HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

Well its that time again...Almost...Soon I will be hosting another one of my competitions (Whilst it hasn't been touted as official by staff, I personally say its an official halomods competition as revealed by the last competition, an emblem is given to the winner...emblems are part of halomods... )

And well I just wanted to know your thoughts on it...Things like:

What map would you like the competition to use for skinning?
Do you think that past skinning comps have been too short? Too long?
Do you think any of the rules should be changed? More strict? More lenient?
What are your general thoughts on the competition?
Do you think Faisal's winning streak is destined to end? (;))
and ultimatley, are you going to enter?

I just want to listen to the feedback first before I create the competition. However it may not end up coming in a few weeks or so, I'm not sure, life beckons sometimes.

FIRST, Faisal's winning streak MUST end, but I am not quite sure if he is entering at all.
Second, I think that the next competition should be longer, I had an idea, closer to the end, which I didn't get a chance to put into action. TCMC had an AWESOME skin, but he couldn't release as well, because he was out of town (good memory yarly).
I think that the rules should stay the way they are, or completely change . I mean either keep them the same, or make it so the competition is about a theme, and the contestants choose the map to skin that theme.
I am definitely going to enter this one. One, because I want to do something productive. Two, because I want to beat antszy. Three, because Faisal's winning streak must die .

Super natural powers plox (please). Kthxbai.

I think you did a very nice job of creating and judging the last contest. If I had to make a suggestion, it would be to make the contest last longer. Personally, I dont have as much free time as some of the people here, but I really would like to enter the next contest. I think the rules were fine, and of course I have to agree with fox, Faisal's streak must absatively posolutely end.

Q: What map would you like the competition to use for skinning?
A: I would like to see an indoor level this time, Ivory Tower MB?

Q: Do you think that past skinning comps have been too short? Too long?
A: I personally thought it was to long, maybe 2 or 3 weeks max this time?

Q: Do you think any of the rules should be changed? More strict? More lenient?
A: Nah rules were fine last time

Q: What are your general thoughts on the competition?
A: Loved it, Had a great time

Q: Do you think Faisal's winning streak is destined to end? (;))
A: Oh yeaah he's goin down this time

Q: and ultimatley, are you going to enter?
A: Hell yeah!!

Of course you can count me in!
Loved the last contest and was a bit sorry that I didn't have more time to complete it. However the reason I could not complete it was because I started half-way in.
Sorry I was a ***** about your skin ScottyGEE, I think you mistook my post.(And I have to officially apologize about my other post in the Judging forum. I believe I was a **** there as well...
Would love to skin an indoor level BTW...

I may enter. Don't count me in quite yet... I'm not sure on how much time i'll have...gots a new job today so i need to train for it more. Hopefully I can!!

the rules are ok i just want like more time bc i have school and not much free time with this and that so yea
for the map mabey like lockout, or foundation

Q: What map would you like the competition to use for skinning?
A: Coagulation FTW!

Q: Do you think that past skinning comps have been too short? Too long?
A: Maybe a month long that would be great.

Q: Do you think any of the rules should be changed? More strict? More lenient?
A: Good rules

Q: What are your general thoughts on the competition?
A: They are great

Q: Do you think Faisal's winning streak is destined to end? ()
A: Yep.

Q: and ultimatley, are you going to enter?
A: Of course

Lol sorry shade copied your post...Too lazy...



Well I have a skin on the way for coag. It would be great to skin that level.

I've only skinned one map ever (last competition) and it was an eyesore, but I'll probably enter just for the heck of it.
You're the best unofficial skinning competition host I've ever seen host an unofficial skinning competition. (You're also the only one, but that's beside the point.)
Ivory Tower sounds ok, maybe Lockout.
Scotty FTW!

I think that you should pick a theme as opposed to a map. Change it up a bit . Also, (everyone will hate me for this), I think you should delay the competition until around June 18th. This is because for those of us in school we have final exams and AP tests to study for that begin at around the same time I beleive the competition will begin. I will stil try to enter, to beat fox of course, but no promises.

I had a great skin in the works for the last competition but my Xbox broke and I couldn't see how the map would look in game so I never finished it. A month is a great time limit for the competition; I don't think I could finish a great skin in two or three weeks. I think its about time to end Faisal's winning streak with my third HaloMods release.

I'd have to say I would love to see a Coagulation skin worked on as the same proportions as the last competition. People made Burial Mounds look fucking fantastic and I would love to see a Coag skin done on the same level of effort. I haven't seen any Coag skins that have jumped out and bitch slapped me across the face so far and I would love to see that.
Good luck with this competition.

Thanks for the input people
I will consider each persons post and keep reading here in case there are more...
The only problemk I see is that a loit want it longer yet others want it to say or be shorter...If anything I may extend the competition by a week so it'd be 1month 1 week or something but I have not decided just yet.

As for the map ideas, let me rule out the following to be skinned:
Lockout (Hard map to skin, 3 bitmaps, no offence but I'd expect poor skins for it, even for me), cogaultion (similar to lockout, only a few textures need skinningm and its become a cliche for skins [esp snow]), tombstone is out because the skin for it is beautiful, waterworks coz its too big.

There, its not like I'm ruling out a lot of maps, just don;t come to expect these maps to be the map to be skinned...

Btw, I may do what I w2as going to do previously and make a theme and everyone skins around that...The only problem is WHAT theme to skin? There's no way in hell that I'd choose snow, and I can't think of too many themes otherwise...Jungle, desert, dilapidated, urban, covenant? I dunno, we'll see but I think skinning one level is best and easiest to manage to choose who can skin the best.

Anyway, keep up the posts bnecause as I said, I won't be making the cotest just yet, I say late may to june as the time the comp starts (plus I'll finish semster artound then, and supposeldy you yanks do too)

I know you said you didn't like Tombstone, I think that'd be awesome.
I would like to see a theme for Human Military or Covenant, mainly because I remember seeing Gemini skinned to be ''humanized'' and it looked fantastic, totally remade.
Good luck!

I only say no tombstone, because I don't beleive one could make that skin better...I love it the way it is actually...

All I have to say is do it around early June cause thats when everyones school is winding down.

Covie levels have more of a rounded shape to them u dont really see that many round buildings or rooms these day maybe in the future but who knows.
My input:
Lockout isn't skinned enough perhaps that or warlock and just a though a main menu skinning competition would be nice maybe people could add a new bsp for the back if thats possible but it is skinning so. I would like to flip on halo 2 and see something nice other then that blue and also I would like to judge.

I wish. My school gets out on MONDAY June 18th

What about skinning foundation? It has a decent amount of bitmaps, warning banners, door bitmaps, numbers, metal, sound senery, decent middle structure, rooms and a scree in one of the rooms you can skin.

A: Oh yeaah he's goin down this time

Do you think we should pull the tool out for this one?

You know what I mean
