"(File)Size Matters" 64K Compo (Judging not underway)

[ibm5155]

If a mod passed the 64KB, make that guy out of competition.

And I think there should be a vote system for the maps, and my idea was like, 60% of the map score is given by the map itself (creativity, execution,...) and the last 40% are going to be given by a vote system (where one person could vote in more than one mod).

Well, yeah, I figured that'd be obvious.

Remember that not everything submitted is a map, or even necessarily playable as a game (especially Dancso's compressor tool, assuming he intended to submit that as an entry!).

Sidestepping the drama for a bit, I have a mutator idea of sorts and figured I'd check out a quick reference to see if it's doable, and lo and behold: Parkour's pk3 is a mere 22kb. Something similar may have to be done.

OMG PLEASE REMAKE PARKOUR! its my favorite doom mod of all time! too bad its broken now

missing sprites for the shotties is the main one, but some gui stuff and other weapons are affected. not surprising since the mod is like 6 years old

edit:

new version of gzdoom fixed the errors magically! playing fevorishly now.

Haha no, surely a modding tool doesn't qualify as an entry?
It would be hard to judge anyway, given how utterly simple it is.

I do intend to post an actual entry eventually, though so far I've been short on both free time and decent ideas.

Just a small progress update on my so far unnamed bomberguy mod

Man, TEXTURES is kinda fiddly but it's super fun.

Heh, alright, fair enough, I'll look forward to whatever you have to offer!

Heheh...you've been reading my Project Ideas posts, haven't you? =P

Did you have an idea similar to this? I'd be lying if I said I wasn't inspired by your style mod though.

I named the little laser pistol after you

Would it be okay if I update my Megabounce project and then submit it here?

Yeah, no problem.

[wildweasel]

My apologies for the double-post, but I'd like to ask a favor from all entrants so far:

Could you please mention which version of ZDoom/GZDoom you are using with your submission? I have already seen files that require the dev builds, and files that were designed for the stable version that break or run badly on the dev builds, so I'd just like to have some kind of advance information about what I'm going to need, so I don't have to cycle between four different versions of the port.

[daimon]

I used the gzdoom version 1.8.10 for making and testing my map...

[lizardcommando]

I think it should already have that information in the textfile that comes with my mod, but in case it doesn't:

This mod uses ZDoom 2.8.0.0 and above.

[YukiHerz]

Mine ran with the dev builds, but i was thinking of brainstorming a new submission instead.

I think the competition should be only for stuff that can be played (mods), not tools.
But it could have two categories, one for tools and other for mods

I say anything goes.
