It is 1 map just a different version. :EDIT: #7 Your map must have all the needed files, be complete and in working order. fun_yourmap will NOT be allowed to be fixed and changed to fun_map_b2. So make sure your map is in working order BEFORE you submitt it!
With this contest ending the same day as the 2.0 release, I have moved up the ending date. This contest will now end on 07/24/03. The winning mapper will have until 07/30/03 to utilize his 24 hour map cycle. With a release date now set for 2.0 we would like to get this wrapped up before then.
I quess some mappers found out it wasnt so easy to make a FUN map after all.

Should be done sometime this weekend. Saying this because the more I walk through it... the more ideas I want to add!

thank god I just found one rare bug in ns_tdm_one and to exploit this you need to do something in 0.72 seconds before you die. I fixed this bug and I am working on Themes for the arenas.
ns_tdm_scify (fun_tdm_scify) will have 5 Arenas: Borg, Matrix, Stargate, Babylon5 and Aliens. (or if aliens is too obvious ill take Farscape) with unique Textures, shape and ambient sound.
I may update it down the road (if the map is liked at all), and while it's not much to look at... it should be fairly unique. It is a zip containing the bsp, and an empty .res file (decided to not include extra sounds or minimap out of lazyness... it will have that stuff if I make a second version).
I recommend people move around this map in groups, because I made the damn thing and I get lost in it! (if you are stuck in one place... just jump around a bit... hehehe) Umm... I have no screenshots but like I say... there really isn't much to look at. (I only used two textures mostly... heh...)
And unfortunately, I'll be away from the computer for the week so I won't be able to check in on how it's doing until next friday night or so.
Enjoy! (PS, if someone could let me know if the link and zip works and all that jazz tonight that'd be great!)
(PSS, you'll have to unzip it straight to your ns/map folder...)
Well let us first consider what makes a fun map, and what makes a serious map. A fun map generally has all of the alien hives together, a lot of resource nozzles that are close to both starts, and open areas. It is easy to tech up. Some have little gimmicks to them, like ns_siege with the door and the siege room. or pillbox with the little boxes or whatever. Serious maps have resources spread out, hives spread out, and it is meant to be difficult to tech up, given your opponent isnt a new born playing from his\her crib.
Open areas are bad, as it promotes turret\mine\chamber spamming. Small rooms equals less space to build in. Conversly, small rooms promote CC spamming to block them off. Just some thoughts and insight i felt i should share with you.
I think a "fun map" is more of a "feel" thing myself. Although not the place for a discussion on this (as opinions are like ... yeah...) well... Imagine for a second if you took the mario world textures and slapped them all over eclipse? Would you take it serious? Even if the gameplay is the same? That's my personal definition. And IMO, that's why some people don't like some "fun" maps. They want to "be" Ripley, not Mario! <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
Eclipse with Mario textures would be awesome <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
fun_elimination already won the prize for the most original funmap name. surprisingly its a a ballanced map for the first 5 minutes. If aliens didnt won till than its a boring map.
and that fun_elimination map was created in 1 day and durring that day i catually ran my first ns map taht i made, before it didnt really run becasue of mistakes and stuff not there or something like that'
but really is it really on your server?
i dont ahve cheating death but if it is on your server i may download it adn play my map on your server..... maybe...

Great idea for a contest either way IMO.
I fixed this bug and I am working on Themes for the arenas.
ns_tdm_scify (fun_tdm_scify) will have 5 Arenas: Borg, Matrix, Stargate, Babylon5 and Aliens. (or if aliens is too obvious ill take Farscape) with unique Textures, shape and ambient sound.
I'll keep it secret, but hopefully it'll at least be a serious attempt at a 'fun' map.
ehehe
ahaha
urgh....
