Goldrush madness

(M8DNephelim) #21

tbh a perfect GR2 would be the continuation of the truck leaving the original map.
that is GR2 should start off with allies escorting the truck with the 2 goldbars on a new part of the map with some added objectives - even perhaps to a point were they will defend the bars so the map have a switch to axis attack.
i would raise my eyebrowes to see a sequel instead of a modification.
…and tbh i have not tested one of the modified maps yet, perhaps i will enjoy it. just giving my 2 cents here on a follow up…

bah! it´s friday - let´s have some fun! :beer: :rocker2:

True. I had to take the piss out of one person who cant find his way out of a rectange (the first part of cathedral), and yet campaigns at every oppertunity to not use custom maps.

also true is the flipside: there’s an awful lot of totally useless maps. maps that probably were a hell of a lot of hard work, and a great learning experience - but that doesnt change them from being total rubbish that simply detracts from the attractiveness of custom maps for every single person who wastes 10mins of their life to download and have a look. Ports and modifications are perceived to hugely cut down on the chance of the map being a complete waste of time, doubly so since even if its pants there will be a lot of chat about them, so at least you get the chance to participate in shitting on something.

Indeed! and IMO, conversions and modifications of stock maps aren’t something that should be undertaken lightly.

LOL. modding goldrush isn’t done for creativity reasons but for fixing some gameplay issues.

making maps for a existing game is LAME and shows lack of creativity you’d need to make a real good game of your own :moo:

everything’s relative.

I bow to your insight of this discussion :smiley:

this is very confusing , so many goldrush maps… it’s good for ET … BUT …it’s just sooo confusing to have so many different goldrush maps

don’t know what one to play :s

the next versions are (nearly) already there:

“sw_goldrush1”
and “SuperGoldrush2” is in planning.

Super Goldrush 2, yay!!?
I think i’ve just pee’d my panties.

I can’t wait until somebody makes Smashin’ Smacktasmagoric Radar 4.

omg. what r u doing with my favorite map :disgust: i think the balance in stockRush is ok! on publics some times to defensiv but who cares? play SW!

(]UBC[ McNite) #34

Most of the time I play GR on publics and there s a full hold its because Allies don’t attack because they fear getting killed. Its the fault of the players, not of the map on those occasions.

Hello I am nullzilla modifier of goldrush. I made SuperGoldrush as a map for my clan to play on. I wanted to get rid of clip brushes in a few places and make a few more routes to make game play more challenging. I did not expect people to submit it to the public so I hope SplashDamage/ID Software doesn’t sue me lol. Anyway like I said I made it private for my clan but many people have liked it and my clanmembers have convinced me to create a supergoldrush2 with a new way into/out of the bank and more rooms opened up and some buildings removed…

Flame me all you want really I don’t care, the fact is SuperGoldrush is being run on 23 ET servers as of the last time I checked through “The All Seeing Eye”, and I am going to be sued by Splash/ID for modifying their map which they have included with gtkradiant. lol.

Hm, it seems sort of unmoral, to take SDs map and release it like that.
I wouldn’t do it.

well… you could call it arrogant too: simply ignoring the fact that its illegal and saying I don’t care.
Problem is you can’t get around such dumbnuts when you release a source-map of the stock maps. Maybe SD should ve released the .mapfile all in caulk or all in one texture to prevent this kind of ripping. I m pretty sure ppl who ride on that kind of wave will never spend the effort of re-texturing a complete map. As you ship the .map for educational purposes its not relevant whether its all caulked or 1 texture, you don’t look for texture work in this map.

but is it really illegal?

Enemy Territory is a free game, so it’s not like the devs are losing money over a player-made goldrush map. Also infact they would be gaining money because new maps are what keep this game alive.

Maybe they could sue for copyright infringment or something. That’s why in my SuperGoldrush I have states everywhere on the campaign info and in the readme that I have only modified the map I did not create the map 100% credit to Splash/ID

I don’t know why they would sue though it would just be negative attention for the company and they would lose money on future games. They could but they have no reason to really

“Splash damage sues 15 year old mapper for modifying one of their maps in a free game”

that would look good in the news >.<

As long as you don’t have the written permission from the legal department of activision you are not allowed to do anything with their maps and so its illegal. Plain simple as that. Whether the game is free or not doesn’t change anything with respect to copyright.
