The only difference between making a 512x512 texture and a 1024x1024 texture is that the finished product will be less pixelated and show finer details with a 1024x1024.
Let's see, 250 by 1000 pixels, or 120 by 500 pixels area for the top or bottom half... Lower pixelation and finer details vs very pixelated and low detail. Yeah, that's a hard decision. :rolleyes:

We *never* said that we didn't know how to make them joined together. It's completely unecessary, why effectively double the polygons in that area just to add a barely noticeable effect?

Ok. This has gone on too long. You guys just need to say "Ha ha we dont care what you think" and move on. The model is fine. The texture is fine.

Ok. You guys know what's best. Someone with some bleedin' experience is willing to offer you advice and it's argue time... yippee. Welp... keep making your models and textures then and submit them to a few companies... let's see who hires you. It won't be any I know that are half-way decent.
Ciao

Aircraftkiller | I don't post my work in forums, last thing I want is for it to get stolen.

Lovely. You have managed to misinterpret, and tick off the lead artist of the very game you are modifying.

Unfortunately this is all that's left of this mod community. He's driven off the rest of them, and continues to lambaste the ones that are left.
I know the fellas over at reborn would love to have your input, and quite frankly I would love to see you give it.
Mr. Holmes needs a helping of humble pie.

If you had paid attention, the person he was upset with was Sir Phoenixx. I've been cooperative with him this entire thread, now find something better to do than stalk my posts.
Just so you know, he wasn't the lead artist of the game. He was the lead level artist, that's a difference from being the lead artist of the entire game.
Lead Artists Elie Arabian (Characters, Vehicles, Weapons, Animation, In-game Cinematics), Joseph Black (Levels, Buildings, Light mapping), Eric Kearns (Levels, Multiplayer Levels, Light mapping)
Quote: | Someone should post the texture map itself so I can see what's happening with it.
|
That isn't misintrepreting anything. He's asking for me to post the texture map I made and I don't want to do it because I'm certain someone here will make off with it and call it their own work.
I'll just do this, instead... The map is saved with a good amount of JPEG compression, so I'll know if you tried calling it your own, as if it weren't obvious already.

I am hardly stalking you. You are far less important than that.
phlakaton is the only direct former WW employee that bothers to communicate with this community. When he posts, I read.
Stalking would be involving myself in every petty argument you get yourself into daily on these forums.

Aircraftkiller | Like the one you're instigating right now just to give yourself an attempt at the moral high ground of "bitch at them?"
|
You're right. Maybee I should do something far more intelligent like post "REBORN SUCKS".
You and Phoenix, while talented, are taking yourselves far too seriously, and shouldn't discount the advice of a senior, and clearly more talented representative of the gaming industry.
Try being respectful, and not getting insulted whenever someone critiques your work in a constructive manner. How many times do you think he's heard about how much certain maps suck by totally unqualified idiots with no appreciation of the amount of work that went into doing it?
As far as moral high ground goes, I had the advantage before this conversation even began.

As usual, a VERY mature use of intellect, and the English language. Do I need to know the President to respect him?
Do I need to know Eric to respect him?
The answer to both is no. Thier attitude and work ethic tell me all I need to know.
You on the other hand, gain nothing but contempt with your pompous, self righteous and namedropping stupidity. It invalidates any credit you might gain by attention to detail on modifications.
You sir, are nothing but a socially reprehensible unskilled laborer.
Nothing more, nothing less and no amount of bull on these forums will ever change your status as "angry whiny nobody", and your inability to keep your anger in check to have a decent conversation only brings out these "fine" qualities.
When you post in a public forum, it's no longer "your" business anymore. It's everyones who is reading it.
From Miriam Webster:

2 : a judicial body or assembly : COURT
3 a : a public meeting or lecture involving audience discussion b : a program (as on radio or television) involving discussion of a problem usually by several authorities
If I had intercepted a private communication you would be right.
But you aren't.

What relevance does this have to anything? Oh, wait, it has something to do with you being a hypocrite. Great job.

Now you're going to take shots at my life when you don't know me? Okay, you're a purple monkey dishwasher... That's about the entire point you're making summed up into one nonsensical sentence.
Quote: | When you post in a public forum, it's no longer "your" business anymore. It's everyones who is reading it.

And yet you choose to whine about something you're voluntarily reading? What kind of sense does that make?

Well, seeing as how you don't modify Renegade or its engine, know little to nothing about how it works, and basically troll the forum and play the game - it's kind of obvious that you don't have any business being in here unless your entire rationale is to harass people for whatever reason. I could see you harassing me were you actually doing anything productive on the side, that's pretty understandable. You put something in, you take something out.
You're not doing that.
Now, tell me. Are you going to continue following me around to post about what I do, when the tables could easily be turned into what *you* do to people who write their own replies to threads?
I enjoy reading your posts, but when it comes into baseless accusations because you need something to whine and bitch about, just like most of the people on this forum, you make me think you're a goddamn retard. A grown man out of the Navy acting like he's some 12 year old punk who can't take a few words written on a public forum.

Allow me to retort.
Statement #1:
It has everything to do with repsect for the opinion of a lead artist who helped make this game.
Statement #2:
This has everything to do with your inability to take critiques, and inability to respond to a valid observation on inter-personal relationships in this community, due to your inflated ego because you modify a dead video game. Know your place. You are no one special, and as such, have no right to super inflate yourself over anyone else, and your opinion is no greater than mine.
A reality check if you will.
Statement #3:
Posting my observations on your irregular behavoir is hardly whining.
Statement #4:
Do I, as an intelligent entity really need to understand every intricacy of modifications to apprecaite what you do? I don't know how to be a president, but I KNOW it isn't easy. Yet, I have no qualifications to remark this. Does it mean i have no clue as to what it would take to be one? No.
If you need to validate my ability to post anything on this forum, then here is my contribution.
Common sense, and dignity. Something lacking in great quantity on these boards.
If you mean do I intend to remark on hypocrisy wherever I see it, then yes. Will I always remark about stupidity, inconsistencies, and half truths? Yes.
I have no intention to follow your posts other than remarking about that PUBLIC topic. If it so happens you and I butt heads, then so be it. You seem to forget that I agree with you just as much as I dissent.

And where have I ever disregarded what he's said? He's the guy who kept me going in this, without his help over a year ago I would have still been making things like "Tropics" which blow ass.

There is a difference between accepting criticsm and "inability to do so." If someone tells me it looks like concrete, or it looks like shit, that's criticism - great and all, but I'm going to keep telling them they're wrong until they conclusively prove otherwise as Ferhago did with the submarine detail image. Saying "detail" means shit to me unless I can see what you want.
I have no ego. I simply say it how it is, and I always have. For example, Reborn sucks, and probably always will.
The game is not dead, if it were dead there would be no one playing it.
I never said I was anyone special. I don't care to be someone special, and inferring that I ever did it a fallacy of logic because you lack the ability to actually comprehend what I'm saying without instantly blowing it off as an "egotistical ranting."
"They say you don't matter and yet they can't stand to have your disapproval." :rolleyes:

I've been doing this for close to four years. Maybe you need to rethink your observations because you're not observing very well.
Quote: | Common sense, and dignity. Something lacking in great quantity on these boards.
|
If you want to start preaching about dignity, knock off the posts you're making and allow me to be the only person acting the way I am. Otherwise you're contradicting yourself and, to quote Agent Monkeysee, "IT DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER."
Quote: | If you mean do I intend to remark on hypocrisy wherever I see it, then yes. Will I always remark about stupidity, inconsistencies, and half truths? Yes.
|
Then you're going to need to quote yourself and fix a lot of what you've been writing as of late.
Quote: | I have no intention to follow your posts other than remarking about that PUBLIC topic. If it so happens you and I butt heads, then so be it. You seem to forget that I agree with you just as much as I dissent.
|
I don't really care if you dissent with me. Resorting to what you're writing is more than dissent, it's an attempt at character assassination. Feels almost like you're taking a page out of Clinton's playbook.
