should rip off maps be removed fro mthe database?

[Zlal]

I personally agree that a LE map that only makes minor changes should be removed, but remake maps from other game types ported over should not be a problem as long as the author doe not claim it as his own work, lots of people like playing maps they already know from older games, UT2k4 is proof of that since the game actually has remakes of original unreal and ut maps, also maps that are not remakes but use similar layouts should not be labeled remakes, every arena style map with a rocket launcher, altho gameplay will be similar, is not Morbias.

I gladly volunteer what time I have to going thru the UT data base and checking for maps with no real changes, or ones missing packages that are not in the game itself or the epic bonus packs, but keep in mind this means I would put Brunel which is missing richrig on the chopping block.

Admin contact me if youd like me to setup a clean install and start goin thru maps for you.

EDIT:

Hmmm its funny, disagree with you,make fun of you and slam the Prophet= get 20 replies

Offer help=get 0 replies.

I wonder why I would think Nalicity is bout anything but bieng lametards.

Wow, you expect one of the major admins to reply within a day? We are busy with something else atm, you'll find out what soon enough.

Ghostwheel, you constantly say the site is lame, how **** is is etc.
But then you want to help us and be part fot he site? Why would we *trust* you, it's not as if we have reason to is it?
If you think sasying a site is **** is going to help you get a position in the staff of that site, you need your head examined.
That is just rediculous.
Wipe the **** from your eyes and look. The only lame **** around here is you. Where are the dozens of people rallying to support you are agree? 99.9% of the people who come here are satisfied and happy. And the site is far from dead or lame - we get thousends of unique hits every month.
I'm sorry for insults, but the way you speak, you truly deserve them.

BTW, the remakes of Unreal and UT maps are actually updated remakes, not straight BSP ports like the quake ones you so fondly give high scores to -_-'

you offer help just so you could use it as an argument later on "you didnt accept my help"
sorry no
i dont want to be dependant and have gotten time from someone who hates the site or at least half of it, and who doesnt fully understand what its about, one day that person will use it against you when the next problem occurs "but i did that back then so you do this now"
and that next problem is bound to occur some day
there are various of reasons too, the amount of LE and CE maps isnt that great, only a few and as long as they still give proper credit its fine for me
the ports from ut1 to ut2 are far worse actualy, complete crap most of the times
as for missing files, hell if you really want to go ahead but youre unlikely to keep up,
were talking about 5000 maps at least here, everything from before 2002/2003 wasnt really scanned for missing files so...
and if youll find maps with missing files you can do little about them
first of all few people will care for it, so the win is 0.01 and secondly you cant mail back the original author and ask if he can fix his file cause he prolly doesnt care anymore or has a new email..
whats the point..

Well I just offered to go thru the data base and make a list you could decide on weather or not to delete, based on being just and LE of deck with a clan tag or if its missing files and wont run, I did'nt ask to be on staff or Admin, jeez, if I think things are lame and I do I figured only why to help is to help, and scince you responded to the other thread so qwik I thought you could do the same here. Anyway forget I offered because your right I'd somehow use it against you later. I dont want to fight you dudes, just trying to get some realisim in here is all, I mean the way you describe what a 7 map is, thats our problem to me rock solid everything is more than a 7, wtf would it take to get a 8-9- or god forbid a 10. Anyway have nice lives dudes.

i certainly will thank you
and im certain those maps and my apperantly unrealistic standards are going to play an important role in it

Read my post. Again. Why we we want your help when you act like this?

You could have fooled me. Everything you say is annoying and poised to make us reply.

just trying to get some realisim in here is all, I mean the way you describe what a 7 map is, thats our problem to me rock solid everything is more than a 7,
Realism? WTF are you talking about?
A "rock solid" map is nothing more than a 5. It's an average map. Nothing special, nothing great. It's a well made, nice enough playing map probably. But thats it.
Anything more has to show something else, something special and original. It has to look good, play good and have less flaws. Even a 6 has to be above average. Thats our review scema and it makes sense. If we give every average map a 7, then surely the other scores have to rise. It makes problems.


wtf would it take to get a 8-9- or god forbid a 10. Anyway have nice lives dudes.
8 and 9 scores are very hard to get, because these maps need to have a balance of graphics and gameplay. Thats why scores in this region are so hard to come by. For a map for get either of these scores, it takes somethign special and something really good.

No map can get a 10 score. A 10 score means that a map is perfect. No map is perfect.
