Two days ago i started making a map i had an idea and decided to see if i could manage to make it,
my idea was to make a map which was a maze, you know the one that it quite confusing to find your way out of,
anyways i realise it wouldnt be that much fun if it was a pure maze but i did make it very similar to one,
i aimed to have each bit not to distinguishable from the last and making alot of it look similar however u can still find ur way thru, 8) this was also beneficial to me as i dont know much about mapping so making it look similar wouldnt be too hard i hoped :)
ok so its almost ready for a quick round or 5 but i have a few problems firstly when i compile it i have the same problem as hydra in this thread:
http://www.tremulous.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1701&highlight=hydra
even when compiling under 1.5 :O D:
so that makes it kinda lame also i tried to make my pk3 file as it suggest here:
http://fps.brainerd.net/creatingpk3.htm
but it doesnt seem to work :(
and finally i have no server to run it on, i know i can host it on my pc but maybe i could get it in a rotation on a not very busy server
anyways i attached some screenies
its quite basic but quite large and i think could be fun if i could actually get it played,
oh yeh i reduced the quality a bit to speed up upload/download

haha u called it the exact same name as my map which is "mymap" :P
if this is your first map here is some tips.
1.Many new people to mapping think eye candy is done by brush manipulation only.This is not true and it can be achieved many other ways.
2.when making eye candy make it something realistic. dont put a weird box at the wall. put a boiler at the wall with some pipes coming out of it for example.
3.Read tutorials , read more tutorials. and ask some expeiranced mappers for help.
This map has NO eye candy from the screenies , maybe you should either take my advice or get a more experianced mapper to help.

im new to mapping too, so u have my simperfies. my tip would be in this ss http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/7590/humanbasepc8.jpg u have ur walls goin to far over ur ramp. use the 1-8 keys to resize ur grid, so u can make smaller or bigger moves.

indeed i hadnt noticed that just changed it
but as i said i didnt want to much eye candy,
its a maze
in a maze eye candy would help ppl work out where they are a bit more easily
its not too hard to work out where u are, i think people would enjoy it if they could actually play it
but i dunno how to make it into pk3 :(
