Mappers' DataBase open

(Marko) #1

Hiya

Just a little note to say I’ve just finished setting up the Mappers’ DataBase. The aim of the database is to gather all ressources available on different games to help other map makers. This database will host prefabs, textures, shaders, models… We’ve almost got 100 items in the database (mainly wolfenstien enemy territory maps / prefabs at the moment) and would like all mappers willing to share their work to do so.

The Mapper’s Database is available here :

Thanks

i have a “build your houses” - set in beta state.
i am also going to write a program that auto-caulks all things that have to be caulked but does not work in any way atm.

All you need to do is register, login and you can submit as many as you need. I required a user name to trace IP addresses and be able to ban dumb arses who will post spam or crap adverts in there :slight_smile:

I set up a first list of prefab types but it can be changed of course if not convenient.

Thanks for your contribution guys. I know many map makers appreciate these kind of ressources.

… yupp i know
… “already” was the wrong word for my question (ive meant “still/again”)

omg … my english is totally crappy today (sorry guys xD)

Well I must admit I reinstalled my PC and haven’t put ET on, nor did I install GTK Radiant… I might do it to create a few more prefabs though… maybe I’ll work on a map too :slight_smile:

allready uploaded two prefabs :slight_smile: go look at them, one is called bombed house and the other is called office pack.

Marko if you have nothing todo, then you can join Eastfront Mapping team, we are allways looking for mappers, specialy so experienced mappers as you! :slight_smile:
take my invitation: check our site

Nice initiative, Marko !

It will most certainly come in handy for the community !

Thanks again

Those MLB map resources sure will be nice to look at, thanks.

You’re also going to start an ET:QW section or not?

(Marko) #13

ET QW game has been added to the list :slight_smile: You can store prefabs for that game too now :smiley:

(Manwhore) #14

Just had to register and reply here to pay hommage to one of the greatest map builders W:ET has ever known. Even now he’s still of great help to all of us mappers out there with this great initiative.

Round of applause for Marko!

A nifteh tool I say!

Thank you for hosting such a site. :wink:

(Marko) #16

Thanks guys, feedback is always more than welcome.

If this Ressource section inflates a bit and gets quite a few prefabs / textures / models on it, I’ll probably host it as a standalone site and add other features (tutorial editor section and stuff like that to group even more ressources).

Thanks to all those who participate and upload their work to help others :slight_smile: \o/

Tyrlop I’d be interested in helping you with your mapping needs… I am not pro but I have mild OCD ( obsessive compulsive disorder ) and would thoroughly enjoy scouring maps and adding detail. I am not bad at creating maps from scratch either. I am new to the ET engines problems and changes from original code, but I have been mapping for a while so its not like I am approaching the whole thing blind. I am currently experiencing compile troubles (system_malloc error) but depending on the map sizes I should be able to compile sections for testing and a final compile on my dads computer or transport the map file to my Mac side (partitioned drive) and compile using q3map2gui for mac.

PM me with map requests… I would also like to learn more about your mod… does it make it more like CoD sort of? Thats how I imagine it when you say realistic… talk to you soon.

Now on topic… that Q3 BSP information guide you have there is very good… I will remember it when helping newbies with hinting and portaling. And I learned a couple new things while I was at it. Much appreciated! bookmarks Is there a texture upload area?

(Marko) #18

Well the Mappers’ Database is supposed to be able to take any ressources (maps, prefabs, models, textures). It’s mainly got prefabs on it but there is 1 model and 1 texture at the moment available :slight_smile: … At least that’s a start :smiley:

(isbowhten) #19

hm… upoading is a nice thing , off course.
but the more stuff of similar issues are uploaded the more bad things are there.
what about a rating system?

(Tyrlop) #20

@Pande okey ill PM you in a minute.

Marko. why dont you make so you see them listed, i mean the newest first and oldest last ect. get what i mean?
