Hey SWBF mappers and modders:
MPCGamers.com is proud to announce its SWBF Mapping and Modding Winter 2009-2010 Competition!
The contest will be based off of a common theme. Maps and mods will be created around this theme. The users of the site will vote on their favorite map and map/mod combination. Entries will also be judged by the staff using a rubric, which will detail what gets you credit. User vote and this will combine to determine the winners in each category.
If you submit your entry in the single category, such as Map or Mod and you win, you will receive a Steam game that costs up to ten dollars. This is the only way we have of doing prizes without collecting personal information. If you are a Mac user, then we will have to work out something comparable, although I doubt there will be many as Windows is required to mod.
If you create both a map AND a mod which integrate, then you will be in a separate category and eligible for a Steam game under 20 dollars, which opens up a lot more possibilities. Again, if you are a Mac, we will have to work something out.
The rules of the contest are as follows:
- You are not allowed to work with anybody else, unless it is for munging purposes and the munger is not participating in the contest (like me)
- The map or mod must follow a Winter or Snow theme. Holiday themes are also acceptable. There are assets for these on Gametoast, if you need some.
- If you make a map and a mod, then they must be integrated. Making both will put you into a separate category.
- The map or mod must be an original creation. You are allowed to use assets from other modders, but you may not submit a map or part of a map you have already made.
- Maps and mods must be completed by January 31st, 2010. Voting will begin after that.
- You are not allowed to recruit support for your map or mod in the voting. If you do that, you will be disqualified from winning the prize.
- You must have a Steam account if you are a PC to receive the prize.
- All maps must be hosted in the MPCGamers Download Center in the specific Contest category. If the map or mod is over 64 mb, then it must be hosted on Filefront and the link must be posted in the download center.
- You must be a member of MPCGamers.com in order to participate in the contest.
Judges are myself, Hardcore, Droideka, and .invertus.
If you are interested in participating or have any questions, please post below! We look forward to seeing your entries. :)

*Predicts prize will be a free Steam game*
Good luck to all the participants!
well duh of course you predicted it. I said it in the first post. What does that sentence even mean?
I skimmed it so I missed that part XD
I like the way ag talks. Good idea Jedikiller. Good fortunes to everyone.
Is anybody other than me participating in this? :-/
I want to wish good fortunes to all. I will be letting others that know how to make maps about this cool contest. Hope you get some friendly frosty competition Wampa.
can i make a bet that BD will win...?
I will bet you that BD will not win. Dont worry I am going some where with this. What is up for grabs?
whoever loses gets called a troll for a week!!!
GO BD!! :cheer:
(oh and i meant my bet with mike, not bd vs mike.)
I will take the challenge you presented ghost. Read carefully the bet you placed, I have.
LOL! lets make a art antica and then the home of santa claus
whit all these lamps and stuff
and as mod it would be on 1 side santa claus and dwarf!
and on the other side there would be these terrorists xD
and have these presents to shoot at and when the health of those things is over they will be ammo or health...
Yes, glad to see you will make a fun map. Any time you see me in mpcgamers.com or in swbf1 server call me to test anything.
What makes a map the most fun is friends.
Is anybody actually participating in this?
/hint
If you make it a 60 dollar Steam prize, maybe people will actually go for it. *coughagcough*

I vote that this map (http://www.mpcgamers.com/smf/index.php?topic=1370.0) has a christmas feel to it. Walking past the naboo buildings (http://people.moreheadstate.edu/students/dcfiel01/images/christmas_market_6.jpg) you can't help but wonder what is going on inside (http://www.deplicque.net/links/recipe_images/christmas-scene.jpg) there. (http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/citydesk/files/2007/11/christmas.jpg) And there is the green christmas like feel ground texture I could see with my little pc which has onboard graphics.
OK, folks, own up- is anyone doing this? At all? Just a simple yes or no answer, please.
I am not entering the contest Jedikiller, but I do have a bet that I have all ready won.
Well I was working on a map, but I was waiting to see if anyone else as gonna participate, and nobody seemed to post any signs..
thats a real shame because it could have worked out fun! a lot of fun
Well maybe if you advertised it on clan websites it will get more active. (I put a notice that this was up on clans that are involved in modding so yeah)
Just recently or when it started?
Xshat made a map (http://www.mpcgamers.com/smf/index.php?topic=1370.0) I vote has a christmas feel to it.

I guess I'll enter, in honor of AaTc :D So it has to be a christmasy map. I'll get the assets and see what I can do.
*sigh* I guess I'll extend the deadline then. As long as there are a few people participating, then I'm happy.
Maps are due Feb 15th, 2010.
Well if you don't want me to... :confused: Where do I download the Snow/Christmas Assets? They aren't on swbffiles, mpc downloads, or gametoast :(
look in the released assets forum on Gametoast. I do want you to, but I don't want you to be the only one playing.
Oh ok, 8) Thanks JK!! But guys I think I am going to have to drop out...I know, I'm sorry but I don't think I'd be good enough to beat BD and I have to work on AaTc Underground, maybe another time.. :bye:
Breakdown is the only other person competing..Hc doesn't mod.
And I don't really feel like competing if there's only one other person in the competition...
And there isnt any other modder?, you should ask other modders like ggtuk, napseeker, KA-CHING and all those others maybe then some will join
well I don't think I could beat breakdown...atleast not while I'm busy :D
