The terrain should be valid for Starcraft. This competition thing is way too lax. Actual maps should be posted and seen through Starcraft. The entire feel for the terrain is completely different there.
I agree, I already dislike mass sprite usage, but invalid sprites is just lame. You're basically photoshopping your image crapilly, I'm tired of submissions that are 20% terrain, 80% sprites/units.
If you dont like the submissions, why dont you submit something yourself?
None.
I've submitted 90%+ Terrain before, they always lose. You guys are always looking for effects and units and sprites ect.
None.
Likewise, mine are all viewable ingame
None.
same with everything i use. (i think)
None.
Christmas tree one was a fiasco of crash/instant removal

There's nothing wrong with sprites, units, or triggers, but sprites that crash the game or disappear on game start should be banned from this forum completely. This is a Starcraft terrain forum. The terrain must work in Starcraft. Starcraft... Terrain.. they are supposed to go together y'know?

Agreed. I dont know exaclty what sprites crash, but i think the basic ones i use dont.
All enteries can use sprite or triggers, but it must beable to play in starcraft without crashing. Next time ill make it a rule.
None.
When's the poll going up for this? I doubt we'll see more entries.
EDIT: Woops, didn't notice there was a date. Saturday it will be, then.
Ugh, I was planning on doing a last minute submission of an epic INDOOR REFRIGERATOR!!?!?!??!?! But I forgot about some campout I was going on..
None.
Just here for the activity... well not really

If it stinks, it's because it's a bathroom.
Key:
Far left: toilet + toilet paper dispenser
Bottom right: urinals
Upper right: sinks + dirty mirror
None.
That's a good strategy qpk. Make the pic so small we can't see anything in detail so that it just seems like it looks good
None.
Lol, what can I say? That's a screen shot taken in game at the native resolution
None.
Take a screenshot in the editor then - the toilet is too dark, so I can't fully appreciate it. Also the bottom-right part doesen't look like urinals, because of the unnatural angle and the way they protrude. I suggest either removing them or placing them on one of the top walls.
Using traps to imitate a toilet cabine is definately a good idea. I also liked the sinks - excellent use of the sprite that consists of three segments.
Did I mention that your work on the 5th Station was an inspiration for my installation terrain?
None.

I'm sure the fog is part of it
Here's mine; I swear it is detailed and amazing.
This is my back-up one if the other doesn't win. Sure it crashes in game, uses illegal sprites and isn't even indoors, but it's a work of art.
And here's my 2nd back-up map, just in-case the other two don't win you over; this one is perhaps my best work, and only took me 15 minutes to map. It also crashes in-game though since it uses sprites that don't work in SC; but hey, just as valid as any other map that uses illegal sprites so I'm sure it'll be fine.
None.
