God knows you've never taken a look at it, the lot of you have been far too busy with hellgate london to talk to me, much less help test new stuff. A little annoying considering I value your opinion probably the most.
And I did look at it btw, in hellgate london, everyone passed me up in a week. In case you missed the fucking posts about it my computer was all busted ass and school had me so busy that I wasn't able to mess with it but every so often. So no, I have played maybe 20 hours of hellgate. I did try it when I had a psuedo stable windows install and built several units then typed a whole bunch of critiques which you didn't respond to. ASK WASP HE READ THEM! because I typed it while you guys were testing. Or like the time I stayed up untill three and you never came back on.

I swear, yes, I should have prioritized different, as in not graduated so I could test your project more. I also should not spend today visiting with my real life friends who I will not see when I move to this new job. friends I have had for 8 years! That is right, I should have dropped my friends not cared about graduating and got my machine back up, try your newer version of your mod so you could again not read my critique.

Forb don't get all butthurt because I am not devoting all my time to helping you! I have not gotten to see the project if you had already posted a link I would have looked at it this morning.

Hang on while I baw about how I don't give enough to this community and should have just not graduated so people would feel better!

*edit and another thing*
Don't get upset because I have not automatically jumped up and said woo hoo this is awesome. Peet will tell you I sat down and played a few matches of simbase gave him a fairly negative critique and I generaly don't give him feedback outside of "neat effect" or "what is that building?"

I don't just hand out compliments because I am buddies with someone! That is an asshole thing to do and I would be lying to you. All I know about your project is that it has some effects, some s3os I saw it had some factories and lua. You are new to moding but mod/game projects are something I take seriously and I only give out positive critiques when I have had a few times in that game or mod. Being that my machine has only been up with all of its drivers as of yesterday I have not gotten the time to really dig into your project. Until I do, I will not give you a thumbs up or pat on the back because it would cheapen every compliment I ever gave!

I never saw any critique post besides needs maor effects (which I've done).

wait wait wait, I jsut re-read, you meant in TT. Yes I read them. Just I didn't have any notification that anything weas being typed there, but I remember noticing them right before I logged off. Wow that was some time ago. Anything you put there would have been resolved by now.

THe only versions you would have seen would have been alphas I believe.

Look I don't want all your time, but it would be nice If I repeatedly keep saying HI in TT, is someone would at least acknoledege that I said anything (happened many many times).

Smoth, remember when you jumped all over me for spoiling your surprise and what you did to prevent that from ever happening again? Same thing here. I asked for an evolution forum quite a while back, and I understand why I didn't get it, but it would have helped me a lot.

I don't want compliments! I wouldn't expect them from you anyways, considering that the goal of evolution is slightly different than what you would first think. Which btw, I did retexture 36 units 3 times because of things you said.

As far as modding and gmae making I had good teachers, namely you, fang and peet. Subsequently I borrowed ideas from all three games, not ones that you would prolly notice, but meh.

Compliments make me feel good, but critiques actually help me, which is why I prefer them.

Side note: Lordmatt, I am truly sorry for gunking up your thread. I never intended to :(

I also said you needed more color to your effects and that you were over using that one effect.

A private forum wouldn't change the fact that I don't have the time to look at it right now. If you needed me to look at a pm would work just as well. That being said there are some planned changes that may start on the forum that would be more conducive to content development. However, those changes are months away. More forums would just complicate that plan.

Now, that being said, not just me but several other would also need to see it. As it stands I am not sure what to tell you. What is keeping EVO from being included? Did lordmatt say no outright? you keep saying no release but he was asking for a release with the next version which is what you need. So what is the problem here past not getting more approval? Again, I still don't know who else has tested it and honestly

I don't see hellgate as a reason that people are not testing things. I think hellgate for many of us has been a nice break. Hell even after I get settled in I am probably going to play hellgate sparsely as I am more interested in making shit then playing it. as far as saying hi, I may have been sleeping at the computer or didn't sleep for a few days or in the middle of a paper.

I had tt on sure, but it was on my piece of shit dell and if I was there most of the time I had my face buried in a text book.

Is it just me or should this have been done via private messages?
