wtf? ? ! page: 1 2 3
epidiOn	I make maps to make maps. It's fun, I think. But in regards to commenting, most of the time I don't feel right commenting maps by Lis, SP, trcc, boongee, Travin, panschk, etc. because they're better mappers than I am. I figure they don't really need my advice, or they know better anyways.

Listoric	Well, in my case, i always love to see a comment on a map, no matter how experienced the mapper is, as long as the comment or critics makes sense. I also want to help and educate newer mappers. It's also hard for them to see the differences between "their" and "our" maps. It's pretty much like Quake4. I loved Q3A and i was pretty good in it. But i have no idea what a Q4 map should look like, just guessing. And i wouldn't have an idea why an other map is better than the rest. That comes with experience. Anyway. I also create maps just for fun, and if just two people think they want to play just one single game on a map of mine, my goal is accomplished. It's all about fun, and i had a lot of fun playing my or other maps around here. Still, people should focus on improving their skils and their maps. I know it from myself. I thought i was finished with a map and started a new one short time after it. NOW i know 80% of my maps were unfinished and not thought through. Now they are. Long learning process.

epidiOn	Yeah I recently went back and tried to fix some of my old maps that I had thought were 'finished.' Having a new comment is always nice, that's true. But you say "as long as the comment or critics makes sense"... well I for one don't know if it makes sense or not. I recognize that people here are generally better map makers than I am, so I find it hard to criticize because I figure, "they probably know better." Which is okay with me. Alright well RE: flaming and comments, how about this? If you want somebody specific to check out your map and comment on it, send them a PM with the fancy new system! They'll check their PM's, check out your map, comment on it. Problem solved, right? Just be respectful of other people's time and time zones :).

LGI	You can't get respect from 12 year old boy, or from a bad mannered person. Sometimes i think they do this on purpuse... P.S. SP? A CS map? Lol! I bet this is very hard with the 3D stuff... Good luck. Btw when i am reading how Listoric is a mapper in other games, and SP too, and mayby some other mappers. I feel like a big newb in mapping. I only make roller coasters in Roller Coaster Tycoon all series, wich i am prety good in it :), but i stop doing them, after i start seriusly with BW mapping.

epidiOn	<3 Roller Coaster Tycoon.

LGI	Btw i always wonder what is <3 ???
2006, 01, 06 07:54
Starparty	that is why i would like to see the site divided into 2 sections - the newbie educational part -and- the elite mapmaking crew. And we will present refined maps to be used in tours and such. If a user adds a really spectacular map the mapmaking crew can adopt it and refine it toghether. ofcourse credits will be given blabla

ScoutWBF	That is a great idea except that I wouldn't let my map get changed by other persons
2006, 01, 06 13:47
Starparty	that would be a prerequisitee for uploading a map. If you dont accept that it would be perfected by the elite team, then you shouldnt have uploaded in the first place...
2006, 01, 06 13:53
Starparty	and LGI, <3 is a heart meaning "i love"
2006, 01, 06 13:53
LGI-	<3 all :D
2006, 01, 06 15:42
epidiOn	Scout, how come?
2006, 01, 07 00:46
ScoutWBF	What how come?If it's my map I don't want it to get edited by others like I don't edit maps by others even if they ask me to.

epidiOn	Yeah, I understand what you're saying. I know what you mean. But I mean 'why?'
2006, 01, 07 02:52
Listoric	Yeah, I understand what you're saying. I know what you mean. But I mean 'why?'

Starparty	I think the problem is that this site seems to be too much of a democracy. (or anarchy for that matter) I believe not half of the users here know that panschk owns the site. Mabye Admin icons aren't such a bad idea after all. Just because we can threaten with removing a users map if he behaved bad doesnt mean we have to do it if he changes his attitude to the better. We need to have the upper hand to stop behaviour like this imo.

SpoR	I'm not envolved in this, so I won't say anything or read anything.
2006, 01, 07 13:52
epidiOn	I don't think admin icons could possibly hurt.
2006, 01, 08 02:47
panschk[FP]	Anything that takes away time from my college work can very well hurt right now. I don´t think I will do updates before mid february. I know some little script changes could be done fast, the problem is if I do I will spend much too much time reading, writing comments and changing minor details too here. That's just the way I am :/

Starparty	in any other community Mösq would be banned for his worthless behaviour. I believe this is a perfectly good reason not to let him participate in anything before his mommy raises him with a bit of manners.
