however new to these forums and do not know the kind of character most members are. I just don't like people cheating off my work. It happened countless times before.

If you are worried about people stealing your work then post something that you don't mind making public.

Well, it is totally up to you whether to enter or not.

I cannot guarantee that someone will not base a project off your design or even one of all the levels entered put together with a story line.

I can guarantee that is not my intention.

I thought it would be fun to see a bit of creativity from new users who want to win a copy of The FPSC Bonanza.

No thought was given to the entries being proprietary, so consider your entries here as public domain and don't post any ideas that you don't want to share.

Or, just don't enter.

It's up to you.

I don't think you understand what I am saying. It does not matter now, I will just decide to upload my level at the last second.

I understand now.
Don't want any copy cat entries.
That explains why no one has entered yet.
                                             
If I see any of that going on, then I will be looking closely at who submitted first, so don't worry.
Just be sure to post before the deadline, and you will be fine.

YAY! The contest's first entry is in.

I have listed the entry in the first post of this thread.

As the judge, I will not comment on any entries until after the deadline. (don't want to influence the designs)
However, the rest of you guys can feel free to comment as much as you like.

I can say at this point, great job Field meister_Gilmer and congrats on submitting the first entry.

I downloaded your map. I didn't mind playing it. Here's just a couple of things I noticed about your game, which I think could have improved it. I'm not trying to be harsh

I know you were limited to stock segments/entities for the contest, but I found it odd how you mixed the sci-fi with the world war II stuff.

A couple of your doors had removed the walls when you placed them. So I could see/shoot enemies inside other rooms.

I killed most of the enemies before they even started shooting me. Even in the rooms with lots of enemies. Maybe you could have increased their rate of fire to make things a little more exciting.

You had lots of dynamic entities on your map (the boxes spring to mind). Personally unless I needed it to be dynamic, I would place it as a static entity. FPSC has a tendency to slow down even on fast computers, so try to avoid any unnecessary dynamic entities which require processing power.

I also noticed you placed down multiple sound zones in your generator room, to make sure the whole room made the noise. You can click and drag zones to make them bigger. Then you would have only had to place one down to fill the room

Again, I'm not trying to be nasty. Hopefully you can use some of what I have said to make bigger and better things in the future

Congratulations on completing your entry.

@ Thraxas; Thanks for the comments. I was trying ( but obviously failed, mainly because the sci-fi stuff is TOO futuristic)to make a Sci-fi WWII wolfenstein style mix. I did notice several of your problems mentioned, except for the missing walls. that's strange. I will look into that. You weren't harsh. just truthful. Thanks for commenting. Oh, and thanks for telling me about that soundzone thing. didnt know that. I was wondering why anyone would want it to be like "Hum...hum...hum...hum" It was pretty irksome. The dynamic entities, I thought I made them static. hmmm. I guess i didnt save when I did that. Yeah, the crates are annoying. they fall everywhere. Your criticisms were very helpful. thank you.

We still have a week left, so I expect we might see a few last minute entries.
Unless of course they forget about it that day and the deadline slips past.
I'll be checking the thread daily and I'll finalize the entry list at the deadline.

I think I might not be able to make the deadline ): Oh yea, TGC still marks me as a new member so they gotta approve my posts before they appear. I am afraid that I might post my level before the deadline, then they will approve my post after the deadline. Will it still be disqualified?

If your member join date is new then I will allow a buffer for the post approvals.
It's okay, so don't worry.

played most of it but it was so laggy onmy comp I didnt finish. All I can really say is, good work but it should have had more of a point. Also, for the soldiers, I also had this problem, but you should try and change the coding so that they dont just stand around and wait for you to shoot them. otherwise, good job. cant really say good luck, as you are my opponent. let the best designer win.

I never saw it, so they need to leave it up if they want it to be added to the list of entries.
Maybe they want to make more changes and enter later.

No your post didn't get deleted. Because you edited it, and you're still on post approval, it disappeared from the sight of mere mortals.

It's now re-approved and back for all to see.

It was very laggy on my computer too. I haven't had much lag with FPSC levels since upgrading to this PC, but it's nothing a bit of level optimisation couldn't fix

I enjoyed this level, it was a bit sparse in parts but overall it was quite good.

Good question Jenkins, and you beat me to it because I do need to know.

Quote: "friends"

Great

I downloaded your map and I examined/built/played it while I waited for your answer to appear.

As I said before, I will limit my comments until after the deadline, but I will say well done at this point.
Thanks for entering ThePSXGamer & Friend(s), and I will go add your entry to the first post now.

Deadline is tomorrow people, so get busy and don't forget to enter on time.

I know, there wasn't much time for this one and some of you got late start.
A little bit of something is better than a whole lot of nothing.
So, enter what you have done, but just be sure to enter.

Hi this is my individual entry for the competition. I'm having some bugs when I go back up a staircases that Ive already gone down which causes the game to close. Also sometimes it will close when you go downstairs. If you keep playing the game though it will eventually work.

I actually really enjoyed your game. I really liked how you through a story zone in there too with the original video lol. I at first thought the editor and game crashed but then the video popped up and I was like, dude, that's awesome lol.
I experienced your bugs as well though. There's one particular staircase that keeps closing the editor and the game every time you go back up it. And sometimes going down any of the staircases everything would just close.
SO I actually tried to fix the problem in the editor. But I honestly couldn't. I have no idea why it's doing that. Must just be some stupid FPSC bug.

Seems like we'll be seeing good things from you in the future.

Thanks for entering Lemmywinks!
I will add this to this first post now.

Quote: "I'm having some bugs when I go back up a staircases that Ive already gone down which causes the game to close. Also sometimes it will close when you go downstairs. If you keep playing the game though it will eventually work. "

That's funny, because I played all the way through the first try without any stair bugs at all. (I did die once though)
Well Done!

Title: The Mansion
Individual Entry

Objectives
1. Make your way to the Exit on the other side of the mansion.
2. Kill all 3 SS Officers

Story
You are Alfred Johnson, a 'Nam veteran who was assigned to investigate a Mansion which seemed to be the
Base of Operations of a group of Neo-Nazis. You travel to the Mansion unarmed since the mission is only recon.

Deltayo seems to be the final entry unless any post approvals pop up before this post.
