    Thats a nice mod - and a nice map Briolab - I might try using that myself

  2. Broken Wheel Isle

    delboysim commented on blade2k5's file in Maps

    This is NICE !!!!!! Thats a realistic "fantasy island" map Blade - and the geographical/topographical description deserves an editorship on National Geographic hehehheehehehe

  3. Official Mapping Community Requests

    delboysim replied to RadioheadFan's topic in Mapping Community Room

    Unfortunately - there are very few people who have the time or indeed the skill, to make accurate scale maps. Mallow the cloud is a little busy with other things, but I am sure he will read your posts and reply to it - be patient

  4. Killand Coast

    delboysim commented on Nemolord's file in Maps

    I would recommend changing the config and putting a few small or medium cities "to the north" as the terrain is gonna be a bit difficult to build on in that area :-)

  5. Killand Coast

    delboysim commented on Nemolord's file in Maps

    Bit different to the last few maps Nemo - but you must be respected for putting a lot of variety in your maps :-)

  6. Alpine Mountains and Rivers

    delboysim commented on delboysim's file in Maps

    I hasten to add that I didnt visit them specifically to do research on this map - I aint THAT dedicated to Simtroplolis - or am I ????? hehehehhehe

  7. Alpine Mountains and Rivers

    delboysim commented on delboysim's file in Maps

    You ought to be a politician teach - VERY diplomatic reply lol As its name suggests - this map is a representation of Alpine Mountains - which ARE craggy - and there are very few large cities in the French/Swiss Alps - I know - flown over them - and visited them lol

    delboysim commented on delboysim's file in Maps

    With respect phattonez - I dont need an explanation - I can work it out for myself. You will find that this map opens some great opportunities for tunnelling - I have PLAYED the map and its perfectly good for that purpose. I removed a post from JH which was insulting to you.

  9. Alpine Mountains and Rivers

    delboysim commented on delboysim's file in Maps

    Thankyou phattonez - at last somebody has said WHY. All I can say is that I play test all my maps before releasing them - I guess you HAVENT played this map - so your comment is irrelevant .............

  10. Alpine Mountains and Rivers

    delboysim commented on delboysim's file in Maps

    Hunter - I laugh my head off when people say - "theres something wrong with it" well I dont need to rant back at them - the 14 downloads tells me the map is ok .............. and the average download rate of 1 in 2.3 on my 59 maps tells me all I need to know ..............

  11. Alpine Mountains and Rivers

    delboysim commented on delboysim's file in Maps

    ratings??? - gold stars ???? - not interested - the ratio of views to downloads is the best rating system we have - because VERY FEW PEOPLE can be bothered to comment or rate ............ and nobody is forcing them to ...........

  12. Alpine Mountains and Rivers

    delboysim commented on delboysim's file in Maps

    Well thats a wide difference in views ........................... and 49 views and 11 downloads tell me what I want to know far better than any comment ..........

  13. The use of terrain modifications on maps

    delboysim replied to delboysim's topic in Mapping Community Room

    roflmao - I KNEW this was gonna happen The Delboy Bladeyboy Mallyboy appreciation club hehehehehehhe Hey c'mon guys they can rant and say what the hell they like - but us 3 are THE mapmakers on ST We each have our own individual styles - we each have our fanbase and yes - we each have our critics - but I think we have proven to the community that WE can act like decent human beings and CONSULT each other to improve what is becomming a rapidly expanding market - I have monitored all our downloads and they are ALL on the up and up and up - the onus therefore is upon US guys to give whatever help we can to any new player (hate the word NEWBIE) that may be having probs Mallow - your idea about a forum and showcase is a good idea - but I am already editor of a custom mapping Forum on PEGASUS PRODUCTIONS (as per my sig)

    With the utmost respect Mallow Yes it hopefully would avoid some confusion and frustration amongst SOME users Thankyou Mallow for your patience, skill, and understanding

  17. The use of terrain modifications on maps

    delboysim replied to delboysim's topic in Mapping Community Room

    It wasnt actually me that had the problem with terrain mods demolishing cities - but the several users that have pm'd me with the problem. Of course I agree with both Blade and Mallow, that its essential for the downloader to READ what is in the description box - and this applies to ALL downloads, not just maps. Again, I agree with Mallow that the game restricts elevations to 500M - so the terrain mod he uses does indeed allow elevations above that height, and it IS fair to say that the mountains are then more realistic. The point I am making is that many users do not realise that once installed MOST terrain mods then affect ALL regions - and this has led to frustration and anger by many users. I am pm'd regularly, and there is post after post after post on the forums about this very problem. Finally - I hold both Blade2k5 and Mallow the Cloud in high esteem as mapmakers - and I am sure that Mallow will verify that on a pm I told him that it was HIS maps that inspired me to start making them myself. I therefore am in no way suggesting that either Mallow or Blade are doing anything wrong - simply stating that it is a problem that needs to be addressed and that the problem does indeed more often than not lie in the fact that users do not READ the descriptions properly, and do not all UNDERSTAND the function of a terrain mod.

    yeh I agree blade - but nevertheless - it requires a little more user effort to play a map

  19. NIMBY Collection 1

    delboysim commented on SimGoober's file in Commercial

    Oh - and back on topic EXCELLENT WORK SIMGOOBER !!!!!!! lol

  22. The Two Rivers Valley

    delboysim commented on blade2k5's file in Maps

    This causes frustration to many users. A few people have posted on the forums that they have GIVEN UP downloading ANY map because it either doesnt look like the screenshot or they simply cannot get it to render. As the 3 most prolific map makers, we need to come to an agreement on this Blade

  23. The Two Rivers Valley

    delboysim commented on blade2k5's file in Maps

    I also think, and many have pm'd me saying the same, that a map with a Mod required is a false representation in the screenshot. Because many do not have the Mod, and do not READ that it is required. Plus the fact that installing the Mod obliterates any region made with a normal map

  24. The Two Rivers Valley

    delboysim commented on blade2k5's file in Maps

    Yeh - all these maps with nice looking mountains, are created by the MOD not by the skill of the person making the map, but with respect to you and Mallow - I make maps - the terrain is hand drawn by ME not a Mod

  25. Low Comments/Ratings Percentage on STEX Needs To Stop

    delboysim replied to ancientsociety's topic in SC4 - Custom Content

    *Throws 10 bucks in the get rid of cjah collection jar* dear oh dear oh dear - where is this all gonna end ?????? I dunno if any of you noticed it earlier - but Dirk himself was in earlier doing some testing on the STEX and Forums (according to his nice little message when trying to access) so maybe - just maybe, there are gonna be some changes to the way we all kick the living daylights out of each other .....................
