Deathball Ownage Map Pack?

Fallen · Post by **Fallen** » 12-08-2003 07:13

Can we see the current list of the ownage pack? If DB-U is not included, its not a ownage pack. IMO DB-U is the best custom map ever made to date.

DB-U is not good. It is a creative idea but it would not do well in a serious game. I think you could make a much more balanced, less spammy version if you tried. Perhaps DB-U][? does harvester still play db?

Yeah, to be honest, I thought that DB-U looked good enough, but it was way too open. Getting from one goal to another was quite the ordeal.

...

so lemmy get this straight.

DB has been literally geared to getting LOWER scores since about patch 1.3b. Thats why shake was added, thats why volley power was reduced, thats why defenders got equilly spammy hammers and why opposite team volley power was increased in the defensive end

...

Your saying that because you suck and cant cherry pick on it that its a bad map? Gimmy a fucking break. U is a better map that any i'v seen you ever make. Its not a cube, it doesnt have "volley whore" walls, and you cant cherry pick on it without hurting your team in the process.

U is probably the best map DB ever had cause it supports good passing and mid feild play. It doesnt cater to offense or defense. The only thing that could be changed about it is to add a height player volume so you cant get outside the map (ya its possible with a double boost).

I never said I didn't like it, did I? I never said my maps were better, did I? Surge you seem to have a problem telling the difference between constructive criticism and dislike.

*Shrugs*

As I still have not received word on CowTemple yet, I may go ahead and release the pack without it.
A lot of people have been telling me that they hate it anyway.

EDIT: If I don't include DB-CowTemple, I may be able to upload the DB Ownage Map Pack tonight.

Include DB-U please, its the best custom map. However, it needs a few updates, but since harvester is not around no more, I would think that he wouldn't mind if someone tweaked his map to put post sounds and a scoreboard.

By the way, if you actually look at the eye candy of the map, you will see the good use of banners. Unlike Cube, the use of banners are wonderful in the map. I would think that davidm would learn something from this rather than making the walls of his prize map for the mod ugly.

OK I'll hold a poll. If there are sufficient votes, I'll update DB-U.

The DB Ownage Map Pack is complete. I'm uploading it now.

Sorry guys - havent't been here for 3 weeks.

thanks for the idea to give cowtemple to the mappack but i think it's better that it is not in (because it does not use the features from new db versions eg).

(the only thing i want to know is why ppl _hate_ it)

Jet2lag, I've been itching to play CowTemple online against real ppl...Please let it be in the map pack...No-one minds if it hasn't got post sounds or cameras. I'm begging you!!

jet2lag · Post by **jet2lag** » 15-08-2003 11:13

of course cowtmeple can be included in a mappack (when you leave readme there, unmodified and so on you know the normal conditions)
but it's allready out isn't it (the pack)?

the other thing about the "why hate" is that i plan to upgrade cowtemple but then i have to know what ppl don't like an perhaps do it better this time

hmmmmmmmmmm....................CowTemple is a very good map, but i don't like it......if that makes sense

a few reasons...........

- I find it hard to see the ball. This might just be me, but there's soemthing about the colours and stuff of CowTemple (and also LegoFan) that make me not like it when mixed with the ball

- I dunno why, but i don't like the raised pbox + keeperbox much o_O ... i dunno, doesn't seem like too much of a problem tho

- might just be me but the pbox is too big?

Reason #1 is the main one. #3 as well unless i misjudged it

@ball - hm could be i'll check that out - i have some problems with lighning - but hey well everyone has a first map

the raised box will still be there if there is a future release but a bit diffrent i guess

pbox too big - hm
