Judging Examples (maps):
Creative Liberties (if applicable): Basically, if you added new and improved scripts etc to make it cool, that is a good thing.
Textures & Geometry: Minimal flickering or seeing-through of walls and textures, texture colors and appearance, solid geometry (no falling through floors, walking through walls, etc).
Detail Level: Are all of the objects there? Trees, shrubs, cars & other vehicles, etc. Have any been added that look cool (exploding mines, furniture, etc.)?
Spawn Points: Do players spawn where they are supposed to?
Functionality: Do the doors work? Does glass break? Are vehicles scaled correctly?
Weather: What kinds of weather effects does the map have? Feel free to take some liberties with this one.
Multiple game type compatibility: Does the map work in all available game types?.
From us here at MODSonline we wish you the best of luck.
