What thread are you reading? I did not call you "stupid" or any other names for that matter.
If a post is just that "hey you are kidding, you must be, don't you?", of course this is almost equals with "hey how can you be so stupid not to know a kinda simple thing you fool", only a hardly more polite form. And I think we both know this. Or, as you know, it >>can<< be interpreted like that so easily and that happens often. On the web, no matter the language and the concrete civ, without gesture and face context, it is quite hard to decide whether a joke or an idiomatic expression was planned for rudeness or kindness, and it is even more hard for foreigners.
I said "Please don't do this" then explained why.
Yes, you told me about a problem that isn't exits, despite of this I must admit that your explanation really was exhaustive, clear, patient and I even can't say it was not useful for me; yes it was so. To be more exact, the problem probably really exists but affects me (and so you) not much, because I'm not an online UT player since years, so the alternate "map versions" will only stored on my private hard drive. Although I also thought that in the >>far future I will upload a collection of maps, but now I will think that twice really. And the two things: on the one hand, uploading a collection of maps (some of them with little cosmetics), and on the other, starting to upload map versions one by one with almost no change, is not the same thing at all. But hey, let >>me do with >>my maps on >>my hard drive anything that >>I want, ok?
I think your ego has taken a pounding since I've had a valid, clear response to all of your challenges and your last recourse is to try to villify me to make yourself seem better.
No, as you can see, I try to explain you that what is very-very wrong in that what you do in this forum and what is very good. I'm just triing to be fair with you and as I see despite of all problems you tried to be too (though you haven't managed to be in some regards, but managed in some others).
We get tired of newcomers that charge in, don't listen, and have attitudes and ego.
Well, I think you should let people, noobz likewise, to have their egos. Everybody has, is it so surprising? And forums are mainly serve the purpose (or should serve it, probably) to explain things to newcomers. If you got tired of this, why do you do that? Don't do it then, the decision is of course yours. But it would be a pity, anyway, I think you probably have the talent to do it.
Most of us have spent years taking care of this game and community and you will see a sharp response to anything that would be considered damaging to either one. Instead of challenging my information you could have done 5 minutes of googling to other threads and seen that exactly what I'm telling you is the way things are.
No, I won't google because these are (map versions, uz list etc.) not my problems, you only >>believe(d) that these are the problem, but the difference (between fact and between your belief) is significant. What I resented is exactly this: you have supposed without looking around what I want to do, and, after I've met you in other threads, I experienced that you >>tend to suppose false things about people, unfortunately.
I didn't assault you, I suggested you think hard about taking the path you are taking then I explained why. "This" problem DOES in fact exist because you clearly said you were going to do it: "but one day I will upload it to the web".
Oh no, sir. Your first post here contained a sentence "I can't stress enough though to PLEASE consider not releasing new map versions if all you are doing is adding a screenshot.", so it is clear you supposed me I'm doing the screenshotting for online downloads ("releasing"!). But before your post, in my thread opener, I haven't say a word about for what purpose I want to do the screenshotting, it was just a cry for help. So you couldn't be sure about what am I going to do, you just supposed something unseen. And that is what I find quite disturbing in your communication, of course in that part that I know of.
No, I won't be responding to you in the future. Good luck sir.
Thanx your time and sorry for me being a bit reverse. Have a nice day!
PS. And, of course, thx PortalGunv3.

D. My mistake was probably that I saved the screenshot as pcx file. I'm not sure. But importing from bmp is possible. DeepHallways is quite an insignificant map, anyway, but the method is working. This is my first success with UnrealEd, I mean the first thing I've ever could done with it, it is a quite awkward software (even not tend to starting up without anti-crash patches that are quite hard to find recently). My morning went bad but now it wasn't in vain. And thanks to Gopostal, this is the first technical problem I've solved with the help of this forum.
