S.P.A.Z.U. Sharpshooter Contest

cakeman · Posted: Thu Aug 10, 2006 4:07 am Post subject: S.P.A.Z.U. Sharpshooter Contest

Time:
August 20th-August 30th (2006)

Rules:

-The map will be spazu_tr_hall. This map was made by me, especially for this contest. There's a download link below, so you can start practicing.

-The player will use an AWP, and shoot solo. Only the best score out of 3 rounds will be counted. These rules may change if there are additional events in the contest. If that happens, the rules for those events will be stated then.

-The player will be evaluated in the target range part of the map, where there are 3 shooting booths marked 0, 1 and 2. He or she will stand in the booth marked '1', then proceed to press the activator button and proceed to fire at the live zombie targets that fall from the ceiling in the hall.

-There are 20 zombies to kill, each in their own cell in the ceiling. There are a total of 24 cells. 5 seconds after the button is pressed, two cells will open. 5 seconds after that, two more cells will open. This will continue until all 24 cells are open. The zombies are pushed towards the player using a func_push. This will drop the zombies into the 3 holes and out of the player's line of sight. That means you'll only have a few seconds to kill each zombie. 5 seconds after the the last zombies have dropped, the door will close. 5 seconds after that, any unkilled zombies will be destroyed. You may attempt to shoot through the door to get a lucky shot in the 5 seconds between these events.

Registration:

Anyone registered on the forums can participate. To register, simply reply to this thread before August 20th and clearly state that you wish to participate in the contest, and the date (between the 20th and the 30th of August) and time (please include timezone) that you wish to be evaluated. If that time is inconvenient to us, we will attempt to negotiate a better time. When a date and time is agreed upon, we will private message you a server address and password. Use it when the agreed time rolls around. We will wait 15 minutes. If you are uncomfortable with this method, you can get in contact with us prior to the agreed time and work something out.

Svens Note: You must download the map before the challenge as it will not be placed on the webserver. If you wish to practice on normal bots download the zombie strike script
I will be running the challenges and keeping track of the scores so If we cannot work out a good time I am willing to run a challenge any time I'm free.

I'm very pleased with this indeed Cake, you really make things interesting.
You designed a map just for this eh? That's excellent for sure. I wasnt aware you were a mapper...or was that rapper? Ahem anyway.

I cannot honestly think of a better way to do this.I'm also quite pleased with the rules, and the application methods.

On that note, sign me up Charlie brown.

Oh , and Cake ole pal, nice job once again. Too bad we cant give you an award for Proper grammar and spelling, but the thought is still there.

I'll participate, it sounds fun. I can play anywhere in between the 20th and 30th, time is a bit tricky since I dont know certain times in different countries. I'm usually free all day but I haven't received any job offers yet so I'm still waiting for them. If anything comes up I'll let you know

Edit:

I've just tested the map and it was really good, I didn't use the ZSS Code but it was fun playing with regular bots. Also I think that modified versions of this map maybe useful for other weapon awards with similar rules as above. I'll place a list of ideas on possible awards in the suggestion section.

I did about 20 practice rounds and only got 6 kills out of 20 on one round, while others I got 3, 4, 2 and 1 Kills.

Also I got some tips for Non Awp Shooters.

1. Always aim for the zombies within the middle or farthest range.

2. Aim for the furthest away zombie from the pit, if you see a chance to waste a zombie that is closer to the pit go for it.

3. Try practicing with different moods. Playing music can help, leaving it off can also help or entirely muting all sound from the area.

4. Never waste more than 2 bullets on one zombie unless you have to!

5. For easier aiming, aim for the ones that walk, however if you can hit one while it runs then go ahead.

6. Choose your preffered box, I preffer shooting in the left hand box, practice to see which one your more used to.
