xezon 0 Posted August 14, 2004 Hello I have a new question about the scoring/winners. There are 6 categories, and 10 Finalists, and 1 allround winner. So I want to ask you, how can you compare a Coop mission with a Single Player mission? And who will be the winner, when two missions reached the full score? Coop? SP? With Addons, without Addons? Its like you compare OFP with Sims. Which game is better? OFP or Sims? A games magazine makes for all game genres different lists. Or would you put Diablo2 in front of OFP? ? So long, xezon.

Silver Falcon 0 Posted August 14, 2004 I guess, no mission will have full score in all categories such as reality/ cinematics/ scripts...(there is nothing other to compare, so the relative avarge of rating is free for needs of judges). And I guess that judges will compare the imaginary maximal potential of each category, however I think that SP missions with addons have the best chance for VBS because of ballanced potential in every testing category (especialy cutscenes and story for SP and greater potential of addons), however the potential may not be fully used and unaddoned mission have a small + against badly or avargely addoned missions. But that is only a guess, i write what i think, because Placebo won´t answer sooner than monday and I guess he will be pretty busy that time  By the way: Why not to make VBS prize for every category? I think it can´t be too expensive for BIS since have copyright on it and those common player would hardly buy full VBS pack - it must cost only the expenses for material, posting and so on for BIS (maybe Im wrong)... and its true that comparing 6 categories to get one winner is not ideal In other hand, let be happy for that one VBS, its nice deal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macguba 0 Posted August 14, 2004 Comparing apples with oranges is always difficult.   For example, how do you compare a solo blackop mission with a huge Chain of Command combined operations mission?   The judges will have as much difficulty in comparing missions within a category as in comparing missions from different categories.  In practice, a lot of the theoretical difficulties will disappear when they actually have real missions to compare.   "Quality" is difficult to define, but it's one of these things that you know it when you see it. @Batdog, that spoof news item was just a bit of fun to remind everyone that the deadline is close.   Sorry if you didn't like it.   Bad luck about  your comp btw.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

void_false 1 Posted August 15, 2004 short some long music files Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted August 15, 2004 I believe the entry form won't even allow you to submit a file over 5mb so you have no choice but to fix it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted August 15, 2004 BTW for the record you won't be marked down in the slightest if music tracks are of a low audio quality due to compression Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

celery 8 Posted August 16, 2004 Is it too late to submit a mission now? First I thought there was time for whole 16th Aug to send it over, thus I didn´t finish my mission in the late hours... I was like when I read the 9 am. Any chance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted August 16, 2004 There have been a number of late submissions, I think perhaps one more will not hurt too much FlashNews will be posted sometime within the next hour, in there it says the time for submissions has passed, so submit it quick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted August 16, 2004 6pm CET. Submissions for the mission editing competition will no longer be accepted I'm closing the thread to make the point, I'll either open it again in a while or make a new one so that there is a place for updates and such Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
