I don't like ps5ctf as much as the others. I began to work on a restructuring once, but discarded that project. I may end up editing it someday...

This message is for Psythe:

I don't know if you are still doing maps or not but this will be of interest for you.


Are any of you guys Q3 map makers, or aspiring to be one? If I put some cash/prizes up would anyone be interesting in having a map contest?

Free distribution with NoGhost mod. Free publicity!

Rules:
If anyone wants to start now, I'm thinking:
-the map should be able to hold at least 8 players (suitable for 4v4 TDM/CTF or 8 players FFA). tournament (1v1) maps are acceptable as well (but will be held to the same quality levels as more complex TDM/CTF maps)
-doesn't necessarily have to support a specific gametype or mod, but you are welcome to specify one
-a majority of the map should be indoors, meaning: please no space maps
-the contest will be over 4-6 weeks after it starts
-sponsors permitting, special prizes will be given out at the 2-4 week mark to the map with the best layout so far
-map must be playable on Q3 1.16n. don't worry though, most maps in 1.32 are compatible with 1.16n so don't let this affect you.
-map must contain sponsor images. gotta show some thanks, right?
-map must be previously unreleased or a new design. please no map remakes or edits.

Judging:
-will be done by a panel of very experienced players who are familiar with that map's chosen audience (ie: CPM map is judged by CPM players, CTF map is judged by CTF players, etc)
-judged on gameplay/design, overall looks, creativity, and layout
