Are you planning to make video's of all of the submissions, including ones that are not part of the contest but still in the map?

I will almost certainly record them all, unless I'm playing in a noisy space. Not sure I will have time to render and upload them all, since that pretty much ties up the computer for an hour each.

I really want to see my map on video, it's awesome watching the other entries, and they have nice redstone mechanics... and as I would say "Knowing redstone is like having skills on football, if you have it, you are simply better"

Why not just do quickly while livestreaming those who give you permission? That way, because the video's saved on Twitch, they can watch it later, and without render time.
Naturally they'd have to give permission (to be livestreamed/video'd) first. Which, by the way, is cool with me.

Yep, that's the easiest option, but I have very limited time where I can livestream. Needs to be done from home when there isn't any background noise.
It's much easier for me to play these while I'm on the road, but that means poor internet and underpowered laptop.

Well, I'm more than willing to give permission to film my area right off the bat! Nice work so far

Oh, and thanks so much for putting up the PQ link there ^^ Would you be so kind as to perhaps advertise through our Youtube Channel (Even though no other Noxcrewians helped me out on my entry :P) rather/alongside the thread? www.youtube.com/NoxcrewPresents

Sure thing - I'll use the YouTube link in the actual map's credits.

Also - I spent and enjoyable 42:33 playing your entry. Quite impressive amount of time, given the little space that you had to work in. I will edit it down to about 30 minutes, but I may not be able to upload until later tonight.

Thanks to those who are giving proactive permission to air the first impression videos. I'm going to be checking out the levels in the order of people who posted, and then go back to random selection.

Redstone is more like science. If you know it, you can use it in various situations to make your projects better.

You don't need to know redstone. You need to know what effect you want to create and then look up a redstone tutorial or schematic and recreate or import it.
Some people will be good at figuring it out from scratch or debugging, but that's not necessary if you are careful in 'borrowing' someone else's design. OR, you can easily find someone who loves redstone and ask them to help you.

As far as I'm concerned, redstone IS adventure maps and everyone who tries to makes an adventure map without it is just giving the scenery without the game...

I completely disagree. Adventure maps require a good story and an immersive visual build. You don't need ANY redstone. You can make tons of special effects and challenges without any redstone.

Yes, redstone can add a nice puzzle and special effects, but in my opinion you need to build the map around the story, not around a single redstone 'trick' (the exception being Wintertide, which I don't really count a single BUD as 'redstone')

Redstone is MOST used in 'game' type maps like Sethbling's big creations.

Hey there rsmalec, i was just wondering whether it was alright if i could resubmit my entries with my skin built into them as i didn't have time before but now i know what your going to do with them i think i will try to make one. So is it ok?

That's fine. It's not game-changing. And I expected others would want to add this after they realized what it was fully for.
I purposely didn't announce it originally as I wanted you to USE your imaginations to come up with levels, and not build levels REPRESENTING your imagination.

Quote from Zimp

Also: You may have missed it but on your first playthrough of an entry i commented that it was ok to make my entry public to the world, just in case you missed it here i am expressively announcing it!

Aha! I knew I saw you say it somewhere, but I couldn't remember where.

How is it make you better if you are skilled at football? If one doesn't know how to play football, you are saying that he/she is worse than someone who knows? Not the best saying...

I never used the word "worse", knowing redstone/skills on football(in my analogy) it is just like having a plus on what you do, but it is not necessary. and I'm refering to the universe of people who play football in my analogy, it's just basic logic and interpretation.. When you learn something, most of the times is because someone taught you how to do it and not because you discovered it, for example in school, you write the things you learned in class so you have something to base on, it is basically the same in Minecraft, if you are starting to build something -as rsmalec said-, you can just import some schematic and add it to the map for the things you want in it, because you learned what it will do and how it will work in your map, so knowing about redstone is a plus, that will probably help you to make maps by saving time importing and all that stuff, because you already know how to do it, and obviously that does not mean your map will be better than those people who do not use redstone or just a small part, I have seen some maps, -being honest-, that use tons of redstone and are worst than maps that don't use redstone, except for doors, and dispensers, they focus more on the essence of what a real "adventure" map is than in the "amazing" redstone. And when I said the word "better", I did not meant being better than someone who doesn't know, but being better yourself than you was before... anyways, I made that comment because they used very well the redstone on their maps, and that impressed me.

-Sorry for long post, have a diamond everyone!

I haven't played with it yet, but it sounds like in today's snapshot, you can specify a range for teleportation commands. This might help prevent players outside of the current encounter from being teleported incorrectly.

Cool thanks

Ron, two questions, is my entry the one that isn't elegible, and if not you can livstream or make a video of my entry. Sorry it wasn't very good I had a few things I needed to do so it wasn't my top priority.

Yours is eligible. Is it ok to show?
