I'm waiting for the "static copy of maplantis" to happen. If it doesn't within the next few hours I'll start doing the edits. I'll be glad if everyone would post here and just say who they are, some usernames change and will also help me to have somewhere to link.

It's okay, I NEVER judge stuff for who makes it. I do for what it is. Example: Kooster surprisingly became from "noone" to "omgthisguyisgood" in his SMCI entry.

Graphics are taken into consideration in the Originality class and Content. Originality is the one that has most points so, yeah, I say it does matter. Content is also pretty strong of a category.

If anyone wants to join me, of the things that are unreleased now includes a working location plugin (y'know that thing that everyone keeps hearing about but is like "where is this thing? I wants." Yeah. I have that. :P)

:D I also have 2 other conditions and 2 other actions than editing locations. If you want custom *.got triggers, I can add them. All I ask for in return is a partner. ^^ [img]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y242/FaRTy1billion/LocPlug.png[/img] That is totally with triggers\melee.trg and my majickul plugin. ^^ (Ignore the capslock off... I was unaware that actually saved in screenshots.)
