I see what you're saying. However, there wasn't a really specific piece-by-piece declaration of the point values for each sub-category. The judges were capable of weighting the areas of each category as they felt best. Sound obviously wasn't a huge factor considering sound wasn't in a lot of the maps.

Instead of posting here about it why don't you ask the judges how things were weighed. I don't think any of them really read here.

I am a judge as is Hipshot. We are capable of answering these questions. :)

Kid: This means judges outweighed sound by everything else. Storm's map was very clean cut. Sounds obviously would have been a plus, but the rest of the map was good enough to reward the extra presentation points regardless of sounds according to me at least. There's no doubt his map deserved a top 3 position.

Givin extra-points arbitrary, isnt fair!-

Some partipitians were lookin for sounds, askin for permissions
and even makin their own sounds!-
Therefore a map without sounds can not get points for that.

(Im not talkin about my map, im speakin for all partipitians.
But my map and others have everything, what a good map needs,
and they have clippin, they have sounds and they have a title when the map loads.)

silence is a sound too.

you think The Exorcist or Blair Witch would be scarier if it had constant musical score and/or ambient sounds?

Words of wisdom, yo.

Sound may add to a map, but it is definitely not a requirement. That's why the guide said "Sounds (if included)". If any of the maps without sound earned a perfect score for presentation, it's only because the graphics were just that good.

Sounds can even detract from presentation if they are bad enough. But I'm sure if your map included sounds and they fit the atmosphere nicely your presentation score earned a few extra points overall from them.

graphics # sounds!

Some maps have 5! points for "unobtrusive sounds",
although they do not have any sound.-
Maps with sounds have only 2 or 3 points instead.

I'm going to suggest that you post about these things in NoGhost's forums. We will try to the best of our ability to answer your questions and help solve some of the problems for the next competition.

Enjoy.


Thank you to everyone that participated. It was a great adventure for us, and after some tweaking we will have another competition of the sort.

Even found silent.wav in a normal installation of PowerDVD, for anyone who's interested in getting that gorgeous sound, too! :smirk:
