Zombie Master Interview and Exclusive Screens

[Double_Blade]

The thing is, -Crispy- hasn't actually said anything negative about the mod at all. His issue is with the way it's been presented. Which, as I'm sure that I've amply pointed out by now, is utterly irrelevant to us

Continue your work. Im satisfied with the gameplay. Don't care about any sharp criticisms. I noticed that there are criticisms on your work but carry on your work. Because in the Wikipedia list of Half life 2 mods, your work has been presented in Wikipedia, which is a good thing to happen!

I have high hopes in this mod! Continue working and I can become a zombie hunter in this one.

Are you real?

[Dr. Freeman]

been keeping an eye on this mod ever since i found out about it and it keeps getting more interesting the closer it gets to being completed.

Yay! Just keep on owning our motherf*cking cats!

hmm...i was thinking...will one or more of the maps in this mod have references to Halflife2.net or just stuff that people have posted which now has legendary status? sheepy's "cat got no keys n3wb!" phrase comes to mind immediately.

 

[Sulkdodds]

Man Pax, there's no need to be so full of vitriol. I can kinda see Crispy's point...

...but at the same time I found it a good and interesting interview and enjoyed reading it...and I'm a beta tester for chrissakes. :O

 

[^Ben]

Pi - you know what you really need? People to go on forums pretending to be random people and then hype your mod! What a great PR plan! Crispy did you make that one up?

Or whatabout, you get a countdown on your site and after 7 days you release a new website! YAS! P.R. genius at work!

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

And grow up

Obviously you need to do the same.

Pi's levels are awesome quality, you have yet to seen all of gravemistake, its beautiful, now the only reason you came in here and said something is because of your butt getting hurt in the ND post...

 

[99.vikram]

Zombie Master FTW!

(I know you're out there Angry Lawyer.)

 

[Asknoone]

So you're not defending the fact the interview was virtually devoid of any new information on Zombie Master? I spotted six new screenshots (3 of which were of an previously shown area)

Unlike certain other mod teams, I think ZM is concentrating more on the actual game, rather than beefed up media releases. Proof is in the final package - I could care less how many screens we see.

I think they already copyrighted that one. :rolling:

This mod does look super mega awesome fun, but I would (personally) like to see the maps look a little prettier.

Do you have any vacant developer positions? Normally media releases come with pleas for help

We (Can i say we mister Pi? I'm afterall the run-away animator and tester ) dont need new people "officially" but if youre interested, why not send us an email? We might pick someone up if they are of the right material and if we're in need of someone awesome!

The chances of anyone else touching up any of my maps are...well, zero.

Also, you have to see the maps in action to appreciate them. Screenshots don't do them justice.

 

[Sulkdodds]

I'd agree with that, actually. Those screenshots make it look quite ugly.

 

[Asknoone]

Fortunately ZM doesn't rely on pretty media releases

[Punzz]

The concept sounds very interesting. I'll keep my eye out for this beast

 

[Vegeta897]

I hate to interject, but I do agree with the "drab looking maps" comment when I look at this screenshot: http://www.halflife2.net/news//1148508323_zm02.jpg

That huge wall... Nothing on it.. And crisscross texture makes it look even more repetitive and boring, heh.

And I think you guys are being a bit too over-reactive to Crispy's comment, he never said he was the "god of mod development", all he was saying is that he was confused at your actions, but that seems to be resolved so just.. Shh.
And Pax, you're the one who called his posts "bullshit", I feel his choice to call you immature has some warrant. Not to mention your use of "whoever" instead of "however" 0_o

And also it's my opinion that "The chances of anyone else touching up any of my maps are...well, zero." sounds really arrogant

-note this is just an opinion of someone who doesn't know anything else about Crispy or Polyguns outside of this thread, it's just my first reaction, please don't start yelling at me or something-

 

[Greatgat]

Fun stuff. Can't wait til I can actually play it!

Don't rain on the parade Crispy!

Oh no! A concrete wall that looks like a...concrete wall. Maybe I should put some posters on it? Or some graffiti?

It's supposed to look like that, dufus.

 

[Sulkdodds]

You bastard Pi! 'Doofus' is the most stupid insult ever, no matter how you spell it! Ach, mein Augen! D:

I hate that word with a vengeance.

 

[Ennui]

I think it's a funny word, but when it's spelled 'dufus' it makes me want to kill things.

 

[Asknoone]

Doofus is awesome. Vegeta, you are a doofus.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

Oh, and for reference:

Any guesses as to what map that is?

 

[Asknoone]

But Pi, that is so bland. Concrete should be bright and colourful - at this rate your going to add a foreboding atmosphere. I mean, has anybody actually seen a bland concrete wall? Raise your hand if your out there.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

Load HL2.
Open the console.
Type "map d1_canals_08"
follow the canal.

 

[3.1415926535897]

This mod lacks ninjas

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

try Ninja Master instead.

Oh, and spamming to increase your postcount is a sure-fire way to earn a one-way trup to Banville.

Welcome to the Pax automated interaction system;

Next time when I expect you to post your opinion I will yell "poop".

Have a nice and productive day.

[Pi Mu Rho]

Missed this one:

Not at all. I don't like other people working on my maps. Never have, never will. If someone has a valid opinion provides suggestions or constructive criticism, then I'll act on it. But they don't go hands-on.

 

[Hazar]

yeah, if you had more than one person working on a map you could never sort out bugs 'cause you wouldn't know what the other person changed.

 

[polyguns]

Drab looking levels? Pi Mu Rho is a fantastic mapper on par with the VALVe mappers out there, if not better than some of them. The maps he has made for ZM are nothing short of brilliant. The time and effort he's put in may not be entirely reflected in those shots, but i assure you, your observations are severely mis-guided. Yes the game isn't very shiny yet, but the maps are in later stages of progress (many finished) and it plays something new and extremely fun filled. Oh and using your technique of putting a winking smilie on the end after a damming comment, your english typing skills are the most basic i've ever seen

good lord, people are so predictable. always when you want to win an argument, attack someones typing. whatever dude, its the net, where you get away with words like d00d, h4x, 1337, hell even css was 1337 mb.

i gave pi the wink cause i know how much he hates me, but he still has the balls to take me on when he feels the need and doesn't need you to defend him. he has the balls to post his work, thats at least admirable. Hell i've released a crapload of models to the public and been slammed many a time, but got alot of compliments as well. on par with valve may be semi accurate since their levels aren't even as good as some of the modders out there, plus all the textures are the same. and without textures level design is simply a couple thousand strategically placed polygons.

Again though, if you don't toe the ship the way some want you to, ass ive seen here with even crispy, you get slammed. this forum is terribly predictable.

step 1. steal underpants

step 2. OMG VALVE PWNS ZM PWNS

step 3. meh, tem screens are teh boooring

step 4. ":flame: yoos stoopid fools how dare yooos say that omg its teh PWNAGE and you can't TYPE!!!!!!"

step 5. PROFIT

still, ill say something else good, but someone will come along after me and trash my ass cause, well, its unavoidable. this mod even though having no visual custom content ( i don't count mapping as such without custom textures and statics) will probably pwn. hell i even tried to join it one day and got SMITED, suprise suprise, though they could really have used my skills , woulda had many custom zombies by now.


oh yea and who needs a pr department when you have hl2.net and all. no need, theres no other hl2 websites really worth a damn

30 more posts please

 

[Asknoone]

good lord, people are so predictable.

Wow. You are absolutey, nail on the head right. People are so predictable. For example, the moment I saw 'Polyguns' listed under the thread title I knew I'd arrive to a poorly written, toll like stab at ZM, Pi, and Hl2.net. Please sir, go elsewhere. We don't care.

So you've made a map. Your first map say, and it's fun. But there's still some work to do. Your baby. Few months building and learning Hammer. What would you do? Hand it over to someone else? Are you going to? No, your not. Lets be realistic here. You simply can't pin 'arrogant' to Pi's comment.

Iso town - you love it right? You love building it and you love the attention it gets. Are you going to hand down the reigns to someone else to touch it up? Are you? Nope.

Vegeta, you've no idea what your on about.
Don't bother 'interjecting' next time.

 

[Vegeta897]

Oh no! A concrete wall that looks like a...concrete wall. Maybe I should put some posters on it? Or some graffiti?

It's supposed to look like that, dufus.

... Don't be a jerk, I wasn't trying to offend you.

I'm not the only one who thinks it looks odd.

All you guys need to chill out, really. I wasn't trying to offend anybody, lord knows I'm looking forward to ZM, and I know Pi is an excellent mapper, ever since I played his HL2DM map.

Eres helped explain some things to me soon after my post, privately. I misinterpreted Pi when he said he didn't want anyone working on his map, I thought he was saying that it was so perfect, that you couldn't possibly improve upon it.

Also, I don't know what to say about Pax...

But anyway, you all need to just calm down, and stop hating on everyone.
