Unless there are major changes desired, this will be the final version.
I have other projects planned including doing well in school.

last thing you need to do is change the name. (take off the b6)

I'd love to but that might get more confusion going around. I'm working
on a secret project right now. Once that is done I might go and make
custom props for eveyrthing. Maybe than I'll release the complete final
version with no b6 on it.

On a side note thanks for having my level on your servers, I really appreciate it.

Thanks for making it, we appreciate having it to play :biggrin:

Hey Ferret, you should go defend yourself in this Steam Forums thread, because the "Super Moderator - Crash" says that people showing images of white and yellow distortion is saying "Apparently whoever made the map does not know how to use the Fog right..."

I'm suggesting that because this guy is in charge of the entire forums, not just some numnuts 12 year old noob posting.

K, I'm lazy, any changes made since page 1? I think you shouldn't add too many physics items, leave the fragging more up to original style weaponry.

i read that thread twice, i am not real clear on where the quote came from. perhaps its my ignorance of the ways of that forum. all it sounded to me like was, a driver error and someone wanted to blame the map, instead of themselves.

can some explain where that quote came from?

I made the map in 1 week and fine tuned it for another 2 weeks as soon
as i got the game. I was learning the engine. So if there is problem
with the fog, you're right. I dont know how to use it properly. Its a
learning process and I think I did pretty well given the time I had to
do it. I've never been able to duplicate the effect so I think its
people's rigs and their drivers.

About the only thing i ever notice in a map is, texture choices.

when i had my old machine, i never noticed this, and i wonder if the authors run their machines on all resolutions and all settings, from low to high.

my new machine pretty much will run the game full out, and in some maps i notice textures that are so out of place, i wonder if anyone else sees it. could it be the texture, my machine, or the authors failure to notice cause his machine was smaller than mine?

anywho's, i have seen no fog glitches in this map, so far.

texture choice?

I'm confused lol

not specifically your map ferret. i am commenting in general terms.

in some maps, i will be walking a long and see this texture so out of place that you wonder, why is it there?

a good example is yaks map, there is a hallway with a blackish reflective quality. it has no reason to be there that i can determine.

I think its meant to be inside / between two combine road blocks, hence
the dark metal. Yak mentioned he had some cubemap issues in the map
though, and I think its one of the trouble places, hence why its sooooo
shiny.

While i firmly believe that an author should do everything within their power to make the best map possible, i do not believe that they should replace their card with low end, or older type just to work out every possible bug.

i do however believe that if an author recieves a report of a bug "prior" to release, everything humanly possible should be done to remedy it.

on a personal level, anyone with an older card should consider themselves lucky for each map they can play, and just ignore the ones they cannot without causing the author any undo grief.
