NICE [:-censored]ing JOB MAN

too bad the selfkill d/l don't work for me!

lol. not his. yea, i'd fergotten bout that one. h'd'been waitin fer some tiam. he prolly stopped cause some skool stuff er wutever de kids do these days. hope he goes forums to tells us bout et

what's ks440? like 404 error?

I didn't make it man, relax Famine.

Heh. He gave up, I read it in his little section on Selfkill. Blamed bugs in the mapmaker, said he'd go back to it if the bugs were fixed.

Didnt he quit because people were giving him [:-censored] for using graphics from another game? ::slaps them:: fools

Yes, that is one of the reasons. Some people will never be happy. Assholes!

I remember being realllyyyy impressed with this map, I think it came out a short while after I started playing soldat, and I didn't know you could make such pretty textures back then..

now almost every mapmaker uses this technique

it's not a texture dude. and it didnt come out. sure yer thinking of this map?

Yeah I remember this map. saw teh screen and started working on my first map the next second. Ofcourse first maps usualy sux0z so I was realy down. But then I started maping more and more! And now I'm a mapping fool! Thanks to this map! I salute you mr map maker!

We know.

I loved that map back then when it was announced. I even sent him an e-mail to encourage him but... well erm... nuthing. By the way, the game, the 'textures' are from is an old SNES game... I don't think anyone would be pissed if he used the gfx... (the game rocked... Flashback is teh pwnZor!)

Yep i use this tecnique... or i try to... i think it makes maps look purdy :P

why people calling it textures though? it's scenery damn it!!!! arg! :P

yes it is scenery... the problem is this was not how the soldat map editor was intented to be used. when you create maps like this, not only does it take a very long time... but you also end up with bugs. the other problem is that when graphics get complexe... you start to change the map design so that it fits the graphics and there for you lose some of the game play elements of the map. the best way to map is to keep it kind of simple, use a new idea, debug it to the max! and bot it or get someone to bot it for you if you can't.

that was this guys problem. he changed the map to allow for the graphics. you see the little bridge type things he has. well for ppl to stand on those you need thin polygons. It should be a known fact that thin poloygons dont work! thats what doomed this map from the start.

This isn't new at all. ;/

Indeed, that's what actually happened.
I almost wanted to make a new thread lately because of that event. People around here just blamed him for using graphics from an old game. This is what makes the Soldat community so sucky (I'm not the only one saying that...).
So now, just blame yourself for what happened! (talking to the happy fools)
By the way, nice to see you back Darac.

That seems to me a really fishy excuse for being too lazy to finish the project.

seems like you know a lot about him...

just dont stand still. why do people even stand still? yer supposed to be killingQ!!!

arrrrr twas a hoax i tells ya!

Hypno Toad is rule...all....

AH! Let's just leave it be. The map would proboably have a lousy gameplay... Or not.
We've got many mapper's that can make beautiful map's. This guy only knew how to use the scenery... I don't think he thought about the game play.

This is how I do it. Draw teh map, plave teh poly's and THEN start shading and placing teh scenery.
