Senna's fixed the description now; said before that it was left the same to give full credit to IceXuick.

Not really. Regardless of what senna does, this feature is still desired to prevent future retardedness.

It's the choice of mappers what games work on it.

I think just ignoring the maps wind value is already stretching it.

Oh really? If you make a map and balance it for "BA wind" then no other game should be able to use it?

GUNDAM

very cool! but what's up with the metalmap?

Its made for gundam.

Gave the finger to all non-gundam games and mods.

He did what was possible, used an exploit. Like you do very often. What's the difference here?

Same as comparing art with taking a dung.

Definatly art.

Touche.

[smoth]

wtf are you asking for? what is the issue, I don't understand.

[SirMaverick]

It's the deceit that irked me. He placed his mod into a map and piggyback off the most popular mod name "Balanced Annihilation" to get people to play it. This is wrong because
[*]People who know they want to play BA are tricked into playing another mod and their time is wasted.

Speed*: A Newbie could assume he plays BA there. Description states buzzard war or nuke war. Does this clearly indicate, that nothing else is possible?

[*]New people to spring will assume this is BA and that's a false impression which is unfair to the makers of BA.

Similar arguments can be made for CA (see).

Every single term needs to be learnt, jargon or otherwise. I think the keyword 'special' is less clear than a mod option with a short explanation under the mod options tab.

Anyway I don't think this thread should be about the deceit involved in obscure map naming, there's already a thread for that. This thread should be for requesting a little tick box in the lobby called "use map special stuff".

MAP OPTIONS

This needs cooperation from the map maker. Image *special stuff*(not yet clearly defined) put into a map without any map option to en- or disable this. You only have the choice to play the map with special stuff or no to play the map at all.
This feature request is about another choice: letting the player decide to play the map without the special stuff even if the map maker is not cooperative.

yes, yes it does.

Image *special stuff*(not yet clearly defined) put into a map without any map option to en- or disable this.

so you are butthurt over the mapper choosing to impliment a feature you don't like? How dare that dastardly mapper!

You only have the choice to play the map with special stuff or no to play the map at all.

Yeah, it is a bitch isn't it, someone makes a map with odd features and if you don't like it you don't play it!

this is a feature request to compromise the vision of a mapper to shoehorn what you want.

[Regret]

Yes. Some people don't care what the mapper intended and just want to use the heightmap. Just as people disable units in games that they don't like. It worked out fine for starcraft, there is no reason it will not work out for Spring.

then extract the heightmap.

[Otherside]

SME can extract height maps and theres a lua widget that does it to.

Unnecessary and unreasonable hassle.
