thanx Hyno Designes.
Its great to get positive reaction from a fellow and much acomplished designer.

Thanks for the comments guys.
As for my designing ,well i shall continue to make courses and i shall use my pc as a bench,,
That is to say if a course runs well on my mid range system then i think it is ok for release.
Sorry to those with low end systems, but do you not think that maybe you are asking and
expecting to much to be playing such games like twg on a system that can not really handle it.
It is not the fault of the designer,i mean why should i not use the resources available,they are there so i will use them.
Maybe its time for people to upgrade their hardware rather than trying to play modern games on totaly out dated hardware
and then complain about it,maybe these guys should stick to TGW 2003..
I can not stop the creative juices from flowing and am sorry but i can not spend time creating dull borring looking courses
just to keep the low end system users happy.

upgrade,,tweak,,get your pc running correctly,,,but please dont complain about something that is Free.

.many thx :)

love the course but its to slow to load for online play but thats my computer. about the libraries i just download the main course and let CL setup tell me what other libraries i need, 3-4 is all i need for any course and thats getting down to 2-3 libraries as i have most of them by now. but as arule of thumb the more libraries the course has got the less my computer likes it.

I enjoyed this course. Plays smooth. I d/l lots of customs so I only needed 2 libs here. This is a nice course. Keep up the good work, gene.

maybe i should mention that i only have a mid range system and the course plays smooth on auto settings. (max all)

The point about what bruce said ,,put you off ,,,,This is my exact point. What 1 person has said is enough to put you off along with the amount of libs.

when you download courses do you specificly only download those that use libraries you already have,
or maybe just those that have less than 5 libraries.
Im sorry but i find it all a bit strange.

Its a shame too because I liked the screenies but that amount of libraries are just unnecessary (in my opinion of course). Im sure its a beauty and its my loss, but thats just the way I feel

im sorry but i find this a bit strange too. And as i stated in a recent post ,i do not think all those libs were used its just that i didnt realize about the sticky fix ,so chances are there is only a few of those libs used anyway.

The screenies are nice yes, but only show a tiny part of the course,the rest is equaly as nice so maybe you are missing out for the sake of a few libs.
anyway
thanks for the comments.


many thx :)

people will download courses, comments or not
- some because of the designer, some because of the deion, some just because :)

i think most people recognize the efforts that go into course design and will usually give it a fair go as you said

but please dont minimize the effect of numerous libraries, not from the download time/effort alone
- but because TW06 is noticeably tougher on system resources, and more libraries means more resources used, and probably more lag, graphics issues, etc, etc depending on your system, graphic card etc

that said - i just d/ld it yet, and will give it a go

Gene,

I agree with your comments about the libraries, but there are still some out there with dial-up. If I didnt have high speed access I might be a bit upset seeing a lot of libraries, but at the same time I would find a way for either someone with high speed to get the libraries for me or just download them over time. The CLTool utility is a nice program and I believe will find it useful in designing.

That list of libraries was what showed up as required for the course when I checked the course. I didnt just go through and randomly click on libraries for the fun of it. That is the list that was given when I checked it and that is exactly what I entered.

My guess is that during the design you may have used some of the libraries then removed the objects and the reference to the library stuck. The CLTool program from Jorgen has a feature to remove sticky libraries, which I would recommend architects use prior to compiling and uploading courses.

Im not sure all those libraries are used,,it certainly did not feel like i had used many while making it.
You may be right though bruce and i can only hope that people have downloaded enough courses in the past to
already have the libraries required.
Those with CL Tool should have no problems uncloaking them if they are hidden.
But yes i shall bear it in mind when making other courses and thanks for the input.

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/gene.c/ could try that dds ,,,works for me.

strange about the flags,,,on mine its a grey skull type thing with GB-UK Golf in the middle.
i just tried to open it in irfanview and it says its invalid,,yet it opens in adobe with no problem,
maybe best to delete it from the course folder and then the original EA flags should show.
Also needs a mention that the course is a par 73 and i have tried altering it in my course manager but to no avail.

anyway thx for downloading and im glad you enjoyed the course.

many thx :)
