Can we have another one? But unlike the last abortive attempt, I think we should make it pretty solidly defined from the beginning. Suggested Rules:
1. Contest is open to all registered HLP members
2. Mods must be "new", ie. not publically shown on HLP before. Internal campaign mods, mods already on peoples HDs but not shown etc. etc. are acceptable as new
3. Polycaps of 1000 for fighter/bombers, 5000 for capships. This is likely to ruffle a few feathers, but I think they're fair compromises between what HT&L can do, and what Joe Average is used to modelling for FS2.
4. Upgraded models from user modeldumps can not be accepted.
5. Models must be submitted in relatively stable (in game) pof format, and use FS hierarchy for Turrets and the like. This may seem biased towards more experienced modders, with stuff like Karajorma's and others Turreting Tuts, and a fair amount of tie to ask for help on the forums, things should balance out.
6. Partnerships not acceptable, except in modeller/texturer partnerships.
7. Winning categories
- Best Untextured Fighter/Bomber (all F/Bs are entered in this category, regardless of whether textures are supplied or not)
-Best Textured Fighter
- Best Untextured Capships (all Capships are entered in this category, regardless of whether textures are supplied or not)
-Best Textured Capship
Winners could be judged by admins (if willing) and perhaps a few well known modders/community figures (eg, Icefire and Hunter(Webmasters) Wildwolf (Late of V)) who may not want to enter. (Again, only if willing)
All entries in by, say, a month from Saturday? 4 days for people to notice the comp (and no doubt debate the rules), and a month to make the models.
So, opinions? Willing contendors/judges?
