Scorch · Post by **Scorch** » Wed Oct 13, 2004 9:33 pm

HEY! why not?! come on i had to do SOMETHING with it

JeffM · Post by **JeffM** » Wed Oct 13, 2004 11:18 pm

but if noone can look at them with out your permision what is the point.

post some picures of the map so people can see what it is, so they can ask you permision to run it in on a game server.

otherwise they have to run it in bzedit only.

wat i meant was don't run something like secretplace with this map. not that anyone would do that cause it stinks but anyway. yah sure you can run it for a while but not permantly.

ok screenshots coming up (someday)

no he's right, it's a prety bland map, with little to no design.

Actualy I was just giving my opinion on it.

Try to make the map interesting, and make the item's placement mean something, not just make a prety patern on radar.

The best maps are ones where the objects allow for good cover and stategy.

I don't think age has anything to do with creativitiy.

brad2901 · Post by **brad2901** » Fri Oct 15, 2004 8:48 pm

yeah age doesn't matter, dw can make good maps

Scorch · Post by **Scorch** » Fri Oct 15, 2004 9:42 pm

and he is...? yes well fine. if it sucks it sucks. what should i do now?

JeffM · Post by **JeffM** » Fri Oct 15, 2004 10:45 pm

I find it best to have an overall design idea for a map, not to just sit and make paterns.

What type of map do you want to make. Figure out what the overiding theme or goal of the map is, then start from that. Then just refine the idea down.

Man, in my view, making maps is like making poems.. Inspire yourself! Animals, Cars, your girlfriend(ahem, forget i said that)
