Cheers, yeah I really think it should *only* be in GA, and not other sticky threads (as otp suggests)

With just a single place where anons can post their shite - err...I mean important posts - that at least quarantines the problem, whilst allowing for the odd valid anon who really, really must post or else he'll explode or something.

Think of the place as a sort of containment zone, full of mutants and bellends.

Hi everyone, I will have to move to a new server until the end of the month. This will mean some downtime for the following websites:

- func_messageboard
- celephais.net
- fov120.com
- quaketastic.com
- shub-hub.com

I expect at most one day of downtime. 

My dreams spam anonymus, should I call user? 

didn't see the "Louis Vitton Gucci" toppic. 

I'll move the servers over on Sunday. Expect this website to go down for a couple of hours while the data is moved to the new machine and the DNS entries are updated. It should not take longer than 24 hours.

This applies to the following websites:
- func_messageboard
- celephais.net
- fov120.com
- quaketastic.com
- shub-hub.com 

Just add a hidden field that only bots can see to this form. If it's filled in the comment is rejected. It's called a honeypot and plenty of websites use one (among other measures) to mitigate spam. 

I should add that the field should be hidden with css, not type="hidden". Add the honeypot to all your forms. It will make a difference. 

As announced, I will be moving to a new server today. The move will start in approximately 30 minutes and will hopefully not take longer than a few hours until everything is back.

This applies to the following websites:
- func_messageboard
- celephais.net
- fov120.com
- quaketastic.com
- shub-hub.com 

Not one hour ;-) 

1 2 3 

Well, right now I'm probably alone because DNS hasn't updated yet... 

DNS switched now

Ever since SM193 came out I've had less drive to map than I can remember.

It's always been a painful process to me, even though I am usually happy with the results, but I feel like I hit a total wall in terms of creativity/motivation/whatever. I laid down a whole of 66 brushes for the honey speedmap pack before realising that everything about mapping is such an annoying ordeal.

It's like since releasing the map with pearly white streaks, I am totally shrivelled up and desensitivised to the point of anhedonia.

Is there such a term as "mapping depression"? 

Maybe you're just suffering indirect effects of real-life problems. It happened to me a lot. 

That can't really be it, since I'm practically smooth sailing. Starting a new job on Monday, graduating in the summer, and also got another couple thousand bucks incoming from contract work as a bonus.

If this was to happen a couple years ago I'd be already in mourning about my mapping, but right now I'm really rather indifferent about having less free time.

Need to write my thesis though, I've spent the last two months doing literally nothing with it. I like what I'm writing about but I think I got some weird performance anxiety where it's hard to just sit down and
get the thing started. 

You're bored with mapping. Happens with anything after you do it for a while and it loses its novelty.

If you don't actively do anything now, your interest level will just return eventually on its own, after an unpredictable amount of time.

Otherwise, you can try to seek inspiration by accumulating some reference environment art, or playing other people's levels etc. That sometimes works. Sometimes. 

Seems normal to me. 

Either you really crank it out of you all the or just do it for fun.
Look for new things do master for a while, eventually the urge to map will reappear.

PS to master means to understand mapping and create a valid bsp:)
Love ya 

Either you really crank it out of you all the Time.... 

rewatch some oldish medievalish movies for inspirations

flesh and blood, wud help perfectly 

I'm completly devistated by this pak.

I just found it after not knowing what to do with it. First I thought it was just a Deathmatch game and now I read the files I'm overwhelmed with a load of new atributes I can hardly imagine. A portalgun, that shoots a hole in the wall to dug behind. A disk that plays like a Tron combat, an air fist, radar and so on. More than fourty new weapons, Blaze gun,bfg ,Magnum, poisened arrows. Zeus bot.

Didn't know so much was possible with the quake.qc.
