Func_Msgboard: Soul Of Evil: Indian Summer

Posted by Tronyn on 2005/07/15 04:42:38

So I was actually mapping the other day, trying to deal with my sprawling, incoherent maps and projects, and I thought, what I'd really like to do is something smaller and quicker. Which caused me to think up my *very own* rip-off of The Lost Chapters! The idea is very similar: a contest to create smaller maps, with some common custom content (in this case Soul of Evil's), and a common theme, playable in any order.

Here are the rules:

1) Single player must be supported: skill levels, cooperative, and deathmatch are not required.

2) With the exception of a sky texture, all textures must be from the Soul of Evil textures . Soe_devkit.zip contains 3 wads, available on the downloads page at http://www.planetquake.com/tronyn/soul

3) The level must contain no more than 1500 brushes

4) The level must contain at least one "forested" outdoor area. Whether this effect is achieved through brushwork or the use of misc_tree or whatever else is up to the mapper.

5) At least one type of custom monster must be present (see soe_devkit.zip for a list).

6) The map's title must come from the works of J.R.R. Tolkien

Announced July 15, maps must be submitted by email to me (netgames@netdp.com) by September 10. Release date is September 15.

Sounds Like A Good Idea

Presumably it has to involve bastard hard monsters and falling in lava and a sorry lack of excessive secrets?? :P.

Actually, I just realised I never got round to playing SOE....oooops....'pon the dl w3rd.
