ill rethink it and make a better post :D
-
-
what about CS:S props?
and DoD:S
-
no Easy Precision? =S
-
lol at vanilla.
Here kids, have a Playstation 3, but you can only play Playstation 2 games. HAVE FUN!
-
This might be a decent idea (although not one I'm intersted in) if you weren't being so ridiculously restrictive. Seriously, you have to ask for rope, winch, hydraulics, muscles, skins, ballsocket, axis, balloons, hoverballs, thrusters, and all the others I've forgotten? Also you can only use a defined set of spawn lists? What about all the Combine props in my Combine Props spawnlist? They're perfectly vanilla in that they come with the Source engine, but somehow in a vanilla building contest you have to ask to use them? That's not vanilla.
Better guideline (also much simpler and less anal) is you should be able to download an Adv. Dupe of the contraption and spawn it without needing any other addons than Advanced Duplicator.
That way you allow all the tools like stacker, easy precision, weight tool, stuff like that - using those the contraptions you make are still vanilla, because they don't need any addons to work.
-
But doing so will take the thing hard work away.
Yes it is very restrictive and i didnt think you could build stuff in this way.
It seemed a stupid idea and when i tryed it i loved it and dont stop now
-
If you have your own building style/niche that involves only using the things you specified in the rules list, then that's fine by me. But calling the competition "Vanilla Builder" is incorrect, as the guidelines are tailored to your building minimalism thing rather than "don't use mods".
If you're attempting to make a vanilla building competition you shouldn't be forcing these further restrictions and minimalisms on the contestants - if you want to do that you shouldn't be calling it a vanilla competition.
-
How are you supposed to know if we build something with easy precision?
-
It shows.
But you are only cheating your self if you do this.
-
@OP get back to try and forcing your self into teams in the gamemode section - And we all know the Shift+E thing, duuh...
-
So, When's the deadline.Whats the prize / other reason why i should do this. Who will be judging. Etc.
-
Not a very well made competition. Like they've said, there's virtually no way you could tell if someone used easy precision or is just very skilled at positioning props with the PhysGun.
-
I've got a contraption i wanna enter, but i had to use weight tool for the sake of the Server, since no parenting was involved. The thing ended up being TONS of fun to drive around xD Best car i ever made in five minutes.
Unfortunately, the thing doesn't survive adv duping, so that's the first, and last version ever made. I didn't get a chance to get any footage of it thanks to gmod crashing. D=
And as a bonus pic, the Wired version:
PS: I built on Buttes, god forbid you limit people to what map they build their contraptions on. That's just dumb. Maybe i wanna jump some sand dunes.

Typical competition derived by a 15 year old.
Why should we restrict ourselves? That would make the quality of stuff we make be below average.
-
why is everyone knocking the op, what's wrong with building with only vanilla things
building vanilla is a challenge, brings nostalgia, and is really fun to be honest. anyone can spam a million phoenix props and parent them and shove some fancy e2s up its ass, but it's a lot tougher to take modern ideas like suspension or other complex things using only vanilla tools. it's like building a boat from materials from an island vs a factory. any veteran of gmod9 knows this nostalgia and how fun vanilla can be. everyone has become too soft from all these mods like easy precision and wire
Edited:
however i do agree that the mention to us about snapdegrees and limiting maps is a bit dumb
Edited:
...in fact it's all just structured weird
just say use only vanilla tools & props
-
I'm not knocking the OP because he's proposing a vanilla competition, I'm knocking him because he's doing it wrong and it's not a vanilla competition. He's saying "you must only use these tools". A vanilla competition would be either "you can't use any non-vanilla tools or other addons to build this contraption" or "the contraption must not need any mods installed to work".
-
Mate turst me. I can build phx if i want, just take a look:
THE MEDIA TAGS ARE NOT WORKING IM VERY SORRY!
-
1: I'm am not now and never will be your mate.
2: I wouldn't "turst" you with the simplest of tasks
3: Making a giant phx box on pillars doesn't mean jack shit on FP
4: ???
5: Profit!
-
Nobody's saying you can't :P You should rethink and repost this competition or something before this thread's IQ hits zero.
-
Wow, That's one cool phx house.
-
Its actually a hotel.
But thats what im saying, i have had my fair go at making phx things.
-
As an experienced builder mainly with phx and vanilla, I must tell you that those houses are nothing to fancy.
This is however:
-
It looks like this competition is something you threw together to have a chance at competing to the popular builders on this forum: Restricting the tools that make their contraptions the best.
What does this have anything to do with what Gibbo said...?
-
I approve. Just look at the curves on that bitch..As an experienced builder mainly with phx and vanilla, I must tell you that those houses are nothing to fancy.
This is however:
As far as this competition goes I usually like restrictions and being spanked for being a "bad bad boy". But you got kind of redick--ulous.
First off this statement makes 0 sense...
Nobody is perfect in anything they make because its Gmod and perfect is impossible
I usually takes way more time to make a very large and useless house.
um? The hell? By use maps what the fuck are you babbling about?
As far as props go I have 200+ vanilla props custom added to the useful and comic sections that I dug out of the browser over the years, like pipes and lights and such. Why would those vanilla props not be usable.
Remember GARRY is the one who set up those default spawnlists and if anyone knows absolutely shit-all about gmod building... its garry newman.
It would be 45 Degrees and why would you want a restriction like that.
Make something outdoors............ NO (like there is an option on flatgrass)
WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU SIGNING THE BOTTOM OF YOUR POST WITH YOUR NAME.. This is a forum! your name is clearly indicated on the left at the start of the post.. You are not writing us a fucking love letter.. Peev's the shit out of me.
-
Lol at the worst person in gmod. GARRY
-
not for mods -> [spoiler]Garry is a horny cockroach who likes to dislike building stuff.[/pwnd] <- not for mods
Oh you people <3
-
True Vanilla building should be in game only, not in VMF format. It will make the contest very unfair.
-
what
-
He failed to realize that vanilla building only includes vanilla props but could be built with whatever non-visualizing utility. The greatest builders of all time used hammer, in my opinion. Take Audo84 for example.
A long time ago there was an anti-hammer campaign. Just like the anti-phx thing. Or anti-SBEP.
-
Yeah well that's just horrible. I don't know what you were hoping to prove with that.
-
fuck hammer
-
Well now you have gone and done it.. I hearby resume my previous possition as the head of the "FUCK YOU IF YOU BUILD IN HAMMER" Society...
I dont mind making a vmf of something you built in Gmod.. But dont "model" something out of props and say it has anything to do with gmod. What makes gmod gmod is standing in an unstable server enlessly phys-gunning and stackering and easy precisioning shit into a pile until it looks good. Then parenting it all while your friends shoot rockets over your head and threaten to crash the server.
"Building" in hammer is kind of like Getting a lapdance from your mother. Yes, she is a women but you know it is just not right.
yes, First Lieutenant Muzz
-
Out of curiosity, What exactly do people expect as "Prizes" for these competitions? O.o
-
Better idea for a competition;
You are given a pile of junk to build with. Like for instance; someone were to spawn a bunch of shit and you have that to build with. The props would be completely random, and not just vanilla. You have a set time to build ANYTHING, and the props have to be shared among a bunch of people (like two or three, not a whole server full) once a player has 'claimed' props, you can't fuck with them to get a prop you want. You can ask them for one, but they are not required to give you jack shit if they don't want to.
You can use ANY tool for building, except for Adv duplicator or normal duplicator; we don't want anyone trying to duplicate props for an advantage.
-
I had one.. Everyone bring a contraption into a server everyone brings a tank or plane or train. .. Then it has to be dupped without constraints. The huge pile of props that is formed must then be turned into something else (boat?) in say 3 hours. Rewiring is allowed.
But you cant tell someone when this competition is being held.. Need to just DO IT!
-
I like Zeos's idea a lot too, but would you be allowed to use other wire tools besides the ones that may have fallen off the original?
-
Pff but zeos would put down a contraption, and suddenly you'd have a bajillion props to play with.. and probably really little ones xD
I really like Donut's idea, the whole pile of props thing, it's like back in the days of lego.
But I'm not sure about people sharing that pile, because, one guy could just physgun spam all the props before people grab one D=
-
Yep, epecially when everything is parented.
-
I <3 Donut's idea. Even though he yelled at me :'(
Use of wire is fine except Expressions, CPUs etc.etc... just "simple stuff"
All wire components must be hidden/invisible, and nocollided.
