Going onto dedicated

Im switching onto a dedicated server for this morning only if you find any errors while testing plz post them here but there should not be 1

so the servers down for the next five minutes watch this forum for the ip address


(smallwood2000) #3

Unfortiantley it appears that you cannot host on one macine deicacted and play though two machines running on wireless lan even though its a 2mb connection wont work down to ip address,

Testing this morning went very well,

I will be posting the ip at around 8 or 9 o clock so if your online dont forget to check bk,

You might want to put it up on some sites such as etmaps.de and post some pictures and a description here.

I tried to log into your server, added it to my xfire and couldn’t get in and no info is showing up. Is your server on-line and where is it located for future reference?


(smallwood2000) #7

Hmmm i seem to have a problem getting this server reconigised, My site beneath is going to be updated later on tonight with all the map info,

I will shut down server and post workingdetails after i get a new one up

PS: Tomorrow night, i go in Vacation. So please upload it in the next hours.


(smallwood2000) #14

I cannot upload to website because when you have a wirless modem they do some kind sof gay lock on the upbandwith disabling any ftp, My website allows me to upload 5mg chuncks at a time, beacuse my map is prepared for enlargment as in ive already put everything ill need in my final version(textures) in its 14mb but still same size well about its actually 15mb to 17mb not giving extact one of the reasons i have to do betas is my lack of knowlage
(scripts).

sos i cant put my map on earlyer im just waiting for the activation email from etmaps.de its not arrived yet

Take a look at my tutorial, ‘Marketing Your Map’

BTW, here’s the direct link to the maps page: http://uk.geocities.com/caldecottlambert@btinternet.com/map1.htm

Here are my thoughts, just looking at the screenshots and your web page:

  1. You need to work on your HTML. The font is tiny and in Times New Roman. The type is so small, I have to strain to read it and therefore, just skipped over it. You really need to work on format consistancy too. Part of the description is centered, other parts are left aligned.

  2. You’re at Beta 1, but from the screenshots, it doesn’t look like you did a light compile. Was this deliberate (ala Delivery) or just something you haven’t gotten to yet?

  3. Not really sure who’s attacking (didn’t bother to read texts) but the screenie shows 3 mounted MGs pointing down a long straight road with no cover, which is going to suck for the attackers

  4. So far, nothing in your screenies grabs my attention. You shown a bunch of boxes and MGs, but nothing that says “hey, I really want to play this map”. How about screenies of people planting at the objective, or something more interesting than 50 crates all aligned the exact same direction?

  5. It looks like a lot of your textures really clash. You have some red, some blacks, some greys. It’s hard to see if there is an architectural/texture theme to the map, which helps tie everything together and make it look like a well put together piece of work.

  6. I think you need to spend more time detailing your map. I’ll pick on the pink brick building. It wouldn’t hurt to:

  • Add window frames around the windows. It’s more realistic and breaks up the red brick pattern a bit, rather than just leaving big holes in the side
  • Close off some of the windows and leave others open, again, to vary the side of the building
  • Big horizontal slits in the sides of buildings just don’t happen in real life. They make walls structurally unsound. Make them windows, rubble a few of your walls to make mouseholes, etc. This applies to both the top and bottom level.
  • Signage, light fixtures, a couple of barrels outside, a wide set of stairs leading up to the main doorway all add a little more to the outside
  • Speaking of main doorway, is this a loading dock, the front door? Most buildings don’t have big holes in their sides.
  1. I guess we’ll learn more when we can actually run around the map

I’ll stop now.

Just FYI, your site doesn’t work at all in mozilla/firefox browsers. It looks something like this:

MSword generated html :banghead:


(smallwood2000) #17

Im pretty good at html have not had the time to do it,

on everypage i have put that my website is being update and now i finished my map this morning i can start working on that again,

its pretty hard with d lack of support but i can expect i used the other sites to build my map but i also know what they lack and where you had to go pocking around on the internet for,

Sorry to say but SCDS_reyalP download microsft internet explorer microsoft will take over the software world so we might aswell just go with the flow, unless u use dat other explorer for some wierd reason

sorry about the website again ill try and post the update soon

cheers for the advice though, it needs to improve


(Schaffer) #18

FYI, The MS stronghold on browsers is slipping. They did have a greater percentage of users but since they delivere such a crap/unreliable/buggy/insecure software and didn’t bother to update after they won the Browser war, users have been drifting off to other browsers types. I work as an eCommerce application developer and you cannot expect to develop a site specifically for a single browser type. Also, making comments that people should go and download Internet Exploder is a pretty cheap half arsed comment that wont win any friendship.


(smallwood2000) #19

didn’t emply the follow of thought your on ---- dat other explorer for some wierd reason -------

sorry im just a simple stoner whos not very good at writing, i never meant go away and download, just that it was a pretty good browser so i was recommending it, sos

Will dreamweaver support your web browser


(smallwood2000) #20
