Make the game as it was intended. If need be, perhaps you can get "official" support from former members in how the levels were supposed to be. |

well, maybe if you didn't act like a pompous ass all the time your word would actually be worth something. i bet the biggest reason people don't believe you is because they hate you. they don't care if you did or did not work for westwood. all they care about is that you're a nitpicky little bastard who acts like he's god. |

i mean, you start arguments in the forums just because you're bored. you'll start bashing someone and when people ask why you're stirring up trouble you basically just say there's nothing else to argue about. and when people are having an intelligent discussion/argument, you're often one of the first people to start turning it into a flame war. crap like that will not earn you anyone's respect. |

oh, and that bit about "cannot take the opinions of others" made me LMFAO. that's got to be one of the most hypocritical things i've heard in a long time.... |
Quote: |
and by the way, i don't play any politics games. if i did, i wouldn't be saying any of this stuff, because the admins of this site happen to like you. (at least, they tolerate you. i have no idea if they actually like you or not.) |
Quote: |
and just to reiterate, this post is NOT meant to be a flame, ACK. everyone knows you're an ass. hell, it always seems to me that you're proud of that fact. all i'm saying is that if you treat people like shit and then expect them to respect you, you're fucking stupid. |

I don't care enough about this topic to read your entire post and make a useful reply. I'm here to stir up shit |

Where did I say I wanted respect? |
Aircraftkiller |
my word should hold as much weight as a WS employee |
Aircraftkiller |
Where can you conclusively prove that I cannot take opinions of others? You can't, and you know it. |
Aircraftkiller |
earlier I was fighting mac because he thought it prudent to make a poll on this subject (Barracks exploit) while I thought it more important to fix it and be done with it. |

I don't care what any dictionary says, "flaming" is what homosexuals do... |

Anyway, beyond that point, I'm not taking what you're writing as an insult. Sure, I'm an ass. So are you, and so is everyone else here. Singling me out because I happen to be more up-front than most is, as you wrote earlier, hypocritical; at best. |

why don't you take another look at almost any thread where anyone has ever insulted RenAlert or your vehicle textures or maps? i think the evidence is pretty clear. |
Quote: |
and in case you haven't noticed, almost half the people that have voted don't think it should be changed. this is just another example of you not caring about anyone else's opinions and just wanting everything to be done your way. which is why nobody wants to listen to you -- you don't want to make Renegade fun for the community; you only want to make it fun for ACK. if you want to run things your way, then play on your own server with whatever maps and rules you want. if you're releasing "fixes" to the community, though, you should only fix things that the community thinks are broken. no matter how much work you put into that glacier map, you are NOT EA. and you don't have the rights to the game. so like it or not, your word is NOT final. if anyone should get to decide what is changed in community-wide fixes, it should be a consensus (or at least a majority) of community members. |
Quote: |
i don't really understand what you're nitpicking about here. using the term to refer to email & online forum insults is just as acceptable as using the term to refer to gay people. |
Quote: |
no, it's really not. i'm not saying you shouldn't be rude to people. i'm saying you shouldn't be rude to people and then still expect them to respect anything you say. i may be an ass to people sometimes, but i never expect someone i mistreated to care what i think. |
Aircraftkiller |
Glacier Flying doesn't make me part of EA, because I NEVER said I was part of EA. And yet you accuse me of only reading a few lines of your posts... :rolleyes: |
Aircraftkiller |
Actually, no, who decides what goes into fixing things is Black Hand Studios. Not the community. Your votes help us decide but they're not the final judgement. |
Eric Kearns - former Westwood Studios Lead Artist for C&C Renegade |
My two cents... Anything that Westwood made and is out there for Renegade should be freely distributed. Who made these Westwood assets no bearing on the issue. If someone wants to keep these models and not distribute them to the community then it's everyone's lose. The idea of having a mod community to me means everyone shares assets and everyone tries to make their own cool maps using the assets (or their own new ones). If someone wants to keep certain items under their thumb and not let everyone play with em then shame on you. Be a pal and let these people share the fun. It's simple. I'll find a way to post all the stuff I have so everyone and their mother can get it and use it. If someone wants to run around claiming it was something they made then I'll call their bluff and we'll be done with it. Now I would figure there would be some opposition to this idea because people are keeping some goods to themselves claiming they have a right to keep certain things private to their mod. So fire away or flame it up or whatever it is that you want to do with such fodder. |

i never said that you claimed to be a part of EA. i said that you act like you should have the final say about any "fixes" to Renegade. and i said that you have no right to act that way because EA has the rights to the game, NOT you. |

and i said the community SHOULD be the ones making the decisions. |

this argument is really pointless though. at the end of the day, everyone's still going to hate you for being a little prick, and everyone's still going to hate me for being in FUD. |
Quote: |
i do have one question though: if you really don't care about having the respect of anyone on these forums, why are you defending yourself so vehemently when all i'm really saying is that nobody respects you and nobody should? |

Mr. Kearns' word is valid because he was on the payroll. Because he helped create this masterpiece. |
Quote: |
If you follow your OWN logic that exposure to the Westwood Development team validates your opinion of Renegade, then the same applies to Mr. Kearns even more so. Your disagreement with him, has no merit. You are going against the will of the very company you claim to represent. |

A westwood studios employee is a far more credible resource than a kid who made a map, and emailed some folks at Westwood to get it in a patch. |
Quote: |
And if you remember correctly, you alone didn't get it in there. The community was polled by Delphi to see if it should be considered. When the response was an overwhelming "YES" it was included. |
Quote: |
You have forgotten who helped get you where you are. |

The very same Mod community that you now forsake, and Westwood employees who trusted you with thier hard worked resources that you now squander. |

If you DO give credit where due, you're showing that "this person did this work; contributed this idea; whatever." This is a conscious decision, "Do I give him credit, or do I not?" You ARE respecting the individual's work, because you are saying "I didn't make this, but this person did. Here is his name". |
Quote: |
Growing up in a Military setting, I'd think you of all people would know you don't have to like someone to respect them; but giving credit where credit is due is respectful. |
Quote: |
That isn't respect. |
Quote: |
More like required, not respectful. |
Quote: |
I would guess you were never IN the Military then were you? You have to respect the authority of officers, as well as the integrity of those around you. You might not like the people, but you better be sure to respect them otherwise you'll find yourself face first in the dirt at 3am. Remember, whenever you say "sir" you're respecting them. You choose to say it, therefore it is respect. Hollow, yes, but still respect. |

Signature Image Size - Please keep them small as signature images should be. In other words it shouldnt be bigger than a few lines of text, or so wide that it stretches the forum page beyond its normal bounds. Just keep in mind that by definition a "signature" is a small signoff message. Anything larger than 3-4 lines of text stops becoming a sig and turns into "that big picture at the end of the post". Please also make sure that your signature image, if animated, is not over approximately 250K. This is to ensure that the modem users (yes, everyone doesn't have broadband) don't have any problems. |
Quote: |
Signatures cannot exceed 30k in weight (total) and must not include more than 2 images or 3 lines of text (in 1024x768 resolution). Images may not exceed 400 pixels wide or 125 pixels high. Failure to comply will result in your signature being edited down to the preferred size. Restoring the signature to the pre-edited state will result in a ban. Please refrain from posting your sig file in every thread, every reply, and every post. |
