@forb: BA !=all ta based spring mods = the attitudes of whoever you were calling stupid != the attitude of everyone modding ta based mods.

The XTA modding team are pretty dedicated to trying to "unfuck" the mod, which imo is a lot less "fucked" than BA/AA 5.0 whatever you want to shout about.

This post may well be off topic and pointless, but i am _really_ sick of the flaws of BA being cited as reasons why all other TA based mods suck.

My initial postings in this thread were, i suppose, a malformed attempt at pointing out that we are undergoing a glut of shallows/island hopping maps at the moment, and as one the most talented, and certainly the most prolific map makers in the community, I thought that offering my thoughts on how said map setup can affect gameplay might have had some impact on the maps you make in the future. It unfortunately seems to have devolved into "MAI MOD IS BEZT!!ELVENTYONE!!"

I don't know about that agorm, thing is that we have binoculars sensors etc and spring maps are not that big.

Well this all comes down to the scale of the mod, so realy we can't argue how "big" the maps are, however point taken.

Not that it matters anyway, was just floting somthing...

Anyway, on there being a glut of island hoping maps... so what? theres also plenty of the other sort already. what goes around comes around?

Pintle, dude, seriously, take a pill and take the time to read instead of skim.

#1, XTA is 100% off of the grid of ta mods, it is not even trying to imitate ta's gameplay, so therefore it has no bearing with what I said.

#2, maybe you've forgotten that I absolutely love BOTA, and I plan to try NOTA tonight, cause according to fang and others it's made of win.

Excuse me? I never referred to anyone as stupid, you were the one that called me stupid, stop putting words in my mouth.

I appreciate the compliment, but I wish that it wasn't a pat on the back followed by a kick in the balls in the future.

I said previously that I understand what you mean, and explained what my intention was with the "Glade" "Series" of maps. I am fully aware that maps such as this don't do super well in TA type mods because of many reasons.

#1, it's not my mod.
#2, I have put a lot of work into EE from grunt work, balancing work, to graphics and sound work. Don't be real surprised if it's my favorite. Same would be said of BOTA if I did work on that mod (which I have considered BTW, but I dunno who the original author is and I don't feel like stomping on toes just because I have a neat idea).

Last and final point, this map is specifically for EE, if it plays good in other mods well then hell yeah, if it doesn't oh well. If I created a map specifically for TA type mods and it didn't play well in them I wouldn't be real happy, but on the other hand if it played great in TA mods and blew in EE I would be fine with that, because of the simple fact that that map works for the specific reason it was created.


Meh, lay off the hateful tone, it really doesn't help. If you have an idea that you would like to see made into a map, shoot me a pm with mspaint concept work, I love stuff like that because it gives me something outside of my normal scope to work for.

This community has a way of bringing out the worst in everyone, and with me I believe that most of the time people just skim my posts instead of actually taking the time to read and comprehend what I am saying.

Anyway, no big deal nor hard feelings.

Aye, far too agressive there, no need for it. Sorry dude

[Forboding Angel]

Hehehe, it's cool, no big deal
