As a rule of thumb, depending on how compatible you want to make your map, I recommend keeping your FF size to no more than 15mb. At least for a first map. Some really good mappers have gotten away with some very nice maps that are significantly bigger than 15. But again, they are really good and know all the tricks to get every last bit out of a map. IWD's, have at it.

Hi all. Barring unforeseen circumstances we will be selling the house and I will be moving into an apartment in another area. Probably in April. Both to be close to family and also for medical reasons. Because I will drive very little... if at all depending on what happens in the future... it will likely be close to or in a downtown area. Walnut Creek, CA if anyone knows where that is. Not a cheap place to rent anything by any means but I will be able to afford it with frugal living and watching expenses. The reason for thinking about this possibility, even with the added cost, compared to other lower cost ones is because I had one of my partial epileptic spells yesterday and it was relatively severe. There have been a lot of possible factors recently that helped trigger it and I have to keep that in mind and try to mitigate them. But even then there are no guarantees. Being in a location where everything is within decent walking distance unfortunately is kind of a given and recommended situation if you live alone. Anyways, my question is for anyone that has lived in a downtown area, big city or small one, single-story condo or multi-story building, what are your thoughts good or bad.

Me? Fool anyone? Surely you jest. ? And of course to get those nice packs you have to give up some nice perks. All it takes it one re-roll where you get body armor... and its complain complain complain. Take it to a casino in Vegas and complain because you rolled snake eyes.

Based on balances, you might get a better streak or a worse one, depending on your point of view. And you can only do it once. One thing you can do... if you have a package award ready to drop... is change your perk to this one temporarily then call it in. Re-roll if you want. Then change the perk back for the next time you are defrosted.

Wasnt it Groucho that said he would never join a club that would have him for a member? Wonder if that goes for gaming clans.

Can we all just say we are 29yo and not go any higher? Happy birthday.

Cold hard cash always works. Not that I am an admin.

Show off. ?

Like Gandalf said, I am never early nor ever late. I always arrive precisely when I mean to.

No you didnt. I looked simply because I chose to look.

Funny thing is, trycoxagain is one drug that you cant overdose on. If you think you need more, go for it. Also, in many quarters it comes free.

Lets see. They spend several hundred dollars on a tv. Might be a good tv might be a poor one. But you destroy it because because some idiot website says so? Which is worse? A bad tv? Or someone that can be influenced by a website to destroy his own property?

I dont think I want to know what their problem with Roku is. Did they finally ban him or something? If so, well.... bye....

"I didnt read the rules, so they dont apply to me." How does that work? ?

Any thoughts on what was going on at the time that wasnt earlier?

We need a sticky ? So yea clan members have first priority. After that priority is given to those that have played on the server the longest (spec etc doesnt count). Note that if you delete your profile you start at 0, like rankups. And then, non-clan spectators. They are kicked first regardless of how long they have played. edit: And no, in case you ask, your score is not a factor. Just time played.

That is true. Who knows where that doorbell has been.

Well, gotta give him credit for telling the truth.

Avoid using any assets (models, fx, textures) unless you really need them. Saving on even one unique xmodel can be the difference between a map working with a mod and not working. Avoid exploding cars since those are the worst offenders. Also, if its a building you will never get to dont bother with collision or blocking brushes of course. Use brushes for those and not models wherever possible.

Which are?

I guess anyone can be an assistant manager these days.

Hackintosh maybe? For personal use only since selling them is illegal of course. Pretty limited hardware compatibility tho iirc.

You sway, we sway, we ALL sway!

Yes all the zeroy links have good information and should tell you all you need to know to make a good map. As you go along and test things recommended that you try it on different mods, especially big ones, and not just the stock modwarfare mod. It will let you know early if you start to run into compatibility problems and what to focus on. Common pitfalls: Too many custom xmodels, fx, images, memory (ff file size), various script errors. The bigger the mod the faster these will show up. There is a good map, had an F117 I think, that is very nice. It looks simple enough especially compared to some of the really complex maps out there but it was made in such a way that it is incompatible with almost everything but modwarfare. A note about xmodel limits. The worst offenders by far are the exploding cars. Unless you really need them for something special replace them with simple static models. Oh and if you run into script errors in the console, please fix them. Even if you dont see any actual problem anywhere. It will make things look more professional. ?

edit: oh and what pics?
