Heavy-duty Super-mapping Super-contest was a follow-up contest to Summer Mapping Initiative. The contest began in July 18th and ended on August 5th 23:59 EDT. This mapping-contest was aimed to promote and reward great puzzle designs and advanced map-making techniques[1].
Rules
Submission
- Maps must be authored with Hammer Editor. You are free to use the Puzzle Maker as a tool for prototyping your ideas, but maps must be designed and built in Hammer Editor.
- Maps should be made within the timespan of the competition; previously authored content is not permitted.
- You are not allowed to re-create any existing maps, regardless of the original author.
- Your submitted map should only consist of one single map file (one .bsp); multi-map submissions are not allowed.
- Maps must be submitted before 23:59 EDT on the last day of contest - August 5, 2012
- Entries may not be modified after the above deadline, for any reason.
- All maps must be submitted to the Download Database, in the “Contest” category.
- You can only submit one map per game-mode (Single Player or Cooperative). While you may enter twice into both categories, we encourage focusing your attention on a single entry - thereby ensuring its quality.
Map
- Fulbright maps (maps without lighting) are not allowed.
- Playground maps and/or maps with no objective are not allowed.
- The map .bsp size cannot exceed over the limit of 100MB unarchived.
- Maps must be completed without using engine glitches of any kind. (This includes, but is not limited to: reportal glitch, bunny hopping, funnel crouching etc.)
- Maps must contain an entry and exit elevator or a well defined entry and exit.
- Maps may contain custom assets as long as they are packed completely into the .bsp.
Results
There were a total of 36 maps entered in the competition and 19 judges from different Portal-related sites scored the maps on a scale from one to five. Three maps with the highest ratings were announced as the winners. Five maps were disqualified.[2]
