mapping forum..thread standards EVERYONE READ


VIO

Recommended Posts

ok i've notice that in many threads people ask question concerning their map and get answear back that don't work. Why! Because many times ppl give answears for single player maps when the person is making a multiplayer map so a day can be wasted trying and testing info that won't work because the ppl arn't sure what map the other person is making. SO i propose that before each thread's question theauthor should put this little tag (or something like it)

 

Map type1

Map type2

program being used

any other info

-----------------------------

post

 

here's an example.

 

MP

DUEL

JKIIRADIANT

here's a screenie

-------------------------------------

i can't get my bottons to dance

 

 

granted this might be a bit of work but the tpe of map and program should really be put in if lazy you could just do this

 

MP

Gtk

 

my bottons are purple

 

 

THIS WOULD HELP ALOT EVEN IF YOU DON"T DO THIS PLEASE MENTION THIS INFO IN YOUR POSTS

thx

How's about comming up with a GAMMA standard for making maps.....

 

Everyone has different settings they use in JO as well as for their monitors brightness....so what's dark to one, may be too bright for another.

 

Anyone remember IDGamma? the old gamma standard for Quake 1?

 

I'd LOVE to see that.

knowing the differences in the maps isn't wat were saying you should put what type of map at the top of your post so people know what what of thing they should tell the other person. im not sure were you can find a list of the differences though.

keep this thread alive!!!!

IDGamma existed to balance the game on multiple platforms. That is to say, PC and Mac users. It will probably only be utilsed again if the game has another release over muliple platforms and is created for Multiplayer (like Quake 3 might be).

 

Nice idea though. Say it on enough threads and perhaps developers will notice.
