kz_bkz_tropicbhop is not good enough to have the kz_tag ... and kzarg_lostrome + bkm_problock should not even be in this release ... theyre not even good enough to be customs ... both thoes maps looks like its the first map they ever built, wierd release :P ... but i guess this is because of the new "public mapcheck team" .. and if it is, i can say that 80% of everyone in the new mapcheck time got uber bad feeling for design :P ... I guess we can start sending in all the unofficial maps out there!?, theire probably good enough to be official now ! :) .. btw, kz_kzdk_megablock <3<3<3<3 :)

This map has many secrets. And ya - maybe it's not so fun to play it. But kz spirit isn't only that. He made things what make this map a perfect map for me. And still cause of this fast release it has no mini-map, but still it's perfect comparing to others. Sure I said eddy that map needs some more time, but does he listen? No. And you know why? - CAUSE IT'S *** EDDY. [u]Result[/u]: 9 [b]sb_speedvalley[/b] Comments: Yes and here I'm lazy, but guy. You made a nice peace of work here even if map is short.

Lol numb.... your "criticism" is the most pathetic thing i have seen today! I mean, WHY critizize a map when you just can citizize a RAR FILE? WTF DUDE And stop grinding over and over about your ugly ass shit eating detail textures! STOP GOD DAMN If you really feel like you need that much attention by an INTERNET COMMUNITY(!) you should look for a good psychiatrist who can give ya the proper drugs... I feel very sorry for the mappers who had to read your shit.... And I dont care wether i get warned for this or not.. I cant say much about the maps atm... Ill test them tomorrow!

NumB
03/06/2009 00:40:00

mtoboiii8000 stfu if you don't know about what you are talking, ok? None of maps don't have map description made right (except arabhop). None of maps dont have download list made right (except arabhop). None maps have sound system made right (except arabhop). None maps have features what client can enable/disable (except arabhop). And totally no maps aren't protected from texture-refresh-bug. But come to fact - this map release is the same as previous. But I'm tired of this bullshit. Mappers are making nice brushes and always have good ideas. Sometimes they are good, sometimes they are wrong. But omfg. Before working with the engine lern it!!! I am tired of this fucking bugs in maps what mappers can easy avoid. But do they do so? - no. Now look really how it will be. kz_bkz_tropicbhop will be forgotten in about a week - nothing special and who cares how much mapper worked. kz_kzdk_megablock will be as popular as some temple map (I don't even remeber the name - fucking the same rooms over and over again. Plus map is long). bkm_problock will be less popular than kzsca_dawn (does anyone even know that map?) kzlt_arabhop will have new wrs time to time cause it's full of secrets. But is just a simple bhop map (not even finished so perfectly as it could thanks to eddy). sb_speedvalley will be as popular as kzm_tinymoutain (I think you know that map but forgot it long time ago). My suggestions sure don't make maps more fun. But they make them less lagy/buggy, so servers will play them more often. If you are too stupid to understand that - sorry... Plus accepted as official KZ tag. KZ rules should be much more strict than for example amxx. But if some noob creates a amxx plugins - admins notice it instantly. If some noob makes a bugy map - drunk eddy accepts it. If some pro makes some map - eddy is drunk and lets his emotions on top (cause of him we already lost mappers like dropsys, raver, angie...). Ya, raver is weird in times but why not just ignore those times? Anyway you got the point... And if not - you'r probably eddy. No, I like that guy, but... I could say really much but whatever...

New maps are gorgeous... good job. But I would still prefer some oldschool styled maps, with buggy shortcuts and random textures. They are made too perfect, thats why they are not that funny, as they could be.

03/06/2009 00:57:00

Ok NumBboy... Why dont you just create a perfect map? If it is THAT SIMPLISTIC! Next map release i wanna see "numb_uglyassshit" added to the record list! If you have the ultimate knowledge and know ANYTHING about the HL engine it will be easy for you! And btw... kzsca_dawn and tinymountain are still played alot... Oh and pls stop telling us the "REAL" challenge the maps have... YOU ARE JUSTA FUCKING NUB WHO DOESNT KNOW ANYTHING. Not about jumping! Not about mapping! I guess the only thing you dont fail is failing in life you fucking faggot.

Maybe maps arent perfect these days, maybe mappers arent expending correct time on it.

well to give my actual opinion. (more than they probably suck) tropicbhop wins, its the most fun for my playing style, although yeah its a bit bright and a more realistic water texture could have been used, but hey im here to jump not take pictures. i played the old version of lostrome and it was sweet, nice combos but evened out with kz. yet to play the new one. the rest of the maps (excluding speedvalley which i havent played) felt like deja vous....at first i thought the ideas and style of the jumps we're nice, new and creative...then for some reason it felt like i was going in circles cause its ALL THE SAME!!! every little new style jump was repeated until it was just gay not creative and cool... and anyone paying out on numb, hes entitled to his opinion, about 50% of you know nothing about mapping and ur allowed to comment on what u think. hes stating the things he didnt like about them - therefor what is unspoken is spoken. change those things and it will be better - ie. constructive in saying that congrats to all the mappers, although most are not my taste im sure many ppl will get enjoyment out of your work. keep up with the mapping kz needs you peace out mofockAz

It is always ironic that criticism of our own map at least you learn stuff, like what it has nothing to do in the release or it is zero but personally I was alone for this one is my 1st map although for some it is useless for me and it is good and then criticizing those waiting with impatience your map ^ ^.

kz[a] Hazard : "hes stating the things he didnt like about them" NumB : "* Real challenge ez-average (-2). * Textures too bright at the start (-1). * No detail textures (-1). * Texture names don't start from mapname (-1). * Text file in wrong folder (-1). * Res file downloads files what are automatically downloaded by the engine (-1). * Sounds work right but still hl engine uses more power to get needed data than it should (-1). * Rar contains unneeded files for the map (-1). * Had problems finding start button (-1)." are you fucking kidding me?! since when is this type of criteria a judgement to grading maps? i know Winkuz (which is lithuanian) made arabhop (you NumB probably helped him alot) but to asslick like that one map and destroy a map like megablock (which has a pretty unique style when it comes to jumps/atmosphere/textures), this just makes me ignore your entire post. sry if this bothers you, but...give me a fucking break with your ideas about mapping. JUST MAKE A DAMN MAP! if you know so much about mapping... do you really think its that easy to build a map? or for that matter to make a movie? or own a world record? why isnt everyone on this website (at least the ones that are active) on the records list? why isnt the movies section of the forum spammed by NON-STOP UBER FREAKING AWESOME MOVIES? why arent there only unique maps in the record list? CAUSE ITS HARD TO MAKE A MAP/MOVIE/WORLD RECORD... if its easy for you... the start right ahead mate... cant wait to see what you come up with. sry for my long post... i`ll comeback later with my feedback about the maps.

I is not against Numb xd I even agree with him on the fact that my map is invalid because with all the changes on my request to make it look like the bottom was nothing compared with the original so-called too hard ^ ^. Good bitter is my 1st map for my other 2 on some of that style of mapping was vastly different because I learned a new technique for doing something I did not before. Personally I criticize certain person who called who never ever "hammer" of their lives and who do not know all the constraints that we have because if there was no constraint of these map to see the most beautiful days .

03/06/2009 14:12:00

i think hes trying to make a point. the maps seem rushed to release. i'd take one quality map (sorry none of these) over 6 quantity maps. just cause the way the mapchecking has changed, doesnt mean you have to spam release to satisfy the community. cause in turn all that does is lead to dissatisfaction....which is explicitly evident by the consistent disdain of the majority of the maps from this release.

Noone still doesn't give a fuck what I'm trying to say. I'm saying that mappers don't give a fuck about the engine. And I don't like it. If what it's not related that I was denied some time ago from mapcheck team. I'm actually happy cause of it cause even if I would be there I couldn't change anything cause eddy is stupid. Those who think that I can't map - don't speak for me if you don't even know what I can. However I still don't know some things to make a perfect map. And that's why I'm not mapping. But things what I don't know - none of nowadays mappers know. And let me remind you that my rates are more how engine works with maps - not how fun textures/jumps are. So everyone who thinks that I'm here just to flame mappers - you are completely wrong.

Enough with the offenses towards eddy NumB, you're pushing it a bit too far... Eddy is doing a lot of great stuff for XJ lately and I'm more than happy that we have him, so I can't tolerate how you speak about him. Also you gotta face and accept the fact that the average guy (~90% about the community) doesn't know and frankly doesn't care much about the things listed in your posts. [quote]* Text file in wrong folder (-1).[/quote] You gotta admit that this is pathetic, if you are really serious about it. Remember: XJ and the maps are FUNprojects. No-one gets payed for what he or she does.

In all the maps that I do I hide a dinosaur that is in a wall or in a secret room or even visible in the map is its my little touch of originality ^ ^ I love jurassic park it is a project a map of my future which is yet at the stage of paper ^ ^ (the theme will be a dark night dinosaurs will and fears over the small climb which would fall more than one xd). I said nothing more because I have already two other maps to correct and two draft a first contact end.

[b]megablock:[/b] mapped quite perfectly i'd say. original and challenging, but rather too challenging/demanding and a too long. If you do such a quality map, make it somehow shorter or w/e, because not many of us play so huge maps just for fun... [b]tropicbhop/ arabhop/ lostrome:[/b] boring.. just boring. nothing fancy, nothing inventive haven't played the other two so far

NumB
05/06/2009 02:17:00

I know that it's a bit pathetic, faker. But if there is no map description named by mapname.txt in maps folder - every time when you want to read map description it takes much more power from the engine. Cause: If there is that file it's read and data is saved in rams. When you request that info - it's read from rams. If there is no map description file - it scans it always when you request it. When it's not found it scans maps folder and prints you as much maps as it can. (much more CPU power needed) I script plugins. And such mistakes in coding would be unacceptable. Thats why I search mistakes like that always (specially if it has something to do with hl engine) (and specially if those mistakes are stupid [no - honestly - they are stupid] and if they aren't rare). In other words I apologize if I went of the line on eddy. I respect him (no - really) for what he did, is doing and will do for xj. But except mapchecking (probably cause when he waits a plugin from me - it just must to be perfect even if it's private. But when something unchangeable will come [like map] he just doesn't care about CPU [only if fps are lower than 40 than maybe if..]). However and also I wont change my thoughts about the maps, cause I'm idealist in cases like this, plus this is my choice of how to rate. Once again and even more simple: I'm sorry if I cross the line about eddy. But I'm not taking any words back.

NumB, why do you have to learn anything about engine before you start mapping? Ur the only1 who cares about some random text files and sound system, does anyone after you noticed those things? You can't rate a map by those criterias, or just simple by a rar file, you rate the map by .bsp file, aight? And i have to say too that i'm tired of ur bullshit you're writing in every maprelease, make a perfect map for the next release and shut up.

Nice one NumB. Next step would be requesting the .rmf files and check for CPU expensive stuff around the maps as well. Go go, I'm tired of having 10 fps on all maps! Will check these maps out later but I guess I'll be having 5 fps considering these crucial errors mentioned by NumB. :|
