I must say, Sirrus, if you quit now just think of all of the people you'll be disappointing. I love your maps even if I can't play them online and stuff. :) I appreciate your work. Keep at it, dude, please. :)
Thanks dude, that really means a lot. I'll get around to optimizing RP_Construct here eventually, it's just the thing is that when you spend such a massive amount of time and large portions of something working towards a single goal, your thoughts begin to revolve around that goal. And once that happens, in some ways its nice because you're doing something you enjoy for other people and in some ways it really sucks because it consumes your free time. People bitch at you, tell you to change things, you do and it's still not good enough for some. You don't and you get bitched at. Then once you're done, the elitist mappers that have been doing it for six years blow holes in your hours on end of hard work. At one point my map even got called, more or less "A huge waste of time that could be replicated in three days by any half-decent mapper". It really sucks because you've got one group of people that really like your work at face value and another group of people that you know are better than you and most everyone that likes you at what you're doing that criticize every aspect of the map and the work that goes into it. I get the point of constructive criticism but there's some people that don't have a single nice thing to say about my map and my efforts, brutally berating me in the interest of improving my art because "if you sugarcoat everything you'll never get better".
So you might see why I don't want to immediately revisit my large project mapping venture, but your praise means a lot.
