I'm not. I think it is quite fair that I speak out against promoting trash packs. And that is all that can come of this. A better challenge would be a week to do the best you can. That would at least allow for some thought and quality work. 2 hours gets you another bucket fill and outline pack. Why would anyone back that idea when we have too many as is? This is rewarding people for doing bad packs and further promoting the degradation of the overall quality of work seen on this forum.
Also, he's got a point. What kind of a texture pack can you make in two hours? Another 8bit craft? Simple craft? It's the same ******** every week. I suppose, ultimately, it's like pissing in a sea of ****, but perhaps you should let it drain.

I dont see how that would even spread trash packs, they would all be on one thread. Also, I said it is being judged on more quality than quantity, I am looking for something nice, but I also want it to be done relatively fast. Like I said, it is for fun and some people find this kind of thing cool, others dont. How about this, if I raised the limit to more like a day, do you think that would promote more skill and less speed?

Oh man it's been about 3 centuries since I played this game :|

I said dont be a douche, I did not say he was a douche, a fine line to walk, but a line indeed. However, I agree, and I apologize for inferring he was a douche.

I know I come off rude as hell.. it's a failure on my part I never cared to correct...lol I'm just saying, from my own experience that 2 hours is barely enough time to do anything worthwhile. I know I work in much higher resolution, but I'm lucky if I get 1 texture complete in 2 hours. I do like the idea of a contest, but speed is'nt the best way to go with it. Pick a theme and give people a set time to do it in that allows for quality.
as far as the spreading... yes they would be submitted here, until they decide to continue where they left off and started a thread for it. just sayin'
Look.. I know your intentions are right here, and support the idea of a contest in general, I would just like to see it be something more substantial than some of the former contests have produced.

Ok well its 24 hours now, which I agree seems a little bit better. And 2 hours for 1 texture? What resolution are we talking, like 128x?
I want to do this, but I am way to lazy as I haven't even gotten 50% done on my pack because of the fact I forget to work on it. :tongue.gif: PLUS YOU WILL NEVER GET MY ADDRESS! Unless you were planning on giving Civ 4 away through Steam. Then I don't give a crap. (Ok, I need to stop with these extremely long messages...)

Edit: WAIT IT SAYS USED CIV 4. FUUUUUUUUUU-
Like I said, if you do end up winning the CIV IV and you dont want to give your address out or whatever, then we can work something out.

lol.. my current pack (link in sig) is 256x, but I work in 512 and scale it down. the most time I spent on 1 texture so far is close to 10 hours. but that includes making a separate height map for making the normal/spec maps and then making those. I know 16x takes considerably less time, but I have attempted 16x and it's not always easy to get your shading right and have it tile well. :smile.gif:

Curse PremiumCalling someone a douche is a douche thing to do.

Curse PremiumLike... What?

Like a game over steam perhaps, or a switch prizes, like you get a $30 gift card to gamestop and 2nd gets civ IV.
