Here are some more great links to look at. My advice when making a map is have an idea of what you want. Like teh titanic or castillo. Ricks idea was a large ship and mine was a remake of a SOF map called Jordan. Maps like snowmen are theme maps and have no set direction of what they will look like. Theme maps can get out of hand for size. Make prefabs. Some examples of prefabs would be a house in my snowman map all the snowmen sences are prefabs  the rinks are the slide is. What great about prefabs is there small and you just drop them into you terain (map). It makes thing very easy to manage.

But then you'd have to consider who would play it... Foot in mouth 

 

Though, if you turned the 'nades into pink icing cupcakes, I'm sure Beers and I would drop by... Wink 

 

Just don't turn our rifle nades into pink cupcakes as that would be too phallic and Chile would get jealous! Surprised

Salut, Labob!  La question I have is how much artistic talent is required to build a map?  The only experience I have is of building text adventure games for fun using builder programs designed for the purpose.  In the old days (that you might remember) they even had huge pads of preprinted planner paper (dig that alliteration, fellow linguists!) to act as a first stage of "mapping out" the terrain.

 

Bear in mind that I have downloaded nothing to date so humour me, please.  (I know General Wolfe wasn't very kind but, I assure you, I am not a descendant as far as I know...)

 

I am in awe of your work in Castillo and Titanic ( a bit of flattery sometimes smooths the path to useful information ) and I would not wish to belittle your undoubted skills ( yeah, don't piss him off, DeeJay, or you'll never learn) but can one produce something from a library of "stock" images and artefacts that would pass muster?

 

Je vous prie d'accepter, Monsieur, l'expression de mes salutations les plus respectueuses. Wink

Hackeklaus the answer is yes. Please add snypir1 and labob13 to your x-fire snypir's  the 3d man and very helpful. He's an admin over at cod utility's and a great guy.

  Sirurts alot the tools and the game are one in the same once loaded. If one screws up the other probably will too. I use 3 hard drives for all this stuff . I find cod2 tools work better and the ass manager works better in XP. But it still all works in windows 7 or vista.And on a daily bases I use win 7 .  So to answer you it depends on what OS your using and if you have UAC turned on. So what you using ?

  Deejay no talent what so ever. You have seen many maps that are  grey boxes. Mine are bit different from the rest but mostly because so many people make the same map. So I would say some form of construction or Architectural skills to build a house or city block. Next is patience and time lots of time. Anybody in WAW can tell you when I'm involved in a map I have very little game time :( . It does take hundreds of hours to make 1 map. you have to imagine it start creating it then there's a wack of problem solving and map error correction. For quicker maps there are alot of prefab's buildings already made for you you just have to texture them and place them in a map. I can't find the link at codu but I have a bunch and the tools come with a bunch. Same as models couches chairs tables and so on there all in the tools. Once again start small a house a barn and work up to a full map. I find it relaxing. I have no idea why :)
