Anyone Remaking concmap_exist?

Concmap_exist seems like a good remake for FF. I'd do it but I know I'd just botch it up. Any takers?

Well, my opinion - old maps should stay as a memory.

Fresh game = fresh content.

Two maps that are simply terrible and boring.

Those maps was original with TFC. Also, 2Fort and Well are bouth CTF maps and never really gets boring since they are classics, and to be honest i would rather have seen some new fresh CTF maps with FF release.

Agree with player, to a conc lover, concmap_exist is a classic. Why should CTF maps be remade only, cause you don't get bored of them?

Becouse those maps are classics as i explained, you cant compare them to concmaps since i played those maps ages ago and still do. The resaon i wrote wasnt to stop you, i just wanted to say that keep those old maps as a memory and create new maps instead. Enough with those maps that has already been remade. Make the concmaps a favor and bring something new to enjoy!

Usually a remake entails more than just changing around the textures. Look at well for FF. That is a remake. Well is a remake because of the gameplay that is changed. For instance, you cannot throw the flag out of the window. Using the exact same jumps with a slightly different look is a port not a remake. That is what they are saying. As for the issue at hand, I am on the fence. On one hand I can see how people who liked TFC so much would like to have some of the things they like brought over. However, making a map takes a lot of time and (some) people would rather see you spend your time on new stuff than been there done that. As for me though, I would definitely play ports of old maps but I myself will be spending my time on new maps.

Very ironic topic.. haha, I think exist should stay TFC though, and maybe people should make a new map, exist themed maybe. Also that tunnel you juggle down would be nearly impossible with the wall-friction as of now, unless you are a god at timing.

CRADTZZZ also, it wouldn't be that hard Adam, you just suck :P

SOMEONE SHOULD MAKE A MAP CALLED CONCMAP_NOTEXIST and make it exist, just reverse, flipped upside down and 3000 units to the left (+ Making it fancy, clearly.)

Different game, different physics.

I think remaking a TFC map exactly would be difficult considering the differences between the engines. A "spirutual successor" could be done, of course, but I would much rather see mappers use all of the sweet new tools at their disposal to make something truly innovative.

There are all of these cool things being done with concmaps like teleporters and checkpoints. If exist is remade, then I really hope it contains these embeliishments.

This is a message for anyone even thinking about re-making exist! MAKE SURE to get the original creators permission! Even if they seem like they are gone, keep looking! Cause you know, re-making maps is a horrible thing to even consider. Right?

You all seem pretty set on not remaking exist for FF. I thought concmap5 was a good remake, figgured a map like exist would be as well.

Concmap5 sure was a good remake, but (no offence) i thought that it was unnecessary to remake any map at all. Put your mind to create something new instead. Im not going to remake any of my maps, i want those to stay with TFC because thats where they belong - and as mentioned, remaking only makes the map messy and some jumps cant even be done in FF since so many factors has changed.

When you don't make any attempt to contact the original creator and then complain when they take the intellectual property which is rightly theirs, yes.

Grow up adam.

When someone has been gone for years and there's barely anyway to contact somebody, then they magically come back and claim it, you can barely tell him to grow up, if someone remade one of my maps, I'd be more than thankful.

Someone should remake concmap_exist, so the author comes back.

Good for you mule. You have the right to feel that way if it ever happens to you. However, you don't have the right to tell me how I should feel about it since it isn't your map, never was and never will be.

Grow up, as silver fox puts it, means to think before you do shit like that because in the real world with adults, you DONT do that kind of thing. I respect all the man hours that gets put into a map and I would never take it and claim it as my own. It doesn't matter how long ago the map came out or even if the author can be found. AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, if you do not feel the same and you do take someones map, put the original authors fucking name on it.

Iem so sowwy guyz, hoked on phonex wrelly werked fer me, I kno I shuld gro up, adult world scarrryy! I sowwy me onry 12

But in all reality, you guys take this stuff way too seriously. I admit I'm just being a jackass, but it's all out of good fun. Do you think I really give two shits about this thread or anything in it? I couldn't give a shit if someone re-made exist, as long as they got permission. Yes I know I did wrong with the whole concmap5 thing and I learned a lesson. Isn't that whole thing OVER though? Or do you guys hold on to pointless shit like that just because you have nothing else to? Silver_fox, I'm pretty sure I'm grown up..it just looks like you take things way too seriously, like half the people online. I'm just having a little fun. I still respect you both,but FOR THE LOVE OF GOD just get a sense of humor!
