NOPE. first map alone is broken. Opens door to nothing. Inside sprites and thru walls. 2nd Map didnt even load. I had both parts 1 and 2 loaded so wtf.

just trash.

Very cool contest maps. I played them all and made a yt playlist.
I played some of the standalone, updated maps as well - was cool to see the differences.
Just had problems with two of the maps. StreetWar could not be loaded and
Consul had a red wireframe in the map - could not figure out which other addon/asset-pack to activate.

@Cunnah I will forever sing the praises of this classic HLA combat experience. Take care and be well.

Just checked the comments recently glad ppl are still enjoying this mod :)

@trgz My pleasure and glad you gave it a try!

@Skummeh Just played Police Station Raid (I'm exhausted!). I'll check out that sheet a bit more thoroughly but it looks like an excellent resource. Many thanks.

Gvarados hasn't updated that collection since a month after the contest ended so there might be some missing from there that have been moved to standalone... Not sure. Also a special thanks to Gvarados for hosting this awesome contest, which to this day still has some of the coolest Alyx maps I've played.

@trgz To save you the trouble of searching, you can utilize my rating and review Google Sheet referenced here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2443128935

In the first column, each map is linked to it's most current version, so you can determine from there if there is a more cleaned up version than the ones found in the contest pack. You can also reference my rating and review listed there to see if you even want to play the map, but of course keep in mind that my ratings are my personal opinion and you may not fully agree with them.

Steam blanket blocks all Google Drive links so you'll just have to trust me and ignore the warnings from Steam about potential malicious files within. Hopefully you find the rating sheet useful in finding more maps to enjoy!

FYI https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2105881717 seems to have a few standalones

Thanks. Police Station Raid & Club 17 on my list. I'll dig around to see if there's any other standalone maps - difficult to really give this collection an overall thumbs up or down, but the three winners definitely do (Shakedown played yesterday)

FYI the map Club 17 has been remade and released as it's own addon, lots of new content and a huge graphical overhaul. You can check it out here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2875043828

I ran this contest using bootleg tools that I made before the official workshop released. Some of these maps have been uploaded standalone but I think most are only on here.

@trgz Don't skip Police Station Raid. It's one of the best combat maps in the workshop, IMO. Has some story elements also.

Shame they all weren't released separately. The first one I started on ('Inhumane') seemed badly optimised to me for such a spartan map.
Only when I came to unsubscribe did I realise (remember) that this was a collection - I've played 2 of the 3 winners previously but still not sure I'd bother to play the rest, though I will check out that 3rd winner.

cumbine

I can't load any maps from this...I just get a never-ending loading screen and the framerate tanks...then I have to close steamvr and launch the game again. Anyone else having this issue? Other maps work fine and usually load in a few seconds.

thanks bro

There is not, you can play them in any order you like. Worth noting that the three winning maps have their own Steam Workshop pages now, so I'd suggest playing those versions since they contain updates.

is there an order to these maps?

This contest really has so many maps that hold up solidly today. I think my favorite was Police Station Raid. Made a playthru video here: https://youtu.be/EZ-g4_Q8K_w

Only just looked at the winners now I've played all maps. Not surprised. "Higgue" was an incredible map that felt up to the standard of the OG game. But there's lots to love here. Recommended.

Yup, maps can be launched from the HL:A menu, maps will show up as: "mc1_nameofmapauthor" after you enabled the addon.

Can this be launched in the HL:A menu? Or do I have to open the console and type in the map names?

This is a map collection with 23 separate maps, hence all the authors.

23 authors? Are you seriously ? even according to the screenshots here, one man build a map in one evening.

I'm on mobile so I can't get the link, but if you scroll up you'll see a workshop collection.

This contest was hosted before the workshop released. For my future contests, maps will be uploaded individualy.

Also, by subscribing to the top 3 maps directly (so we have the latest versions) and to both parts of the Mapping Contest subscription (which may have older versions of those same 3 maps), we're doubling up on at least 3 maps in terms of disk space.

Please list out all of those maps in the Mapping Contest which can be subscribed directly.

Thanks! You guys are awesome.

Hi, do we have a list of all maps in addition to the 3 winners mentioned above that can be subscribed to directly?

I assume the 2-part Mapping Contest subscription is taking up a massive amount of disk space and would be nice to unsubscribe and just subscribe directly to the individual maps.

A list of which maps can be subscribed to directly would be really appreciated.

Just played through Trevor's map Quickstop. Thoroughly enjoyed it, although that final fight was pretty tough. Definitely deserving of a Top 3 finish in the contest so I'm glad it got second place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIy9AxCmIck&feature=youtu.be

I'm running another mapping challenge. Check it out here: https://twitter.com/gvarados/status/1267890336417959969

Played through @moist fellow's map Consul from Mapping Contest 1. Enjoyed it, although thought some areas were a little too big and that the map was a bit short. Anyways, I did my gameplay with commentary this time, tell me what you think, thanks guys. :] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZIJpZ6Wv30

Did a video on @Cunnah 's map, Police Station Raid, was a lot of fun to playthrough, pretty challenging as well, definitely recommend. frosty7even is just wrong lmao https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fH4Sv6H7WU&feature=youtu.be

Hi frosty, The last section didn't work so well, had to roll back to an earlier version due to compile issues and I ran out of time to test and tweak. I am curious however what scripts and navigation were broken?

great map

Police station raid is just awful - spamming enemies, broken scripts and navigation, what a waste of potential

Here's a run of Benefactors Disturbance by Sox, a bit unoptimized:

Club 17 is incredible!

This contest was hosted before the workshop came out, so we couldn't do individual uploads.
For future contests, we're definitely having people upload their maps individually.

Some of the maps are awesome, others are not. That would be fine by me and sort of expected. What annoyed me so much is the fact that many of the maps have bugs - not compiled properly, pitch black rooms where flash turns off, level designs where you cant find where to go, you name it... It would be way better if those maps were as a separate addons so the great and polished ones could shine. This way they get lost in the mediocrity 🙄

Police Station Raid awesome map! Thanks Cunnah!

DHL Fleet, Glad you liked my map, I would say that with all the maps in this pack anything that came out is a miracle considering the "fun" I think everyone had getting there maps to the finish line with the unofficial tools.

P.S. The last battle for some reason the combine will get lost on the way to the doors. No idea why and when I test it they work perfectly cause they hate me :).

Spinfusor o7 Did you enable the addon in the add ons menu before launching the maps?

takes me back to the main menu when I try and load any of these maps

Join the discord for more info

In a few weeks

when are you guys hoping on dong the next contest

Pastry, they're all separate.
