Rimrook, put your maps back up Created 19 years ago2005-01-17 04:19:07 UTC by Soup Miner

I know you are leaving TWHL, but why withdraw your maps? They rocked, and by taking them away you only deprive us of good levels.

His decision, let him be. Seems stupid to me too, but what're you going to do. Alex's journal post summed it right up.

his journal entry (rimrook's) made me angry. who does he think he is?
some mapping oracle who knows everything?

some mapping oracle who knows everything?

Maybe he is "The One"!
Okay, But still.. That sucked, He's putting himself as a "god's position"

He's an asshat.

I've found unknown methods of cutting compile times and lowering r_speeds without losing any quality. I had to pick apart the half-life engine itself to find my discoveries, and what is mine is mine.

LMAO - if he won't share his so amazing and unknown ideas he has no place in a community. Become a loner.

Yah, sure. I totally believe that quote.

Yes, he IS an oracle of mapping. Well, at east we still got Kasperg. KASPERG! DON'T LEAVE!

Hmm... Seems kinda counter-productive to reject a whole community - fair enough, you feel on top of the Hammer when you get something good - but there's no need to turn Eletist on everyone.

I found the whole thing rather funny.

I would have liked to see those maps though...

Kasperg will never leave TWHL He doesnt need to enter a Day of Defeat community to feel at peace with himselft and the rest of the world...
Some weeks ago, Rimrook taught me how he did his reflecting floor effect in Castle Rimrook, so that knowledge is not lost.
I have no plans to remove my 20 maps from the vault. On the contrary, I plan on increasing that number, hopefully completing a huge laberynth map plenty of easter eggs and secrets. It'll be fun to see who beats it first!! (read my diary for info on that)

Got a link to any of Rimrook's Maps?

i always thought kasperg's (and others) maps were way better than rimroks (whose maps i never understood why anyone liked) blocky maps. i think some people must have confused making cool screens with making cool maps. and the reflective floor trick is nothing new, and it's far from being rimrock's creation. there are tuts everywhere for it.

let him think he's some great mapper... one day he'll realize he's just an advanced noob. good riddance...

Hmmm.. Still would like to see his maps first, and then make up my mind. :

Links anyone?

seriously, to a noob they might have been great... but they were really nothing special... at all. just some custom textures on blocky architecture. he would use graphics and text on his screens so the noobs were like OMGZORS HES SO 1333337!!!!!!!1 i guess it went to his head...

Mmm, I no longer have any of his maps in my computer (I used to have the castle, the beach and gyradell)...
I knew about the reflecting floor technique long ago, and I know there are plenty of tutorials about it. But the ones I had seen were with full reflection or glow reflection. I hadnt tried to use a fading texture before I saw Castle Rimrook

A fading texture?

i always thought kasperg's (and others) maps were way better than rimroks

Allways eh?
Since you've been here 15 days..

yes, a texture fading into black http://www.geocities.com/kaspergmaps/reflection.jpg

Nice effect

Easy though.
Ok, rimrook is obviously not gonna responds since he's left twhl, which makes this thread useless.

- ENDz0R T3H p0$7!!11 -

Nice effect.. gives me an idea

*Maps

Does Kasperg like talking in the third person? Worldcraft Dude thinks it to be true.

Oh well you have me dont you! :

Everyone loves Habboi!

cough Of course

NEIN!

The Rimrook saga only beings... (dont close this down till I've logs of the punchline!)

n44bs=naabs

erm, ok?

ummmmmmm , ANy body still got any of rimrooks maps cause i kinda never downloaded them. Can somebody please send me some, mcmitcho@gmail.com
TA

OMG! Rimrook told me his wonderful secret, and the secret was:
MulleBoy go away...

OMG! THAT IS AMAZING! No wonder he never had problems with r_speeds again!

what secret.????

what secret.????

what secret.????

That.

Who's Rimrook?!
:

Rimrook is a mystical TWHL 'god' figure worshipped by certain moderators.

Well,, I must be stupid,, I've never heard of him.. lol
Looks like he was a good mapper..
And he sure is mystical..

I too have never heard of him but i've seen him rarely without noticing!

He sounds like a nice guy shame really but we can all worship him in the new TWHL temple which is located on the left!

Who was that directed at, Jahzel?

Speak not of the ex-communicated unpersons.

They shall be hunted down and flamed for eternity!
Mephs is already on his good way doing that, btw.

Wow... i thought i was being neglected since my mapping skills lacked a few aspects... I had no idea at all i was looked up to so much by the people of TWHL. I figured my maps always seemed to elaborate and uncool because they were nearly unplayable due to r_speeds and other problems. I never realized what i had until it was gone, and likewise for my maps. I removed them to relieve a little space on TWHL and since i thought no one really downloaded them or even liked them.

That being said, i would like to (in the future) write some tutorials about the things i know about mapping and how to optimize stuff. I'm extremely happey to announce my glorious return, and also that i have glorious friends.

Our TWHL,
Who 0wnz the net,
you rock!
May all our base somday are belong to you.
Give us this day our AWP, Body Armor, and Frags through fast Steam.
Cut us some slack when we act like noobz,
and don't be hatin' those who act like noobz to us.
Please don't give us admin when we're too pissed to realise right from wrong, and if you could keep spyware off our comps,
we'd appreciate it
For you own all our Mapping needs forever and ever,
Amen.

amen.

nice poem

nice poem

It's a prayer.

well...

its nice.

love the maps. i might run some of them on my server if i get it working again.

That being said, i would like to (in the future) write some tutorials about the things i know about mapping and how to optimize stuff.

Good. I look forward to them :).

my glorious return
