My City Map - (only working on this one now) ..

Check this new shot..   I finally got my HIGH RES PACK working!!  awesome, now this map will really kick ass

I hope the map still looks good in 8bit, otherwise I'll give it a miss.

Looking at your last shots, I see a cheeky lizman jumping out of a tree! Whats with the grass edges though? Perhaps they need auto-aligning?

Oh yeah... Hi, I'm Tim.

Is that supposed to be on a roof? If not, that's a rather odd choice for a street/sidewalk texture. That's some pretty tall grass too.

The area you're focusing on has potential, but there's nothing around it to "blend" it into it's environment, so it stands out and looks rather odd because of it.

You will find that about 80% of the people around these forums hate the HRP.
Keep that in mind when designing the map.

Yes, and also keep in mind just because the graphics are 'pretty' (they're really not) does not mean your map is better just because the graphics 'look better.'

You obviously didn't even bother to look at the video he just posted.  IT IS NOT USING THE HRP.

For fuck's sake man, if you are so eager to criticize someone that you have to reply to posts from over 2 months ago, then at least get your facts straight.

He´s not critizing his work. He´s stating that bad maps that utilize the HRP look bad anyway (Well the HRP makes even the world´s better maps look bad).

I know this is up to you and only you, and that´s fine. But you seem to be very baised when commenting on other people´s opinions. It´s always noticeable that you don´t look at the tone of the post but more if its against the stuff you like or in favor of the stuff you´re not fond of.

Bitter, offensive, constructive or any way somebody says something that doesn´t go along your modding interests is enough motif to you to tackle it. I´m not trying to start an argument but different people with different tastes is fine.

And I agree that the HRP does not make bad maps into good maps.  The reason I replied as I did was C.A.'s comment came directly after coheed had posted a video showing his map.  In the video, you can clearly see that coheed is not using the HRP (at least not for that video).  So why respond to posts made two months ago to make the point about the HRP now, especially when the point has already been made by others?  The only reason I could think of is he didn't even bother to look at the video, and assumed that it was using the HRP.

As to the rest of your post...as far as I know coheed's map has nothing to do with my projects in any way.  This thread is not about me, it is about his map, so let's keep it that way.  I never said anything about my mods or interests in this thread, so I don't know why you are trying to bring that in, unless you are obsessed.

[Gambini]

I didn´t say you´re talking about your projects here. I said you´d jump to whoever that says something not alligned with your duke tastes, so to speak. From the time you began to work in some HRP projects you seem to be reluctant to negative opinions towards it.

Whatever, it´s not a big deal. But I always will be here to bring balance to the 8bits force!

Guys, no need to argue here, Thanks Dan G.   
Your right, im not using the HRP at all for this map, yes i started too way back when i just had the Bathroom etc. but ive defalted to the old 8-bit as i find it alot better to use. ive redone alot of areas, and made better use of space, adding lots of atmosphere & depth. *

yeah the video is all NON HRP. but ive done so much to this since i released that video.
ill prehaps show off this soon, thanks Dan! *

You obviously didn't even bother to read my post. IT IS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE POSTS I QUOTED.

For fuck's sake man, if you are so eager to act like a smart ass that you have to misconstrue someone's point, then at least do it to someone who's not an idiot.

[Dan G]

I already explained why I replied as I did.  Perhaps I would have apologized for my excessive harshness, but since you have been an asshole to me and to so many other people over the years, I feel you don't deserve it. 

I will have nothing more to say about this, so no one needs to bother telling me it is off topic.

[Captain Awesome]

My assholery is irrelevant in this case as what I was saying was completely valid and only strengthening things put forth by other people. And also, I'm glad to see that you hold grudges against people. That's great.
