Yeah, great way to misquote me. I said I don't care about how long the grip is, because I specifically stated that I made the wrench the way I wanted it to be.
|
I was only misquoting you in the same way that you misquoted Angel of Dawn (or whatever his name is). He was talking about a logo, and you were talking about a grip.| Aircraftkiller |
Read, comprehend, understand. Got that?
|
(By the way, comprehend and understand are synonyms. Your little statement right there sounds retarded. Either all 3 things should be the same, or each should build on the one before it. The way you wrote it is just stupid.)

My name isn't "ACK," either. For someone who consistently harps about English usage, "ACK" is not a proper acronym since my name is not Air Craft Killer.
|
I never claimed that ACK was an acronym. Ever heard of a little thing called a nickname? "Dick" is not an acronym for "Richard." "Chuck is not an acronym for "Charles." Get used to it. I'm going to continue to call you ACK whether you like it or not. (Though if you really object, I suppose I could probably be convinced to switch to FRL, which is an acronym* of an anagram of your name. Would that make you happy?)
(I will NEVER call you AK though. That's an insult to a perfectly good weapon. And even though it's an inanimate object, I care more about hurting its feelings than I do about offending you.)
Also, I'm not the one who harps about English usage. You are. I harp about people being hypocritical little fucks who feel a need to go around correcting other people's harmless mistakes. And when people try to correct my writing despite the fact that it's already correct, I explain why I'm right.
The difference here is that you pick fights about the way people type. I pick fights about you being an ass.
*EDIT: I misspoke here. I meant to say "abbreviation" rather than "acronym." An acronym is an abbreviation that can be spoken as a single word, but FRL would be spoken as three separate letters.

You can call me whatever the hell you want. I certainly don't give a damn.
In Angel of Dawn's post, the fact that he was talking about the logo was implied. (Yeah, I know, it's a big word. But look it up and then go back and read that thread again. Maybe if you try really hard you'll figure it out.)
Also, you quite obviously don't care about the community. We can figure it out even without you explicitly saying it. (Examples: nitpicking with people for totally insignificant things, starting arguments just for fun, continually bashing other people's mods rather than offering constructive criticism, refusing to share information about how to modify things)

Wow, you got the point that time! It was meant to mock how you write.
|
Well, I'm sorry to say that you failed miserably at yet another thing. If you wanted to mock my writing, you should have written in the same manner that I do.

My name isn't "Aircraftkiller,"...

Anyone else thrown off by that?
The wrench sucks ass. For something that small and simple, you'd think that you would be able to do a better job.
And wtf is up with this filters?  to ACK...that's bullshit. What gives you the right to change people's words? Oh well, at least it's not as ridiculous as your "skin" to "-texture map-" filter on Renalert.

A 3D Modeler/Artist must be able to model and texture his or her own work. It's good that he textures his own work because then he can improve on it.

For some odd reason SEAL, you sound like an anti-femenist.
"A womans place is in the kitchen and that's where they belong".
"Aircraftkillers job is making maps and that's what he should do".
Or I could be wrong and you could just be a moron. Or maybe you could be both.
WHATEVER, FAGGOT

I'm sorry that real socket wrenches aren't up to your standards. May I suggest you look at some before whining? Perhaps the one I posted?
|
Didn't we go over this already? Your socket wrench does not look like the one you used as a model. You just don't give a damn.

I work on vehicles every single day, I know what ratchets look like, and that looks nothing like a good ratchet... Maybe something made in china, but not a good North American made tool...
I do like the GM Goodwrench idea though  You need to add a clip to the top for easily reversing the direction of the ratchet, and extend the arm a bit, no one in their right mind would buy a short ratchet, you'd never get any torque out of it!

Even I find you annoying. And if you think its shit, why dont you go and make your own texture for it. And then you can tell us how you got a reflecting chrome effect on it which you seem to want.

3 - The wrench pictured has a rubber grip, but I contend that it is unrealistic to use that wrench as your model. The wrench in the picture is too modern for RA, and I think it wastes too much rubber for it to be used in wartime.
*3* The grip should NOT be rubber; it should just be metal with a grippy texture. Even today, most wrenches have metal grips rather than rubber, and RenAlert is supposed to be set decades ago. Also, during wartimes, rubber is a VERY important commodity, so I find it incredibly unrealistic that it would be wasted on a wrench grip.

Yes, but you see, it's and alternate reality.
w00t?

I know. I just don't think the rubber grip fits a WWII-ish atmosphere.
Also, there are other problems with his wrench model/texture. I'm not the only person who thinks it needs at least one more polygon at the end where it's pointy. And I'm not the only person who thinks the grip part of it is messed up. And I'm not the only person who thinks it should have a clip on the head to reverse the direction of ratcheting.
You guys really don't seem to realize that I'm actually trying to be helpful here. If the RA team thinks the wrench is good enough for a video game and really don't care how it looks, then they should go ahead and leave it how it is.
If they actually want the wrench to look like it's really a socket wrench, though, they've got some work to do. And if they want it to look like it's actually a believable WWII-era socket wrench, they've got a lot of work to do.
I'm probably never going to play RenAlert, so I don't really care what they end up doing about this. I know what a socket wrench looks like, though, and I thought the RA team should know that the model/texture do not look real. What they choose to do about it is up to them.

That makes no sense. Historically, wars make technology advance faster. Innovations arise out of necessity. Logically, a world that never had WWII would have less advanced technologies.

Go complain to EA. I didn't make it. That is just how the storyline goes.
