The Ghoul's Forest / [Solved] Who Made This?

« on: December 12, 2010, 05:34:01 PM »

I've been looking for the author of a map for a couple days now, and I cannot find out any information about it. I would like to ask the author's permission to include it. Does anyone know about this map?

If anyone has some information it would be helpful. Thanks!

The Ghoul's Forest / Post your ideas regarding balance

« on: December 09, 2010, 02:47:08 PM »

I would like people to post their ideas here regarding how and what should be changed regarding balance. Preferably in a simple and organized, easy to understand format.

I've created a template here to help guide the process along. Using the template is not required, but would definitely help me a lot.

Please base your ideas on b2v9, the latest current official version of GvH.

If nothing should change on any line of this template, or you don't have any idea, feel free to simply omit it. As I've stated, this is mostly to help you guide the thought process along.

Lastly - two more things. At the end of your post, please include a summary of the total "effect" you are trying to achieve (what problems are you trying to solve?) - and also, when making the list, try and keep the list itself balanced too. (i.e. if you want to change every single class, hopefully you have a damn good reason why)

Please remember not all ideas will be accepted. This is just to get a general idea of things to focus on.

Maps
What maps should be changed? Feel free to include ideas such as extra corridors, widening/narrowing of hallways, texture changes, etc. Please focus on balance issues when suggesting map changes, as that is the purpose of this thread. Also note that some maps have been updated since v2b9 - if you strike on one of these maps your proposal will be subject to much heavier review (as the previous changes may affect your proposal differently).

Cutstuff Discussion and Feedback / Darker skin?

« on: July 27, 2010, 02:27:24 AM »

I am hoping this is not the wrong place to post this.

Anyway, one thing I really would like for this forum (for the few rare times that I ever visit it) is a white-on-dark skin. I have to be honest, black on white hurts my eyes, and it makes it harder for me to use this forum. And also, the forum default skin has too many closely related color blends which also makes it hard for me to use.

I'm not suggesting a whole selection of skins like DRD Team because that makes add-ons a nightmare to maintain, just one or two extra ones with dark backgrounds that are easier on the eyes. Something like proBlack might be nice.
