Chris, did you have any image of you that you agree me to put in the video? I want to make a small bio for each map in showdow video.

(.Chris.) #88

Just use some nice shots.

(.Chris.) #89

OK folks we now have the full map list for the first event.

Warmup Map: Team Jungle

TAW pick: Maridia

Regulars pick: Radar

Public pick: Free Spirit City

Just need confirmation on the teams, remember itā€™s now next Sunday (21st)

Need a server to play on and a tv server that works also, anyone got such commodities?

Sorry, Vio, just your maps are kinda shit.

(Apples) #92

Iā€™m like vio, going on strike the 21thā€¦ and giving TAW a chance to defeat pro haxorzā€¦

(Violator) #93

Whoop de fcuking do

(Violator) #94

Thanks for the advice. Iā€™ll keep that suggestion in mind when making maps in the future.

(-iWi-) #95

Warmup Map: Team Jungle

excelent choice for the warmup

(.Chris.) #96

Just a reminder to any mapper whoā€™s map isnā€™t been played or considered at this first event, there will be other similar events in due time, I think the likes of viomine, consite and abusir have good chance of been selected providing they receive bit of treatment first, they all have potential.

Some maps that wont ever be considered due to not been suitable are:

Sky, Facility, Hoggin, BSG, Tourian, Baserace, hangar, maridia-ctf, atw4, them other ctf maps, sabotague, oasis, de_dust, lab storage, LNA Trickjump, Valhala and any dual map

For the server you can use the TAW|Artists of the Battlefield|Hotel TA Vanilla server or you can use the TAW|Artists of the Battlefield|Eu TA Vanilla match server (I can talk with Susefreak and get him to try and change the password.

If you guys are all dead-set against using TA, Hotel does have a Pro variant and Iā€™m sure Suse can throw up a Pro server as well with a TV. All TAW Hotel servers already have working public TVs w/ 80 slots working on all mod modes.

For the password to the NA Hotel and EU Match servers please PM myself or Suse but do not expect us to post them publicly.

Thanks for clearing that up Chris - my ego just needs a bit of a stroke atm, so good to see that Iā€™m doing something right ;). I know Iā€™m not the best mapper in the world but thereā€™s no need for some of the abuse Iā€™m getting for example on Nirvana atm (you know who you are). I and others are doing this for free in our own spare time so I think some common courtesy is due thats all. Of my maps for instance, viomine is the one that has most potential, that damn mining laser obj has gone from lemming win to full hold for GDF now so might have to radically change that (was something that was a cool idea but sucks gameplay wise), your suggestion of the tunnel/cave entrance and/or angled laser sounds like it might have some mileage though if I revisit the map, right now I need a break from it all. Iā€™ll be honest though getting map flow right is a frustrating pain in the arse esp. as testing is so sparse and its impossible to please everyone (and what I like in a map doesnā€™t tend to be what everyone else likes due to my playstyle I guess), so any work I do on consite etc. from now on will be purely brushwork / sfx etc. which tbh it has been so far.

Hopefully estate will be considered aswell. I always laugh at the insults. You might as well as there will be plenty no matter how good/bad the map is. Its subjective. Plus people are entitled to opinion no matter how harsh.
Its harder for the likes of vio and myself cos we prefer the larger style maybe and theres not a lot of fans of that round here. In the end we make the maps so its up yours to those who dont cos we decide whats made until others get on thier arses and make one themselves. and yes i said on thier arses. :wink:

(Violator) #100

Well said []/[]. Also larger maps are harder to get right because thereā€™s more that can go wrong :slight_smile: tbh I do laugh off the insults most of which are actually useful now Iā€™ve thought about it - Anthony for instance can come across as a tad harsh but he gives about the best feedback there is tbh and has given me lots of great screenshots etc. in the past for which Iā€™m grateful for).
