1st place - Cloud Flash (10+8+9+8+9.5=44.5 points)

Good job, everyone! I truly hope you enjoy such kind of activities. Mapping is like art, everyone has their own style and either do well or bad it. However, the most important thing about mapping is to have fun from it.

Congratulations to the winner, Cloud Flash! His map was truly one of a kind, even though TheMisterCat almost caught up with him in the final scores. Well done, this throphy now belongs to you, Cloud Flash...


Do not flush it in your toilet by mistake.

I will make a compilation of 'almost' all maps (some of them required ZDoom to play) later guys. If you got any ideas for the future contests, feel free to tell me either here or on IRC.

8th again... Oh well. Congrats, Cloud_Flash!

/me places a Golden Turd on his bookshelf

Argentum's map is only 11th place; Really?

Well he provided the points so it seems 2 judges found it half-shitty.
If anything I wonder why Jwaffe's torture map has a 4..

Heh, I'm kind of curious too

But jwaffes map isnt even as long as argentums or combinebobs. This is dumb.

I mean, the map IS dumb, but its not really shitty, it doesn't frustrate me or make me laugh. All you had to do was sr50 across a bridge and you won the level. That's not really awful enough to warrant something as prestigious as 5th place.

cata that's a fake exit (one of several), you need to rocket jump more than once to exit the level, the real exit is completely unmarked and hidden.

Contest is shittiest map regardless of length. I think if a map makes you laugh it failed to be shitty.

if my map ends up in a pack, be sure to patch in the coopfix i posted, or it will crash at the end in multiplayer with current zandro versions.

20th place, eh? Not bad in my book. Not bad at all for a first try.

Notes : I mighta removed some of the mp3s to lower the file's weight. Map02 and Map19 work only in (G)ZDoom. Map02 crashes Zandronum while Map19 simply does not work.
You can check out these maps by using the Changemap/Map commands from the console while using the other ports. Have fun! (not)

I'm proud of you. Good job.

I have to say, I'm somewhat off-put by the judging this time.

In comparison to SMC2 (when was SMC1 and SMC3, by the way?), the judging was highly variable - I found MAP11 to be the worst of the bunch (not to say the others were good; it was just the worst), both in looking like a terrible zandronum accident and general-argh-why-the-hell in gameplay (shrek'd?), MAP22, while definitely very very very weird, I actually thought it was pretty cool as a weird abstract sort of map (albeit it would be nice to find the music; like 2/3rds of CloudFlash's music is missing), and the map order seemed pretty random this time (though the first few maps were noticeably better).

Remember the Alamo should've honestly won; or at least been really close to winning. MAP22, in comparison, didn't seem nearly as bad.

Also, I feel THE COLOSSAL CASTLE OF KING TUTMENSTEIN should've been higher; but that's a bias because I haven't played MAP19 yet (due to it crashing zandronum).

Also, how the hell do you finish MAP11 (ARGENTVM) and MAP22 (CloudFlash)? I can't find an exit.

You just have to wander aimlessly for about 10 minutes. After that, the wall in the spawn room will lower, revealing a small platform. Once you jump on the platform, the level ends and you have to burst in tears over the sounds of very sad violin (taken from a youtube video named 'very sad violin'. True story)
Also on a side note, the messages in map22 can be deciphered... but only if you have a cell phone.[/size]

Check your automap for random exit linedefs (usually red). Hit any of those to exit.

That's yet another point for argentvm - Unlike cloudflash; who's map only requires patience to beat; argentvm pretty much literally requires opening the map up in doom builder to find the linedefs that would take you to the right place. How did he only get 12th place again?

Also, another point for argentvm is the music. oh my god, the music.
