ALL PRAISE YOUR SUPREME LORD CORBO



Summer Modding Contest III - 2008
It's back! The third and annual series of the popular modding contest returns this season less expected than ever.


FAQs
Why is it posted right now? it's not even summer...
I don't care, the first SMC was hosted on plain winter, november or so

Is it modding only?
No, feel free to submit special maps so your mod can be played more.
SCMloaded maps are acceptable however if you just throw me an UMS map your points might be deducted :P
.trgs are a yes.

Are you going to be judge again and as harsh as the last time?
Yes, and even more harsh than ever :evil: and no, I don't want you to help me judge I want you to make me a mod and participate in the contest.

What's the purpose of this?
The original SMC theme was to revive modding from her ice era. Last years was.. people asking for contest :P and this year is for the modding revolution!

How do I join?
By posting here or PMing me that you wish to join. Note that if you join and don't finish your mod I won't do anything for you. But when your children ask you why don't you ever finish stuff you'll feel pretty bad about it so you must start finishing stuff.

Okay, are there any guidelines?
Sure, I don't really like rules or anything but order so I will just throw them in the rest of the post.



Rules:

Mods must be submitted before the deadline which is june 6th.
You must say in advance that you are going to participate, if you quit you will have to let me know. But I strongly recommend you not to enrage me by quitting.
You must not submit an already made mod, neither a mod that It's already in progress. It must be something I don't know it exists.
Team work is encouraged, however, if you're going to make a team project I don't recommend more than 2 persons
No Entry Fees, please don't send me money even if you know my adress :P
You may submit updates, as in post a topic and show us your work and buy the judge and the people. Also read below.
Contradicting above you should not make you mod public, what if somebody steals your ideas? But if you want to take the risk go for it!



Judging Criteria
Quote

Complexity
Was your mod easy to create? was It hard? It will be taken into consideration.
This will be worth: 15 Points

Content
What exactly did you do? Did you just edit a few units? Was It a TC? If you just modded a zergling you will be judged with that zergling. oh.. just imagine...
This will be worth: 20 Points

Glitchness
How well does your mod run? Does it have Glitches?
This will be worth: 10 points


Originality
Is your mod a copy of another mod? This will be highly evaluated.
This will be worth: 30 points

Fun & Balance
Is Your mod fun? boring? another important thing highly evaluated. Note that balance is an important part of fun.
This will be worth: 15 points

Custom
This is something new. In here it will be considered if you just modded in game content or if you stopped and took some time to edit bins menus, other graphical stuff and so on. Basically all the things that no one never bothers modding like AI, Terrain...
This will be worth: 10 points

This all is worth 100 points as you can see. However this time I'll take into consideration whatever people think it's the best mod.
Note that this will be, of course, affected by preferences like "voyager's too awesome so I'll vote for him" which is why...

Judging Criteria Worth: 80 Percent
Popular Voting Worth: 20 Percent


Contestants:

FlyingHat & Owrtho & echo103 & Killer_Kow[MM] (Team)

What you win:

This was made on maplantis and I didn't take into consideration minerals but now that we have a currecy hell, we might as well do it for the money!
You can donate, the more you donate the more contestants will win. Be cool and donate!
First prize - 55% of the pot - 811 Minerals
Second prize - 25% of the pot - 368 Minerals
Third Prize - 15% of the pot - 221 Minerals
I reserve 5% (74 Minerals [lol so little]) for other random prizes, if they don't occur this five percent goes to second place.

The current pot size is: 1474 Minerals

I don't keep any money, after revealing winners and sending prizes I should probably have 0 minerals.
________
Feel strongly free to ask whatever you wish to know about the SMCIII in this topic
That is basically the same information as it is posted on Maplantis.
Feel free to drop by this topic take a careful reading and come back to post on sen or maplantis for more information.
Members that already signed up on other sites do not need to sign up again. lol.

I'm waiting for the "static copy of maplantis" to happen. If it doesn't within the next few hours I'll start doing the edits.
I'll be glad if everyone would post here and just say who they are, some usernames change and will also help me to have somewhere to link.



fuck you all

It's okay, I NEVER judge stuff for who makes it. I do for what it is.

Example: Kooster surprisingly became from "noone" to "omgthisguyisgood" in his SMCI entry.



fuck you all

Graphics are taken into consideration in the Originality class and Content.
Originality is the one that has most points so, yeah, I say it does matter.
Content is also pretty strong of a category.



fuck you all

If anyone wants to join me, of the things that are unreleased now includes a working location plugin (y'know that thing that everyone keeps hearing about but is like "where is this thing? I wants." Yeah. I have that. :P)

:D I also have 2 other conditions and 2 other actions than editing locations. If you want custom *.got triggers, I can add them. All I ask for in return is a partner. ^^


That is totally with triggers\melee.trg and my majickul plugin. ^^ (Ignore the capslock off... I was unaware that actually saved in screenshots.)

...After the SMC. xP (Every time I do this I am basically screwing myself as SMC is the greatest modding effort and would be most likely to have it be used.)
I may release it near the end... I am still adding triggers to it. :P
