I like Arctic theme, no matter what.

It may be because I can finally make custom props, but I really think that's just a small percentage.

arctic theme will probably be the christmas theme

With a mandatory Christmas tree somewhere off in the map.

I just realized, for what version of Syn will future contests be?


Oh, and I may not be able to participate in any until the new year :/ (makes me sad)
I found another contest and my friend and I are shooting for the first prize. (Not mapping contest, game making contest)

Once Synergy OB is officially released, this board will not be used for old Synergy versions anymore.
Nor can we help you with issues related to them.

Noo! My legs have been cut out from under me!


Ah, it'll probably make everything look nicer anyways XD

Everything does look nicer in OB. Just look at Alyx in HL2 versus Ep2. So much more detail and such.

Yeah, and you can download that one replacement model that takes advantage of the OB-exclusive jiggle bones!

NEXT MAPPING CONTEST WILL BE WINTER/ARCTIC/CHRISTMAS THEME. any or all. pretty open. will end dec 23 so start getting ideas now and get started. i think this one will be worth double points and after this one the highest point standing overall will win the prize.

Oooh! I have an incomplete map that I might be able to finish on top of all the coding.
Is that acceptable? I think only 2 people have played in the map, and 1 screenshot ever was put up on the old forums. Anyone remember what I'm talking about?

[Silikone]

I'm already working on a map, but i'll never finish it if I keep getting errors and crashes. Nickelrodent you remember it right?

[nickelrodent]

all unreleased maps are acceptable.

What about a map that's a story, but the players have to help the story move along: EG. The Three Little Pigs where the players have to build the houses, escape the wolf and then kill the wolf. Maybe a voiceover could make it more intresting, or just text display.

There's one going on here.

You know i play synergie alot... really ALOT , and if I see the infinite horde maps like combineonslaught and fast extinction I don't get why nobody is working on that I mean wouldn't it be great to just start a server let your friends connect with the console and play a survival map all night long.
I really think it's to bad that the infinite horde maps are so rare , maybe its a good contest thing.
I'm bad at hammer but I have really good idea's and I have pretty good picture how maps should look like:

- At the edge of the map (not the center !) but a little city with some houses and barricade stuff;
- Then in the center of the map I'd put an antlion hive;
- I'd put 2 infected city's (with zombies and maybe a building where survivors are) at the corners of the map;
- Then a very large combine base at the edge of the map across the player's city

Of course because it is an survival map, the enemy's keep coming aswell as supply's(or you use the console XD) so you have to exit the safe city to scavenge stuff

Then the last thing the map needs is nodes, lots and lots of npc nodes, I've seen maps where the npc's roam the map seeing this as a map with alot of enemy's a battle between all the half life members starting randomly on the map is (let's be honest) probaply one of the most coolest things on a map.

If you can make a map like that , if any of you can ... RESPECT man
