Contributor Contest

[Naryar]

I am quite certain I can release the next Nar ai.

[cephalopod]

RIP3 + RIPAI + PokAImon updates incoming. Hopefully. But I'm not all that worried about points.

[Naryar]

lul i hope i don't procrastinate again

[G.K.]

No way will I have time to do anything, which is a shame.

[Philippa]

I'd like to enter but my modding skills are limited to basic skinning, and my AI ability doesn't yet exist.

[Trovaner]

There are multiple levels for projects so that people don't have to know how to mod to do well. Things like getting friends to come online, make new bots, and creating images with 5 or more bots are completely do-able projects for people that don't have modding skills. In fact, level three projects are under valued by my point system (the time/point ratio is much higher).

Wish I had waited to make my 5+ video tutorials until now! :P

6 more days until the anniversary. Even though I can't participate in this contest, I have quite a bit planned for the occasion.

[Venko]

Aside from returning to GTM  , I'm also contributing :

1. Venko's texture pack

2. Venko's graphical and bot build enhancement tool
http://www.2shared.com/file/Lc9W5l-9/Venkos_graphical_and_bot_build.html

Feel free to add the above 2 in the GTM download section.

3.

yo  venko, if youre reading this i plan on releasing all the other pics  vids and whatnot you sent to me on the 18th, being ra2's 10th  anniversary and all.

Mr. AwesumSauce is agreed the points from the 3 huge rars (3D Studio MAX 5; old pics and clips that some of them may be lost; old zips that some of them may be lost) to go on my account. He will post the links when they are ready.

4. I'm planning to showcase some very new (builded these days) stock cool bots in my showcase soon.

So, Trovy, how much points I get for all this?

[Trovaner]

Unfortunately, I can't accept your entry for the following reasons:
1. Points are only awarded if you release them on the 18th (+/- 24 hours to account for time zones). I would have made an exception if it was just this but there is more...
2. The project must fall into one of the three project levels. Reskins and textures weren't included because they were too easy and couldn't be fairly regulated by special rules (same reason that wiki edits weren't included).
3. You have to make the thing that you submit. The chassis_structure2.gib was modded by me when I created the VGuide (unless you made some other significant modification in the GIB file, I can't count it as something that you modded).

You can still score points for the unshowcased bots but you need to post it when we get closer to the anniversary. I'm sorry that I can't accept anything else but I'm trying to be fair to everyone (especially, non-modders).

Edit: I appreciate the fact that you want to participate and the fact that you bothered to put all this together but I'm not sure what I can do about it.

[MassimoV]

For the 5 bot limit, is that stock and DSL combined?

[Trovaner]

Yes, you are limited to 5 bots (regardless of components) for the low-level projects but you can still make an image/video of 8 or more bots after that.

Also, if people are unsure if their entries will be valid, ask yourself if it would be fair to others. For example, I won't accept an image of 8 random chassis that don't have any components. The purpose of having the prize is to encourage participation and further the stated goal; not to see how many loopholes can be found.

[Venko]

So, basically number

1. No points for texture packs.

2. It's not completely made by me. This bring the question, what if I made those rar without including your "Bot Height Ruler" (don't be mad, I gave a credit to you)... but anyway, I will not get your "action cam" obviously.

3. What about this rars? You didn't comment them.

4. I will post the bots on 18th then.

But can You at least include #1 and #2 in the download section? I'm releasing them officially and for sure, even if I don't get points for them. You MUST TRY the #2 tho, it's really useful, I use it and it help me a lot in the building.

[Trovaner]

Alright, I added your stuff to the downloads section. For future reference, users can upload to this section without me (its no biggie for me to do it for you but I would prefer that people do it themselves).

I only did a quick once over for the files in the rar files. As such, I missed the tutorials that you put in a separate folder. However, unless I'm mistaken, they aren't new tutorials and they can already be found on GTM.

[Noodle]

Well I got railroaded with a sh**load of school, work, and car sh** this past week.

I don't think I'm gonna be able to submit anything.

[Mr. AS]

so, i finished all the stuff i wanted for the anniversary

I did day of all the bots in my showcase
https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,6848.msg574275.html#msg574275
(admittedly, i wanted to post more bots for that, but i was busy with uploading day 1 of the week of archives), +5 (5 maximum for showcasing)

also, i did a display tourney (that counts right?)
https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,13120.msg574235.html#msg574235
it had 26 bots in it... which is 3 mid level points if i am not mistaken, +6

11 points for me :)

[MassimoV]

I got my showcase (5), my tutorial (2), and my 32 bot display tournament (8). So 15 points for me.

With the forum problems everyone (including myself) is having, I think we should continue to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the game for a whole week(ending 25/2/13) or month(ending 18/3/13). I don't think people like Inf should be left out just because they can't log in or post.
