Completely new map with more lvz work then any zone I have ever seen and I've been around for a few years now. I had made the old map 2 years ago using only notepad, ssme and buildlevel. I have learn'd alot since then and am lucky enough to have collected a few programs that help'd in the development of this new map. I spent about 30 hours on this map in the last week. Anyway check it out!

Someone still needs to make better lvz placing tools! Even with the placer I had to do most of the shit in notepad!

[newb]

Why don't you have a go at making one of them eh?

Lol, psy gave that kid head sysop so he could go around and advert, which will bring BF's respect even lower then it is....gj advertising

[Assassin2684]

Eh whatever lol. But psy if you havent already used it you should use CLIT made by BaK. I use it for all my lvz and it is very useful.

[Purge]

Is CZA still in development?

[Assassin2684]

What is that? Is that the program being made by ZigNotZag?

[Purge]

No, it's https://forums.minegoboom.com/viewtopic.php?t=3773.

O wow never seen this, im going to check it out.

[Purge]

It's still in beta and might not run for you.

[Assassin2684]

Nothing ever works for me What does it do anyway?

[Purge]

Same as CLIT, basically. Go to their site and check it out.

[Assassin2684]

Ok will do. Thanks for showing me this.

[psyphi]

CLIT is ok and I use it but it does not eliminate the need for using buildlevel and notepad. 55cent is not head sysop. Learn more about what your trying to insult before making the insult, Chambahs. If someone has a respect issue with me they can go fuck themselves.

Jealousy is a mother fucker huh? Stop wearing it on your sleeves, it only makes you look pathetic.

[Bak]

[Purge]

Of course it does not eliminate the need, but instead makes it better.

[Chambahs]

sorry, got tied up with head smod/sysop, its still silly, and what is there to be jealous of? that you have 10 bots as your pop and 2 afk staffers? lol or am i jealous about how much you have your staff advertise about your zone? anyway, enough of the bickering, good luck on your zone...

My roofs, floors and few other things that I wont get into details about could not be done using CLIT. Well they could but it would of been more work using CLIT then it would of been using notepad and buildlevel. When I was doing my floors of the buildings I had to set a certain patern over and over in only a certain area and it had to line up to each pixel so I made the images 100x100 so I could easily add 100 to the x and y and tile it out left to right then top to bottom and replace the edges with a different image so they blend. If CLIT wants to improve itself there are a few suggestions I have that would really make it perfect for basicly anyones needs. Here are my suggestions.

Deleting a image takes to damn much work. Make it so you can just press the delete key once an image is selected to delete the image.

Use BMP instead of PNG images because PNG makes the filesize alot bigger in the end once it is built into a lvz. (Shows the coders truely haven't ever done any lvz work)

Once you place an image it needs to be easier to move it. I suggest you simply select a image and press the up/down/left and right arrows keys.

The above would make CLIT everything SS needs in a lvz editor. This is advice by someone who's probably done more lvz work then anyone.


A snap feature would be nice. So the image snaps to the initial point of the tiles cords. Would be good for replacing a tile with an image like I had to do for the transparent tiles that are for some dumbass reason on a layer above the AfterTiles and AfterShips. In order to do my roofs I had to replace a 16x16px tile with a 16x16px image because of this.

BF1942 would look great on ASSS.

[psyphi]

5 bots and one is in a private arena that you would never know about. I once again ask you to learn more about what your talking about before you attempt to insult us. Now take your next shot so I can get people viewing this subject before I post my screenshots of the update.

I do not have the latest version aparently. Last time I tried to check there website it wasn't even there. I recently did some tests to make sure bmps compress less and it all depends on what bmp format you use. I did a screenshot of my screen then built it using your program then using bmp and the lvz was only .5 kb bigger. Thank you for bringing this to my attention I will be sure to encourage the use of pngs. However there are some ways to use bmps to make the lvz smaller but when continuum opens it up it would take up alot more of there computers memory. I am now converting my files to PNGS because of this.

-Stands corrected with head down-

There is a program called TiledMajik to do backgrounds for the entire map. I was speaking more about only specific areas not the entire map. That snap to tile feature would of been extremely helpful. You should eliminate the need for TiledMajik and have a feature to tile your entire background the same way there program works.


Purge no one has show'd me anything on asss that cannot be done on subgame. When someone shows me a reason to change that is worth losing all my plugins over I might change. Someone could make a module that let you use mervbot plugins then if asss is stable for 20-50 poeple I would switch.

Ok now do something with those unique commands and show me. Until someone shows me something they've done that cannot be done on subgame I got no interest in wasting my time reading about it.
