Another blog for the map and other stuff

August 31st, 2008

I made another blog for the process of the TF2 map. It can be found from “Latest projects” link from the http://tomppaduulis.org and from http://tomppaduulis.org/mapping.

Something else happened too. My scooter broke down. The exhaust pipe went broken but we managed to fix it with my friends. The kickstart also broke but I managed to fix it myself. I didn’t want to walk to school so I had to fix it today.

I can finally sleep for long tomorrow. I have to go to school at 10.45 am and I have no other subjects than computer stuff tomorrow. I can play counter-strike for the whole day at school:D

About the map

August 25th, 2008

The map will be properly texturized. I started re-creating the spawnrooms and will be making the map lot bigger to add alternative routes to capture points. I though of making an CTF map instead of CP map, but still not sure about that. I will think about that later when I finish the spawn rooms.

Animesquare

August 24th, 2008

Hey. I have started to make this little map to TF2. I think I will name it after animesquare, since I already have added its logos to the map. Look animesquare

The map is going on pretty well, but I probably won’t publish anymore screenshots until I think the map looks good enough. I need opinions if I should keep the map an “orange” map so that there is only dev textures or should I texturize the map properly?

TF2 update

August 20th, 2008

The TF2 heavy package came out finally. I haven’t really had time to get the weapons yet, but I tried. On the server I went every fucking player played as heavy. Imagine that: 10 heavys on one team shooting around with miniguns.. So much lead in air that you could swim on it. I think I will get back to trying to get heavy awards when some time passes.

Something good about TF2 too. I was playing as scout in my favorite server and had awesome round. With one life I managed to dominate 5 persons! It was my best round as scout ever. I took a screenshot to prove it and I remember saving it with photoshop, but I can’t find it anymore.. Annoying.

EDIT: Found the pic:) Click it to see full size Dominate
Oh and I altered the main page logo a bit.

Got hacked yesterday

August 17th, 2008

My hosting company got hacked yesterday and my site was brought down. I viewed my site just before it was taken down and noticed a nice message. (That’s not from my site but its similiar) I was annoyed first, but then my hosting company emailed me almost instantly and told me that they are working on the problem already. Now the site is backup and I have re-installed wordpress and recovered my index.php and I am good to go again.

Bible in LOL-Speak

August 16th, 2008

Just stumbled upon this
Its bible written in LOL-speak that is better known from lolcat pictures. Some people have put lots of effort in doing that and its fun to read so I suggest that you read some :D Maybe start with the article “Learn lolcat” and then continue to the bible part. You might give your opponents in FPS games couple of laughs if you start typing with lolcat there :) Until next time, remember to read your bible! :D

Madworld for Wii. Why couldn’t Wii be something else than only for kids?

August 16th, 2008

Madworld is an ultraviolent game that will be released only for Nintendo Wii. Much people complain about this since Wii is mostly taken as console for kids. I can’t really understand this. Why couldn’t Wii be a console for everyone? It could have its kids games and games for older people and more people would be happy. Some people say that the release of Madworld will ruin Wii’s reputation as being a console for younger people, but I don’t think it will happen, since most of the games for Wii are designed to be played by kids. John Bayer from Mediawatch-UK hopes that the authors that give ratings for games wouldn’t give Madworld one so it couldn’t be sold in UK. Nintendo said that Wii is played by younger and older people so the game should get its rating and it would be only sold for people old enough. Thats how its done on other consoles and PC so what could possible be a problem for not doing it on Wii? The fact that most people still keep Wii as the console for kids. I really think Nintendo should do more things like this so they would get that impression of and start getting more older players. Wii is awesome now and would be more awesome then. I’ll keep a track of this situation and report back later. Until next time, play your games nice and happy and dont cheat!

New blog

August 15th, 2008

Hey. I decided to start using Wordpress as my blogging software. Its much easier and faster than my previous one which I made myself. I will be writing stuff here every now and then now that I finally have my domain and have purchased my hosting. The theme I am using with wordpress is not CSS validated, but its XHTML validated. The CSS validator gives 2 errors and couple of warnings so I think theres nothing to really worry about. I will be writing here instead of the old blog page and I will update all my links to point here.
