I'll enter, i need some work to do. Can I have them just kind of standing around, looking at things? or do tehy have to do actions? Like can I have a Sci walk around, stand in front of some computers a while, then look at a whiteboard for a while, then just kind of repeat his little routine?

and back on topic, this compo looks crap. it can be anything, as long sa its got something scripted in it. we can use custom content. why dont we just submit an old mod we made?
Posted 19 years ago2004-07-23 09:26:43 UTC Post #43978
Yes, you need a better outline. Make it that it must be something, without limiting what you can make too much. For example, Build A Machine. It tells you exactly what you need to do, yet doesnt limit what you put in it, as long as it has a machine in it.

If you want it to have something scripted in it, tell them what should be scripted, or where the map should be set in. You need to be very specific.

And I'm not entering Wrangler. This compo seems very, well, set up by a n00bish :D ..... jk. I think Floater is learning very quickly how to deal with his maps and this community. If only he learnt this quickly how to not spam the forums, shoutbox and journal :D

i think hes taking his website too far. hes trying to become the center of a community witout realizing its already been done. and it really is a bit noobish. seen minimicus's review? "its awesome! the shrinking is awesome!" he should focus more on mapping and take a look at other peoples websites to see what he should have on them.
Posted 19 years ago2004-07-23 09:44:01 UTC Post #43983
yes, look at other peoples sites, and If you want a community, make a forum, or put a shoutbox/cbox in your site.

And those dot things which always go to the cursor are annoying, stupid, and very cheap and corny looking.

And add hyperlinks to a larger picture of the bloody HL2 screens, they are quite pointless as they are now.

If you really want attention you must learn how to build a website without using those crappy programs like frontpage.
Also you have to have a certain amount of knowledge of things like creating images, HTML based websites, building maps etc.
Posted 19 years ago2004-07-23 10:13:32 UTC Post #43991
I used frontpage for my website haz.... and i think it came out quite good.

No!
Sorry, I don't want to judge on your website. But it is obvious that you're not very familiar with making websites.
There is no structure in it, you don't know where to look at first. Everything looks like puzzled together without a real concept. There three scrollbars on the site, which isn't good either.
Actually only very few people here have a decent website.
I don't even have one anymore. After I noticed that my website was as noobish as all the others, I deleted it and started working on a better one.

ur abandoned map was really gud Trapt. although it was a bit empty. but the visual effects blew me away nice wurk.

Posted 19 years ago2004-07-23 14:01:00 UTC Post #44017
here's what's needed: (i think i specified it clearly enough)

EVERYTHING HAS TO BE SCRIPTED!!!(well just entities)
they all have to do something, they cant just stand there and look at you, they have to walk or talk to someone else. BTW: I am really starting to not like you MOP.
Posted 19 years ago2004-07-23 14:01:50 UTC Post #44018
i dont care if you call my maps crap or my site. i just want to know the people who are entering.
Posted 19 years ago2004-07-23 14:15:53 UTC Post #44024
and to haz, how the hell does my site have 3 scrollbars???

on my comp it has 1.

yeah, i know. but still, whats with the noob hating business?
Posted 19 years ago2004-07-23 14:21:32 UTC Post #44028
Instead of lashing out Floater, you should listen to the comments as constructive critiscism. If you spend more time making a decent website it gives it a better impression, and will make viewers want to explore more.
Posted 19 years ago2004-07-23 14:23:46 UTC Post #44031
Noob hating is in a sense wrong if they are a 'noob' as in meaning a 'newbie', which means people should be giving them support, but people usually call people 'noobs' if they dont listen, dont read properly, dont spell properly etc...

I don't hate noobs. I just find it annoying at the amount of them that join in a row. Some of them learn really quickly and become great mappers, but most slip through and take ages to learn. That's why I find em annoying.

crappy programs like frontpage.
Frontpage is a powerful program if you know what the heck you are doing with it.

okay, you need to make a setting (can be where-ever you wantwhatever you want) (it has to be nice too.) and everybody has to be doing something (think of it as a somewhat busy place) heres and example: lets say you are about to reach a door and the player opens it WRONG!!!, put a barney beside the door and a retinal scanner, and make barney open it for the player.
Posted 19 years ago2004-07-23 14:40:48 UTC Post #44047
that leaves little room for creativity. making a door that a barney opens.
Posted 19 years ago2004-07-23 14:43:22 UTC Post #44049
well, you could make the barney open doors that need a specific code. and you could get him to open the door. or you could go get a keycard and give it to him and then him open the door.
