Just so you'll know... we have a thread dedicated to mapping projects, Iggy.
You can find it here.

Yeah, but that thing is so long and jumbled everyone might as well start posting on this one instead.

In that case why not name the Thread Post Here to Set Record!!

 

[«BuA»Lurker_71]

errrr...
If we're gonna ask question like that, why not just create a thread called;

"wereallyliketomakeseveralthreadsaboutonetopicbecausewefinditarationalwaytolookattheworld,Imeanwhyshouldonethreadhaveamonopoly,whenwecouldhaveseveralthreadsaboutthesametopic?"

When I said it was all jumbled, I meant when people replied, it was hard to tell who or what they were responding to. New, promising maps were quickly lost in the shuffle. Maybe if each mapper simply had their own "My current map projects" thread?

 

[«BuA»Lurker_71]

If we were to do this, the original thread would become obsolete.
I'm not saying that it would be a bad thing... but what would be the purpose of keeping the original thread around?

 

[Shattered_Steel]

What do you mean? All the old threads are still there. The only things that are gone are the threads that were lost when BU had to be restored from an old backup.

I meant that the Active mapping projects thread would be obsolete, if we made a thread per mapper.
There would be no point in keeping it, because no one would use it again, no one would look at it, etc.

Not that I agree with that, but so what?

And actually, I don't agree. Someone looking for some old nostalgia could browse through it sometime and remember the "way back when". It would be like the other threads, part of the BuA Forum history. What's wrong with that?

 

[«Bua»êÑìGMÄ]

I understand the arguement but does anyone have anyhting to say that actually has to do with the maps im workin on?

 

[Bonecrusher]

nope!

LOL...well...maybe...but im too tired to type now.

 

[Shattered_Steel]

Maybe you should be glad that people are talking on your thread, Enigma. lol

Where's screenies of Insidious? CTF is what we care about...

 

[«BuA»Lurker_71]

So what decision did we come to about personal map threads, anyways?

 

[AX000]

It is suggested that clan mappers use this Thread.

 

[AX000]

Enigma, this thread may remain for now.

I have studied your map. These are my suggestions:

-Correct lighting on meshes (lighting sometimes disappears)
-Lighting on ground is too bright for the time of night.
-Add basic blocking volumes around meshes such as the doghouse, so that dead player bodies do not fall through.
-Textures on doghouse mesh should be aligned
-Leafs on trees sometimes disappear

-Perhaps you should remove the awkward blocking volumes around the wall and add monsters that kill the player if the outside boundary is entered.
