It doesn't matter if the map has been done or not. You won't really be able to make a masterpiece with your first map. There are a lot of tools that you should know how to use before attempting a real map. For example - ever used the Paint Geometry and Paint Alpha tools? Wink.

I made about 5 pretty small maps before officemini.


I'll learn as I create the map, and even if I do release it and its completely s*** I can go back and change it.

Even James hasn't gone for *big* maps yet (when I say big, I mean on the scale of cs_hurst_gold). His smaller ones are good though, and if they were bigger they would flail. Stick to what you can do, and you will get a better result.

My history of maps I made Razz

CS 1.6:

Test room
de_gasstation (pretty big... it was pretty bad too Razz)
fy_aztecworld
fy_assault_mini

CSS:

de_warehouse (it was alright)
fy_sandworld
fy_officemini
fy_shipdocks

So before I made officemini, I'd made 6 other maps.

Jus had a look at the layout and props for my map and it doesn't really look like much of a prison but more like a hideout so it will be officially called fy_hideout_b1 Razz

Ok, cool.

James, no offence intended, but wouldn't it be cool to make your own textures, instead of "assault_mini", "officemini" and "aztecworld". Also, shipdocks is in HL2. Your maps are cool, but more origionality (in the sense of textures - the layout etc rawks Razz) would be cool.

Making textures takes ages. I'm no good at it! You also have to do bumpmaps and stuff for them. It is really a lot easier to use pre-made ones. Anyone who can make their own good textures for maps is really talented.

You are really talented, but just need a bit of a boost. Anyhow, you have made 5 or 6 maps using pre-made textures - it's about time you tried something harder Razz

I'm not an artist Wink. Someone else could make textures for me, and I'll make good maps with them Razz

officemini was going to be a medium sized version of office, kind of like an office2, but after making one of the hallways i decided to make a small one Razz.

Maybe i'll do a bigger one
