We don't normally talk like that. I think this is the first, maybe second time we've had a long conversation about where SH went wrong and what Vechs is doing wrong. The reason we talk that way about SH and Vechs is probably because a significant amount of us just got fed up with his attitude about mapmaking in general (he seems to be coasting off of the SH brand name,) and his fanboys.
Not gonna lie, my dislike of the "SH brand" goes up every time I see a comment like that. Part of the reason we were talking like we were is because of those people. They're ignorant, narrow-minded, and have little-to-no experience with CTM maps.
But. Generalizing the SH series as crap isn't fair. Vechs does have a few good maps to his name, but his attitude and method of mapmaking are what we should be disliking.
It's far more than frustrating when that happens. Watching him consistently ignore and put off criticism is both infuriating and saddening, because if he would just come out from behind his wall of "vocal minority", as Hybs said, he might actually be able to learn things from, *gasp!*, people who actually know how to make good maps.
All this to say, we have reasons for saying things in the way we say them, and we aren't just mindlessly hating on Vechs.
And it was gorgeous...
(Sorry if some of this post sounded off, I was up until 2AM last night listening to RaC music, so I'm kinda just slightly a little teeny bit tired...)
EDIT:Well naturally, I'd like to suggest Dreadsky Isles. I've actually been wondering how it would hold up in Hardcore mode. It's easy enough to not be unfair, but hard enough to present a decent challenge.
I think this was a great post to put to your name. +1 my friend.
I still like some of his maps, because they have great gameplay, but sometimes his way of aesthetics borks me.
SPC is a mod for ingame use. That means you can do all the things ingame.
NBTEdit is an external use application. It is thourougly used outside of the game. Having this running with Minecraft might corrupt your save, like MCEdit.
I will play all new vechs maps, however I believe community interaction on that thread is becoming pointless. No matter what you say or how you phrase it. His maps aren't going to be fixed no matter how much you nag. Some of his maps were tests and I respect him for trying. I don't like to criticize those maps (BDLOL, Lethamyr) because those were just experiments on his part. However he has maps which are perfectly normal just with balancing issues.
In fairness to you guys, you aren't just mindlessly hating on someone. You have good reasons to dislike IM and the direction of SH in general, and you have the right to say how you feel. I think I was taken aback a bit by your response to Vechs' tweet, which starting me thinking about that in the first place. I get why you made the comment (first pic of Inferno mines in the thread anyone?), but I think it was a legitimate piece of advice. Call it hypocritical or ironic if you want, but it was meant to help Rosie.
So in short, I understand where you guys are coming from; I think it was the way it was put that caused me to react as I did. That's all I'll say on the matter for now. Thanks for understanding.
Now if I could get back to my little CTM map in the near future, I can get you guys some pics and get some feedback. I doubt it will be anything fantastic, but I'll try to make it as good as I can.
Also, as many of you know, I am doing Let's Play of SBC, however I am looking for a new map to replace it after I have completed it of course, so I would like to hear suggestions, I do not want maps that are ridiculously hard, have silly custom mobs, tedious areas etc. I would like a medium difficulty map (I will be playing on 1.5, normal difficulty) and preferably out of a BETA stage, any ideas?
I released Monstrosity not that long ago, and it's an easy-medium difficulty map. I worked on it for over 4 months to make sure it's nicely balanced for an average CTM player, unlike Soaring No Longer 2 which had stupidly OP mobs.
I'd make it slightly bigger, unless its an early wool in which case its about the right size. You might want to look into improving the buildings slightly, and maybe making a few more. Other than that, its a pretty good start!

I had a pretty bad hard drive failure which resulted in me losing everything including the map I have been working on for the past few months :(... luckily I had it saved on a usb :). I was also in the middle of playing vinyl fantasy, I had 5 records... I did not have that map on a usb

Good Morning CTM Community!

Ingame? No.

I use ingame nbt edit which is ingame and not external. I believe NBTexplorer is also internal and supposedly better (citation needed).
GUYS WAT R U TALKIN ABOT?? VAKS IS DA BESTEST EVAR!!! EVEN THO I DY A MILLION TYMES IT'S AMAZING!! <3
Please tell me you got the sarcasm.....

I just wouldn't play it in hardcore. It's designed to cause a few deaths, but there's plenty of gear to recover within minutes.
If you're looking for a map to play in hardcore, I would recommend To Greener Pastures or Dreadsky Islands.

Just saying.
Luv it, looks amazing!
