I also don't have to reload Renegade. But I only have to Reconnect to WOL. In the server list even after downloading the map, the server list will still say I don't have the map. After reconnecting it's fine.
Size doesn't matter.

ACK, why don't you include who the original map maker was in all your readmes?
I see only in glacier where it says who the original map maker was, the rest of your maps, you don't mention the original author, so you are guilty of the same thing you tell others, in fact you are worse because you are just ripping off westwood maps.
anyway, I see no point in adding your readmes to maps because everyone know who made them, and just because your readmes aren't included doesn't mean the server host is taking credit. If you have a problem with that you can make your maps non-public. Because obviously you use a lot of things that you don't give credit for in your maps, why should we be required to be any different?

How would you know about the readme.txt files? After all, you gratuitously removed each readme.txt file with all of my levels and tossed them into some "map pack" without even consulting me about it.
We've all been through this "omg! hes stealzoring ww mapz!!!" It's all been proven wrong, numerous times. I'll run it over with you once more:
1. You're some random person online who probably hasn't been here since the first time I released anything with the assistance of Westwood Studios.
2. You obviously don't know what happened between WS and myself.
3. You don't even know that Louis Castle, co-founder of WS, was the one who authorized me to have everything that I do now.
If you want to continue this, sure, go right ahead... Just remember that you don't have all the facts, and it's rather difficult to argue about something you know fuck all about.
If everyone knew "who I was" when they used something I made, why is it that I still have a lot of people saying "you didnt make this, aircraftkiller did" when I go into Renegade, even after stating who I am when asking for their opinions?
Come on now...

first of all I included your readmes in the map pack downloads.
2nd, here is the readme direct from your cncden website for MetroTS

===============================
=====Renegade Map Readme======
===============================
A real special thanks goes out to NeoSaber, also part of the Renegade Alert modification team, for making the new version of Metro work properly. Textures had corrupted, and he fixed them for me. Highly appreciated!
Map Name: C&C MetroTS | Version 2.1
Fixed an issue with the Stealth Tank giving off too many points.
Creator: Aircraftkiller
Email: aircraftkiller@cncgames.com
Website: http://aircraftkiller.blogspot.com
Theatre: Urban city
Description: A map set at night in a crowded urban city. Tiberium sewage flows through the ditches and a Tiberium impact area in the city provides the GDI and Nod forces with a place to harvest raw Tiberium. Look out underground in the Tiberium sewage tunnels and make sure not to fall into the ditches, as Tiberium sewage kills slowly and painfully. The tunnels are located by the vehicle production structures. They are disguised.

Where does it say who the original creator was? I don't see it any where :rolleyes: similiarly in many of your other maps, you take full credit for maps that you borrowed from westwood, that is IN FACT STEALING.

And not to be completely negative or anything, but in ALL HONESTY, do you think people read the readme's as it is?
If a map were to be automatically downloaded, are you planning on spamming up a window once it extracts that shows the readme?
Do you think they aren't going to be hitting ESC about as fast as they can so that they can just go play?
Are you going to put a timer on the window or something that forces them to look at it for 12 seconds?
I know you don't care, and we've chatted about this before; are you making the maps so people will pat you on the back? or because you just like to do it? I still think someone needs a small piece of humble pie...

Kinda sucks when I would have to go around saying "yeah, I made this even though you don't believe me and won't listen to anything I say about it" because of a missing text file.
|
So, all I have to do is replace that little text file with one that I write and *poof*, I created the level? Seems too easy to me :rolleyes:
People know you made the levels, they can see that everywhere they look online. All they have to do is post in any number of forums or sites that they get the files from, and they will easily be pointed in the right direction.
If you think your name and short description in a text file assures me that there are no virii in the file it accompanies, you're sadly mistaken..
No one's arguing that you should indeed be able to bask in the glory of your work.. All I'm saying is, you need to take a few precautions so you don't get a sun burn..

I've had that happen before. When it does, the C&C community steps up to the plate and takes over, basically blacklisting the person who did it... I know what you're saying, though.
They don't always look everywhere... Don't you remember the incidents with people who couldn't figure out how to jump higher in Mars? If what you say is true, I doubt people are going to read a line of text on the download saying who made it.

Just say that and spare us the macho act. I mean, do you SERIOUSLY think ACK meant he would LITERALLY shit on your sink? Good lord...
