Coookkie's Clasutrophobic Contest
Welcome HaloTracks, to my fourth Halo 4 forging challenge, my Coookkie's Claustrophobic Contest! This contest will test forgers' ability to work in small spaces. You have to make a racetrack entirely enclosed in the room, or the griffball court, on Erosion. The track has to be at least about half a skytrack, because making a flat supercross track would be too easy to do. As always, your track must be compatible for RACETRACKS and must be uncheatable. You have almost a month for this one, so I hope to get lots of entries. Now get inside the room on Erosion, get forging, and try not to feel too claustrophobic! Rules:

• Only one map per person, but submissions can be changed before the deadline
• If the map is made by more than one person, please list all of the creators
• Must be made on Halo 4, not Halo 3 or Halo Reach
• Map MUST be in your fileshare
• Must be made within the room on Erosion
• Map must be at least 1/2 in the sky
• Must be compatible for the RACETRACKS gametype
• Must be compatible for 16 people
• Must be uncheatable, and have kill zones in places players don't need to be
• Modded maps are unacceptable and you may not enter them
• During voting period, you may not vote for your own map
• Judges may not enter
• Map must be made after this post

How to Submit:

• Map Creator: (gamertag, not HT name)
• Map Name:
• Map Description:
• Picture: (optional)

Prizes:

• 1st Place: 250 HT Points, Map Feature, YouTube Video Feature
• 2nd Place: 150 HT Points
• 3rd Place: 100 HT Points

Judging:
Judging will be done by me and a few others. We will rate each map from 1 to 5 (5 being the best), the scores will be added up, and the 5 maps with the highest overall scores will then move on to community voting.

Community Voting:
Community Voting will take place after the judging period, and voters will choose their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd favorite choice. First will receive 3 points, second will receive 2 points, and third will receive one point. The map with the highest score will be deemed the winner

Deadlines:

• Submission Deadline will be March 9th, 2013
• Judgement Deadline will be March 14th, 2013.
• Voting Deadline will be March 21st, 2013.

Great idea for a contest, I'll definitely be making a map for this one! I'll have to try and be creative with it, not sure how yet though...

[Masta Hippie]

Can I build my track on a Foundry remake? They're made on Impact and Ravine though. Same space restrictions except with less usable objects and more nostalgia. Also it's my idea, no copying.

[Jeffh3962]

I know what you're making, Masta.

Awesome idea, I will make a map for this contest soon.

[clipstreu]

If I make a TINY change to Hot Wheels 1.2.0 does it count lol totally got this idea off me.

[CoookkieMonster]

clipstreu there have been tons of maps made entirely in the griffball court, I was going to make some a few days after the game came out and just never got around to it. I've had the idea for this contest for a while now, and Masta just reminded me of it.

Also, Masta as it states very clearly in the description of the contest and in the rules, it must be made in the room on Erosion; the one, giant pre-made room.

How do you know what I'm making when I have no idea what I'm making?! I just want to use a Foundry canvas because it has the classic annoying cranes and bases.

Damn it Fluffball, Whiplash was my favorite foundry track. Now I can't remake it. Good to know there's a Foundry made in the erosion room though. I only knew about the Impact and Ravine ones.

[Jeffh3962]

I assumed you were remaking Fungie 500 lol

Oh yeah I forgot about that. That was my plan.

[CoookkieMonster]

Who all made Fungie 500? I know it says the HaloTracks Staff, but who exact did that include?

And just to be clear, you don't HAVE to make a remake, but remakes are gladly accepted and it would be cool to see some old tracks remade on this! I hope nobody remakes any of the maps from my history videos for brownie points! (;

[gogetarulez]

How about someone remakes drift rider . It's my favorite Halo 3 racetrack of all time. I will surely enter this. Once I finish my other Erosion track I'll be focusing on this. I already have some ideas. And it sounds like I'm going to make Drift Rider but I'm not going to. So someone else please do because I love it so much.

I know. Before I knew you, I was like, "this gogeta guy is OBSESSED with Drift Rider." It was the only track you nominted, Darksniper is the only person you nominated, he and his track were the ones you voted in first place for every category that he/Drift Rider were in lol.

[OrionHardy]

Might use this contest as my first attempt to make a roller-coaster.

[llehctim4]

I do have a pretty cool idea for a track for this, not sure how good it'll be, but I'll give it a shot!

[Ultima Awesome]

Challenge Accepted

[CoookkieMonster]

Awesome guys, I'm glad to hear it; I can't wait to see all of your maps!

[Bean05]

I've started a map, but unfortunately i keep running into the "Invsible object" glitch. Does anybody know ways of preventing this from happening?

I think it has something to do with the lighting budget. You probably ran out and that might be the result. I've solved it by moving it slightly on one of my maps. I think you can prevent it by using objects that don't take up much of the lighting budget. But this is very annoying to do because I don't think you can create a good racetrack without using too much. (Note that it does not always happen)
