Need some idea's here! Created 20 years ago2004-05-30 21:09:07 UTC by davideo59

OK, I know how to do mostly everything, but I really am lacking in the head ... humm kinda made fun of myself there... Anyway, who wants to cough up map ideas please?

Please designate whitch game you are wanting it for; CS, HL, OP4dm.

If for counter-strike try a shipyard

if for half-life try a rats map

if op4dm the same as half-life

Try this.

cool.

Why not map for New Problem?

I suggest you:

1. Read some books.
2. Watch some movies.
3. Take a stroll outside in the city.
4. Don't force yourself to think up an idea.

I often find inspiration coming when I least suspect it. For example, during my exam Dutch I got some nice idea's. Or while watching a movie I though up on a nice setting for a map. Often, combining these idea's greatly helps making a map unique.

Store up on idea's, make sketches so you don't loose these idea's. At this moment, I have several scenario's to try out. Too bad I can only handle one or two at a time...

We usually put the adjective (describing word) before the noun (object). Dutch exam, not "exam Dutch".

Good recommendations.

look for pictures of cool buildings online and try to mimick them. stick them together with a few monsters and WALA!

What about HL-Basketball?!?

just kiddin

map off of James Bond movies and games! it would be kewl!

Or try some "American Gladiator" style!

Weird

oh, you said HL-basketball. There is a map for TFC called basketball where you really do play basketball against the other team. The people in the audience get to shoot at you.

Just perfect...angry fans...

lol

try to map the cube

or the MIR

That TFC map sux! and no one plays it!

Terrorists: Plant the bomb in gordons left ear / brain
Counter-terrorists: Rescue gordons little soldiers in the [/i]lower[/i] region.

OMG, no.

Actually, after all these idea's, I'd like to see some actual mapping...

mapping, hehe, a funny word....

Everyone is usually preocupied with some other Idea, and these brainstorm ones just die away in the forums.

play these games:

resident evil
silent hill
dino crisis
freedom fighters (<-- this one is for large maps with buildings)
splinter cell

Freedom fighters is a great game! i beat it! you definatly can't map that, too big outdoor levels.

biiiig! biggy! HUGE!! ahhhhh! to big!

but some of the indoor ones can.

Take a walk outisde, i guarentee you, you will get ideas. If you don't go watch a movie or read a book.(like captain p said). Or you can think of a theme for a map (like ancient egypt) and do some research. Look more closely at the world and you will notice things you haven't before, this helps greatly when i wonder how to design my map.
