Congrats. I have never lost more respect faster. Ever noticed that I rarely post my own maps, but rather help others? Team Citruz, Portal Stories, Portal Repercussions... Go ask 13aboon, shawy89, ram64, etc who taught them how to use hammer.

It's not baseless. I admit I overreacted, but the majority of your posts seem to be along these lines:

EDIT: We're straying from the topic. Ace, you can also put your map on the workshop and give people a link to download the BIK file from TwP and install it manually. If you put a script with the video you can also check if it's installed when the map runs.

What lines? Ill grate you that post98869.html#p98869 was a little harsh. But I'm not seeing anything wrong with the others. Could you help me by specifically pinpointing your particular problem?

Spoilered so as not to derail the thread
[spoiler]I agree with your sentiments, but the majority of your posts (referring only to the ones I've seen, so not including the one-on-one help you've given those mappers) seem to be negative and discouraging toward new members. "I'd rather set my computer [on] fire and kill myself [than] answer you[r] idiotic, inane question", "This mod sounds boring", "Your haircut make you look like a girl...Rate this 0/10", and "Its just some kid who need gratification for every little achievement for some reason" (after the OP had already been directed to a more appropriate thread) sound to me to be intended to anger people rather than give any sort of constructive criticism or help them improve. All of the posts I linked are in response to new or inexperienced posters, who presumably know very little about mapping and such. If I had gotten a similar response when I first tried to learn Hammer, I probably would have given it up immediately.

You're justified in your response to my post, but I don't want to drive noobs like Ace (who apparently want to actually learn) away from the site by telling them to "abandon it completely" rather than trying to help them get off the ground.[/spoiler]

I completely disagree; and you seem to have brought up the same points I and others have already disproven. I LOVE helping people, ask anyone who knows me. It is what I do for a living, and what I do here. Also, the examples you have provided do not adequately support you claims. In not one of those links am I commenting on anyones mapping skills. I fully support and encourage PTI user to start learning hammer; and I will even devote time to helping them and I have already done exactly that a few times. Having read your responses both in this thread and the ones you've linked to, I believe that you are just whiteknighting.

That may be, but I don't know you and have no way to know what you do for a living.

"I'd rather set my computer [on] fire and kill myself [than] answer you[r] idiotic, inane question" was in response to a question about mapping.

Believe whatever you want.

I agree that I was probably wrong about your personality; obviously I'm acting on incomplete information here, as I've never met you IRL and haven't seen your private conversations.

Thanks for your response. I will take it under advisement.
