Alternative Heroes v2 and more!

Posted by SabreTrout on 06/17/02 - 08:38:11

First things first - I am about to make a new alt heroes version, and I have thought of some other things to put in it. But what would you all like to see? Some things have been mentioned in reviews, but if they could be repeated here it would be very useful (but don't worry about that too much). What is the sort of thing that you all want in the new version?

Next thing, I not going to ask scratcher to change his review again, but I do have a small point. If 1 review is vastly different to many others, should that not be considered as invalid? Just wondering....

Last thing, I will make more of these mini rants with scripts, but does anyone have suggestions they would like to see?

I am considering ones such as mapping and cut-scenes....

Any suggestions?

Although I said in my email to you that I did not want to get into what you want to do, I can't help but to say one point here.

I know you like to share your ideas with others by throwing out ideas or possible quests/missions in your Alternative Heroes files. In my opinion, I urge you NOT to do it in a released file.

For example, later on, someone released a dmod and you find part (or all) of the dmod is similar to what you suggested in your file. Does the author need to give you credit? He may indeed see your file and take your idea (and you deserve some sort of credit). But chances are, he might not see your file at all. It would get things more complicated.

: If 1 review is vastly different to many others, should that not be considered as invalid? Just wondering....

That's my take for your file. If I did submit a review for your file, the score won't be much better than scratcher's. Guess I did not belong to the majority of the others and my review would be invalid in your view. ;)

I don't want credit, if someone DOES use this file, then I would like a credits mention, but I'm not too bothered.

If someone has an idea that I thave in my file, than I don't mind if they use it, I won't accuse them of stealing it.

And I'll be releasing more files like this soon...

NO!! thats what statistics is all about, here are bound to be some rough patches in the data.. (what if we deleted every reveiw which didn't give a score above 9.0?? would that be fair?? i mean, if we did, it would mean that everyone OBVIOUSLY agreed, because all the reveiws were the same, and anyone who gave lower scores, we;;, they were obviously crazy, i mean, everyone else has given really high scores... lets invalidate it, because it scores lower..)

:P

No, i agree with you there, I think i misphrased my point though. I'm not too bothered by it, but I was just seeing what people thought generally.

I mean, if 3 people reviewed someones file, and all gave it scores below 3, and the creator or a friend of the creator came and gave it a 9.5, that would make a large difference in review score.

Well, everyone has their own opinion and that should be respected, even though everyone may not agree with it. Therefore it would not be very democratic to start deleting reviews that don't "fit".

I think it would be better to just explain how to do it yourself a bit more, as 4 examples is enough
