The JJ2WC CTF contest!
 

Jazz Jackrabbit 2 World Championship's Capture The Flag contest!

Lately there is a lack of 3on3 CTF maps. Most of the old maps are simply too unbalanced, outdated or overplayed. The JJ2WC crew is glad to annouce a new CTF contest!

Prize: The best map(s) will join JJ2WC II's mappool. However, the prizes might be changed according to the quality and the quantity of the entries.

First of all, these are the conditions:

• The only allowed version is 1.23. (TSF is not accepted)
• Your entry must be perfectly balanced.
• Your entry is supposed to be big enough for 3on3's.
• Your entry cannot be uploaded to J2O before the deadline.

Deadline: February 19th 2005, 18:00 GMT.

The entries must be sent to reptilemt@gmail.com. You can also send your entry through MSN Messenger or ICQ (154119511).

Hey, that's great! I will go back to my old style and make a symmetrical level. Got only one question though. What do you call 'big enough for 3on3's'? Thanks.

Does it have to be a new level? 8D

As long as it was made in the last months and it wasn't uploaded to J2O.

Awesome idea R3ptile. I'll get on it.

Interesting idea :p

Good idea indeed =D
R3ptile seems to be taking this tourny seriously.
Hopefully it will be even better than season1 =D

in 8D

Also in. 8D

I think I'll enter this as well. I actualy started on a new level yesterday (gaspgaspgasp), so I might as well submit it to this.

Ok, in also, but as I'm very busy nowadays I think I can begin the earliest at 10th January and can barely work on the level each day. There has been a few contests already which I promised to take part into and I passed through the deadline in both of them already. So, I'll try to have some interest to finish the level this time anyways. First prize sounds good and there's 2nd and 3rd prizes as well.

Dunno yet about 3rd prize but as you mentioned already, R3ptile, the 2nd prize could be that the level became an early ab7ctf1.j2l.

With all those ppl entering it will be hard for me to get a prize in this contest. But, I'll do my best!

btw uhm someone asked how big, bigger than sbv2.
Ohh and guys, may your goal really be a stable level. Cuz remember what we want in this competition is not exactly god knows how much of a posh level, all we want is a fair 3v3 level.
Symetrical levels are almost the best for the job most of the time. Cuz even small differences can really lead to drastic score differences on such a close call tournament. A few examples: semi blue, zaitox blue etc.

Anyway seeing that cell fs sj and the rest have joined, we should get 1 or 2 hughly competitive levels.

EDIT:
BTW twas my idea:)

I see. We should get a good and balanced CTF level with this contest. To declare something, I really think Semi is too small for 3v3(ever checked in JCS?) but good enough for 2v2.
I think 153 x 64 is big enough(or something like that)? A XLM level in the mappool would be great.

Yes, the new level im making is so in 8D And i hope i win... :( Help me GOD!


When the hell is the level due? :lol:

yippee.

yippee.

NO really, when is the level due? 8((

Seems fine to me. I'm not sure about what tileset I would use, but I'll edit this post and tell what tileset I am using.
EDIT: I decided that I am gonna use Space or Space Warbase.

I am in =)

Shouldn't this get stickied?

uhm cell, that level of yours, not another ctf, or sumthing like that, would own, just amake it bigger for X tiles in every direction!!!!

Make this sticky instead of the "Original level contest" which is already over.

That contest is over, but I still can't know who the winner of it is. WR is lazy...
But that's just the judge topic. The topic with the instructions etc. is the sticky thread.

The deadline is changed to from February 1st to January 29th.

Perhaps one of the first times I see a deadline moving backwards. Why? Got enough entries already?

Probably because I think R3p gives us enough time. Or wait... I have to hurry as well!!!111

Wel;l, at least I'm finished with my level 8D

Maybe I cant start a new level and make a fine map.

ps. Chippie I will try to make it better then yours so watch yourself. ;)

If only i had skills in CTF levelmaking...

I AM working on a CTF level, dunno if it will be for this contest or not...

This contest will make people create more good levels. I won't be in because I'm lazy and I can't make CTF levels balanced, my levels are often too squared-off and I have competition from XLM and OLC :O

The contest is almost over. Hurry up and send me your entries!

How many entriess do you have yet?
By the way, Ill send mine today/tomorrow. If not, you can use the version I sent you earlier.

There is only one offical entry so far. Seems like I'm going to change the deadline.

You will get my entry soon. I need to fix some stuff in it, like you suggested. Is the only official entry Chip's level?

Postponed to February 19th 2005.

That's.... pretty bad for me. Now I have to wait much longer before I can upload my level =(. And I worked much at my level just because I thought I had to hurry up. Oh well.

Bah, that deadline movement sucked. As DS said, now I have to wait much longer before uploading my Quatro Stagioni pack and I really looked forward to the presentation of the results tomorrow. :(

At least there are going to be more entries.

I have one serious thing to say.
My old contest level seemed to be too bad, so I am going to make a new level. The tileset I'm using is one of the hardest. It's Chateau!!!!11
This level is 115 x 60, which is the same size as Distopia, and symmetrical.
Is it too small? You said every size is fine, as long as it's not TOO small.
