HAMMER - Map-Making Contest, Prizes!

I'd very much appreciate it if you disabled shadowing. Since there has been a few maps released that already contradict shadowing, and a fair few maps are very much based on the concept of seeing through tunnels, I don't see why you wouldn't simply turn it off. For the mystery involved in some maps, perhaps, but I believe it just makes those maps look tacky. Plus the maps I had in mind for entering look horrid with shadowing. :p

plz plz plz no shadow

 

Please vote on whether or not to enable shadowing on the server for the purposes of judging maps. A link has been attached to the end of the updated first post.

Honestly, there are lanterns in premium and you can design accordingly with windows in your backwall for tunnels, but I'm not going to argue with folks if there's a huge amount of hate for shadowing. I prefer it on, myself.

 

Civilisation theme :

Persian City​

​

​

​

​

Here's my themed-map, as I always do I made two sizes (300x150 and 200x100) so you can use it on every server, shadowing shouldn't be enabled.

General theme :

Archipelago​

​

​

​

This is my general map, two sizes again, I don't care of shadowing on this one, on the first one water level is set on the 74th tile and on the second it's the 49th one, you can find orginal maps (without water level) and but you'll have to add water (command is : waterLevel(74/49); ). As you can see there is no premade stuff simply because I hate playing ctf on maps with premade things.


When judging take the biggest map.

 

Oooh, a fellow building-lover! ;)
These look really neat. :)

'Cause I'm such a fan of emotes, here's one to represent my opinion on lighting (I'm gonna vote too.);

 

Yeah on second thought I think lighting should be disabled. With it disabled all my maps won't look so.... teribad.

 

I'm working on 2 Theme maps, one will be chosen to be posted here, and I stand my ground for the keeping shadowing on on themed maps. Seeing as we are dealing with civilisations that existed, keeping the realistic side is fundamental to my eyes.
Thank you and hopefully, my next post will be one of the 2 themed maps.

 

Before you get started on that second theme map...
You can only enter 1 themed and 1 general :/

 

I know, but I'm testing with my friends to see which one is the best

 

Oh okay, just making sure you don't make a horrible mistake... like I did :(

Also, just posted my new map on my last post with the last map.
heh
Try saying that 5 times fast.
Oh that wasn't that hard I guess.

 

I literally hate that you're so correct.
I despise this.
But I facepalm because its pretty much common sense that went over my head.
I have some thinking to do.

 

Yayz! :)

 

well, just wait for the votes? writing in bold don't make your opinion true

 

This cockiness of yours just made me vote for shadowing enabled

 

4 more premium keys have been added to the prize pool, each of the main prizes will receive one. You can either use it for you or give it to someone else.

Also, the server's map rotation is updated.

 

We still have 20 days to post the maps right?

 

Yes, the timeline has not changed.

 

Okay thanks. Themed map coming soon and the General map will be edited where I posted it was well.

 

...I tried to click "infractions"... ._.
Anyway, to say something more on-topic; I may or may not start on my map today.
Well ain't that informative.
