It depends on who was in the server. I know chase tests a fair bit online for various things he is working on. Could be anyone though as the room names can be whatever you want. When I'm testing CAPs I've built I'll name my rooms accordingly.

GG'z to all! I played FL1P's CAP and enjoyed it, well deserved win. Stoked to pull in a tie for second, ThEAm's was really great too.

I like the idea for a Wild theme- I think I can work with that.

Good stuff- looking forward to the next one!

My name stems all the way back to a nickname I had in High School. Good buddy of mine called me 'Dode'- but that's almost always taken so I go by Dodeman or even TheDodeman' but most just shorten it to Dode.

Gosh oldest screenshots? Man I can dig some up from jway back when I'll have to see what I can find.

The reason for so little submissions is because this theme is very complicated.

I disagree. I think this theme was fine- there were more than enough options to work with...not everyone will love every concept for a theme, but that's what makes it interesting- even if you aren't loving the idea you can still brainstorm and come up with something cool.

I think we should end this one here, judge, and ThAEm, the obvious winner, picks another theme.

Not sure if that was meant to be a joke or? Not very cool to state who "the obvious winner" is without any judging taking place yet. That just craps on the rest of us who took the time to submit entries.

Got my submission wrapped up this evening. Revamped a CAP I made after THUG2 first came out.

The COMBO goal took me forever to complete, but I think that makes it fun.

Good luck to all participants!

I kind of wish some of it's levels (Moutain) were recreated for THUGPRO

Mountain was OK- likely the best level on the game imo. I always have mixed emotions about linear levels like that (DHJ as well)- it's kinda fun to feel like you travelled down a long hill or mountain, but I like being able to travel around in a more open world type concept too, makes for more interesting lines, prov feels more free, etc. I did like the Rooftops level on THPS5 too, some good lines on there.

Sounds fun! I might re-make a concept I did years ago...

General THPS(X) / Re: Boost Revert Park (No Speed Loss From Reverts)

« on: November 09, 2016, 06:29:21 pm »

Nice!

Parks like this were fairly common when the boosters first were introduced. Have you ever played EvilGod's 'SuperScraper'? http://thpsx.com/thpsparks/parks/EG%20SuperScraper.PRK It has stacked booster walls and then rails running in a grid all along it- there are hundreds of gaps on it, so your score gets racked up incredibly quickly when playing it. I always like to host it and play Score Challenge and see who can land like 10,000,000 first.

So fun to always mess with the realms of what can be done.

Was everyone happy with the "5 Gaps, 3 Goals" rule?

Yup. I'm a huge proponent of gaps and goals, makes CAPS more interesting imo.

Another idea would be to require the use of a specific CAP piece, like you must incorporate a skyscraper piece, or mega-ramp piece, etc.

I'm happy with 5th- especially since I haven't built a CAP in so long. Grats to ThAEm on the W!

Try some criticism/feedback! I would love some more in-depth analasys of what the judges think, rather than some summed up numbers and a ranking list. I'm glad you guys liked my entry, but I can't say for myself what you guys liked about it.

I agree- it would be great top have a breakdown of at least how each park was rated per category it was judged in. That is helpful for the builders to know where/how they can improve. Fully know how long it takes to do all of this reagrdless, but that little piece could be useful for all future builds.

I'll do this again as I enjoyed it! Thanks a TON to all of the judges for taking the time to do this!!
