I kind of want to give this a go, despite my limited time.  Need approval on my forum registration, though, if it's not already too late.

You've been approved :)
As of now we have 25 mappers signed up, so this is probably the biggest and most exciting Mapping Contest in Quake 2 history.

If anyone else here wants to change their mind you're still welcome to join, i.e. -MrVarron-, omni, gonass, BASEBALLDUDE, but please do it now, because we'd like to lock the thread.

No thanks. Unfortunately I have been busier with other stuff than expected, so I cannot participate.

The hold up?  I'm not really a mapper.  I've dabbled slightly in making maps, but never completed anything.  I can't speak for others, but coming in here with an arrogant attitude and then insulting the community and specific members wouldn't make me want to sign up whether they were jokes or not.

Might want to change your approach next time to a more friendly one.

Hey gonass,

Relax, if that's really how you feel and interpreted my intentions you got to excuse me. Was just trying to motivate you to join, but sort of failed anyway, so don't take it the wrong way. To me Paintball is a competitive sport, and I don't cry when I get hit, instead I just try harder. It's all fun and games, and maybe a little edgy, but still in good spirit. With digital one I guess this isn't as clear. As you say you wouldn't have joined either way. I know it takes guts to make a map, especially when you're starting out. I would have given you more props for trying, because sometimes the journey can be just as rewarding as finishing. If it's fun enough you might even finish something naturally. I have deep respect for all those developing their creative talents, especially mappers and those willing to accept a good challenge no matter the odds on a short notice.

Cheers,

How is unintentionally pissing off Clipz a problem? I mean that's nothing new. Anyway I'll stay tuned for the results of this contest.

He didn't piss me off, I just don't think he knew how long I was around. I just didn't think that him thinking I'm a idiot and didn't know where the game originated from was necessary. I'm not attempting to start an argument with the guy.

For reference:

I have my bsp install at: C:\bsp
I have my quake2 install at C:\Quake2
My runmap.bat is:

copy %1.bsp C:\Quake2\baseq2\maps
c:
cd \Quake2
pause
QUAKE2 +map %1

The layout of that means:
1. copy the bsp file to the quake2\baseq2\maps folders
2. go to C
3. move to the Quake2 folder
4. pause
5. Start quake2 with the map you are editing.

Just change the directory parts to whatever you need from there. Post your directories and runmap and I can edit it for you if you want.

Alright thanks. Had to rename files because I was using the free version.
