No, no, you need to make the grains in the wood run the same way.

You'll want a French server anyway, so that you'll get a nice low ping

« on: December 26, 2007, 08:57:07 AM »
It's not about accepting your ban, you don't have a choice. It's about realising you may have harmed servers which people pay alot of money for, and saying sorry, showing regret for what you've done.

« on: December 26, 2007, 08:21:03 AM »And he doesn't owe you any apology
He does, he owes the community an apology for creating this ruckus. Lets not get into a debate about whether or not the committee is doing its job, if you don't think it is then vote for different people next time round.
I think Sonny has taken the sensible route, he has no other choice but to be civil, it's the other people in this community that are causing the problems and unrest.

Fair point, and can't you just say that next time? I know you'll be pissed at him for crashing the servers (as am I), but it seems like you're trying to elicit a verbal attack rather than an apology. I understand your position, but seeing it in every thread he posts in is just getting a little tedious now.

The pieces of wood that you use your feet to climb up on a real ladder. The textures all need to be running the same way.

I understand that there will be a reelection
Were you referencing something he edited out of his post or is this totally unprovoked?
Yeah, sorry for your ban Sonny, it was totally undeserved.

Paintball 2 Discussion / Re: Problems with this game
« on: December 26, 2007, 07:19:21 AM »3) People don't seem to realize that this is just a game, it isn't real life.
And therefore the community and forum are not representative of real life. As I said before, you're not doing yourself any favours by constantly dragging this through the mire. As an impartial onlooker I've already seen your opinion 4 or 5 times in different threads, it's out there, people know about it, people have debated it and now is the time to let the people who count think and deliberate.

Server Discussion / Re: Leezerz.com Jump Server
« on: December 24, 2007, 11:49:16 AM »The server owners and their admins can run the servers any way they see fit, unfortunately.....
I think this can be changed, Jitspoe has the power to take them off the serverlist. It could be a globalserver ban =D
Maybe there should be a committee of server owners.

Ok, first things first, always release a beta version first. That way if you need to make any changes there wont be any 'map version differs' problems, and even if you think no changes are necessary its still good practice. Just append your mapname with _b1 or _beta1 or something similar.
I think your ladders look great, but you should avoid overlapping brushes as it can adversely affect the tris (not something you want to do in bigger maps). In this map you can get away with it, but its good practice to avoid overlaps where possible.
Some of the face textures on you 'haybails' are not aligned properly. Select the face and press s, then enter a value in the r box and press apply to face to rotate the texture.
This is not so bad, as leaving one unit gaps can help to reduce r_speeds, but in the case of this map i think you can afford to move the ladders right back so that they're touching.
At the moment you've got an info_player_start entity outside the level with lighting as well! No, no, no, no, no my dear boy! Box that room up like below and you'll cut your compile time in half.
Other than that the map is not too bad, although theres not much to it. I don't think you should have this map as a gunning map, its waaaaaaay too small. Also, it is not immediately apparent that the poles that lead up to the platforms are ladders, I'm not sure if i like this. The barrels are kind of weird too, not wrong, just not to my preference. Some of the metal textures could be realigned to make them neater, but thats up to you.
I think the map should give you a good idea of how to manipulate brushes and deal with entities, but i don't think it should be released. You need to take what you've learnt from this map and apply it to a more ambitious venture.

Cheater Reports and Bans / Re: crash threat
« on: December 23, 2007, 07:05:26 PM »
Unless Loial has proof that he attempted to crash the server then I would treat this as an idle threat. Much like when Dagless says 'Reed, I hate you so much. I swear I'm going to hurt you.'
Even so, most admins have patched up there servers by now, so there should be no real threat. However, nobody should try and exec this command regardless of whether the server is patched up or not, if you do you can be caught and you will be punished.

Paintball 2 Discussion / Re: Voice of community
« on: December 23, 2007, 06:43:37 PM »
I agree, it was not an accident, but i don't believe it was done with malicious intent.
Additionally, sk89q apologised immediately after he crashed the server. I have not received one apology from those who attacked my server, infact all i have received is abuse and denial.
So then, is it fair to treat someone who maliciously attacked several populated servers and shows no remorse, the same as someone who 'tested' the command on an empty server and immediately apologised?
I'm not going to debate what punishment should be given, that is for the committee to decide for now, but i do believe the severity should reflect the circumstances in each case.

Makes perfect sense to me, but then I can see both sides of the argument.
I tend to agree with Lekky's consequentialist view.

« on: December 22, 2007, 06:40:11 AM »not to mention that they wouldnt even need modified skin at a certain point, if someone could make a person wear completely(or even somewhat) black, why would they need a skin? they'd pretty much be cheating legally :/
Thats why I said predmoninatnly one colour, the black could just be trim and would give no real advantage.
