With your submission you must also include correct contact information so we can get in touch with you.

6. Your entry must contain the source map file (VMF) to assist in judging AND to include the conclusion of your chapter for the start of the next. Except for the ending of the chapter, the source will not be released.

10. Your submission must be accompanied by source code files as proof of original works or other proofs must be submitted. We want to ensure that all submissions are yours.

Damn I just woke up, I can't even think about what a zip file is let alone package one in that time hehe, to the next stage then!

As of right now there is 11 hours and 30 minutes remaining.

Good luck to all who enter.

You entering Rasta? I like Blizzard, looks very very nice btw

If I can get my level tested and packaged then I'll enter but I've only been using Hammer since Saturday so it's not a lot.

Hopefully all entrants will receive criticism and judges thoughts as that way I can better learn to use Hammer if I do submit my map.

The deadline is passed but we're not done.

Listen to MODSonair tomorrow, this Sunday May 2nd. The show is on stickam at 12pm EST and will be reannounced in tomorrow's news.

Here is the tutorial on how to package your map into a VPK; this is a requirement for all MODSCON submissions.

I didn't have a link come for me there welshy, but if it doesn't work for others too here is a youtube video, although for L4D1 its pretty much the same

Oh yeah, whoops my bad. Here it is

I'm interested to see who won the first segment and what they have created. Hope their have been enough entries?
