'''DEADLINE: Monday 29 November''' - your entry must be ready for judging before midday GMT+0. It is strongly recommended you submit well before this time (sunday!) in case you run into troubles. Modifications to your submission are welcomed - the newest version of your entry will be judged, although modifications made ''after'' the submission date will not be judged.

=== Requirements ===
All entries must:
* be submitted as a SEL (see tutorial)
* make suitable use of folders to organise the lights and models
* have doorways or suitable plug pieces to enter/exit the room

Strong entries will:
* be distinctive, but suitable for use in a variety of modules
* make good and varied use of environment models
* make suitable use of VFX such as light rays, candle flames, etc where needed
* ensure that lighting looks good in-game

=== Suggestions ===
Forge, armory, servants' quarters, bedchamber, tavern bedroom, tavern drinking hall, feast hall, indoor stage theater, kitchen, dungeon, torture room, prison cell, mausoleum, creature's lair, chapel, training room, barracks, meeting room, dining room, vault, guardhouse, groundskeeper's lodge, stable.

=== Not Allowable ===
Please:
* do not cut-paste from a DAO level without making serious modifications to "make it your own"
* do not submit an entire level as your work. consider what will make USEFUL rooms for slotting into a module. For example, corridors are generally not useful for slot-ins.

=== Judges' Comments ===

Judges will leave comments both as contructive suggestions for the entrant and also as impartial guidance for any looking to make use of your work.

== Inn Bedrooms by Jackkel Dragon ==

* '''[http://www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1898 Dragon Age Nexus project page]'''

A small room including two bedrooms and a stairway down to a lower floor.

Note: There is a door way that leads to "nothing" on the same floor as the bedrooms; this can lead to another bedroom (or any other room) or replaced with a normal wall.

As this room uses interior lighting, I HIGHLY recommend reading this page to avoid wierd shadows: http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/74/index/4700291

Note: This is a .sel file, meaning it is imported into a room level through "import selection" from the edit menu.

PS: I was going to submit the tavern common room for this contest, but it seemed a bit sparse. Check out the inn in the module "Scars of War" to see this room and the common room side-by-side. ;)

== Dead Room by Shadow5973 ==

* '''[http://www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1901 Dragon Age Nexus project page]'''

There are two bedrooms connected by a short hallway with a body in each of the rooms. There is also a doorway in each room where they can be attached to a larger building interior. The bedrooms could be used for part of the inside of a house or similar building after an attack by bandits or darkspawn.

NOTE:
This a .sel file to be imported into the toolset.

'''Create an indoor room and export it as a SEL for other modders to paste into their levels.''' The contest discussion thread can be found [http://social.bioware.com/group/2535/discussion/12096/1180655/ here].

'''DEADLINE: Monday 29 November''' - your entry must be ready for judging before midday GMT+0. It is strongly recommended you submit well before this time (sunday!) in case you run into troubles. Modifications to your submission are welcomed - the newest version of your entry will be judged, although modifications made ''after'' the submission date will not be judged.

=== Requirements ===
All entries must:
* be submitted as a SEL (see tutorial)
* make suitable use of folders to organise the lights and models
* have doorways or suitable plug pieces to enter/exit the room
* contain lights to illuminate the room

=== Guidelines ===
Strong entries will:
* be distinctive, but suitable for use in a variety of modules
* make good and varied use of environment models
* make suitable use of VFX such as light rays, candle flames, etc where needed
* ensure that lighting looks good in-game

=== Suggestions ===
Forge, armory, servants' quarters, bedchamber, tavern bedroom, tavern drinking hall, feast hall, indoor stage theater, kitchen, dungeon, torture room, prison cell, mausoleum, creature's lair, chapel, training room, barracks, meeting room, dining room, vault, guardhouse, groundskeeper's lodge, stable.

=== Allowable ===
While no "bonus points" will be given for the following, entries may:
* include multiple rooms - particularly if creating a "tileset of rooms".
* include custom props - if you do this you must state clearly on the contest page that your entry is using custom assets. ''Please avoid this unless absolutely necessary for your room - we want these SEL files to be as easily usable as possible.''

=== Not Allowable ===
Please:
* do not cut-paste from a DAO level without making serious modifications to "make it your own"
* do not submit an entire level as your work. consider what will make USEFUL rooms for slotting into a module. For example, corridors are generally not useful for slot-ins.

=== Judges' Comments ===

Judges will leave comments both as contructive suggestions for the entrant and also as impartial guidance for any looking to make use of your work.

== Inn Bedrooms by Jackkel Dragon ==

* '''[http://www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1898 Dragon Age Nexus project page]'''

A small room including two bedrooms and a stairway down to a lower floor.

Note: There is a door way that leads to "nothing" on the same floor as the bedrooms; this can lead to another bedroom (or any other room) or replaced with a normal wall.

As this room uses interior lighting, I HIGHLY recommend reading this page to avoid wierd shadows: http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/74/index/4700291

Note: This is a .sel file, meaning it is imported into a room level through "import selection" from the edit menu.

PS: I was going to submit the tavern common room for this contest, but it seemed a bit sparse. Check out the inn in the module "Scars of War" to see this room and the common room side-by-side. ;)

== Dead Room by Shadow5973 ==

* '''[http://www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1901 Dragon Age Nexus project page]'''

It is two rooms connected by a short hallway with a body in each of the rooms. It could be used for the inside of a house after an attack by bandits or darkspawn.

NOTE: This a .sel file to be imported into the toolset.

=== Why reserve an ID range? ===
This prevents the need for other modders to change your strings. This prevents any chance of overlapping IDs with other entries or other mods. This means that if you attach voice to conversations, or specify a StringID in a 2da, these connections will not be broken when others use your mod.

=== How many do I reserve? ===
Just take 1000 unless you need more. Do not take less, we've got plenty to spare ;)

=== How do I set my module to use those strings? ===

* While logged in to builder wiki (same as login here), edit the page to put your name next to the range.
* In Toolset, go File > Manage Modules > (select your module) > Properties
* Set the following:
** StringID Begin
** StringID End
** StringID Last Used
* Hit OK and close dialogue.

Currently, we have not reserved any ranges on [[2DA_ranges_in_use|The 2da reserve page]]. If you require a 2da range, please contact [http://social.bioware.com/145661/ mikemike37]
