worst map ever made award

I've just unanimously decided that it goes to....

LOST AND FOUND V1

This map is...

Metal.
Ugly.
Features which are just..... beyond description... scattered randomly. By seeing these features I've just become dumber. For the period I was playing this map, I completely lost my basic arithmetic skills.

It should burn in hell with its creator.

I just played on it. It was a 4v4 and there was literally at least a 5 minute discussion ingame before the host convinced everyone to choose a start position. Nobody wanted to play it. "Cmon, let's try it for 5 mins just to see".

The host left less than 10 seconds into the game. This was lucky, for I was already half way through writing my suicide note.

If any video game is capable of inducing violence, it must have been somehow associated with the criminal having seen this map.

Lol...it was an ugly map. Layout is similar to some ota maps too so not very original.

Caydr,

So, you don't like the map ...

In your opinion what needs to be done to improve it.
Better texture ... better features or none at all.

I really want to know ... I know some of the features
aren't the best. My modeling skills aren't the best, but I'm
trying ....

Tell me what you think that needs fixing and I'll try
to fix it ...

Caydr, you haven't seen rainbow land, have you?

If you want constructive criticism... remove the features entirely, I think they're beyond salvaging TBH. They don't look like anything that belongs... anywhere. Also the map's texture resolution is awfully low, give the entire map a very smeary look. I think maybe you set the mapconv compression too high, because I see tiles out of place all over not to mention the blurryness. Also, make the mex radius far, far larger. And in the future, I think there's enough metal maps to go around as it is.

No, but I've heard some very colourful reports about it ^^

(eh? eh? rainbow? colourful? eh? >_>)

Screeny's? I want to beholden the terror!

OK,

redo the texture map ... remove features ... and increase
mex radius ... can do that ..

* What about removing the walls surrounding the your command
with a breakable type wall ?

* An a few very large metal rocks ... outside the base walls ...?

Well, the map IS bad, no denying it.

But cadyr, does your brain comprehent ANYTHING but superlatives? Can you do anything besides bitching and moaning around? (imho, hell should keep out the bad modders to keep enough space for ego-inflated wannabe mastermoders)

Yesterday i updated my maps and on fileuniverse, there are at least 10 maps that are worse than lost and found...

Caydr · Post by **Caydr** » 06 Jan 2006, 19:26

No, I mostly deal in superlatives.

so, post them here and we nominee a few of them.

and what tha crap can you do abbel? at least caydr maintains a mod (very

) up to date for spring, and many others things that involve testing, and development.

what about you abbel?
edit : thinking in own nominees. (possible candidates, cpia, duggans, speedy metal, ... ).

As much as I'd like to flame Speedy Metal, I don't think anything positive could really come from a worst map ever award. I had really assumed that this map was just mashed together overly compressed and recompressed then resampled and compressed grayness. If you actually put some work into this and you're still learning, sorry if I offended you.

Though Caydr is holy - Hail Caydr! - and maintains an awesome mod, that doesn't give him a free pass from such things as "respect" and "politeness".
