Working with Layers

[xXziroXx]

We've set up an entire town (2x2) with the use of layers on Maloria. I've attached a small screenshot showing some of it, but you can check it out yourself by doing the first "Kill 10 blobs" quest on the server and afterwards travel to the town by opening the map and clicking on it. Won't appear until the quest is handed in though.

Unlike Dusty's tileset that uses Alpha Blending (won't work online in v5, but only way to make it work in v6), ours simply use normal transparency (won't work in v6, but works in v5...).

Holy **** Ziro, you have insanely attractive images and tilesets.
You just need a LAT that knows what he's doing, that looks horrible when it could look so much better.

PROPS TO THE MALORIA TEAM

I rather like the levels and it seems inappropriate to disrespect someone's hard work like that without offering any sort of constructive criticism.

An opinion is not going to change my ways of understanding.
And then again you're assuming that it's "hard work", pretty quick to stand up for someone.

I can't really just sit here and tell the guy what he's doing wrong, I just know that they are mostly sloppy, and not enough detail.
There are attractive tree's so take advantage of them, the path looks a little to much chunky and wide, and the grass detail is just fail.

I can assure you it's a lot harder than sitting on the forums telling everyone you can do better when you have nothing to show for it.

I guarentee I could do better, but then again I never said I could do better or any way was trying to act condescending. So stop arguing Tig, and stop picking out stupid stuff thats totally off-topic.

I have to agree with Imperialistic. seems really out of place to start arguing.

Now Imperialistic's comments seem pretty right on. Im no LAT but I still have an eye for levels. I've also seen Imperialistic's leveling. Its pretty good so I can trust his opinion.

So are you saying you want a level so full of trees you can't move, a tiny little path that would be almost too small to walk on and a level so full of grass detail that it looks crowded?

You're not being very specific, either be more specific and tell me what's "fail" about the grass detailing (and apparently the rest of the level) or stop posting. Crono told me what he does not like about the level personally and it was good constructive criticism. I will be taking it into account. What you're doing is more on the level of full out bashing, so please rethink your replies.

I know I'm rusty, I know I haven't done any levels in about a year, but I'm not going to get my style just right like it was before if people are only telling me "lul ur gras detaliz fael."

P.S. If you can't just sit there and tell people what they're doing wrong, you need to rethink being a LAT in the first place. It's really not hard. I did it the other day, in great detail and helped the person who PMed me quite a bit. I've seen Crono do it countless times as well as other people.

Thanks bro.

Your sarcasm is retarded.

Do you want me to baby you?
Okay let's give it a shot.

Dear Relic,

Your level doesn't seem appealing to me and other people, no pun intended.
I think it might be because it's organized in a sloppy way. I feel as though if you need to put more of a creative touch and really try to expand your ways of imagination into your levels. Your level isn't so bad, I just see so much potential, keep practicing, and keep up the good work.

Love Always,
Imperialistic

Giving constructive criticism isn't babysitting. You should have just posted the the body of your faux letter in the first place without being such a complete arse :P

I don't think you understand the concept of constructive criticism very well. You don't seem to be very good at typing out what you find wrong specifically, when you're trying to help people improve. Until you can do so without the idiotic attitude I suggest you forget about it and I will review the levels myself (as i remember you used to kiss my *** over my levels when I was at my prime in developing) and find other, more experienced LATs than yourself, who can give a review of a level without the bull**** you seem to be unable to avoid when you post.

I'm not taking offense to your constructive criticism, don't get me wrong, It's just I haven't seen any thus far except for "ur gras detel falz" and "itz slopi". All I've seen is crappy attitude and a bad attempt at seeming like you're superior. I'll take those two points into account (although I'm still not sure what's sloppy about it and how the grass detailing fails, again because you suck at giving constructive criticism,) but if you want to give me anymore points, I suggest you rethink your approach, once again.

"Love always",
Relic

If anyone else has any real constructive criticism to give me, feel free, but please don't emulate Imperialistic's failure, it doesn't help.
