i’m sorry for the bad news, but i am canceling sillyslide :eek3: 
…
the map to me wasn’t good, not done efficiently on it, not organized very well, doing scripting in the middle of making it, it just was messed up, i hope my next map will be more organized
if anyone is interested in helping me or giving me some ideas plz post and help me out, i’m struggling
Hi Tihan, I remember you from the SS server 
I had a lot of fun during gameplay, but since I don’t know how everything went after I left, don’t think it’s something that’s really to-do in mapping. But the idea ruled after all. I think you could make a similar map, but a little easier and less complex. 
I’m sorry, i can’t help you. Yet, whi do you not write
a howto about the errors to avoid for noob mappers as me?
Thank you.
Turk.

there is a server that has sillyslide on it, i didn’t want this map being hosted on servers! i forgot the server name, it was a long one but it had sillyslide on it. i had a sound from rtcw and that was dumb. some gold sound. and i know ur not sopossed to used sounds from rtcw, thats why i asked about it. i removed the sound from the map cause i knew the sound was copyrighted. plz forgive me. does anyone know who the owner of this server is who is hosting my map?
Tihan, I know that feeling.
I think it will be hard to stop them from hosting your map. But you can try (talk to them and ask them not to do it). But, the problem is to know how to contact them. It is hard to get int contact with the server admin sometimes.
I can tell you a related story: I was doing my first ET map ever. 4 weeks ago (july 2003). It was a single room. Two spawnpoints (1 for axis, 1 for allies). The most advanced things in this room were health and ammo cabinets, a rotating fan, and a small tunnel with water in it. Nothing fancy, in other words.
Just 1 Mb. I made it for myself. I gave it a cool name. I used the command map from another custom map (I did that just to “look and learn” - to see how the real mappers do it. I couldn’t do a command map myself back then.)
What happened? Well, I had started a server (the Host Game function in ET you know). I ran around in my room.
Lost interest. Did something else.
The days went by. I worked in my garden. I did some cleaning. Everyday activities.
Then I went back to the pc, to play some ET. What did I see, in the server list? THERE WAS A SERVER OUT THERE, THAT HAD MY MAP! And there where people in there, fragging away.
Someone must have downloaded the map, that day (while a was away from the computer ?)!! And now it was out there - in the public!
It is a crappy map, Im ashamed over its poor quality. It’s just a single room. And it has a command map from another map makers custom map. (I had to write and apologize to that map maker, but - thankfully - he said it didnt matter. What a cool guy.)
Tihan, as you can see, this has happened to others too.
Lesson for us noob mappers: Always use password protected servers, when we playtest early versions of our maps.
A rather lengthy post, but I had to tell my story.

heh…that kinda sucks guys…but im what you would call a map whore. I run around grabbing unique maps. I do it because…its fun and i love having a complete collection. I honestly don’t care if your map sucks or not if it was made i want to have it lol.
Btw person above…was your map called attack_beta.
Because i have that map and although it is simple its actually pretty fun.
Lol, no hard feelings.
Of course it is ok to grab a map.
I’m to blame - I should have used a password.
Yes, it is attack_beta. The worst map ever “released”.
// Loffy, nr 1 on the suck-list of ET mappers.
hehe, i kinda thought it was attack beta…but don’t worry i can assure you that your map is NOT the worse out there. There is this map i have called…duel i think not sure of the exact name but all it is, is a room with 4 pillars. Talk about exciting. Your map actually has underground vents and a small catwalk. So i wouldn’t be so ashamed…i had fun panzering everyone for about 20 mins lol. Keep up the good work and i’m sure you can create a sweet map.
thnks :drink: i feel much better about myself, i should have used password protected but i really wanted to let me people give me ideas right then, but i better be more carful
i’m thinking new ideas for a map, i have already made a building, a bombed out building, cloths line, tent, tombstone… i made these all seperate instead of having it in one map… and another thing lol… my map is going to have a tornado in it :eek3: :eek2: :eek: it may be a F2-F3 tornado but it definitly wont be a F5 
lol
dude that sounds sweet. i can’t wait to see it…also if you want any feedback lemme know because i usually can spot glitches or errors in maps pretty fast. =) Again thanks for sillyslide while it lasted. I still could never get past those damn spinning platforms.
a basic thing you should remember to divide your map in sections… this means, make a lot of *.map files to reconstruct your map everytime in acceptable time…
for example… if you have a big forest… put all the trees on the right position… then copy it to a prefab map and delete it from your basic-box… when you reconstrukt your map, just copy and paste… all things will be on the right position then… and changes are done quickly
ps: do you talk about mp_sillyctf.pk3 ?.. funny map… but too long way to go
one way to avoid new maps appear on servers is to disable download in your server, bullet prove way is password
