Hi Rockmaninoff, and welcome in the LDD official sets topic. It is a good start (good work with the formatting), but your post need to be fixed: LXF file is not shared with a direct link. Use a LEGO related hosting such as brickshelf or bricksafe, that are affordable and allow to host both images and lxf files and share that with hotlink. The image is irregular. Place carefully the elements in the scene. Take a screenshot at maximum resolution possible using CTRL+K in LDD (build mode), then crop (a 0-pixel crop, look at other regular images as example) and resize it (maximum size allowed here is 512x pixels for very large sets). Here is a guide that could help you to produce a good quality image for your entry. Set's data are incomplete (theme/subtheme missing). Did you built the set using official instructions? This is a minimum quality requisite. Please carefully read the rules of this topic in the first post. For any other question/help request contact me in private (you should reach 10 messages to enable private messaging).

Hi Withacee, and welcome in the LDD Official Sets topic. Your post is almost regular, you should fix the image (in the meantime I changed it in a text link, and changed some little thing in the layout). The image have to be an original screenshot (PNG with alpha channel), cropped (0-pixels) and resized (in your case, 384px wide should be a good size). Pleas read carefully the rules in the firs page. For any other question/help, contact me in private.

Package updated. Due to the recent changes in Bricklink, the script needed to be fixed. The script now works, but you need to use it in the "Classic" wanted lists view (it don't work with the new view). Brief list of changes: Fixed: The firegesture script don't recognize the page anymore. Fixed: The script is not capable to get data from minifigures, boxes, instructions, etc... Only parts seems to work. Does anyone knows if the new bricklink allows to natively export the wanted lists?

Hi legoboyvdlp, and welcome in the LDD Official Sets topic. Thanks for the contribution, but you need to fix some things in your post in order to be regular. The image is not regular (uncropped, deformed, with a background), so I changed it in a text link. You have to use a proper file hosting for the image lxf file and the image, not the forum attachment functionality. I suggest you to use a LEGO related hosting such as brickshelf or bricksafe, that are affordable and allow to host both images and lxf files and share that with hotlink. Please read carefully the rules in the first page of the topic, and look at other regular posts as example. For any question or help, contact me in private. EDIT: it seems it is not your first entry, so... re-welcome. So please fix both your entries, so I will add them to the index.

damn you... There are much more good entries than I thought. And among the last minute entries there are some that shakes my idea of which ones I'm going to vote. Ok, my votes are: #17 - 3 points (CM4Sci - Polar Explorers) #27 - 1 point (Pakita - The City Zoo) #33 - 1 point (legorevival - BRICKerature) Comments on some entries:

"Not indexed entries" post in the first page updated. Don't forget to inform LegoPegasister about that, so he can report in the post the correct LDD version of the files.

Hi lipanz, and welcome in the LDD official sets topic. Good work for a new entry, your posts are regular, but images are a bit large for such a small sets (especially the first and the third). It would be better to resize them a bit (I can suggest 256x for the first, 384x for the second and no more than 320x for the third entry). Another thing: try to post a single time in a day, grouping more entries in a single post. That would help me unburdening the indexing work.

Do you really think that something changes about this? These parameters are part of the present vote in the same way. The only difference is that before was required a separate vote (but with the great limit of a single choice) while now it is required to take both elements into account when you distribute the points. I think that the chance to specify more than one set is much more useful for the contest in order to have a more fair judgement. More points would be even better for me. Besides, frankly, I think that an entry should be realized as beautiful as possible, not as much as suitable to the contest possible. I hope the winner would win because he realized a great theme, not because he calculate the best way to obtain the higher vote studying the rules for voting. As I told previously, take it easy, this contest is for fun in the first place. Win one of the prizes is obviously a great thing, but I hope that participating and gather the appraisement for his own creation from other users is the real goal a builder should have. And this will surely occur regardless of the voting system adopted.

Yes, but this don't change the problem: you have to choose a single entry for each category. Eheh exactly. As change some rule was not a taboo anymore, why don't try to improve the voting phase? After all the new rules has been revealed before anyone could vote, so the changes should not be a problem.

Hi Pasq67, and welcome in the LDD Official Sets topic. Your entry is almost regular, you only have to crop the image (a 0-pixel crop, you have to completely remove the borders, take a look at other regular posts as example). Maybe you can find useful this guide, where you will find a "ready pack" that will allow you to crop and resize png screenshot with a single action. I've seen you used bricksafe for the lxf file, it would be better if you use it for the image too, maintaining the original PNG with Alpha Channel format. Hurry, the index will be updated very soon. For any question, reach 10 messages and contact me in private.

@sabertooth Even if I agree with you (rules should not be changed, except when some huge problem arises), I think you (and other builders) misinterpreted the reason why the rules has been changed. The aim of this contest is to make something funny. The aim of the rules was to avoid excesses from the builders and borderline entries. As you can notice from previous discussions, the strict interpretation of the rules was leading to excessive limitations (compared to the original idea of the organizers), so has been decided to make some concessions that would not make the contest go off the rails. Certainly the inexperience played a significant role in this case, but I'm sure that much as been learned from these mistakes and it will be useful for the next times. At the moment my idea is that the excessive "spirit of competition" of some builders is ruining the contest (for them, at least). My suggestion is... "take it easy" and have fun . With hindsight, maybe a contest with smaller prizes (the main prize, at least) would have been a better choice.

@bublible Superkalle told that he didn't examined the entries in details, so his comment was related to how the entries appear. When he will examine the entries in details, he will notice the excessive number of bricks and new colour combinations you reported above. The last lines are, frankly, an unjustified criticism. Besides these personal controversies have to be discussed in private.
