Spring RTS Engine

I was jk, it's an art form, I agree.

fuck smoth.

I'm not trying to attack smoth or say his point was wrong (the point of his whole post). Of course it only makes sense to balance your time/resources to maximize playability/fun/etc, and that should include "pretties" and whatever else. Obviously, smoth knows much more about modding than I...

Dumbest sentence ever.

Wow, this is a lot of great feedback and a ton of good ideas for new maps... It's funny you guys mention "reinventing" gameplay, or using existing gametypes in new ways, because thats probably the way hunter became really well-known in UT, his map Maelstrom took ONS and added the fast pace...

bumped for sweet ass pics

Meh, in my experience it hasn't been very useful. People who aren't really smurfing get labeled as such for various reasons (I take my computer to a friends house to LAN and I get labeled, for example), and people who want to smurf without being known still can (proxy, like Dragon said). I've never ...

The metal was my first complaint to hunter when he first made the map, the biggest reason I don't like it is because it forces certain play patterns, and I like maps that encourage playing uniquely... That said, I still like this map a lot better than SSB, and it's still fun to play =) Edit: The sol...

Enough of the hating on hunter, as well. My point wasn't about hunter at all, it was about taking the time to concieve your map and learn the tools. Obviously saying no one produces anything good their first time was completely wrong, as I haven't even been around here long and have seen the opposit...

I strongly agree w/ Erom, metal maps may not be as strategic and complex overall as non-metal maps, but SpeedMetal definitely gives the idea a bad name hehe

Dividing by zero is actually done regularly in some fields and merely depends on what you define to be zero and the rules you set for its division. That being said, neither that guys definition nor the several other often used definitions have much (if any) usefulness in common mathematics. i (or j ...

Hunters probebly made quite a few maps before Tangerine. Just didn't release them cause they are...well, cause they're like this map. It's a good start. But normally, even the best of starts are horrible. God knows my first map was craptastic. Actually, I know him IRL and personally witnessed him l...

manored, I think you need to take some time to refine whatever concept you're going for and do it right. I mean, if the island has any value, the map can't possibly be balanced if it's randomly offset, and if the island doesn't have value whats the point? It's not eye-candy, thats for sure. My point...

I'm similar to you, Swift, I like to stick to a small number of maps, the important thing to me is that people shouldn't be afraid to try something new and make a map popular if it is good. I think Spring players are pretty good at this. I don't like to play a diff map everytime at all, but it's alw...

That game last night was pretty good, the metal is much more evenly distributed than SSB and the large middle area allows for better action. Community reaction has also been very good, which is critical. The map already has a good amount of downloads and I usually see a game being played everytime I...

While, yes, I agree that there are a lot of people who probably aren't going to DL and try a map until it's uber-popular, no matter what... I really think what makes it hard for your map is that it looks so different. I've seen very recently released maps that look very similar to already popular ma...

Yet you're the one saying that 2 color settings are "your work" its that simple. Syn next time you want to use the color 0.785 0.784 0.784; you contact me ok. For skys like this: http://www.unknown-files.net/index.php?page=browse&dlid=1972 I'm sure it is that simple. I'm don't make ma...

The point is you can make anything SOUND simple if you try.

And will someone please answer my question why it is such a big deal to send a PM?

It is not "your work". It is simply a setting. Yea, and paintings are simply oil and dye thrown on a canvas, whats your point? Why are you trying to make it sound so simple, hunter literally worked hours to set those values, its about the sky they produce. Flames Removed - Moderator

Assuming 2 decimal places thats 1 million combinations per line, even copying 2 lines thats 1 billion possible combinations. Just because something is two lines doesn't mean it's any less work. You should be taking screenshots of the sky and telling me THATS what he copyed, because THATS what matter...
