You need to host it - ;)

How to enter: Create the document, and drop an email to competition@bit-tech.net with the subject line 'Valve Blackmesa Competition'. In your email, include a link to somewhere we can download your entry - don't email it to us, otherwise we'll be stuck with hundreds of megabytes of email to try to download.

No problem, I can host it then. I had read the rules... just forgot.

Cleric: I'm doing one file. Seems pointless creating two seperate files.

My project is about 40MB as .pdf. I have 10pages ready. Ill probably send the mail today...

Doesnt ISP give you webspace with your internet connection? In Finland every ISP does that.
Quote Pookeyhead 20th November 2006, 07:43
yes it does, but i was worried that if people download it more than once, or more than one downloads it, then I'll exceed my webspace download limit. My files are quite large. No bother... there's plenty of free hosting available. I'm struggling to find teh time to finish it as I always do, so it will probably be teh last minute when I do upload it anyway - it's not like it will be sat on there for days.

My ISPs webspace, and directly from my home webserver as a backup.

Nope - it allows me to get everything pixel perfect

Photoshop and InDesign to make it, and filexoom to host it.
Quote Cleric_silencer 24th November 2006, 21:41
now the suspense is on, it would be interesting to see what everyone came up with?
Quote Pookeyhead 24th November 2006, 22:04
True. I suppose now the deadline is past there's no harm in it, but I think I'll play my cards close to my chest. Besides... once the winner is announced, there will be all kinds of "Mine was better than that" kinds of whining... best leave it as it is I think.

What exactly did you get from Deviant art that you used in the article? I was under the impression that you couldn't use anyone else's work and just had to either create your own, or just use the images supplied in the article.
Quote:
There are some crucial conditions:

* The document should use pictures and text from the two Blackmesa II worklog articles: here and here.
* The document should be colour and printable on A4 - there's no limit to the number of pages.
* Don't use copyrighted works other than directly from the bit-tech site - keep it original.

Surely that rules out using anything off deviant art... unless you were the author of the work? Or did you mean you used it just for hosting the files? You probably did... just checking.
