I think he's insinuating that the owner of this 'site' has used winbsp to make other people's maps his own - though why anyone would claim a killbox to be their own I don't know....

There is a map on the site called 'Turkeyburgers' which i'm pretty sure was made by someone else a fair while back - so unless its another remake of the SiN map....meh, who knows :confused:

sorry i figured somebody would have looked past the front page. at that point i was too tired to go into details. first try this link to his "my maps" section.

http://www.nymasis.fu8.com/Maps.htm

now if you look at the maps ....

cracker_killers = cracker_killbox by docrock(doc does know about it i guess hes cool with it)

nymasis = ancient i knew it was ancient even before i read the text file which had [quote]
  • CREDITS * All got to me

thanks to Legion for the first build of ancient
thats what i modeled it after.
[/quote]

play his version and try to tell me that is was not made from a decompiled map. for that matter i am doubtful he asked legion or informed him about the map.

turkeyburgers = his? i did a search and i didnt come up with his name as the author. maybe somebody here knows who made it.

i havent checked koolbox yet and the link to gordons_office is screwed up.

the point...it just bothers me seeing winbsp abused again(just ask orph how many decompiled maps are on prefabland). hence the topic "gf winbsp".

oh and orph.....i hope this wasnt directed at moi..

sadly, till unseth finishes setting up the site, we will be cursed with the crap in the maps section :sad:

but i promise, i will clean house someday.

right now, real life is completely occupying his time.. but he promises the site will be up by HL2's release.. (hopefully before duke 4)

[edit]

well even with my DSL , the pages take forever to load, so....

and from what i see, he is only picking the BEST maps to claim/remake/steal so i don't see any of ours being used anytime soon :rolleyes:

not much future in a page full of 1.5 megs pics..

If the maps are nicked from other people using WinBSP (I don't know as I don't tend to play custom HLDM maps), isn't it slightly ironic that all content of the site has his copyright on it?

aaaah, now I see...

I dunno about the other maps, but I remember turkeyburgers from TFC - not sure who made it ^_^ if he does use WinBSP to rip maps it'll probably show in their shonky construction and whatnot..

Turkeyburgers is made by someone else- http://www.planethalflife.com/complex/reviews/mp_turkeyburgers.shtm

All this little s**thead has done is probably b0rked a few people's copy of turkeyburgers. I see an opportunity for an e-mail prank here regarding his 'copyrights', anyone want to help..?

Playing a prank on him would be akin to hiding a blind persons shoes. Actually, on second thoughts do it soley for the fact that he's using marquee. :smile:

I can't understand why he chose to rip the maps he did (aperently) I've always loved a game of turkeyburgers, but honestly, the rest are s**t.

Someone ripped one of my maps once... (Leggo, if anyone ever heard of it). It sucks teh h4rd, but he made it suck teh 3v3n h4rder. All he did was take out the lighting (which was basically the reason I made the map) and took out the secrets (which were crappy, but also rather useful). And, of course, I wasn't mentioned in the readme- he didn't give any credit on where he got the base for the map.

I just don't get people, sometimes.

The problem I find with the "flattery" is that the people who decompile and release maps are ones who are not of higher skill...those mappers have their own maps to release. I don't want someone using my map and releasing a sub-par version and giving it a bad name, because often they don't even refer to the original author. So if you hear about "mapA" and you've only seen the s**t version then why would you ever want to play "mapA" again? You wouldn't and wouldn't know that a better original existed.
