    So if someone/something turns mainstream they automatically suck?

    No but he gets way too much attention. Hes just one of many many street artists after all.

    Not a fan his. Way too overhyped pop phenomenon. The Brittney Spears of fine art.

    Someone had the same problem here: http://%7boption%7d

    But his solution doesnt help me at all since there are no conflicting vbsp files.

    So i made a couple of detailsprites. Vmt settings and in vbsp are identical to valve games. Now when i compile the map the sprites are very strangely lit.

    Randomly some are very dark, close to black. Even in the bright areas of the map some sprites are considerably darker then some others of the same type right next to them.

    Anyone knows this problem and how to fix it?

    Way too gimmicky for my taste. I loose more and more interest in that franchise with every iteration, which is a bit sad because the first cod was my most favourite online fps ever. The wide public of course seems to have a different opinion.

    Stop generalising stepp.

    I'm not generalising. It's simply the reality of game development. Happend countless times on every project that i have worked on.

    I know that at Criterion they even have a silly hat to wear for the guy that fucks it up for others.

    reverting anything on dropbox isnt any harder than svn though

    Didn't knew that. Its not as bad as i thought then of course.

    Because in game development someone will always fuck up the build. It's no science its part of the development process. I can only imagine that without version control it can be very complicated and time consuming to locate and fix such problems.

    Thats pretty awesome.

    But using it instead if svn??? That sounds like a terrible terrible idea. Good luck fixing the build after someone fucked it up (which will inevitably happen).

    Best source map that i have seen. Pictures don't do it justice. Looks even more impressive ingame.

    The only thing that i don't like 100% is that every room has a completely different lighting. It certainly helps orientation but from a visual pov its a bit chaotic.

    What i wrote is that it is more fun to be creative in one of the old editors because you have more freedom as a hobbyist. You dont rely on a team of other people or on personal kickass 3d art skills to create something from scratch.

    The usability and work flow is on a complete different piece of paper. In that regard i would prefer something like Sandbox or the Diesel Editor, that i worked with, any day over an bsp editor.

    but how come none of these insane wysiwyg editors are taking off ?!

    i mean farcry 2 doesn't really have a huge mapping following right ? because they editor demos looks just like this ! and same with crysis

    Maybe because its more fun to be creative in an oldschool editor as a hobbyist. These new type of editors are fantastic for professional work when a constant flow of new assets is coming in daily and when you work under time pressure. But they take away from the creative freedom if you are not a good 3d artist also. And doing assets yourself is very time consuming and you have to be damn good already to create some nice looking stuff.
