It’s not allowed for germans to possess pictures of svastikas.
So we will also not be a able to play your map on US-american servers.
Because we would have to download the map with it’s textures.
And at this point we would commit a crime.
Blood on the Rhine testing now
As far as I know all symbols that can be identified as nazi symbols or are similar to nazi symbols count.
Is it too hard to understand?
Its a LAW here in Germany. You won’t change it - you have to accept it.
Ignorance isn’t a virtue, but go on.
I respect what you guys are teaching us and I didn`t know this either, and it would make me think twice about releasing a public map with nazi symbols in it.
and I`m curious, are neo nazis with tattoos breaking the german laws, and what happens to them, do they get arrested on sight? and is it also illegal for tattoo artists to tattoo those symbols onto people?
and is the celtic cross symbol also illegal? because I`ve noticed neo nazis have those tattooed on them, well in england they do... but I`ve also seen that symbol on grave stones in churches... so has it become a "corrupted" symbol, like the original crooked cross, as I understood it to be?
What you describe as “celtic cross” is in fact the “iron cross”, which is a german medal which was introduced first in 1813 to honor soldiers who showed exceptional valour during the battle between Napoleon and Friedrich Wilhelm III. . It was reintroduced 1870, 1914 and 1939 again. It’s not in any way connected to national socialism except being a german war award medal. I have no idea why current neo nazis adopt that as a symbol for them, but it’s not condemned here in germany in any way as the swastika is.
The german law in fact states that public display of a swastika is prohibited except for educational purposes, which means that a tattoo that can be seen openly violates the law. I don’t know what would happen to that person, though I guess the tattoo would have to be removed.
alright my german buddies the swastikas are now gone, and the marching hammer takes their place.
seeya tonight. Need some sleep its 8am now
so a full back tattoo with a swastika and the history of WWII is legal?
Does Germany strictly enforce this law or is it pretty serious over there?
now im talking to much about this subject.
Hey but my map should be out again later today, and swastika free. I want you Wolfet heads overseas to enjoy my map as well.
Heres a link to the new and improved version, Yes the swatakas have been removed!!!
@MindLink, thanx for explaining.
@Pukedukem, sorry for helping to hijack your thread, and good luck with you map.
It still has RTCW and Quake3 assets which means if you have
a server that allows downloads, you are violating the EULA
for those games (which means we can’t run it).
It also still has 2MB of unnecessary bloat.

i hope to fix all of that soon, Im moving in two days and my internet connection will be lost. So i just rushed out this second copy, without major glitches.
I decided to download it and have a go, nice addition with the porni I guess, that’s about it for me :). Z fighting in quite a few places and some more detail would be pretty cool. Also, I fail to see why taking a truck to get to the boat is a better than just running to the boat… A) The truck is slower than a normal player, even without sprint I believe B) it’s cumbersome, can’t be maneuvered, and will draw more fire onto players which defeats the purpose of it being a safe mean of transporting the book. In addition, some of the railings inside just hang in the air and you can see into the middle of the cylinder.
Truck is so the map dosent end fast, Not a battle re-enactment. But yeah there are a few things messed up. It may be released again in a week or two. Remember im moving and mapping takes more then a second of my time.
Pukedukem,
