[QUOTE=Spartan One;24195779]Well, it seems if someone (I'll use Xhizors for example) releases a remake, you like it, but you said above that nobody should release a flatgrass/construct remake. It's as if only certain people are allowed to release it.

I completely agree with Cruma. He has made some very good points.[/QUOTE]
Yes but he puts time and effort into it and it always turns out good, unlike 3/4 of the people who rush a decompiled flatgrass with sand or something stupid.
everybody has to start somewhere, don't download shit if you don't like it.

Yea people have to start somewhere, does not mean that they need to share every single thing they make to the world.

Plus it's even more stupid that you cannot flame people on Garrysmod.org. I swear people put shitty maps on the site because they have nothing better to do. Perfect example too, how did the creator not know that his map was basically shit? You take one glance at the map and compare it to even Flatgrass and flatgrass actually looks better.

[QUOTE=Aciid;24191200]Why the fuck is there no [B]release requirements[/B] for maps?
Also mapping should be something to prove a point and something that you can achieve with computer modelling for fuck sakes, I've seen tens of "FLATPLANE_COPY_OF_FLATGRASS_V666_MORDOR" then theres a footer "YOU MUST CREDIT ME IF YOU USE MY MAP".
10y.old kiddos trying to convert Source SDK mapping into fucking CounterStrikeSource2D-I-Can-Draw-A-Rectangle-Edition-Kids-Born-In-1997s.[/QUOTE]
This part is so true too, I always just sigh when a horrible piece of shit map is made and in the box it says "Please credit me if you use my map and do post it anywhere else." First off, who the hell is gonna do either of those when it involves a fullbright 5 brush trash map with stretched textures and such...

I understand your point but how does it not click for people when you see this horrible map and you compare it to others. I agree my maps were not great when I fist opened SDK, but I knew well damn better than to post them just due to the fact they had no practical use and looks like utter garbage. It comes down to basic common sense.

[QUOTE=Strider_07;24197742]how are they to get criticism if they don't show it? telepathy?[/QUOTE]
Plus my other point is, why do you [b]HAVE[/b] to release it?! That is what WIP threads are for. You post pictures and we comment. I just thought of a good rule. If you wish to get your map posted in the releases section, it must be in a WIP thread. Then people decide if it goes on to be downloadable in the releases section. Hell there does not even have to be voting. Even just posting pictures and progress in a WIP thread would work instead of just jumping the gun and releasing rubbish.

[QUOTE=Aurora93;24202295]you know what i hate

Oh god this.
My friends and I are still into playing the occasional round of Half Life 1 Deathmatch Source and all of those custom maps ( at least a majority of them ) have giant bold texts somewhere in them saying " MAP BY RIHAN ". His maps aren't even that great to be honest, but there's two things to take into account here, one, it's Half Life 1 ( can't really blame him there ) and two normally we don't even care since we just bunny hop around and blast eachother with RPG's.
Credits with brushwork EWWWW
Because making materials yourselves is so goddamn hard?

Nice post. You didn't make that decal, according to the decal.
Instead of crying, make better maps and they'll outshine the rubbish ones. Allowing your work to speak for itself is always best.
I thought you facepunchers liked getting to punch the occational hopeful kid in the face
[QUOTE=Aurora93;24202295]you know what i hate

Agreed. It takes like 5 minutes to make a texture.
Regarding the flatgrass map on the last page, did anyone read the description?
"This is one of my first maps I made, I just made it now. It's like a remake of flatgrass but I think its a little smaller."
In what way is being like a map everyone has pre-installed only [i]worse[/i] an incentive to download it?
i have nothing against newbie mappers who post pics and ask help at the forum, but i really hate it when they have never asked opinions, help, advice before uploading it GMode.org.
No, there should not be any standards whatsoever. I know, there are a lot of shitty maps out there and sometimes it really pisses me off but hey, mapping is trial and error. People should be free to post whatever they want. And if they make a fool out of themselves by doing so, that's their problem.
[QUOTE=Tanner;24204467]Instead of crying, make better maps and they'll outshine the rubbish ones. Allowing your work to speak for itself is always best.[/QUOTE]
I agree with this. Oh and I can not see a single reason as to why you'd let some shitty 12 year old mapper get you angry or someshit like that. I mean you don't really go "oh there's a horrible map, I'll download it and make myself angry!" If the shitty mappers map gets like 2 downloads in a year, then buhu... 2 people are sitting on his horrible map. I just don't get why everyone is so damn fired up over bad maps being posted.

:argh:
Posting something in the pimpage thread would be showing it off...
posting in the pimpage is for people to post you suggestions on how to "pimp" your map to make it better.
I released a map.
Wasn't the worst but it wasn't the most decent :frown:
[editline]01:39PM[/editline]
I was proud at first but after releasing I went "Shit I just realised it's bad" and then I got posts mainly saying it was bad but it was, if I remember one guy said, "At least it's better than some of the maps round here".
It was still shitty, and since then I've improved :v:

*vomits everywhere*
ITT we bitch about all the things we've done in the past as mappers but pretend we haven't to feel superior.
You're setting unreasonable prerequisites for release.

= Fuck off, and give new mappers a chance to get better?
[QUOTE=Aciid;24191200]
And a history of at least TWO creditable maps.[/QUOTE]
How would that even [I]work[/I] if they need two maps to release a map?
Of course you could tweak that to "I agree that I have contributed time to test out the map first and fixed all or most painful obvious pitfalls of the map before releasing it."
[QUOTE=Denicide;24216521]How would that even [I]work[/I] if they need two maps to release a map?[/QUOTE]
It's so we don't get any new mappers. Ever.
