Frissi,
you made some great maps for hl1, so we just naturally expect the same kind of exellence from you . You make em' and I'll play em! ( oh yes and stop by the server sometime and say hi, its been along time)
(DOA) Jethro's Asylum

Ct44, gorami, and now frissi. I like this trend!

The maps section is a great place to improve.

Thats the spirit man

I TAKE THIS AS A CHALLENGE !

SOON i will start making some kind of a detailed well done map.

Ill post the progress in the forum and will be open for critisism !

If you don't want any criticism (and it seems like that to me) then why do you post your map at a place like snarkpit?

You said you made 20+ maps. That means you've spent a lot of time mapping and I think Orpheus is right when he says that you could have come up with a little more ambitious mapping projects now. This is a typical "nice but not awesome" map.

Spend the time you spend on three maps on only one map instead and you could produce something that will get more attention here and probably more rotations on other servers too. Bigger projects are lot of work but very rewarding in the end.

I am so tired of nobodies commenting on that silly castle.

There its gone. Look at my finished maps. Assuming you have the sense to figure out the "Expand" link.

Seems you have the same problem with your maps, so i guess it is a eye for a eye with your ideas lol--I actually mapped half of that concept myself for a mod.... However, your map seems to be quite inaccurate. (Not into realism?) But however, may I suggest that you make it more like the concept? I could see running around in a castle pwning peeps as a fun deathmatch map, but a crappy little castle that has blocky cylinders? and a few walls? My suggestions are to follow the concept more, and if you actually finish this as a deathmatch map, maybe add tunnels for connectivity. Right now it looks nothing like the actual concept... I hope it will later on. (If you actually want the barbarican I made from this concept, I would gladly give you it with no credit.)

Nevermind. You'll never understand. Sometimes I wonder why you come here. You know its a site dedicated to the advancement of mappers in their art.

I have played some of the most ugly maps anyone has ever seen and loved every minute of it. Its not looks I care about. Its advancement. You are still creating the same kind of maps you did a few months after you learned how. You have 20 now? How many of those can you line up and see "Improved technique?"

In the end, it comes down to your desire to be better. If you are content to stagnate why bother coming to an editing site? You can remain with the people who think you are.. Good enough.

Before any of your cronies show up to run their mouths about my maps. My profile has 9 maps in it. Anyone with half a brain can see they improved with each release. All I see is 9 crappy maps... I only submitted them because I was asked to post them here. I removed them once, and regretted it.

If you think I am hard on you, its nothing compared to how hard I am on myself.

I like the way my mapping skills are at the moment, i dont the have time to study the new engine to the fullest.

I know hint brushes and proper techinique will help big detailed maps to run good, i used hint brushses in desert_rose_v1 and v2.

I am a mapper who makes simple,small maps because he likes to.

Mapping is about the players btw, i make maps to create a fun game for me and my friends.

Its a free world, i create my maps and just let me do my work... i dont understand why you should ban me posting more maps in my profile since its just text, i aint taking any space cause i dont upload any images or that kind of stuff.

Virg, more than likely, you are one of the ones doing the damage to Frissi. If it takes me being a total asshole to get him to break out of the rut he is in, so be it. You are not helping him by comforting him with bulls**t praises.

Frissi maps. Frissi could map well. Frissi maps like a n00b because he wasn't taught proper technique. Read this very maps comments. He is blaming his machine for substandard framerates? What kind of bulls**t excuse is that? Proper optimization of layout and planning will make his machine work wonders on almost anything he could possibly create.

Frissi, I am saying this not to be kind, but to be straight up honest. Ditch the players for a while and LEARN HOW TO MAP!

HL2 is not fragile. Hammer is not fragile. YOU ARE!

I have offered for a few years now to help you, I cannot speak for anyone else around here but I can do that much. I am almost at the point of writing you off as a lost cause because you simply show no willingness to learn.

I've said my final piece. If you return here with another completed piece of s**t map that did NOT pass through Snarkpits critiquing process, I will never offer to help you again.

NO, I cannot say anyone will never help you but, besides me, how many are there.
