Wow,

You expect to be able to demand someone to help you, and they will? Good luck finding someone. And as for not giving out ideas until they agree to it, I find it highly improbable that a known mapper will agree to do a map without getting:

A write-up
A design
Designs of every room, open area, etc…

If you expect to truly get anyone interested post your idea for a map. BUT, before you do it, spend a half hour and think about it. Draw it up, think through any game flaws, map flow, chokepoints, etc… Don’t just assume that your idea is kick-ass, and will be awesome as a map, as that never happens.

like erls mentioned, it will be more easy for you and other readers if you will post a map concept, also you may want to talk to these who desire to
participate so you should leave some sort of way to communicate such as chat channel or msn or something, know from self exprience more then one man on a single map will not bring good results.

I’d disagree with the statement about more than one person on a map.

Marko, Lowlife, and Bob Le Roux seem to work amazing together as a team, and have made some of the best customs out there I believe for pub play.

I would agree though, you need to have a channel for communication. Whether it be IRC, xfire, msn, icq, Ventrilo, whatever. You need a place where you can talk quickly and easily about the map.

I belive you are right :slight_smile:

LMAO… as a mapper… reading the comment you made about “NO” not until you agree to work with me, is quite a demand. Ive helped ALOT of people over the course of 3 yrs mapping… and have worked on many maps… but after that I dont think I would want to work with you, even if you had the most brilliant idea.

In order to get an experienced mapper you will need a GOOD write up of your idea, preferable some sort of drawing, a theme, and some understanding of how a map works.

It takes ALOT of hours to make a map from start to finish. Your not going to get my free time to help you make a map if your not even willing to try to convince me you have a good idea.

Good luck finding help.

Mappers become mappers because they have thousands of ideas in their heads

and we like to make our ideas not others

so unless we love your idea (if you’d tell us) NOBODY will help

(DerSaidin) #14

Yeah, plus posting (and worse, double posting) with no grammar and heaps of typos annoys me :stuck_out_tongue:

(hilmz1) #15

ok i agree with you lot but when i put my ideas down someone will read them and then use them to make their own map. my xfire is hilmz. i need proof that u can make maps.

How many people have posted so far that mappers have more than enough ideas of their own?

I’ve posted my ideas on here, and noone has stolen them. Once you post them, if it is before anyone is talking about that map, people will know that it is your idea.

I’m guessing that right now, your idea amounts to this:

well, i want a 1337 map that looks cool.i got 2 tanks 1 barrier 1 cp and the alies atack across a river and have to build the bridge but there is this big tower on the other side of the river were the axis can make a machinegun and shoot from which also can be built. then the allys have to escort the tank to the secret room and blow the doors open and go inside and retrieve the uber important documents to be brought to the other tank which will be escorted off the map.

Am I right?

If you want serious consideration, put out something like this in your post:
1: Basic outline of the map
2: Objectives
3: A basic design of the map. Draw it up and scan it, it aint hard.
4: Try to provide pictures of what you invision as the environment.
5: More than one way to contact you. Not everyone has xfire, and they won’t get xfire just to talk to you.

Now with that , I disagree - not everybody are from the UK or have A+ in grammer, yet it doesnt mean they should be ignored.

Thats a good start to get pepole to take you more seriously :slight_smile:

i give u some ideas listen this is just one of my ideas meaning it aint the best my idea is to have two base one allie and one axis. they both have to do the same thing which is take their tank and destroy their door and steal the objective. if allies get to blow the door first it means that the axis will have to fall back and defennd. i will draw up some diagrams and show u a little example.

i guess the best way to split a team is by program. smb does textures/shaders, other do models etc

and my english is “4+”, but is seems its because of the teacher, or isn’t it?
