Post by: Garrett on January 20, 2008, 12:01:57 AM: Ok...
First off the textures are nice but... finish one map to completion and then you can release another one. The first map you posted needs a lot of tweaking and now you post another one, the same day, that needs a lot of tweaking. One at a time my friend.

Post by: Eiii on January 20, 2008, 01:13:55 AM: Whaaaaaat is going on up there.
Texture misalignment everywhere, the walls are made of lights (?), the X is made out of who-knows what (A custom texture, I assume), pirate skulls?, vertical rock walls among all this, barrels made of barrel lids, AND IT'S NOT LIT OR VIS'D.

Please do texture appropriately. And VIS/RAD. And not release your first few maps.

I love sarcasm.
Anyway, Nikademis, listen to Eiii advice on releasing your first maps. This map looks cool but it is more of funny map, not a map to be releasing with the hopes of being able to have people play it in pubs.

If you get bored that easily, and just can't focus on making one map.. decent before starting another one, mapping might just not be for you :)

Post by: Nikademis on January 21, 2008, 11:44:41 AM: well, this map was modeled after UB Cliffs. I hate people who camp & spawn kill in UB Cliffs. There are idiots that think its great to camp and spawn kill, so i made this map to try help eliminate that.
I sent to a friend about 2 months ago who has a server & we were playing it. We failed to realize that people were jumping on his server & they did like it. I know the lights have to be fixed. The R_SPEEDS are not to bad. It will be placed on his server & my server in the near future.

Title: Re: another new map
Post by: Garrett on January 21, 2008, 04:21:09 PM: Please stop acting as though your map is God. Listen to these people. They have a lot more experience and wisdom when it comes to making and releasing then you do.
Title: Re: another new map
Post by: Nikademis on January 21, 2008, 04:35:55 PM: i am not trying to act like anything.....i just want to know what those links do. thats all. and if you are referring to about if people have maps......i was asking so if they do have a map i could see it maybe learn something.........................................................................................
Title: Re: another new map
Post by: ViciouZ on January 21, 2008, 04:43:29 PM: Yeah, so blaa sent you a link to some top-quality maps you could compare with, and I linked you to some source files for maps so you can steal stuff from them (or just learn from them).
Title: Re: another new map
Post by: Nikademis on January 21, 2008, 04:53:55 PM: thank you ViciouZ. I have all these maps downloaded. some of those maps are pretty cool. BUt being a 15 yr veteran of real paintball, I am trying to design a map where you really can't camp and if you do it won't be long till some one shoots you or you move. What maps do you think are the best? that could be a starting place.......thanks again

Title: Re: another new map
Post by: Nikademis on January 21, 2008, 05:07:26 PM: my point is people are tired of campers so i am trying to taking camping away with any map i create
Title: Re: another new map
Post by: James on January 21, 2008, 05:08:28 PM: Oh, good luck with that.
Title: Re: another new map
Post by: Garrett on January 21, 2008, 05:36:08 PM: That is pretty much impossible because people will always find a way to camp.
Title: Re: another new map
Post by: Nikademis on January 21, 2008, 05:49:43 PM: i know they will. any map that has a room they will camp, but i am TRYING (lol) to make it difficult to do so.
