Re: Project Meniscus
A lot of LouMan's maps are over 1MB. Home Sweet Home for instance is 2.7 MB and 107,106 lines long. I could get the filesize a bit smaller if I grouped some things instead of making multiple meshs, but that's a lot of effort for just a few seconds of loading time.LegoKid wrote:Is it just me or is that a little big? Seemed like a pretty simple map to me... (besides the drawinfo)

Whoa, 2.7mb? Mine are like 20kb...But mine are simple maps and, well, these have mesh and other amazing stuff.

Re: Project Meniscus
Too bad I saw this too late, I was preparing a goodbye paragraph in my mind already . Guess I'll save it.
Very cool map, I love the chopper and spot light. Funny server messages but one of them I only see part of on the top of the screen because it is so long.
Good work!

Re: Project Meniscus
I'm adding this to my database of maps to get other friends of mine interested in BZ with.
And the lesson for tonight is:
Never underestimate the ability of a newb to expect instant success and cry "cheat!" when they don't get it. Don't hate the newb, just give them plenty of learning opportunities.

Re: Project Meniscus
nice map... exept... that's not real russian lettering there. yes, it's russian alphabet, but no "words" as such
don't worry about it too much though

Re: Project Meniscus
Actually, I searched google images for 'russian ammo crate' and tried to copy down the lettering. It was pretty tough hunting and pecking to find the right key and I did make up a few random military abbreviations.Agent West wrote:nice map... exept... that's not real russian lettering there. yes, it's russian alphabet, but no "words" as such

Try looking at this image as compared to my texture. The main words look pretty close to me. I was getting tired of that by the second texture though, so I think I did just make up stuff. Hopefully I didn't cuss out any Russians
As for the propaganda texture, that was supposed to be readable in English.

good job on that first one, you did get everything copied right (in case you wanna know, it says "sniper rounds" or "sniper bullets").

The only reason I fell for it is because you didn't post on april fools day, at least not for me.
