Notice about Zanzibar and myself

GHL · Post by **GHL** » Mon Aug 23, 2004 1:24 pm

I have just decided to totally leave the zanzibar team, this makes it official, ever since the merger things have been getting more and more out of hand, and now Nitrous has gone and given the map to a total outsider which has totally pissed me off.
So, thats my update, and the mombasa side can piss off.
Sorry stefander, i really wanted to see this project get done nicely, but this is just out of hand now, and i am leaving this POS team.

Fight the power!

It seems Nitrous lacks good decision-making skills. Well, I'm sure it won't be as good without your modelling, but who knows?

Oh, and are you going to let them use what you've given them so far, if anything was given?

hehe i was mainly a texturer.
i am not giving any of the textures i had ready. all they have is the quick test textures that were never used, what they do have from me is information from a halo2 beta tester. like accurate weapon placements and stuff.

Well, that really blows after seeing NM's textures.

yeah, and most of the textures i had ready that i never shown were very good:/ totally painted in photoshop to high standard, anyway i might release this map i was working on.. not sure yet since i am planning on leaving halo. here is a screenshot of a typical building in my map. all textures are totally painted in photoshop with brush and layer styles, but are temporary, the quality will DRASTICALLY increase:

edit: very old pic, but shows the roof a bit better coz the other pic didnt:

You guys should respect nitrous's decision making. If he gave the map to an outsider, he knew that he could trust him. This whole thing sounds kind of immature to me.

Just because he makes good maps, doesn't mean he makes good decisions. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw 'whenhootersfly7' or something. Maybe 'whenhootersswim'. Sure he's a nice guy, makes good maps that are overhyped, blah blah blah, but maybe he's just not too smart about throwing maps to complete strangers.

Let me just say, nitrous is a great guy, but we made a golden rule at the very start that no-one except the developers got the builds, he agreed to this. and he has broken it a few times.
also, mombasa_classic was made by doublefire alone (with tips from others, but he made it all) so we havnt actually seen nitrous' stuff yet..

dude, that garage is amazing. I wish i knew how to create skins like that

Well the readme with the leak complained about Nitrous, so I figured he had some role in that.

jesus thats a nice garage, the textures look awesome. wouldn't want to overdue it though

goodbye and farewell. now zanzibar is gonna look like new mombasa with very plain and repetitive textures.

now how do i get the feeling that the whole group will be disbanded and the whole thing will forgotten?

I agree with you. Mossamba sucked ass. The map succeeded only because of its name. They also merged into your team only because of their map's name. None of them had any practical skills to get them into Zanzibar. They seem to be fine with releasing a subpar product. The Mossamba members should be kicked pretty fast.

New mombasa is and will be a great map it was made by mrs dooblefire on the most part from what i understand.
