you want to take my comments as flames then go right ahead. why dont you make a big deal on others comments also while you at it, or did you even bother to see that, in fact was nicer to you in this mod then most. i also went and took the extra step to show you how this mod looked on my end via a video. as far as my video card sucking i didnt know a 8800 was a crap card since it is the most current card out right now.
i have done nothing but stuck to the facts on your mod you had me believe in your opening post and if you dont like comments people have, dont post stuff.
so again..
1. the sky is pixelated. i gave this mod to 4 other people and they too see the sky like this. cards used 8800, 7900, 7800 and a 5500.
2. it has log houses that do nothing for the mod but having them.
3. it contains a ton of random shader swaps that are out of place and do not look good.
4. some weapon effects are nice, but not enough to carry the mod.
5. the beacon stickman is funny and creative.
6. the hogs going fast leaving flame trails is very old and over done.
7. the tree at the big hill doesnt need to be there and throws the map off for me.
3/10 final score
sure there was effort put into this, but like i said, it does seem half-arsed. you could have done alot better and took your time to clean alot of these issues up or made some of the ideas more fuctional in the map. you said you had it for a long time so you have had the time to fix them. read your original post..
okay, i've had this stored away from time and this is its grand release ^_^ it does have alot of bit swapping and such but its still a very nice mod if you just want a few suttle changes and nothing way 2 dramatic,also this is the first release of something i'd like to call the halo paint em up mod *_* paint the base with your ar bullets and watch as a beautiful scenic picture appears in the backround!!
there is nothing subtile about meta swaps all over the base and a huge pixelated sky. you also said these things were functional in the map. the log houses have nothing to do with anything except for hiding a single weapon. you set yourself up with your own opening post on how people are going to rate this. i went into reviewing this modding looking for subtile changes, things that were changed had function, nothing was going to be dramatic. the painting part of the mod doesnt work either for me.
now..
you know why none of this works right for me and for some others and works great for you? your bitmaps. its that simple. your running the mod on your bitmaps and when we run the mod on our bitmaps this is what we see, or at least ive seen. there are changes on my bitmaps as well as others and if your running redux or some other mod your sky will look like that. you need to offer a bitmaps patch or simply say "this needs to be ran on stock bitmaps". you didnt, so therefor i have to call it like i see it.
as for you going into the redux thread and rating my mod as awesome, then going back and editing your post to sayign "it sucks" is childish. if you want to say redux sucks and give it a 1/10 thats fine. it doesnt bother me. why? cause its your feedback and ill take it either way. just like when hamster gave it a 7/10 cause it didnt work right for his comp i didnt go have a "fit" in his threads and edit my ratings cause he wasnt overly pleased with my mod.
im sticking by what i said and im not going to change it. its a 3/10 and its average and been done before. just like the path i choose in redux is, in essence, nothing but skinning, lighting and swaps. but even if you bother to download it you can see i took alot of effort to reskin alot of things. the swaps arent random and are seamless in play.
the bg base is comprised of 5-6 skins alone and swapping the same one on everything doesnt look good. it may to you but to others it doesnt.
...to others it doesnt....
you posted it here for people to rate. you may like it. not everyone will feel the same as you. if you cant handle open opinion then maybe you should keep your mods to yourself so your pride wont take a blow when something doesnt go your way.
