Last question for the contest I think, how is everyone taking screenshots with no gradient behind their asset? For example, this image has no gradient, unlike any shot in the AnimSet Editor. Are these types of shots taken in the AnimSet editor, or someplace else within the SDK? Or is this done in Photoshop to remove the gradient?
Edit: Never mind, I just masked out the gradients in photoshop. Quite the pain in the rear, but it was faster than looking for a work around.
Does anyone know why I cant upload the files to Steam? I've been trying for 1,5 hours before the deadline and it just says "Error uploading file. Make sure you got a valid connection to Steam." Everything is fine with my internet connection , accounts, everything. It sucks that I couldn't submit because of this.
Email us your submission at Polycountcontest@tornbanner.com - well try to sort out your issues and make sure you will not be disqualified.
Hey, I'm looking at the chivalry workshop page and I don't see anything about instructions for submitting my entry, or any button/page that allows me to upload files.
How long is it taking for the tax information to be verified for everyone? It seems like most peoples items are getting onto the public page, but I'm still waiting for verification.
I went through it once on steam and it didn't seem to go properly, so I did it in my browser, I got all the way to the end and it said "Exit Interview" or whatever, so I assumed it was done?
When I clicked that it took me back to the item page, but it still says Payment Information Required.
A: Eclypse had this issue aswell, just in case you missed it I want to remind you that you wont be disqualified. http://www.polycount.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2148481&postcount=127 just go ahead with all the other submission steps and well work it out on a case by case basis.
Guys i cant launch chivalry anymore.
UDK content browser had no content sdk folder so i verified the game cache, since i could find any explanation, and steam said 7 files were missing. The download starts at full speed but then it slows down till i get connection timed out. The size of missing files should be 75kbs. I really dont know what to do.
Edit - When i try to update something else the download has no issues
Quicky:
I used Auto Convex Collision to create the collission model and returned this, is this a valid collission mesh or is the red indicating I fucked up?
A: set the depth slider to the minimum (1) when you do the auto collision, sorry this is just one of those things. I should mention it in the documentation.

I had to submit my entry because of the deadline and I did not know I would need to have the person I am collaborating with on my friends list on steam so I could not add him there. Not that I am going to win but is there anything we can do to add him later?
Just a few last hours left and having a major issue..tried everything i can think of...
i imported a long sword into maya....detached the bones , made sure my sword was teh same size, attached the bones to mine ( deleted history all that) and export my sword out......in udk my sword is still ginormous
no clue what to do here...ive got everything rigged and set in game, didnt have the same issue with helmet
No one seems to have a clue whats going on, no matter how i resize the sword in maya it becomes giant in udk, im going to have to submit a giant sword, better then a months work down the drain.

I think some of the example FBXs have the scale go weird when you import them into maya. But in max they are alright. If you have access to max I would re-export it from there maybe?
otherwise try scaling it by 2.54 which is the cm to inches conversion. I think some of them were having that problem.
EDIT: sorry i glazed over that you already tried scaling it. Try the max thing if you can.
Also have you tried bringing it into a new file and recreating the bones from scratch to see if that works?
Thanks for the reply, tried both, no avail. No access to max here. I even eye balled it and scaled it down in maya then reimported it....the udk word remains just as large and doesnt even change after scaling. I have my submission setup all ready to go just trying to figure this out first.
Guys i was able to upload my set to tagged "polycount contest" but i couldn't post to final submissions before it was closed. Does it count?
A: Unfortunately since you did not make a post in the final submissions thread as per the contest rules, you are not eligible for the contest.
You can still receive upvotes on your workshop submission. After integrating the contest winners, we may decide to add more items to the game based on what our community seems to gravitate towards.
would really like help. I spent an entire month working on this, and other unfinished projects. It was uploaded at 6 Oct @ 11:13am, but somehow the file size is 0.

I am also wondering the same thing. I didn't realize that the steam workshop required bank and tax info and by the time i figured it out the final submissions thread closed.
yeah, that 'exit interview' button really ruffled my helmet plume for a bit there. There's a separate window that opens behind the exit interview window, and you have to press ok first.
Is there any way to update the workshop thumbnail? Really not a fan of what I uploaded and was hoping there's a quick way like in Dota to just replace it without messing with the actual submission upload.
Also, @N4meless, that sucks man . You know, I coulda swore the original competition page said the 7th. I know of a couple other people including myself that believed it was the case as well, until we found out yesterday that WHOOPS it was the beginning of the 6th
Same here I looked at it just few days ago and when I saw monday that was enough for me not to look at the time Then I read your comment in your thread hahaha I would also change few things if there was a way but I doubt it .
I am also going to repeat my question from the previous page here as it is important and I would like to get it resolved, sorry for the spam:
At the time of the submission I did not have Pior ( who's concept I was using) on my friends list on steam and I could not add him for the revenue sharing. Is there anything we can do to just fix that?
Thanks in advance guys.
I feel really bad for you guys I almost suffered the same fate. I'm sure players would want as many helmet options as possible though, so definitely go through with uploading it to the workshop.
The ending to this contest feels kind of anti-climatic, I was expecting some sort of World of Warcraft guild party, or something. Where's the dwarven ale?

Don't feel to bad we don't get a chance to compete now but there is still the chance of them getting in later on. I am definitely up for some mead or ale or both. Wish more competitions/challenges like this would come along.
I would also love to find out if at some point they will be accepting more items as I would love to make more
A: Given the both the quality and quantity of awesome items produced from this contest, it is fair to say that we will most likely be accepting more items into the game in the future. We also encourage participants who may have missed the deadline to finish their entries and upload them to the workshop anyway for future consideration
with the upload tool from the chivalry sdk. there should be your already uploaded entry with some number in brackets. Just select that leave everyting as it is and choose athe updated preview image.
It gives me this : Error uploading file. Make sure you got a valid connection to Steam, and that's when I browse again to find my zip file.
If I do as you say, without touching anything except choosing the thing with a number in brackets, well it tells me to input a valid directory in UDKGame/CookedPC..."

Wanted to do this too, but there wasn't a 'browse file' area to update with. I guess it's not too big of a deal though, at least it's in the workshop.
In the competition description,it was "strongly encouraged" to make a set,if you modeled either just a helmet or just a weapon,will it hurt your chances in this competition?

Few clicks with Magic Wand works for me

Also Thanks Dylan, it finally went through.

EDIT: yeah, solution was to have the right side checked and left side unchecked.

Did it close nicely for anyone else?
Edit - There was a window behind it, man that was a pain!

I will submit it but not for the polycount contest next time i will make a double check on the date.
If it makes you feel better your not the only one who made the exact same mistake
Also, @N4meless, that sucks man

That doesn't makes me better but if feel less lonely
I uploaded it to the workshop with the polycount contest checked I'm not eligible for the contest but maybe i can pass the player choice
But it's a great lesson, always check the date and be sure you read it well (don't forget to ask if you have a doubt)

I had a ton of ideas just didn't have time to execute them. This is exciting!
