You read correctly; If you’re creative and gifted artistically, now is your chance to help.
WE want to experiment with allowing players to vote on a map before joining a Sassilization game. I already know that I want the players to be teleported into a remote area of the Lounge map (probably the void) and then get a VGUI screen which gives them 20 seconds to vote which map to play. If you have any ideas on how the system should look, please make a mockup and post a link to the image in a comment as well as your forum username. I will no longer be needing mockups by Friday (6/12) so hurry up and open photoshop or whatever program you’re comfortable with.
What is your motivation? I don’t know…. Maybe you like the idea?

Here we go!:

Keep it straightforward and along the same theme as the lounge. I think that the More button or searchbar could just be replaced with a scroll bar, but, a search feature would be neat.

These are really nice. I’m impressed at your speediness. When Friday comes we will have a poll on the Forum with everyone’s mock up and let everyone vote for the best one.
Well I made a quick one, bassically I think it will be better to put the map into categories, my idea was small maps, medium maps, and big maps.
Say 3 people went into a sever they don’t want a huge map they want a reasonably small one. With categories it will tell them which maps are big or w.e
So this was a quick mock up I did and bassically there are 3 things to click
Small, Med, Big you click on one of these and then a little box appears with the list of maps that are “big” for instance.

I made a quick one like Cyborg did, but it should pretty much give you the a good idea on what it is.
Like Cyborg, there is a small, medium and large category for maps. There is also the map icon for the selected map in particular as well as one on the bottom for the map that is being voted the most by the other voters during the vote. It shows the top 3 voted maps and how many votes they are getting. Pretty it up with the sass theme and all of that other fancy jazz and you’ve got yourself the vote menu I suggest.
Copying is the biggest form of flatery
Anyway.. Sass I think you should combine all the aspects of the good ones togther to make an epic one. If you know what I mean.
Calvins and The rippers look GREAT!
Rippers looks the best because it fits more into the style of the lounge.
Ripper’s Is a Winner fo sho.
Rippers looks the best because it fits more into the style of the lounge.
well i think calvins and rippers both fit into lounge style.
and i too think that cold or sass should combine them both.
nice work all of u!
Hey guys, saw this at college, got home gave it a little wack. Hope it’s okay
Please remember to zoom in! It looks rubbish from far away.

(p.s The countdown number changes to amber at 5 and red at 3)
Oops! ps, my forum name is
boofy
(duh)
and after reading the news again, the countdown colours would change but its up to sas and cold to decide at what numbers… if my idea is even voted for >.> thanks guys!
Are you people serious ?
calvin1337′s was the best and should be used, it has the best form and shape.
Wow boofy, yours looks great. and thanks for the replys by everyone else O.o i didnt think it was that good.
Looks like Boofy’s is probably the best one right now in my opinion.
calvin’s is dull and like 1 color. Boofys ftw
I agree, Boofy is the best so far, Only thing im curious about though is how it will be a pop up. The design is great but isnt it a bit big?
Here’s what I think should be used:
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y120/CrashBaco/map_vote_concept.png
Oh, forum username = my name
crashlemon’s looks good
You mispelled ‘your’
But lookin good
CrashLemon’s is my favorite so far in the way it looks; Calvin1337′s is my favorite so far in functionality. I like how Calvin’s shows how many votes the map has. I don’t think I like the Leaderboard replicated ones (with the blue/white rows from the leaderboard). I’m not too sure about the ‘pass vote’ idea on Boofy’s.
I like that last one.
Nng, forum username is “Elite”
Calvins should win, 100%. I love the format
Wtf, my post disappeared?

#2 (confirm) – http://i42.tinypic.com/14wyvsn.png
Basically, two ideas, number 1 is okay, I prefer #2 though. #2 (confirm) is the confirmation screen for a vote.
Basically you click on a map, it comes you, yes/no, the vote goes to the top right corner, you can chat, etc.
Thanks for all the replys and stuff. And i’m willing to change it and take out the “pass vote” if you like. Theres alot more i could do to it… and i thought it may be too big but if you think about it, you get teleported to a dif part of the lobby, it could be on the wall like the when you watch the games or it could pop up. but either way it would be able to fit. if not i’d remake it so it does =]. Great work guys!
boofy, tophatman, Calvin or rippers
Im stuck for who to vote for.
I like them all, particularly CrashLemons due to the map preview and interface it brings
are we allowed to review ours? Im tempted to remove the checkbox on mine and replace it with the number of votes. Then just have a single click to view map image, and double click for vote.
Why does my post keep disappearing
Nobody likes mine
haha
@TheRipper
Absolutely, you can submit as many as you want but I will only put the latest one on the poll.
Also, everyone try to remember that dynamic text can’t really have the filter effects most of you are adding (like bevels and gradients). This is why CrashLemon’s is the best so far, it looks great and it is super simple (It just needs a a chat box [maybe]). I Don’t think we need to show how many votes a map has when only 6 people are voting. I plan to have it show 6 maps at random and give 5 seconds for voting and then it will have a tie breaker vote only showing the top two maps voted for.
TopHat Man for the win.
Well, taking your recommendations, showed only six maps, removed borders from the text, and made it a more point and click interface rather than scroll.

confirm screen: http://i44.tinypic.com/2zye5ix.png
Then again, nobody has given me any feedback, so this will probably be the final one, as there’s no point in trying if nobody likes the style, haha
After doing some brainstorming and doodling on a piece of paper I came up with this idea. While being a little more fancy then most and a bit more coding would be involved, I think it looks kinda cool :-p

Boxes Out:http://www.theillmatic.com/storage/sasst.png
I have some other ideas but finished this first and wanted to get it up so enjoy
Hoppins wins. But of course sass will probably pick a more simple one.
Just a quick redo of mine
http://stramic.com/images/sass.jpg
oBviously the borders are overdone but its just a concept
Anyways, Hope you like. And holy hell Hoppins. How can we compete
Haha I’ll take that as a compliment Ripper and thank you
. Unfortunately the practicality of it will probably be its downfall hehe but we shall see! and sorry for the one link not working, I didn’t put a space between it :-p
My plan was to have the top part scroll side to side as you move your mouse either right or left. Once you select a map, it would bring up map information along with a mini map. Hope you like it
Because Sniper Seems to be bugged and can’t post lol I shall relay his comments about his design :-p
Sniper:
“My plan was to have the top part scroll side to side as you move your mouse either right or left. Once you select a map, it brings up map information along with a mini map icon. Hope you like it.”
I really like most of these submissions, with special intrest for Sniper’s, Hoppin’s and maybe Lemon’s.
Although i can see that one of the simpler layouts will win as the others would be bitches to code
I like snipers better. But i also like hoppins alot.
Snipers seems the best IMO. Crash’s is real close. but i dunno. Something about Snipers says “Sassilization” if you understand what im babbling about
Guys don’t forget we’ve all posted concepts and Sass can merge any of them together if he wants.
We’re giving ideas and he can do whatever he wants with them, he doesn’t have to presisely remake one of the concept…
Sad to say it but I think Sniper’s is the best.
Do Sniper’s. It looks good and even shows you a overview of the map itself.
IMO Sniper’s FTW…. Should def be used.
Personally i feel sniper has won by a long shot, but dont worry hoppins urs is fine too (^_^).
I don’t think we even need a poll, from the feedback alone I think I know sniper’s is the best choice. And the easiest to develop.
I kept on meaning to make a mock-up map of this, but kept forgetting.
Maybe a 4×4 (or however many maps there are) grid of those plates you stand on to connect to a sass server, and each of them corresponds to a certain map. I think this would give a more immersive feel, and it could be made to perfectly fit the theme of sass.

My idea:
