Look at my model
So, you made your first decent model, and your so super-proud of it, and by all means you should be, and people always say, "Don't post your first..." its not because it usually ends up just being among the thousands of "My first..." topics, which nobody really likes. Although nobody likes these topics, they could at least respect them, wait, what, respect them? Yes, that's the real reason they say don't post your first whatever, when you post your first, whatever, it always ends up getting flamed, usually so much, it never leaves the first page of the section you post it in. When I posted my first couple of good models, I got at least 17, yes, 17 pages of solid flaming! Now you don't want that do you? So when your going to post a picture of one of your best fancy-schmancy models, I recommend really thinking over everything, or maybe, sending a picture of it to someone in the community via the messaging system on the forums!
So, if you still want to post your first model, If your smarter then me, you've probably been modeling for at least a couple of months! If you haven't, fire handicapant suits are allways an option!
That stinks
OTOH! Your going to go for it, your first piece of flame, you must be thinking, "You call that a carrot? Yeah right, that's just my missile model, you dumb...." well, maybe not that, but something along the lines of it! So before you do this, carefully consider the fact that the person might be new to modeling, but if its someone like, Heedicalking, or GreenBH, one of the well known (But not nearly as well respected, with all due respect to the users), then, you won't be doing any harm. Heck, their some of the most well known modelers in all of the Blockland forums! Now from here on out, its pie in the sky, right? Well, actually, no, you can get flamed, for flaming, and that's one of the most common things! Now that's no fun, right? Nobody likes flame! Wait, breakthrough, nobody likes flame! Even well respected community members! So, if your going to flame, do it in a nice way, more like, criticism. Don't use words like, suck, crap, worst, terrible, die, fail, epicfail,
, because that just makes you look like a jerk! So, as I said before, Keep It Light!
Redemption
Oops, you slipped, now all of the community hates you! Well, what can you do? You've tried everything! You've tried nice, mean, sarcastic, vengeful, why doesn't anything work? Well, because the community now knows, your a fun little toy to play with! They just see you as a person to annoy, at this point, they may not even remember why they hate you, they just do! Not fair! I know, its not fair, but its easy to fix! Just be calm, cool, and collected, don't post flame, or lash out at other users, let your current topics die down a bit, basically, travel under the radar for awhile. Don't worry, it should only take a week before your slate is wiped clean, or close to it. The basic rule of thumb for regaining your status, is just don't let "noobs" get on your nerves!
Check my pack
So, you've scripted, modeled, drawn, and maybe even recorded some sounds bytes, now that your pack is done, your ready to release it! Its perfect and wonderful, and it almost seems worth it that you endured that 30 solid pages of flame. Wait, WHAT? Many users have made this mistake, including myself,
you post your idea for a pack in some category, and you get flamed and criticised for every little tiny detail, and even after you fix it, you still get flamed! Flamed, copied, banned from servers? You offer something, and the community hates you for it, and then asks for more? It doesn't make sense to me! If your going to make a pack of add-ons, keep it private, until its done! It works out MUCH better!
Check my map
If your going to show off a map before you finish it, if your actually willing to do this, you will probably only get helpful tips! But when you do this, have pictures, a description, and all the good things any other complete add-on would have! The nice thing about maps is, its very hard to criticise! Would it make sense if you said "Its not flatshaded there!" no! So posting incomplete maps, unlike add-ons, has a fire damage probability rating of maybe, a 10% chance!
Check my Add-on in Progress
This is reputation Self Delete! If you do this, its like dousing C4 in gasoline, and handing a pyromaniac a match! Doing this, there is no way, you won't be flamed, no way at all! like posting incomplete add-on packs, this is a bad thing to do! And thats all there is to it, just don't do it!

Drama / Heedicalking, is a lying, theif.
« on: February 21, 2010, 09:13:25 PM »
Heedicalking is a lying theif, its that simple, he's stolen so many ideas/models from people.
Ever heard of the kitchen pack?
It was my original idea, my first pack idea, and he steals it, and makes crappy models.
Does anybody else despise heed for this?

Modification Help / Chemical Thrower - Bioshock (Need SCRIPTERS!)
« on: February 19, 2010, 08:50:27 PM »
---Chemical Thrower - Bioshock---
Info
This model will be an arm based weapon (i.e. It covers the hand), its just based off of a picture, so it may not be incredibly accurate. Its built to look damaged, as if hit by some kind of big drill attached to a huge mech that carries around zombie girls.
Pictures & Other info
This is just a private project, if it turns out well, I will release it, so don't worry, my Kitchen pack is still in development.
Pictures:
Scripters needed
Anybody with good experience, I NEED your help!
Criticism Info
If your going to criticise it please actually own/play the game, so it will be correct!

« on: February 19, 2010, 08:31:26 PM »
Ok, so I have an issue, with a couple models, its that on one flatshaded surface, there is multiple shades of one color.
This is a very good example:
This isn't spruced up at all, but this is an issue for me.
Any insight?

Modification Help / .45 Revolver (In progress)
« on: February 16, 2010, 10:01:37 PM »
Revolver!
So, how is it? (I'm not finished texturing, and I might add a few more details, but besides that, the basic model is complete.)
Its based off of Bushido's Sixshooter. Its my first decent looking model, it won't feature animation but, it should be cool as a first add-on with a model.
Picture:
(rubberpage)
Its flatshaded, probably atleast 500-800 triangle faces, about 30 or so custom face-compiled objects, not yet tested in blockland...
Based off of a picture of a snubnose revolver?

Help / Milkshape 3D Vertices Issue.
« on: February 14, 2010, 10:06:18 PM »
Lolol am I sugarcoating even this topic?
Nevermind that, but my real issue is:
Milkshape vertices.
First off, I know how to make faces, just not very well, and I'm currently using highly multi-faceted cylinders,
which works to a degree, but I want to know, how do I add vertices to a box?
Second of all, I want to know, how to make a hollow cylinder, or anything with a hole in it for that matter,
deleting vertices just broke it so, what do I do?
(I'm an ameature, I'm decent at UI's, and fairly good at modeling (Google SketchUp experience) so milkshape isn't too much of a change, but this puzzles me. Any help? (Please MtnDew! Haha, I can wish.)
