You know what would be cool, having clans inside the snarkpit. It would get people to know each other better. [addsig]

I don't think that you quite understood me there A_S, whta I meant was to have CLANS inside the snarkpit, like say you,lep, orph and someone else in one clan, and some others like reno, yak etc in another and other members in another, then we could have a clan comp when HL2 comes out to see what clan produces the best map.

I think this is a good idea

The problem is that nobody really plays at the moment, meaning clans are all but pointless. Perhaps once HL2 is out, and the snarkpit's member list buldges out with actively playing members, then it might be worth looking into.

I didn't mean it as in hl clans but more like gangs, within the snarkpit, not necceseraly having to play HL. Like mini teams.

No offence, but I don't really see the point, to be honest. I mean, if I wanted to collaborate with someone, I'd just ask them. No need to have rival teams/gangs running about the pit doing whatever rivals do on forum-based websites.

Basically it equates to team mapping.. I don't think it would work, and if people want to implement dual authorship of a map, they don't need this site to do it

The idea is far too vague, and no offence, a bit pointless

I am pointless OK, baes on that idea, how about team mapping tornaments once a year?

We already have one or two contests a year, which get a decent enough number of entrants, but having more contests might see a drop in that. I think its quite cool having different contest themes each time around, no doubt team mapping will get its turn sometime. [addsig]

I'd like if prefabs and models were able to have decent sized screenshots. It's hard to make out any details with 120x90. I know the sections aren't used much, but I'm sure there'll be a hl2 model section so we might as well refine it sooner rather than later.

hey lep, is there a way to renew the old map topics so they can use chapters too? I wanted to do like a beta2 chapter for my map thread but I was unable too.

Would be nice to be able to upload example maps with tutorials, as I've in the past hosted them elsewhere which tends to result in broken links after a while. Perhaps just allow a small (<500kb) zip file containing rmfs, maps, or small bsps to be uploaded like the screenshots. [addsig]

Indeedy, thanks a lot mate, we don't really show our appreciation as much as we should. Very few sites have such a sense of community to them, and I think that it is as much due to the features we are provided with at this site as much as the people.

Errr, might be wise not to have posted that here though, I sense thread derailment

Another suggestion is to have a "Post Mortem" on the creation of levels. They ahve to be well thought up rounded, good articles reviewed by you Leperous to achieve a standard. Put them in the tutorials or articles section. That way level designers can go back after releaseing a level and say what they did right and wrong and what they'd change or definately would not change if they had to redo the levels. I know I could do like two at least, I'm sure reno could do some. THen you guys can get your idol KFS to do a couple maybe and then newbies can read them and learn from them!
