Reasons? who the hell cares, right now I am really pissed off, which is not something that clouds my judgement but it is, however, something that gives me the motivation to do what I've been thinking about doing for a while.
Most of you people probably never knew me, and now probably never will. I was the art guy. I never made maps, I just did tests, experiments, particulary ones related to graphics that, and occasionally, I'd kill a spambot or two since I was almost always online.
I do not intend to just leave sc2mapster, I plan on leaving sc2 and diablo altogether. Hell, I haven't even played diablo ever since it came out and even then I only played for like 2 weeks. Complete waste of money. And I've come to realise that gaming altogether, although it has helped me in so many ways, it has also affected me in other parts. So with the objective of changing those things, hopefully it is not too late, I hereby present my resignation, publicly.
I request my moderation powers and account to be terminated immediately and quite honestly, more than a recommendation it's a suggestion and an advice as I have left sites before and it did not go well for them to leave my account active WITH moderation powers. Which is funny because I already know this is not going to happen as I have been trying to get a fucking little announcement edit power that SHOULD NOT BE MORE THAN A SIMPLE FEW CLICKS AWAY OTHERWISE YOUR FORUM SOFTWARE SUCKS.
So, yeah, sorry guys, I tried, I really really tried to help a lot of you with your problems, I have more than a few times offered my services as help for free, which I do as a living, and I have done no more than disappoint a lot of people by not filling their needs. I really really tried to help a lot but it's just not possible anymore. An unmotivated community doesn't help either.
I have however made friends here, you can still talk to me on skype or msn or even facebook if you for some reason have got me there, and if you ask me for help I will probably say yes so there's that.
Good bye, I've had a nice run ever since 2001 when I started doing retarded bounds and became a staredit.net member. All the way through become a master modder of SC1, one of the few people that cared for the dying modding community of SC1 and basically revived it to it's 2nd golden era (right after camsys) with our Clan [MM]. And finishing with so little stuff in SC2 but not easy, though, I did many many things before we even had an editor to work with, back in the WoL Beta, I remember that, Sixen, I will be foreever thankful for that CDKey which allowed me to keep up with my name of corbo doing things before everybody could.
Now, I would close this but I figured I'd have a little fun at reading whatever crap people post in here.
Good Bye guys, have fun, I really hope none of you live what I am going through right now.
TL;DR, if you didn't want to read it fuck you, but basically it's a rant on me quitting bye.
Ha, not even close. Plus I'm not that kind of person :P
And yes, changing announcements is a good thing but for some reason when the client got updated all moderators had to be reassigned powers and sixen just forgot to give me announcements permissions, I can't seem to have them as of yet but i'll remind sixen yet again.
I'll unpin this topic to make space for the new one. let this one die.
yeah, it'll most likely start this upcoming friday, I didn't today because... quite honestly I went out on a date :P That and I haven't got my permissions to edit announcements.
Nope, you can just play, not join the voice whatever you wish! map nights should be all about having fun playing maps or testing new ones, a good way to get your maps tested, yes, if you've got one but if you don't then just enjoy playing maps :D
1. Make diffuse map gray and use it as alpha map. To make the model semitransparent. (This may require changing something else to provide semitransparity, but I don't remember what exactly. Blend type maybe...)
You need not waste your diffuse to use as an alpha. You can have an alpha channel in your dds textures.
If you want to achieve "semi transparency" you need to have an alpha channel in your texture which is... well whatever you want but in shades of grey. You then use this in your "alpha layer" of your texture and... I can't remember if you have to do something else. Probably checking the "render alpha only" box OR playing around with the "clipping". I can barely recall things in my current state, anaesthesia is still kicking in PM tomorrow when I don't feel like crap and I can help you out. Minerals probably have some emissive, some transparency and specularity reflectiventess
PLUS, I just had ALL OF MY FUCKING WISDOM TEETH REMOVED AT ONCE so I'll be disabled for like 2 weeks.Which is good for this map since I'll finally have a lot of free time to make your models.
I had a lot of stuff to do before, but I'll be doing something for this one. Might even record myself doing the work so it could serve as a tutorial of some sort?
Depends on how I feel about killing my HD space, though :P

So who's up for this?
I plan on reviving an event like this the way I know how these events work, with loooots of advertisement :P
If enough people are willing I'll make a new topic, this one's full with sadness and disappointment from others and I like to start positively :P

You can take turns or organise them together ;o

EDIT: someone added it already :P
