Due to the constant complaints and my own RL problems, the contest is called off.

I lost interest at "- Only models from HLČ are allowed ... NO custom weapons, vehicles or ragdolls"
Sorry but original HL2 ragdolls suck! They're rigged like assholes.
Well, you should have read further ... i allow ragdolls from Fakefactory's Cinema Pack.
Your loss if you're too pussy for a challenge.
Sounds legit, I'm game
Same....
But by reskins related to the Half Life Universe you mean we can use any the different skins that have been created for the Citizens/Rebels and the Combine/CPs ?
As long as it is the same model and it still fits into HLČ, yes.
Nice, a competition that actually rewards you for your efforts. I think I'll consider making something.
Would Alexvestins weapon re-skins count? They're just re-models, but its still technically the same model
There is the SMG
Thanks you for the reminder: Yes, these models are allowed too, since they were an attempt to make HLČ look more Sci-Fi and still blend into.
Post #10
-snip-
I lost intrest quicky now, sorry :/
The date compared to that last 'badass' competition is more realistic, so I might take part too.
Who won that by the way?

Interesting Rewards!

Not really ... because you used Kalashnikovs.
Although Valve intended Kalashnikovs for Half Life 2, they dropped them in the final release and so they won't count as a proper weapon for the HLČ universe. (and this contest)
But those were just examples for your question, right ?
I'm sorry but I just don't like the idea of having a price.
Mr. Whitefolks contests were fun because everyone got along and there were no fights about who did the best screenshot, everyone just liked to see good work with the selected theme. His contests were small, simple and if you did the considered best screenshot you would get a spot in his deviantart album that was fun to look through to see your partners work or to get that museum feeling.
I just think this is too complicated.
Blackjack, cut down on the fucking text before I bomb your house.
I'm serious, you type to much. Reading one post is okay, you write a fucking story board and I lose interest about your statement and opinion half way through.
CUT-IT-DOWN.
Just because there are only 6 or 7 guns in HL2 does not mean they are the ONLY WEAPONS ON THE PLANET in the HL2 Universe.
You need to trim that rule down son.
That might be.
On the other hand though, you can't proof it in the other direction.
Remember: in the HLČ Universe, Combines ruled for more than 20 years. Lots of time if you ask me to destroy remaind armaments and the rest rusts without proper maintenance.
But i think, i can make a small compromise:
[release]- Resistance members can have custom weapon models
- Overwatch and Civil Protection however are restricted to their Weapons:
H&K USPs, H&K MP7s, AR-2s and Franchi SPAS 12 Gauges[/release]
(Updated the rules above)
Oh and ...
@SatanSin:
Since i edited the "model"-rule, yours would count now. (If the originals are attached to the post)
Satansins are old >_>
They're even worse than the default models.
I thought so. They popped up way to quickly to be new.
Well, i honestly can't see, what the big deal is. I worked with both of 'em and non of 'em were any harder to pose for me.ChestyMcGee posted:
I can pose them just fine. Problem is they both look like shit.
I can't see very good pictures coming from this thread.
...Well, good luck!
People will have trouble with no custom models
You can use reskins mate, and some reskins don't like that shitty :P
That's okay then. Hi-res skins are nice... unless you take it way too far *cough cough* FF.
What do you excpect me to do, take that rule away ?
Soon as i do that, alot of idiots will show up with a bunch of soldiers, shooting off-screen and tell me, they recreated the Seven-hour War or reinterpreted HLČ with spongier Fan-Fiction. That would be far away from the theme and the purpose of this contest.
@BigBoom:
Was that short enough for 'ya ?
I honestly tried to shorten it up.
I think that the reward thing is totally stupid. Your CSS models are totally cheap and probably were made (better) a gazillion times already, and the Gmod weapons thing is just...Dumb.
if people want to participate, they will. don't try to make it more attractive by adding some rewards.
I see by now that Facepunch is not ready for a different kind of contest.
Lets see how much will be posted by the end of the week. If it's going to be very low, I'll call off this contest and mark the Operation:"Professional Creativity" as a failure. I'll try it some time later again. Maybe in a year or two, when the majority of the comunity drop the balls and be ready for a challenge of their skills.
Should it go so far, I might give a portion of the reward for those who participated. I'm not a scrimping asshole.![]()
You like :D?
You missed something .... the original picture -.-.
FUUUU, I didnt know you meant for in-game too, all it was was super DOF, is it DQed?
Ah no, Orignals are the final screenshots without post effects done in GIMP, Paint.NET or Photoshop ... just the pure Screenshots.
In-Game effects count into the original.
In other words: Since your Submission is also your Original, it still counts.
...but that picture is in game...
Okay, now I'm getting confused.
Allright, I'll show you now two things: a third example that might inspire you in terms of picture content and also how i want you to post your contributions:
This is the final product, the one that goes in as contribution. :siren: Remember Kids, this one here is not a Contribution :siren: (Was done way too quickly anyway)
... and this is the original Picture.
You can also send in-game shots, if you wish. The amount of Originals per contribution is not limited.

Alrighty then, because I was NOT going to do that one again, may enter another one though
you still have 5 shots left. ^^
Cool. I'll try to make something tomorrow.
Looks cool, who's in the foreground? You?
Oh, I am blind.

It's Garry's Mod. Garry's Mod is a game.
A game. You're even worse than Whitefolks in terms of "oh you people need to better yourself n the pursuit of artistic accomplishment."
IT'S A GAME.
Edited:
At least Whitefolk's made good pictures though.
