Ok... I can't remember the last time you fought over something that didn't invole ACK or lately me. I mean ACK is one of the nicer mapers i know its always a fight. One was almost started in ACK's happy birthday thread. you guys have serious problems if you cant finish a single thread without getting ACK involved. GOD!!! :rolleyes: He maybe a hot head but you all need to cool off.

1. Bad memory isn't something one should be proud of. 
2. He's a great mapper, but not exactly "one of the nicer ones". 
3. There was no argument that was almost started in his thread, it was started, pay attention! 
4. This thread was ABOUT ACK dumbass... About him changing the part in his sig about him creating Glacier Flying. Maybe you should go back and actually read the thread! :rolleyes:

Except you never did create the map.You just finished it. :rolleyes:

Okay...I know Ack can come off as an ass to some people, and has rubbed a few people the wrong way. I only say this because it is obvious from the way people treat him, I'm not chosing sides or debating the past.
What I do know however is that Ack got a simple MESH for the Glacier terrain. We are talking about just a wireframe of the GROUND. No textures, no objects, etc. He spent MANY hours and days turning it into what it is now.
Its like handing someone a rough flowchart of a computer program, and then the programmer spends weeks writing all the code, debugging it, etc. And then you would complain that said person claimed they created the program, even though they transformed what was nothing but a loose framework into something real and functional.
You can say he "just finished it" if you want, and technically you are correct, since he "only" did 99.99% of the work. I can guarantee that if you got the map with EVERYTHING in it done except for just the PT's, it would still take you over an hour to get it working properly.
In short, if you want to bash on Ack, please find some other reason, because saying that he didn't make Glacier what it is today is futile. WS themselves even gave him permmission to say he created it, so lets put this issue to rest.

If ACK provided a screenie of what glacier looked like when he first got it of this so called 'simple mesh' maybe it would silence everyone to what he actually did/didnot do..... just a suggestion.

ANd cut him slack?Why?Anyone else who claimed to do something they didnt do would get no slack.
|
Blazer just explained this! ACK didn't say he created it from scratch, but took it from a plain layout and created, added to and finished it. :rolleyes:

If you want to see what ACK started with, load up Commando editor, and open terrain/mult player levels, and make glacer, that is about what Ack had, I think, on the old forums I posted a link for a pic, but I don't have it any more, so...

If you use the Make command on the Glacier preset, you get the finished level. That isn't what I started out with.

Look, as much as I hate ACK. I have to go with him. Even if ACK didn't create the map from scratch... he is still entitled to call it his own. As Westwood themselves... GAVE IT TO HIM. And has no problems calling it his own. And he does have some merit on the map.
Last and finally, Westwood gave the map so the map is his. EVEN IF HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO IT. But unfortunately, he did... which gives him a lot of rights to call it his own. I hope I make sense because I didn't understand what I just said.
Renegade is a team based game... not a Rambo style game. For without teamwork, non shall be accomplished.
