    I think the mouse is only useful in large tablets. It's almost impossible to use a mouse in a 4x6 active area ><Fergo

    I can't see any usage for the mouse when you got a nice intuos pen

    Get the one that comes without the mouse, you will never use it.

    We got those in Brazil as well unfortunately. Poor moms always fall for this trick. Let´s say you are a poor mom and your kid wants a Nintendo Wii for christmas. You go to a game store and the seller says the Wii comes with only one game and costs $250. He then notices you don´t have all that money and tells you about Vii, a game console that looks exactly the same and comes with 2.000 games, 2 controllers and a laser pistol for only $50. Which one will you buy? The same happens with Playstation 3 (that comes with only one game) and Polystation 3 (that comes with several plus the laser pistol).

    In some weird way, which is probably fucked up, then Hessi is actually one of the nice guys here. I'd rather have someone tell me something I made look like shit (with a valid reason like Hessi provided), than have people say its just ok. It's that kind of "elitism" if you want to call it that which I like about mapcore and the mapcorians in general. There are a few unique individuals here who really know how to give decent criticism and isnt shy about telling others when their work sucks.my 2c

    When people post their work there are feelings involved. There´s always a nice way to give criticism and starting by telling you your work sucks is not really the best. It´s not elitism, it´s just common sense. Who do we think we are to judge other people´s work? It may look like shit to you but saying that out loudly is not constructive feedback. Just point out what you don´t like and that should be improved and cut the "your work sucks, you should do things the way I wants!!!" crap. That´s elitist, disrespectful and breaks the forum rules:

    2b. Criticism (WIP Sections)In contrary to some people's beliefs, MapCore (and this board in special) has not been created to serve as hell hole which only purpose is to eat hearts and crush souls.

    Users that post their work here come for constructive criticism, advice and the opportunity to showcase what they have created. Not to be demoralized or laughed at.

    Nobody knows everything from day 1 and everybody has to start from the bottom. Even if the work is miles off your quality standard, wouldn't you be the best to know how hard and painful it is to learn how to make a fun level? Or a good looking one, which is also well optimized? Or an asset which you modeled and textured that actually resembles the reference picture you were looking at? Why make it more painful for the person who is still learning?

    Instead - help them! You can still tell them you do not like their work. Yet, instead of dropping a useless comment like "That level is completely horrible", rather explain what aspects of their work stand out specifically for you and need improvement. Give them advice on how to improve, by posting reference pictures, tutorials, and other helpful information. You will see the novice improve and the community grow as a whole. Who knows? Maybe someday they will even contribute to a project you will be involved in yourself and you will be glad you made the decision to help that person out!

    If you cannot be bothered and still have nothing constructive to say, do everyone a favor, keep it to yourself by not saying anything at all.

    Members who violate these rules, depending on the severity of the violation, will either: first receive a warning or be temporarily banned with an accompanying email to explain why and for how long. Repeated violation will be punished with a permanent ban.

    Quote from hessi

    well i would never call myself elite. the point is: i have seen DOF/blur/"cheezy Photoshopping" in so many forums and each time the person seemed to shift the attention away from basic mistakes in content and scene creation.

    i don't see a point in posting orange map screenshots in a forum. if you want critics to a concept, then the deal that matters is a playtest and not stupid screenshots. if he wanted to test some effect then this would be better sorted into 2d forum and not 3d/level design.

    no intention to say that anybody is a loser here!

    The whole point of this thread is exactly to act as a playground where people can post rough tests and ideas and that includes orange maps. If his idea turns into a serious project he will probably start his own thread.

    Don´t be so hard on yourself Hessi...

    I actually saw Forbidden Planet on TV about a week ago Awesome plot and setting, however the movie is a bit slow... I even dozed off a few times. Still a great movie for those who dig sci-fi movies.

    They will have to teach an engine at some point. If i was attending that school I'd rather learn CryEngine2 than Ogre or some other obscure indie engine.

    Get this game now! It features the best use of the stylus in an action DS game I've seen so far! It makes slashing monsters with your stylus sooo satisfying.

    More games worth your time:

    - Civilization

    - Resident Evil

    - Mario & Sonic at the Olympics

    - Super Mario 64 DS

    Just got Unreal 3 on Steam, so I'll finally be able to learn these wonderful tools (I hope the steam version comes with the editor and shit )

    I also got Trials 2, I played the demo and it was awesome! It's also quite a bargain now at steam (2,49 USD).

    I don't like movies like that one. That's all the same scenario "We're moving into new place /or/ We're buing something new and it's soooooo funnyyyyy! It's crazyyyy! Oh, my God! x100". It's so USA...

    Except for the fact it was based on a true story?
