WOW, that is the best map for a 3-year old person ever!!!!
I love it.
Wooshaa infant.
The cutting edges are so cool and the lack of scenery makes the map absolutely astoundingly perfect, not talking about lack of shading and colours. The background matches the triangles so perfectly, omg, youre my idol!!!

(edit: I hope you will understand that posting ALL maps you find in your pants shouldn't be posted here, a'ight? )

(edit2: Wow, the screenshot is soo great, especially when you were filming! [REC])

Is something wrong?

Should I stop saying how cool you are? I hope chakra or a moderator will make a "new maps from new users" forum under the soldat mapping.

I will download this map right away and start playing witm my friends all day long til the next soldat version arrives! Omg

[constructive criticism: Trash the map and make a new one and hope this map will not affect your celebrity on future maps, it's like your not even trying.]

Vig, stop being offensive, or the banhammer gets swinged harder this time.

Havoc, please post an overview screenshot next time, and try reading some tutorials too. You can find many linked on this forum, just browse a little.

Headstone, it's a given. Use your head a bit. Vigg isn't right, and neither are you, so comment on the map and refrain from spamming. This is a map topic, not a topic about the rules.

Havok, don't mind Vigg..he's just an angry little person who should have been perma-banned a long time ago. In fact, he just got unbanned and he's prolly right on his way back there because he can't help but insult new mappers out of some superiority complex. Just keep mapping and practicing, everyone has to start somewhere.

As for the map...the screenshot is too small. Just zoom out so you can see the whole map, then press shift+print screen. Using paint or something you can change the pic, add a title, etc..whatever you like. Shading is also key..look at your polys, they're one thick color. Think a bout how the light would play off those polys...would they be darker on the bottom if the light came from above? Any shadows? Think of a light source and then darken your polys from there. A large part of shading will also come with your poly layout, which, comes with practice..so keep it up! :D

i'm probably the only person who downloaded it.

the layout is truly excellent havoc, but, as vigg said very impolitely, it would be nice with a little color variation and maybe a box here or there (with a collider of course).

Come on man, don't you see that he is new to the Soldat forums? You are a good mapper and I though your personality agains new mappers was different. Now I see how you really are..
Practice, practice and practice! You'll become a good mapper if you do so! =D

OFF-TOPIC: citA, your ISP is musc.edu? My father works for the MUSC! I must now hunt you down...

ON-TOPIC: The map needs alot of shading, far as I can tell. Texture looks smooth, though.

Maybe I got a little sour after reading this topic...but vig is right, in some ways these new mappers need to stop posting crappy maps. It is sort of ridiculous if you think about it. There are plenty of resources now that were not available in the past. In the past, yes the maps were allowed to look like [CENSORED] and reach forums, however you know what the answer if you post a map like this is going to be. No offense havok, I want to encourage you to map, but PLEASE refrain from posting maps like this where you didnt put the effort into making it look somewhat decent to the eyes. The layout may be good, I congratulate you on that, but again, seriously, look at the first maps these days. Read some tutorials, learn some shading, do some smoothing, otherwise when you post a map here is what you will hear everytime:

Needs Shading
Round your corners
Match the colors up better
Choose a Different theme
etc. etc.

And in Viggalongos terms it will be along the lines of:

[CENSORED] Map I pulled out my ass
My momma make better maps than that
I did that map when i was two years old!
etc etc.

Anyway, keep trying.

(Sorry if I'm flogging a dead horse, but my ass is opinionated)

For starters Havok, there's no scenery, no poly stretching, clashing colours and no shading, so basically, what you've got is the contour of what could be a map, nothing more, why you even bothered to post this is beyond me.

But at least you're trying, my first map didn't look much better than this, what program are you using btw? If you're using MapMaker then I suggest you immediately switch to PolyWorks, I sh*t you not, it pwnz.


As for the rest of you, f*cking grow up some time, especially you vig.

I mean, goddam b*tches, walking into this thread was like taking a visit to a kindergarten where all the little infants are flinging mud at each other.

Oh, and vig, Stop acting like you're superior, I hate this kind of aggresive attitude. And what is this? is this an 'üuuuber map'?

Yes, that sounded retarded, eh? You're acting like an angry baby. As for locking it, I have no objections.

How cute, you start swearing at people and then demand the topic be locked once you start catching flack. You're the reason this topic should be closed Vigg. Maybe if you wouldn't run your mouth so much this topic could be more than a flame fest.

February 14, 2006, 6:51 pm
It is a climb map, they dont have to be pretty like flowers in a chinese garden, as for you the geologist you should go burry yourself under a heap between bronze and gold under the soil.

I would start telling good about maps if they just werent so damn crap like this one, but I need a start point. Your opinion about flaming or "anything" was not asked Geologizm.

Locking the topic was a suggestion, not a demand, limp.

Ok, that's it.

Vig, you are a talented mapper, but that does not give you a right to insult other people. You can give constructive criticism without flaming the mapper and his map. Besides, get off the high horse: even though you have some nice maps, they aren't playable because of their over-complicated builds.

Either improve your attitude or the banhammer shall be swung, and your head shall detach from your body.
