Millionth member modding competition

[exanimis]

I didn't see anything in the rules saying that we can not enter more than one mod. I say go for it.

[exanimis]

This is a bit disappointing! More than half of the allowed time is gone and still only two entries. The few threads that I have seen about the competition have faded away without any new updates. Is the competition still going on?

[Dark0ne]

Yup! You might find people are not releasing their entries yet so that people don't copy their ideas. Either that or my selection of winners is going to be made very, very easy :D

so when is that date of doom? i know that you said 50 days but cmon lol... when is that? i just made a nice reward for the quest so yeah its getting better... would be a pity to miss that date lol

I got kind of a late start on producing my mod for the competition. I don't plan to actually submit my mod until close to the deadline as it is growing pretty large and I would like some time to debug it. To this point, I wondered if there are any stipulations as to having other site members do some testing. Tentatively (with the assumption that this is okay), I'd like to see if anyone would be willing to test my mod. Preferably, I'd like someone (some people) who isn't/aren't in the competition or planning to enter and I would be keeping documentation of any files/emails/messages that are sent. If anyone is interested please send me a message.

Right.

Well my personal outlook on the competition is this:

 

If you're really that worried about someone stealing your ideas, then submit your mod early. That way if someone does use a similar idea, you can always argue that you posted it on the site first.

And by posting it early, that also gives your mod time to build up a notable reputation on the website.

 

Oh and another idea: instead of searching desperately for beta-testers, you could just post your mod whenever you think it's good enough, and then let everyone else tell you --when they inevitably comment on it-- what they think should and shouldn't be fixed.

 

But the date that you choose to release your mod on is ultimately yours. I'd just really like to see some actual "competition" here soon. (Seeing as there's only, what, 15 days left in the competition?)

the reason for me personally not uploading my mod is because it is far from done. I'm still working on a couple of cells of my map and have tons of scripting if I want to include everything I wanted. Any testing would probably just be to help me pick out misalignments on my map and maybe get some opinions on details. I have a feeling that I'm not going to get any such help though so I will debug it myself and release it when i get the scripting done.

Just checking- is it allowed to require OBSE? The competition page mentions it's vanilla only, but doing anything fun with vanilla script is like trying to build a house with nothing but 2x4s and superglue.

[jaysus]

spoiled obse brat :P

back in the days we knew how to work with our bare scripts... :geek:

 

but hey whats up with the competition?

i heard rumours that dark won in the lottery and increased the prizes!

but since he still needs to check it in for income tax we have to wait or somin like that... but maybe i just misunderstodd somin...
