OK downloaded the maps and took a look at them all I can see is a terrain using floor tile textures and an odd looking box room. The second is same but with a ladder texture on one of the corners?

What exactly do you want someone to do with this? You haven’t done much to start with and want someone else to make a whole map for you?
Your 13 so you got plenty of years to learn to make it yourself and probably a lot more time to do so then others. I can’t see anyone wanting to work with what is already their personally speaking.

Oh, I finally got the idea of the rest of the post.

And, noone will do a map for someone, so that the map author will be you name, not the name of the real author. It is not even possible for a money, you can be an “owner” of the map, the copyrights etc, the author will still be a different person. Until you do the map yourself.

There is a sample map, provided with a copy of radiant (goldrush i think). Have a look at it. Read the rest of the forum, there are a plently of guides for you. Easy ones, where you see the screenshots, or even a video guides.

And really, Q3 is the second easiest game to get after ET.

I started with mapping when i was 13… now im 15 and i didnt look at it that much, but im still able to make my own map (nearly :P)

Anyway… i got problems with my map right now, but do i go on the forums and ask if anybody wanna do it for me…
no, because i wanna do my map myself, i wanna be the author and i wanna take the critic for it, instead of just have someone to do that for me.


(ajdude) #11

the reason i dont map is cause my mapping stuff dosent work…

in my etmain directiry i only have a pak0.pk3 file and some random other things…

in that file are things that i cant edit…

when i make textures i get orange and black … i studied for 4 hours on this…

i tried importin .md3 and they went on the map… but no textures on them

i am having soooo many probs please help


(==Troy==) #12

Now this is better, isnt it? :slight_smile:

The pk0.pk3 is enough to start with. It contains the most general textures and shaders.

Download and install the latest Radiant (1.5.0c, search the forums for link).

Make sure that you gave the right paths for you Wolfenstein directory.

If you are running any anti-virus / firewall software, allow Radiant a loopback. (if you dont knpw what this is, just allow everything).

Run Radiant and try to start with this guide, I found that it is the easiest:
