Hes using the badges we already have as an example.

Captain P is right, although, colors are a good way to show it, since there are a lot of colors, and a new page could tell what they all mean.

there is:
orange
red
purple
blue
green
yellow
black
white
brown
grey
turquis
indigo
multicolor
and just plain clear.

wow! you put all of the maps n' mods on death row. a little drastic chow.

Mike has a great idea. what I have also seen on some other websites is when someone replies to your post, it sends you an e-mail, although we have so many active members and spamming that we would all be flooded with e-mails.

now I see why this would be good chow. There would be no more thread reviving, you could easly look up old information, and noobs could see if their question was answered first. I thought you just wanted to lump all the bad topics together and keep them just in case of anything.

If you do the member rating thing, are you just going to put numbers 1-10? something more creative would be more noob friendly.

okay.

just because Microsoft is doing well in the buisness world doesn't mean they are bad. They do not own a monopoly, because monopolies are illeagle where I live, here in America. There is still other computer software companies out there. so what if they have a little of everything, that does't mean they are bad. as a consumer, why would you care? you should just worry about getting the best product at the lowest price.

you heard me asynclywinkly!

I think you mean the spliting thing. I meant, One person works on the origional, and the other works on the other. This way, it will go twice as fast, and there probably wouldn't be too much of a difference between the theme of the map, when 2 people map like they are adding on to the same place.

anyone else with a contructive response?

an underground digger mabober that goes streaming down into a giant lake of lava, and is driven around on small falling rocks, bumping up and down, trying to find a way out when a lake is emptied out into the lava, which causes steam to shoot everywhere, making you shoot up with the pressure of the chemical reaction, up into the air where you start hurdling down toward earth at incredable speeds, so you press the eject button, but it is jammed so you do it manually, and then you find out you have no paracute, but a giant bird rescues you, but is actually trying to feed you to her young, so you kill the babies, who are really big, and the moma comes back and attacks, so you jump on its back and ride it over a big ocean, where it dies, and you fall down, but land on a whale, but sharks kill the whale and are moving in on you, so you shoot them, and try to swim back to shore when a dolphin saves you, but poltures kill the dolphin, so you shoot at them, but then the sharks come back and attack the poltures, so you swim to shore only to find out you are on a desert island, where you sit around and talk to a volly ball untill you starve.

don't know what that money type is there, cause I really don't travel overseas from America here.

I bought an X-box on e-bay for $170.
I'm gonna go see what this green tint is about.

maybe they made it that way because of their green X logo that looks like a crack into the ground. maybe it brings it out, and makes it look more, well, cool. There really isn't a better word for it.

I just hope that TWHL gets a good makeover, and is back to what it was origionally made to be.

can I put off topic stuff in a P.S. thing. maybe there should be a special box you can put off topic stuff in, like how those quote boxes work.

P.S. lol, yeah, I must sound like a hick when I say stupid stuff like that. I just try to type fast. I'm a busy person. I bet you wouldn't guess I was a writer ;)

I don't like it when someone corrects posts, unless they meant to say something completely different and ask the moderator to change it. Spelling isn't very important here, and you all know what I'm saying, most of the time.

in I got an idea(remade) Post #45488
That would be hard to orchestrate because people don't know the theme of the map, also they wouldn't know what weapons and stuff are in the other map.

any Idea's on how to do this? It would go a lot faster, and be very good, but there are some downsides. people won't be able to coenside with other people's rooms to try and fit the theme. maybe there could be a room that leads out of the first map, and comes back in to the first map, where it would continue, and two people can go at once, one working on the origional map, and the other on the map that the corridor goes off on.

Are there any good places I can learn it for free, getting a compiler and such for free off the internet? I don't like to spend money, which is why I have a crappy Quantex with a broken internet that I'm not even using now.

lol, ministeve.

prickly_pimple, there is no need for more moderators. The current ones do a great job.

Maybe a different type of moderator, like a map vault moderator, where there are forum moderators, and map vault moderators.

A ranking system is a great idea, but what if there were special badges to wear, like we have now with trophies, but what about ones that show up like next to your avatar that tell your "rank" and the other special stuff, like forum moderator, or map vault moderator.

a limit of one a week for completed maps would be better than one a day. unfinished stuff, example maps, and problem maps could need no day limit. still, you have to be within reason and think of all the coding that atom will have to do to do this. I don't know if he can do everything.

I wanted to make that clear.

also, please do not post the picture. it is suppose to be a suprize. the list is full, so we don't have to pursuade anyone else to do it.

since the I got an Idea thread is dead, and my name isn't on it, I really don't have any credit in coming up with the idea. I don't want to sound like a big head, but I will put at the very end, a thanks to ministeve for being first, me for starting it, and JB for taking it a step further. maybe a special thanks to haz and m-garg too, because they really helped also. if I am missing anyone that did something special, please tell.

The list is full and new, so I will update it on the twhlmix e-mail account.

Map Vault:

There has long been an issue with the map vault. the best thing to do would be to organize it into cs, dm, hl, mod, and other, which would include tfc, r, ect. also, there needs to be something done to prevent people from joining and then posting a million maps. maybe there could be a finished map pile, where map vault moderators could put all the maps that are sutible, that way, all the ones that aren't, stay in the normal vault, where not many people will look, causing them to stop their frenzy till they get one good one to try to put in the complete vault.

I'm not sure people would put their stuff where it belongs. People want their map to be seen, to be rated, downloaded, and commented on. if new, they might not know that it is not a very good map. They might just think its the greatest.
