[owc_acropolis] Acropolis

Reaper's Photo Reaper 09 Dec 2010

My map Acropolis has been left abandoned, because of the start of the school year. Recently, however, I started to work on the concept and design of the overall level. I have it all down on paper and all that's left is the level. Here are a few screenshots of the last part of the mission. I decided that the last area of my level is below the main citadel core.

Anyway, if you were ever in on the developer discussion in IRC, you might probably know that the elevator part where the players have to battle a gunship was stupid...

It didn't work and so I created more interesting areas. The pictures you see are only small bits of the lower core. They are the functioning parts of it anyway. Also, the skybox is just temporary for those of you that are smart a**es.

In a few parts you will have to destoy combine ball generators to get through levels. I'm giving this level as much of a combine feel as possible. After studying the citadel levels and concepts, I think I have it down.

There's the map! I hope it works for you as well as it does for me!

Hey Reaper,

As much as I appreciate the effort, it may be a bit too late to enter the contest. The submission window is already open and the deadline is only 3 days away. I don't believe it'd be fair to other participants that have been posting frequent updates over the past few weeks, but ultimately, it's up to them.

I'll wait to see what they have to say.

I think he must have meant to post it to the WIP section. He doesn't even mention the contest.

Also, if you want to have more than about 7 images, you'd better find some other image hosting site. I learned this the hard way.

Also also, don't worry about the skybox. Most people get a very rough overview of the entire map before adding details like that.

So fellas,

Do you guys have any objections to Reaper joining the contest this late?

Well he hasn't exactly fulfilled the requirements for entering the contest yet. If he were to post a substantial number of images, and i mean media-bomb the f*ck out of us, we could allow it. A video wouldn't hurt his chances either.

I don't want to seem like the bad guy, and it's not because I feel threatened in any way (there's only 3 images, how could I!), but everyone else has followed the rules laid out seven weeks ago. It's only fair that he should provide the media as well.

Use the 'Image' tool so the images actually show up. Not the 'Link' tool.

It looks quite nice, i'm planning on making a Citadel map myself when I get better with the blocking tool.

I'll try it out when I play OW later.

Well no.. Your images have the format "http://img41.imageshack.us/i/acropolismainbackup31ow.jpg/"

*.jpg/ isn't a valid image extension.

If you grab the direct link to the image from Imageshack, you'll get "http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/8516/acropolismainbackup31ow.jpg" which would be valid:

A little late to the party I realize, but while part of me says "the rules should be followed as much as possible", a larger part of me says the more competition the merrier. Basically I don't have a problem with him entering.

I just realized that the reason I probably will get diqualified from the competition is for a f***ing e-mail service not working last night! I checked it out at school and it wasn't in my sent section, but my "other section" and I nearly screamed!

FML

I re-sent the e-mail about half an hour ago begging for forgiveness if it didn't send in the first place. I'm on the verge of crying right now because of the rush I've been in to get this done... all to be halted be e-mail!

I doubt they will be quick to disqualify people with this few contestants.
