Well, I guess I'll have to revive a dead map I was making. Since theres 2 weeks left ill have to make it just a 2 room DM/TDM map in 1 base. 2 weeks shoudlnt be a problem for that.

Foyleman,

in the 2 weeks that are left i still could make a nice quake4 SP-map, but first i want to know if this is a contest for only mp maps or can i sent in a SP map. because why bothering making it when i can't join the contest.
my other question is, you said;
"..no one is getting it(prizes) until we have some entries."
is there a amount of maps needed for you to start giving those prizes. i mean, should there only be 2 maps sent in, would that mean that the prizes go to those map makers, or should there be at least 100 maps sent in. i ask this because it seems that no one will join this contest, therefore there will only be a few maps to choose from.
not that i need a option on a prize before i start mapping, but i am working on other sp-maps and when the chance on a prize is very small due to no one joining the contest then i better can work on on my other projects (cod2/prey).

(edit;
forgot to say that i'm pretty sure that it's not the contest itself that no one joins it, but it has all to do with quake4 itself. i loved the game and am surpirced to see how little it is used by people to map/mod with. looking on internet there is even no one who has made one sp-map.)

last sp-project; 15 sp-maps HL2;

If I can get at least 3 submissions to this contest, then I think I can get another sponsored in December/January for HL2. I am concerned that I won't even get three. I only know of two people working on maps for submission. Since there are 3 prizes (1st, 2nd, 3rd), I don't know what Wiley (sponsor) will say when I tell them there weren't even enough entries to warrent all the prizes. They may back out.

I don't know if it true or not, but 3 submissions is not alot and at least I could tell Wiley that "here are the three winners".

Anyway, I am accepting either MP or SP maps. I just want submissions. lol.

That reminds me.. I need to install the new uploader on the MODSCON submission page.

I'll put a map forward too :)
Although again this will be sp, and since i only heard of the comp from your 2 week news post, it maybe a little shorter than the average custom sp ;)

I'll get a thread and some screens up a.s.a.p.
so thats 3 :)

great

i know what you mean Foyleman, i don't envy your position in this situation with Wiley. but like you said, when you have at least 3 you can always say, here are the 3 winners. but it would of course be better when you have at least 20 to 30 so it starts to get a real contest, (although for me as mapper that would be a lesser chance to win, although, it is even more of a task to get it right).
i have an idea for you to get more people to come up with maps for this contest. because, although you made over the months lots of advertisement for it, there will still be a whole lot of people that don't know about it, or forgot about it, (like i did). and they don't read there weekly mods on Friday mail. so, when i was you i should place at all the forums on modsonline a thread about this contest, (with the message that the chance to win is very high due to the low amount of maps that will be sent in). because i believe that there will be people on say the HL2 mapping forum, or the cod(UO,2) mapping forum that want to join, ones they know the contest is there. but this is just a suggestion, even when it would give 2 to 3 extra maps, then it is still wort the effort of placing the thread. and hey, it's your site, so you can do what you like, right!
about the Hl2 contest, i believe you always only want maps to join that aren't showed anywhere else, right?
that would be a shame, because i have made 19 sp-maps (together with Baltic) placed in one sp-mappack (4 sp-maps) and one sp-mod (15 sp-maps). but that would mean that they can't be used for this new to come contest.
by the way, we had contact about a year ago about this HL2 mod, and i would let you know when it was released. 3 months ago it is released and i mailed you about it, but you never did answer. i know you have a lot going on, so it could have slipped your mind.
sorry, for the long answer, i will add a new to make quake4 sp-map!!
