if you do choose to include my map, please delete the thanks I tribute to Mr. Fuckwad there. It would be highly appreciated on my part.
chill. I just meant that having more than 1 map released at a time isn't stepping on any toes.
No one cares about your 2 map pack enough to not download this pack.
It appears here you were deriding my level making ability. I now know you reacted this way because you thought I was being an ego maniac so you jumped the gun. Put some thought into these things before you make assumptions. I asked about the timing earlier because Blitz (I'm sure it was in jest) mentioned the sm_40 contest stole some of the Norway pak's thunder and I wanted to know if it was cool with him to release something close to the date of that pak's release. one map is worthwhile of a news post, while shouldnt two maps? Also considering we're not excactly SWAMPED with news items here on func.
Of course my opinion has never counted for more than a cookie. I'm working on the start map now...but I have a question for everyone. Would you prefer it if the start map was the kind where each teleport went to each person's map? Or the kind where there are teleports for the various difficulty levels, and then you just play through the maps like a unit?
Personally I would prefer to do the latter, just because I think it makes the pack feel more connected, but if I did choose to do that, you would have to change your level ending to fit the next map accordingly. Nothing major, just make sure the end of your map doesn't clash with the map ahead of it. Mine ends with a gate, so no need to change that, at least I wouldn't think.
There are a few minor things I have noticed since submitting my map I would not mind changing, like the silver key, due to backing up the entity part of the map seperately, I have two keys in that position. Does not effect the game, but still, it does give you a bit of a wtf? when the silver key is tagged. First option, so accumulated weapons and ammo don't fuxor the gameplay of subsequent maps.
Blitz I asked you a while ago if it was gonna be like a an actual episode type thing, so that coherency wouldn't be a problem. An actual episode would be kickass, but I have to agree that option 1 is probably best because of the way the pack was handled. But maybe after this you can host an actual episode pack thing under a different theme.
....is to go for type 1. Even if 2nd option would be best, but it would have neeeded some advance planning i.e. distributing among contestants(is this a real word? I'm not sure)which weapons to put in the map and establish an increasing level of difficulty in monster placement as the episode progresses... Obviously this would take some knowledge of who's gonna send a map in, but leaves even space to squeeze in the middle some late arrivals, provided that they're told which weapons they cannot put in...
Just a rant early in the morning after a night of musical&alcoholic mayhem... any corrections to my english are greatly appreciated, I'm not really able to organize thoughts properly..... ...luckily today my brain has fallen back into place so I can articulate a little better... waiting for holidays, and 1000b pack... and sm82(where has it gone?)... and sm40 contest results... and Headthump's 2 pack.... whatta xmas!
Please don't tell me you are actually going to finish the start map and release the pack on Cristmas day.
what about putting a rune at the end of each level, then going back to the start map, and after all the runes are collected, unlocking a final end boss fight or something? a lovely throwback to the original q1sp i might say
