Do you guys on the team think we should let anyone outside the team see our maps before the whole map is a beta?

I mean, it's a nice gesture that other people are giving comments and suggestions on the screenshots, and I appreciate that, but don't ya think we ought to keep the actual bsps and rmfs inside the team..and not let anyone see our work until it's in completed beta form?

I really think we ought to just keep the maps themselves in only the team's eyes and posession until beta. If we let just anyone see the maps beforehand, then that may break down the structure of the team.

What you guys think?

I'm speaking from experience here, too. I've run three single player mod teams...and the third got real bad because people outside the team wanted to see the work before it was "beta." So much of it got out that the team fell apart, literally....even tho we all had agreed beforehand not to show anyone anything til beta...except screenshots.

I think you'll find it helpful to let 'outside' people see them maps - even if it's only a select few. Different eyes pick up on things you wouldn't notice yourself - be it texture mis-alignments, gameplay issues etc.

I'm not saying give your maps out to anyone that asks, just people who's opinions you value

few outside snarkpit have the cohesion that we have established here, i have seen failures too, but it was not directly the results of the beta testers, but more the close minded,untrustworthy, and/or in flexible nature of incompatible mappers and their techniques..

i offer my advice at any stage of the maps life, i force my opinions on no one, if i don't see the map till its put together, so be it, BUT when it calls for a major refit, because a section sucks, well thats an issue the author will have to deal with at that time.. any author.

maps fail from lack of feedback, they never fail because of it..

we, in the original pitcrew map, released compiled versions of the bsp from the beginning, but in pieces? not often, some of the participants opted not to.. BUT they were new to snarkpit then, it might be different now.

IMO the "team" includes all SP regulars, even if they aren't contributing directly to the map. One of the biggest strengths of this place is the level of constructive feedback a person can expect. it would be a waste to reject that. [addsig]

I agree with TB, here at Snarkpit, (the regulars at least) are all one big team. We all helped each other out, and we all give feedback (which we all take a reject as we see fit). So I dont mind having "outside" people see our work. But I do have a thing against sending other people our .RMF's. In my opinion, that is not something they need. .BSP's and screens are enough. And its only for feedback.

And I'm still waiting on sections here..

Yeah I know. Got a ton of Uni work at the moment and lots of other commitments as well. Hopefully I'll find an hour or two to work on it tonight, then I can mail it to you.
