A moan

[Teabag 0]

Hi all. New here and don't usually bother with forums but have to have a moan so joined. Don't worry, I am not going to moan about CNCNZ because in my opinion it is the best one. I've emailed Sonic a couple of times and he always replies unlike some other guys.

 

My main moan is about links to other sites on other sites if you know what I am trying to say. For example, there is a link to generalsmaps. Now you would think with a name like that, it would be a site with Generals maps to download. Well in the first place, according to what I read, you have to register to download maps. WHY? This site doesn't do that, Lion's site doesn't make you do that. Anyway, there are no maps on it, so what is the point? Perhaps I am being a little hard on them, maybe it is new and they are just getting their act together but come on, why have a link when the site is not working properly? I am one of those funny types of guy who reports broken links. Most of the time, the people I report to never bother to acknowledge. (Sonic to his credit does).

 

I appreciate all the work that map makers and web builders do and wouldn't know the first place to start myself but if you are going to run a site, run it professionally like this one. Make it idiot friendly as well. God knows I am an idiot! Moan over. Thanks folks.

Hello.

 

Have a lollipop.

Hi Teabag. Its alway good to have a moan :lol:

 

Anyway. I can tell you that you will never have to register to get your Generals or Zero Hour maps from us. I hate going to site to download file only to find out that I have register :roll:

When I can see that registering serves no purpose.

 

We at CNCNZ.com don't do it, Lion on the Den site doesn't do it either because we are old school sites. We don't need all the registering to download crap here.

 

Infact Teabag you have done all the registering you need to do at CNCNZ.com by joining our forums :wink:

yeah its true plus we'd have a million registers and no one posting... :roll:

I can't help saying that it sounds familiar.... perhaps in a partial history of the once lost CNCNZ forums archieves

 

IE> When I was moderator for them :?

The trusty old UBB forums served us well :wink:

Oops. Perhaps I have been a bit hard or maybe someone noticed my moan. Anyway went and had another look at mapmakers and there are maps that you can download without registering.

 

Thanks for the greetings and the lollipop btw.

Hey that little flash back thingey is cool. You can see my name.

And yet another moan. Okay I was a soldier once and know that most modern wars are fought at night but I hate night maps. I only play skirmish and as I am getting older, it drives me mad not being able to see things. At least could the map makers state that it is a night map before I download it and then set up to play, only to say no thanks and exit sharply. Night vision goggles anyone? :shock:

[Luk3us 63]

Umm.... Why don't just adjust your screen contrast and brightness levels? :roll:

 

Or just adjust the lighting in the map? :roll:

 

Night vision goggles wouldn't help you mate. And besides you'd look like a total tosser siting in front a computer with those on.

Ahh yes....Fileplanet, register to download everything :roll:

Dude, go and download the St Anger and CNCNZ Map for Generals or Zero Hour (versions for both), they are great maps and set during the daytime

[chillin 0]

I look like a total tosser anyway but don't tell anyone.

If it's to dark, open it in WorldBuilder, Hit Ctrl+D untill your happy, Save and voila...a lot quicker then complaining about it.....

No one said you had to like them.

The fact that they are different to other maps sets them apart. Makes change from the same old urban, forest, tropic, desert maps that we have. I like to call then novelty maps :wink:

 

-unrealistic? Yes, I'll give you that but its intentionally unrealistic. When they were made it was never Disposable Hero's thought to imply that they were realistic.

 

-boring? Well if you play on game them its no diffrent to any other map really.

 

-no good landscape? The landscape is meant to be different, its called trying other things.

check and mate - sonic...

 

meanwhile dark maps are gay, tiberium or tiberian sun how ever spelt used to have the day to night thing and i didnt like it...mean while WC3 has day to night but it actually affects the way certain unit perform....which is pretty cool but still, day time fighting all the way...

[Luk3us 63]

Night maps are the best for any and every game. It gives it more feeling.

 

And yeah WC3 does the night thing very well. I love that game.
