you are the lazy person.

[Qualmi]

comments from indy like this usualy means there is sth wrong. me has time and why not doing some stupid stuff like taking a screen between all the brainfarts.

for the objective, hm…i took the key from the place near spawn and brought it to the “transmitter” near the prison cells, and i was really excited that the doors go open but lol, the map ended. hm…so i transmitted some keys, hm… at least it looks like this in the first moment.

also there is a no tracemap error and the objective descriptions dont work. but me personally thinks its not bad at all.

cya

[FireFly]

me found some missing textures

Edit: Qualmi’s screenshot already shows the missing textures…
btw: this must be the smallest map I’ve ever seen

[blizzard]

you are the lazy person.

i know but it’s my first working map
but maybe can indyjones explain it by hisself what he mean.
am i lazy because the map is to small?
am i lazy because the there is not much detail?
am i lazy because i ask you guys to help me?
maybe all questions are right but plz tell me what the hell means this sentence

what do you mean with the underline sentence
does it mean you would transmitted some keys
the allies must bring the key to the computer and the map will end. because the people are released, this was my idea. there are not really people in the prisons, maybe i have to make some dolls in it.

Should I take that as an insult?

@Blizzard
It´s a good looking map for a first map. One suggestion, you should have 2 installations of Enemy Territory. One is for playing, other is a clean install. Before you release your map, play it on a clean install so you can see if any textures are missing.
And no, you are not lazy at all.

[Qualmi]

hell no. at that time i was studying some really difficult stuff for my exams and actually that was what i meant with brainfarts. not the comic fail ^^

when i take the keys it says: “allies have stolen the documents”. when i bring them to the computer to end the map it says: “allied team has transmitted the documents”. was this intended to be so ? i cant read objective description, so the infos on wm_announce are quiet confusing. keys/docs ?

Oh, sorry i misunderstood Good luck with your exams, and don´t be afraid of making a new comic episode.

[blizzard]

ok i will fix these bugs and thx for checkin my map
i will reupload my map if everything is good
with that wm_announce, how is the script if only allies can see it en only axis can see it and how both can see it.
with the textures i don’t really understand.
it is a texture that i made by myself but i fill in the shaderlist and the jpg file is in the texture folder what did i wrong
btw. what means sth wrong

[blizzard]

indy jones i just wanna say that i’m not lazy, because if i’m lazy how you call people who stopped with mapping after the “getting started” part form this link http://www.pythononline.co.uk/et/tutorial.htm
i have spend months of my live for doing some mapping for my hobby i’m only 15 my english suck and you call me lazy. srry dude i don’t know how to think about that sentence.
i don’t know how you learn your mapping skills but if you help people on a forum like that…
maybe it’s a misunderstooding again

[IndyJones]

i just meant that if you want people to download your map, you HAVE TO show AT LEAST screens…
you have posted screens later for the ‘the people who are to lazy to download the file’. that’s just wicked. i assume it was supposed to be a joke, but it’s not even funny.

[shagileo]

Learning from the ‘past’, there’s not really a wm_teamannounce . You can only ‘global’ announce something with text. However there’s always the wm_teamvoiceannounce where you’ll need to set up a specific .wav file.

dude it’s a double post because i was searching for the picture links
so i post that first and 1 minute later i post the the pictures.
so it was a sort of joke but if you don’t like it, fine.
i thought if you put this or this after a sentence it isn’t necceserly to take it serious
but if i have insulted you srry about that.
i don’t care if nobody download my map if you give a comment based on the screeny’s i do like it too. if nobody says anything about my whole map, fine too.
but i thought i can post some of my “projects” here, if it’s not allowed, let me know plz
ps. where can i find the rules on splashdamage because is there maybe a rule that says, don’t try to make jokes in threads.

[shagileo]

You’re always most welcome to show us your work. We all encourage the designers within to create great maps and supply you with helpful hints and criticism (although that last part isn’t always well put in words for some among us).
It’s YOUR project and YOUR idea and that’s the beauty of this all. Don’t be ‘afraid’ to show off more of your work in the near future, you just have to filter out comments who are useful and who aren’t.

I like the map, when i made my first map (bunnyhop) it looked… 10 times worse.
Just look a bit at the details. (keep looking untill you fall asleep and dream about your next idea) :D:D
