Critiques.

Given that I can fit some in, I am open for business. Critiques can be public or private upon request.

All I ask is, you state in advance which you want, and understand that a critique is given freely, so keep your anger to yourself if it doesn't suit you afterward.

I will be sorely disappointed if some of the old timers fail to contact me before the contest ends.

Good luck and good mapping.

I've not done any mapping for a months now Orph so i'm afraid i'll have to decline :sad: More than willing to lend a hand though if anyone wants extra feedback.

Unfortunately no maps are forthcoming from me. I simply haven't got the time anymore. :sad:

cool, i got my first PM already too :smile:

rubs hands together

let the fun begin.

bumps

did one for lep, one for reno, and had to pass on one for omega, anyone else?

before you pick on omega, it was my PC's fault, not his.

hopefully by Monday I'll have something uploaded for you to look at

Assuming I can get the webspace, and assuming I can squeeze in a full compile, AND assuming you're willing to download sven-coop, would you consider doing a critique on a beta/alpha Classic?

i do not have HL installed. so any critique will need to be HL2.

i don't know how to play CS:S so if anyone wants one of those, it will have to be basic architecture comments only.
my apologies for not doing any more HL critiques.

TM_Abandoned please :biggrin:

talk to me on MSN and ill send it to you :biggrin:

i am on my way to bed, you no have a linky?

guthrun@sbcglobal.net can accept 10 megs zips. just lemme know its there.

and private, or public?

if there is no other way, i will catch you tomorrow perhaps :smile:

nite/nite all

yeah, sorry bud. :sad:

I can still help if anyone wants HL1 feedback :smile: And obviously HL2...

I don't really have the time for mapping at the moment, so lending a hand to others would make me feel like i'm doing something mapping-wise :wink:

Anyone is welcome to give me a holler.

what he said

Im ashamed to admit it, but... how do you make those saweet light beams seen so often in maps? I haven't had any spare time to play around with the entities lately. :sad:

i hate to say this but,
this is general, not editing.

Sorry, Im a bit confused what your asking for :sad: but i'm willing to help!

point_spotlight. It's that simple.

just in case this has slipped your minds folks.. (mostly the new members)

we who critique maps, we do not just go get maps to do. if you do not personally request our services, we won't do one.

we learned a long time ago not to randomly critique maps, in spite of the fact that people claim they want feedback when they post their maps. for some reason, a full blown critique causes angry responses.

so if you are waiting for one of us to just grab your map and run with it.. you are wasting your time.

none of us will just "do" a critique.

/ 2 cents

Heh, what he said :smile:

No-one other than Lep has asked me for any feedback yet. I'm feeling all unwanted and stuff :wink:

hey, where did you post it? i wanna read what points you picked up on? where's your critique?
i am always curious as to what i missed. if its a PM, forward it my way.

BTW, i did a private one for reno, he might be calling you too.. if you nudge him a trifle. time constraints and all that jazz.

due to time constraints with my job, you might consider multiple members to get your critique from as i may not be able to get to it soonish.

also, be sure "how" you want it posted, either public in the forums or private in the PM's

public will get you more feedback, private is harder cause you cannot edit mistakes once sent. but they are possible, if you first send it to yourself.

also, include the link to said map, or be clear where or which email you sent it to.

So basically your asking for map reviewers? am i right?

no.

The reason I haven't asked for any more critiques is because the map
isn't ready for them yet (which also means it isn't going to the
contest unfortunately :sad: ). I'm still going to finish and release the
map, so in a few weeks it will probably be needing the good old testing
phase.

my stupid bus gave me fits all day. i am mentally incapable of doing any critiques tonight cause i am still pissed.

anyone whom i said i would do them today, i am sorry but they will have to wait till i return.. which will be Saturday i suppose.

again, my apologies. :sad:

I would ask for critiques, but I don't have an actual map for people to critique yet. Joy. :smile:

in your case, it can be classified as "worth the wait" :smile:

Can you critique my map, fy_icewar_rc1 for CS?

I know its an fy map, i know it contains the word ice, but least its not world2k or such.

Also i feel i put more effort in than the authors of the other fy_ice* maps.

Are you still working on it? Its been in your profile for 6 months :biggrin:

I personally can only do HL2 maps people, if you need other mods, you need to specifically inquire with the others doing critiques.

Also, i am doing some critiques today, 2 so far.. 1 is complete and the second is underway as I type. If someone else asked yesterday and I accidentally deleted your PM, please resend it.

I am currently working on "DM_Hydro" .. "DM_Abandoned" is up in the maps forums.

be good.

At the risk of alienating a whole bunch of people - i'd rather give feedback on 'proper' maps than glorified killboxes. I don't know how many variations there have been made of 'Iceworld' but bear in mind that the original was nothing special. I don't understand how it could have gotten so many people rebuilding the exact same map over and over :sad:

Give me something with meat on them there bones :wink:

I'll be requesting a critique in the next month or so, just an alpha one...

Critiques are time consuming, so I cannot make any promises. I will however do any/all I receive that are HL2, assuming I can.

I had to decline one already, cause it was the biggest map I have ever seen, and my comp stuttered while attempting to look at some of the views.

My liking or disliking you will not be a consideration. If I accept/decline the request, it won't be for that reason. All my critiques are 100% fair.

On a personal note, I would like to read all critiques public and private, so if you do one point me in its direction or forward it to me via PM.

/me is off to bed..

be good

bumps

till i get a card i can use, my critiquing will be on hold.

sorry fellas. :sad:
