1) The map should be mapped in 30 minutes or less.
2) You may only use what you make during the 30 minutes! So you cannot use prefebs or other things made the day before...
3) If you do use a prefab that was made in the 30 minutes, you may not use other peoples work.
4) Compile time isnt included in the 30 minutes.
5) No changes to your map maybe maid after or before the timer starts or ends.
6) Custom textures/models/sounds/animations are ok...
7) Map scripting will not count toward the 30 minutes
8) Map can be sp/mp/dm/obj
9) Map must also be compatible with Moh:AA

There is probably no way in hell I, or the other judges would know the map would be in 30 minutes. But I believe we are all honest here, or most likley we could tell by the map detail. You wont have a lot of time to do the detailing...
BTW no need to say "I'll join"

just make your map and post it.

hey Yarik here's a better idea...

same 30 mins, with most of the rules, but,

we start at a certain time, like from now to 4:00 my time. (it's 3:30 here) then we just email the judges the map.

reason i say this is because not everyone is going to want to sign up to some site just for this, those cost money. i know i'm not willing to pay that, so screenie isn't required, and map can be emailed to save forum space as well...

an idea....

One problem I see, 30 mins? It should be more like an hour. In that time most people will only be able to get a small simple building done and the quality won't be that great.

oh, and i know how to tell what times a map was made.....

properties.... doh!!!

Ok, the map can be emailed to the judges...
Screens is now a suggestion. You can use..
uploadit.org it is free, for images.
Change time from 30 minutes to 1 hour? Nah, that is the whole point of speed mapping...
Lizard and Blue, want to be the judges? If so just say yes and you are in.

You know what I think I might be a judge, a sudden change of heart. This might be kinda interesting to see what people can whip up in a short of time....

So I guess I'm in.

lizardkid · Post by **lizardkid** » Mon May 17, 2004 9:51 pm

well Yarik, i'll join, but i don't know if i'll have time to judge, gotta go possibly at 5:00 my time or before.... definately at 7:15. (it's 3:50 my time now)

so is it alright if i join as an entreant?

Yarik · Post by **Yarik** » Mon May 17, 2004 9:57 pm

Like I said above, no need to announce you are joining. Just post your image and email the map to the judges.... that is all.

lizardkid · Post by **lizardkid** » Mon May 17, 2004 9:59 pm

I'd say have the .map done in 30 mins, compiling doesn't count.
