Speedmetal, ahk, thats where the evil bannanas come from.

Well thank god, I am the creator of the first skirmish AI itnelligent enough to refuse to play it! test by certain beta testers who use speedmetal shwoed NTai XE8.1 refused to do anything on speedmetal, but worked one very other map they tried, and that the problem was specific only to speedmetal.

It's a sad day for humanity when a RTS skirmish AI shows greater capacity for intelligence than the players..

* a fix for this problem will not be delivered and has been actively encouraged*

Oh the intolerance!

Instead of deleting Speed Metal, you should acknowledge it's map liked by the mass, and make more of the same!

JC ( if you had a middle name Denton, I would worship you) beat me to it, but I'll paraphrase for massive damage:
You have NO RIGHT WHATSOEVER to dictate how others play the game. Not one right.
Except that, as long as you are among the 2/3ds of people who play Spring, I happen to have made the game you're playing (not the engine, mind you, but the game), thereby granting me the right to "dictate" how it is played.
If you believe otherwise, you are a stuck-up snobby piece of shit
...who happens to have made the game you're playing. Go talk a long walk off a short cliff.
Massively for real
That deserved its own quotation. What do you think you are, some kind of rapper? Why not throw in a "yo". Me en mah homies we are dumbshits, massively for real, yo! Bloody emos.

It's just sad that your ego blinds your ability to see/comprehend practical logic. You seem to have some sort of complex where because you ported a mod, you are magically some sort of dictator who gets to say what maps other people can and cannot play.

Makes me sick.

Dead horse = beaten.

Some Kind of Map Equivalent to Methadon, to bring the Junkies down slow.
1 of 10 of the SM Players who join this Map .. will learn to love the Game as it`s meant to be - the rest will quit -one way or the other...

Deleting Maps is no Solution - even if it would help to provoke nfektion further... The Players should have the Decision.. but you can only make a Decision - if you really know all the Options...
no, name it "Speedrnetal" - SpeedRNetal - RN looks a lot more like an M :P

And the fact that you "grace" us with your presence, lend nothing to the community, and act like a complete idiot gives you some kind of say.

Go away.

Funny because every one in chat was laughing at you with me.

Also, AA is caydr's mod and gundam is mine made from scratch... so who are you talking to? Optimus isn't in this thread.

Whats the big fuss about :)
Sure speedmetal doesnt neccesitate that much in the way of tactical thought but not everyone wants to have a slow game where they have to decide how theyre gonna use a piece of terrain, where to place their factorys etc etc.
Ive played speedmetal a bit and it was raelly good fun actually... within 5 mins you have huge robots blowing 7 shades of shit out of each other in glorious technicolour with explosions that shake the foundations!

I quote swiftspear... "whats not to love?" :wink:

I know, Speedmetal necessitates a need for a metal map. I think it needs to stay.

Caydr wrote:The reason I so loathe that map is that it deprives players of the experience that modders have designed. It degenerates the game into unit spamming with no thought for strategy nor tactics besides get more units than your opponent. Units have no worth - they can be rebuilt in half a second. Even krogoths are just cannon fodder.

The presence of maps like Speedmetal begets people like "rudirogdt" who only play that map - they have no idea what the actual game is like, and so are becoming so hopelessly entrenched in this anti-strategic way of thinking that they steadily lose touch more and more with what the game is supposed to be played like. In other words, these players don't count. For anything. They might as well not even be there, since they aren't playing the same game as the rest of us. I really mean that - if you play Speedmetal, don't play it with AA. It's an insult to the work I've put into the mod to see it wasted in such a way. I spend hours just crunching numbers so that X is perfectly balanced to Y, assuming it's used like Z. On maps like Speedmetal, nothing matters. You could build an army of a million... anythings. What you build doesn't matter anymore. What you do doesn't matter anymore. It's like Starcrap, only with nothing but zerglings on each side.

I don't care if it's AA, FF, GEM, Gundam, XTA, SWTA, Mechwars, or anything else - playing on that map is like spitting in its creator's face.

When such players finally get tired of the dumbass gameplay - guess what, they quit playing Spring. They have no idea how to play it in any normal capacity, and so go back to playing Doom or Big Rigs Racing or some equally crap-saturated drivel.
Spring is for fun, sandboxing a mod is fun, therefore people will do it and I'll support it. Now if we get people coming and saying "OMG THIS MOD ISN'T BALANCED FOR SPEEDMETAL, WHINE!" well then you're welcome to say "of course it isn't, speedmetal isn't real gameplay". No one expects you to support the speedmetal trend, but you're gonna have to tolerate it.

You are telling me to get over myself? You are the one who has earned unilateral hatred in response to your behavior. I still have not heard what you meant by port? Or are you so stupid that you were just blindly looking for an unjustified attack on my or caydrs work? I mean seriously, I find it humorous that someone who is getting nothing but hatred from people who SELDOM agree on anything quite funny. You need to take my earlier advice and get a tall glass of attitude check.

Of course it is no skin off my back, I actually have the talent to make a mod. If you perhaps had any skill I might respect you but all you are is talk. So Forboding, Caydr and I have a justified PRIDE in our work and you have an over-sized ego that a talentless clown like yourself shouldn't have! You do not have ANY right to berate Caydr, Forboding or myself.

I am upping your prescription from attitude check to a plate of humble pie with a side of intelligence. You need both.

yeah, so as I was saying earlier.. I think speedmetal is a valid entity, it may have 1000 dls but that doesn't mean jackshit.. gundam has over a 1000 and how often do you see it? :P

Either way, I think the main thing is that forboding was not seriously going to delete it he was saying hypothetically. Not that he really was.

That struck me as I quietly watched this topic unfold :shock: nothing offensive was said in the beginning. :idea: I don`t see his problem.
