I actually saw a show awhile back on what they want to replace fiber optic with. LAZERS!!! seriously, they can transfer the data to light, then send a package every x seconds or whatever. On the other end it gets decoded. The main reason is national security. Through fiber optic you can 'gather' the...

Good to see you are still trying Plastic. You should go to tf2maps.net and dl a few things. 1:they have all the valve maps decompiled. Nice to run around 2fort and look at thingsa you are familiar with. decompiling can break areaportals and stuff but for the most part everything is as should be. 2:a...

I got killed by a 14 year old??? OMG. insta-ban

I know I've dominated ca at least once.

Warmonger on the other hand... I think I have got revenge on him at least 10 times, but no domination [yet]

Thanks ca.

Umm, gonna have to pass on that offer Grim

True. But some maps are almost too out there for most people. I think King of the Train is a border line map that works good on the normal server. The gameplay is kindof crazy and intense but you can still basically play TF2. To me that is what a map probably needs to be on the reg server. Battle of...

ca, cool. 8-) Ah thanks! Funny that it turns out that way. It really hasn't been accepted by most 'snipers' as much as regular players who want to do a little sniping. At the time I thought snipers would dig it alot but most of them I've played with tend to prefer ones where you step out a door and ...

I haven't been to the movies in awhile, too expensive. Rather sit at home watch a $1 dvd and have beer or any food I want while laying on a couch.And keep my other $19+ dollars. I did watch 30 days of night. I guess for a zombie flick it wasn't bad. Mongol Lifestory of Gangus Kahn. Great movie (all ...

a sniper map by ME :) Guess sniper maps could be fun on the fun server. Red and BLu, at it again, trapped in impressionist paintings across the hall from each other... http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/57955 Outdated screenies: http://img4.fpsbanana.com/ss/maps/129766.jpg http://img4.fpsbanana.com/ss/ma...

Why do polls always have to be so hard? Of course I wanted to vote 'mute Thursday' but had to go with zf on fun server instead.
I think it's a good way to host them and not drive people away from the reg server.

Well, I never liked intro threads. I kindof did it in my first map submission but since I want my very own *cC* tag I guess I should be a little more official eh? And some of you might not get into the mapping threads where I usually hang out. (I copied Awesome Sauce's list for the most part) NAME: ...

There is a round start entity (sorry, don't know the exact name off hand). a trigger signal can be sent from it with a time in seconds. (OnRoundStart maybe)

That's how the arena cap point opens at 60 seconds.

Yeah, I'd be more then happy to help you also but usually the easiest way is to just find a beginner tut (which I thought Grim pointed you to) and learn Hammer. Your first 'map' should just be learning the tools. Basically just a crappy little box with some textures and a bunch of errors. No you got...

I'm not gonna vote for 2 reasons. 1- As I said in the other thread I have only played one jump map. 2- Jump map day has been on my day off so it doesn't interupt my schedule at all and I don't want to rain on anyone elses parade as it has no bearing on me. Though I do think it might be cool to have ...

looking foward to seeing what you come up with.

I tried one for a few minutes. It sucked. You had to jump across a pit into a tiny little pipe. I suppose there is more after that.

Everyone spawned inside each other and got stuck so you have to blow up the other person to move.

Maybe there are better ones but that didn't inspire confidence.

Like Beetle said you gotta do what you enjoy. You might be at that point in life where you are feeling pressure to 'grow up' and alot of society looks at video games as a kids thing. But why can't adults enjy games as well? My dad never played a game in his life until for some reason he bought a nin...

Good explanation of the ratings ;) Yeah, most maps get a 3 from me. Some of it is probably due to the fact that I know how hard it is to get a complete map finished so I think I can be forgiving in some instances. In other instances I can be a bit critical. So rarely do I give a 5, I really gotta li...

I was just thinking about koth_lighthouse. I always liked arena_lighthouse and most 'serious' (by that I mean not maps with 100 cows in a box) arena maps. When Psy first annouced the koth version I was sceptical, but I had quite a bit of fun on it yesterday and alot of people were playing. Seemed li...

yeah, actually I think arena maps also last 45, wasn't sure I knew that after playing for awhile I'd look and there'd still be 15 minutes or so on the clock. The round count deffinetely doesn't work. That's why I think their time limit should be 20 minutes. We probably played 30 rounds of each of my...

This is something that I have noticed before, but tonight it really came to my attention. Both my arena maps came up in a row. While I love seeing both my maps being played I feel like the time limits might be a problem. Not only for possibly causing a dislike for my maps or arena in general but for...

Yeah, the red one is cool. Looks like a poster of the people
Kindof a communist theme if you will.

But the blu one doesn't give the same message, doesn't seem to fit. Maybe it needs a different font, maybe make it more like an amercian theme since the red is more of a russian theme (imo)
