i was just wondering how you like to put credits on your maps.
...i hope someone votes.

Personally, I feel that it is nearly as important to credit those who invested their valuable time in your creation AS the creation itself.

I voted other however because no one option is the correct choice for me. My main credit medium is the classic text file associated with the zip but if its important enough I will also include a game text entity message and perhaps an easter egg. I have also had use of textures with key personages upon them.

In the end, its just so important to me that I mention as many as I can humanly recall.. INDIVIDUALLY!

You will prolly never see me say "Thanx to the gang at Snarkpit"

Its just so ungrateful. :sad:

The best things in life, aren't things.

<span style="color: white;">I used to put boxes with textured credits in my maps, but nowadays I just add my nick into a .txt. I think mapping is mostly dead for me now. I only partake in Snarkpit competitions occasionally. I blame the lack of time. :sad: </span>

I voted "other" like Orpheus for pretty much the same reason.

In my opinion, you should always do a complete credit listing in your readme file. But I also enjoy putting/seeing a decal of your nick in a map, as well as game_text easter eggs (find a hidden room and it displays, or press a button on the wall)... always a fun surprise.

I like placing brushes wrapped in a texture of myself in every corner of the map along with speaker towers yelling my name while playing Ave Maria in the background. :heee:

Oh and every now and then my name flashes on the players' screens with a bright-red font, just to remind them whose map they're playing.

it's a mix of those options. usually game_text + text on a texture + .txt file rar'd with the bsp's<br style="font-family: Verdana;">

I voted other -- for me, it's really based on the scale of the map. Some kind of full blown production, such as classic, had a formal "credits scene" at the end of the map. Factions on the other hand, mainly used a solid with text on it, and of course, both maps features credits in a text file.

So yea. I'd mainly do the credits in game, since the number of people who read a text file is marginal.

I voted other for the same reasons as Orpheus listed.

guys, guys, GUYS!!!!

didn't you read the 3rd option?

"attach a txt/html with the map files"

am i wrong or isn't that the option you'd have chosen?
or my english isn't good enough so you couldn't understand?

unless:

AtM and midkay: with "i voted "other" for the same reason as Orpheus listed" you mean "no one option is the correct for me" or "my credit medium is the classic txt file associated with the zip" ?

anyway, thanks for voting! 3 (or 1) votes goes to the 3rd option... if i'm not wrong.

Calm down my Peruvian ally.

My main one is a text file yes, but I almost always use 1, 2, and 3.

Your English is Ok, you are just focusing on the #3 option as if it were all there was to my reply.

ohh i get you now. (and i was calm-ed all the time, i knew that would "sound" like i wasn't) :rolleyes:

I only add all the stuff in a .txt-file.
Mainly since my "thanks to" -lists always become huge, and include about 50 names.

Hi all

I would use a game_text (at the end of the game) with a txt file as well. The start of my MOD is to cool to have credits. Anyway My credits will be short because I built the mod. Although My brother did build the Pelican space rocket and one other thing....
