dew Posted February 15, 2017 joe-ilya said:I didn't derail it, I gave feedback and you pushed me back because I wasn't positive and because it's obvious, or some stupid shit. You only gave feedback in terms of saying you disliked it and that they should get better, with a dismissive, bullying tone. You never even once hinted at how they could get better, what to improve, where to look for inspiration... nope, just "the joe doesn't like, the joe knows better, don't mess with the joe". And sure, expressing whether you like or dislike something isn't forbidden, but if you're just going to be a whiny dick all the time without a shred of constructivity, you're going to get shat on sooner or later. Also stop saying I did anything to you, neither I nor any other mod or admin has posted in that thread. You don't need to be positive and encouraging, but you're a crass thug and that pisses off even regular users. Your idea of critical feedback: Mass genocide is utter garbage. It's stupid and poorly made. I had no fun playing it. You need to do way better, because this shit is pathetic. Until then, don't bother us with projects where others will have to work hard to fix your mess. My idea of critical feedback: Mass genocide is an uninspired opener map. The opening gimmick is cute, but heavy-handed and won't work in multiplayer at all. The logistics for it don't justify the effect. The chainsaw is placed poorly, how should the players know it appeared behind their back if they aren't even supposed to notice they are in a copy room? I already checked the space behind me in the starter room, so I missed it and completed the map with pistol only. That led to a mind-numbing grind and me having no fun at all. The saw should be featured prominently, the player needs to trip over it, pretty much. Scythe does this, so you're getting wrong what your inspiration got right. Also the platforming segment in the exit room is nonsensical and amateurish-looking. I don't understand what function it even serves except to delay the player in an awkward manner. Just build up some stairs with a switch or something. But from now on, I'll only give you feedback your way. And you'd better like it. 0 Share this post Link to post
joe-ilya Posted February 15, 2017 I didn't really describe how to make the map better because the person before me said it for me, but even he still said that it's good, even though he said later : "It's poorly made". And what kind of constructive feedback could I give a map that's just a bunch of flat surreal corridors and some Realm667 monsters tossed in, besides repeating an echo of someone else right before me? ---- Your feedback : How is the gimmick at the start not managable in multiplayer besides the immersion you get at single player? I'll just put the multiplayer starts at the second room to fix that. The chainsaw is a non-secret secret, if you don't like pistol gameplay, sorry, but that was the point of the map, maybe less monsters in the map as well as in MAP13? Is that a good alterenative? I'll take care of the platforming exit section. 0 Share this post Link to post

"I agree with the poster above me, the map appears to be a series of flat corridors which look uninteresting and are not conductive to multifaceted gameplay. Additionally the Realm667 assets appear to be thrown in rather haphazardly. If you're going to use new assets I would advise that you consider what function you would like the new monsters to serve as to avoid bloating your mapset with unnecessary junk"? 0 Share this post Link to post

40oz Posted February 15, 2017 Uhh no. You guys know what you're doing. You probably don't call it "being fucking retarded" but that's exactly what it is. If you don't like the project then its none of your fucking business to be telling him what to do. You have absolutely no stake in the project whether it succeeds or flops, and everyone is 100% sure that if joeilya followed your horseshit advice religiously, you still wouldn't participate in it. I seriously cant imagine how fucking insufferable it ought to be to try to manage a project when 80% of the threads content is a mob's effort to shut it down for seemingly no reason whatsoever. What is the energy behind this agenda besides laughing about it behind the scenes? Its fucking disgusting. 1 Share this post Link to post

Um, akshuly! By dispensing my horseshit advice, I already participated. What's so wrong about it, by the way? Do you disagree about my general point of having to be civil if you want the other side to take your feedback seriously? Or with the particularities of the map01 critique? And if so; which one, the ilya version, or the horseshit version? Also don't you worry, I'll make extra sure you receive none of it in the future, I'd hate to offend you and your superior ways. 40oz said:I seriously cant imagine how fucking insufferable it ought to be to try to manage a project when 80% of the threads content is a mob's effort to shut it down for seemingly no reason whatsoever.

You're right, it's much more elegant to attempt to shut down a project by asking people to abandon it via PM. Clean, refined, Machiavellian! 0 Share this post Link to post

SArais Posted February 16, 2017 Is there any way to replicate the line-horizon in BOOM format? It causes graphical glitches otherwise; the other things can be worked around. This is what it's supposed to look like, my map is expanding upon the idea that another person refined for a map. http://imgur.com/a/47Ygc It's mostly "void" and marble, til you reach the weird hell gate thing, then proceeds into hell theme normal. There's actually a shitload of walls in that room; the line horizon masks them and prevents the graphical glitch; thereby allowing this room to exist in a techbase. Calling it "Abraetas" by the by. 0 Share this post Link to post
Memfis Posted February 16, 2017 Unless I'm misunderstanding your question, I think you can check the first outdoor area on Map13 to see how the horizon is done. 0 Share this post Link to post

Take an established map and prove it. The texture pack doesn't work in PRboom because it's a .PK3, so I can't make it playable. TBH, that map can be easily transfered into a boom map, heck, even a limit-removing map because the only real change is transfering the 3D floors into fake 3D floors. 0 Share this post Link to post
