Hmm, has anyone ever tried to make a Sto Created 14 years ago2010-01-19 11:37:51 UTC by Suparsonik

[Cont'd] ry type mod for TFC?

I wonder if I could try doing that...

I have.. and its fun, sure.. but just give it a shot :/

Stick to something, make it, and then come tell us about it when its done.

Stop making a thread for every thought that comes into your head.

I know you're new, so ill give you a break.

I thought it up once way back when I had just started mapping.
I couldn't do it because TFC doesn't have single-player support.

F***ING STOP POSTING USELESS ....sees admin

I told you very clearly what you should do. I think a week has passed. Have you read a lot of tutorials ? We want to see your practice maps, but don't spam post room-sized maps.
One day you want to do something, the other day you change your mind.
You just have to know your limits. Trust me, as you are now you're not capable of making a modification for Half-Life. I don't want to discourage you.
Of course you can start it, but you will never finish it. Or if you do, some maps will be so bad that nobody will want to play your maps. You are going to hit difficult compiling problems that, for an inexperienced mapper, will seem to be impossible to resolve. And the feeling of deception will cover you and the enthusiasm will leave...
There is no point in starting a massive project. At least at your age( I'm guessing you're somewhere between 12-14). At that age your motivation can disappear as easy as it appeared.
I strongly recommend you to start practicing and leaving these thoughts for later. make singleplayer maps. But not an intire mod. Yet.

I hope you will consider my advices.

I'm still motivated about Ghosthunter. Hell, I'm working on the first level as we speak. I'll upload it when I'm done. I'll then let you guys check it out, then i'll revise it.

The TFC story mode idea sounds like it would be cool, but really hard. I set that aside till I'm done with this mod.

Also, I'm 17. So, i think I'm old enough to do this damned thing.

Age is irrelevant. As is experience.

I'm 23, I've been mapping for 9 years. I've never released a mod.

Man, I've been mapping for 8 years and i'm 19. How time flies...

I don't even remember how long I've been mapping, but I can say I've easily started and given up on over 100 projects. ;(

The sad thing about new mappers(myself included) is you have all the drive and motivation in the world, but none of the skills you need. THEN, you get some skills and experience and you can't think of anything to map, or you just don't feel like it... =(

yep, that's me

And me.

I'm 15, mapping for ? years. Most of my maps get deleted (by me) before they are finished. Sure, they were mostly crap, but it doesn't mean my skills aren't improving. One day I will finish a map worth a damn.
