(Qualmi) #1

hi folks,

basically i wanted to create a community thread for unfinished and forgotten maps, which can be uploaded so that others could do prefabbing to it and upload the mapfile again, so that in the end maybe one big map will be the result. i would also not mind if it were two :stuck_out_tongue: there are of course pros and cons about this, but why not trying this. so id like to know if you ppl would agree to sth like this and secondly use this thread to discuss about the rules it should follow.

the basic idea should be clear now. the leaddesigner has a mapfile which he uploads for others to see. others then can use this latest version to do some changes and improvements and then upload it again, so that others use the latest version. now there could be some problems about this so i made three humble rules:

1: no prefabs will be taken from the source file for your own project
2: the lead person is always the one who decides at last. he is the one to do internal votings (maybe via irc) if prefabs collide.
3: your name have to be placed in the final readme along the lead designer and all who contributed. if someone doesnt want his name to be placed cause it sucks too much :stuck_out_tongue: than he can inform related persons.

you agree to this and if not why not ? maybe some more rules will arise here, i really count on you. if you not a fan then pls tell me why you think its not worth creating such a thread. if there are too many cons i wont create this thread anyway. but i have a nice map running here :stuck_out_tongue: maybe we could start with this. its 1/3 finished, but i wont come back to it anymore cause im out of ideas and lack in patience to do 500000 million maps at once :stuck_out_tongue:

so what you think. give feedback pls.

regards

I think your idea isnā€™t worked out enough. and I donā€™t actually understand what the idea is lol.
1 person makes a design??
then other people make parts for it?

or

upload unfinished maps?

Uploading of the unfinished maps including source and all whatā€™s needed, so others can finish the map.

jep. the idea is to present a map, which you have not been able to finish but have designed it pretty well and have spend some time to it, but are unable (to reasons unkown) to finish it on your own. i thought about a rule that you at least have a fully working terrain to upload + a ā€œreasonableā€ amount of brushwork (houses etc.). but that rule doesnt have to be fix.

about presenting concepts one must think about, but my idea was to only do this for mapfiles with a reasonable amount of work in it to upload.

also i think creating only prefabs to prefab and starting from zero would make a mess. the leaddesigner (that is the person who uploads his map) must have at least a vision about his map in mind. otherwise i think it could get ugly :confused:

still thinking about adequate rules for this. i also think that if this thread is kept going, that process will be very very slow. so it would be the best to not expect too much of it. but still keeping it go slowly. i also think that there wont be so many contributors, cause if there were one must think about other possibilities than only threading. but i think this case wont happen. there wont be no 20 ppl on one project :stuck_out_tongue:
