Well, I'm about half way thru my first attempt at mapping. I wanted to know what kind of maps the snipers liked. Do you guys like the huge open maps or the tight maps with short hallways? Give me some ideas. This mapping thing actually seems easier than I made it out to be to myself. Thanks all in advance.

Cool I find it a hard enviornment to get used to.
Try more open maps with lots of places to hide and snipe from.
We prefer camping maps as opposed to freestyle maps. It's nice to be able to plant yourself somewhere and not have to walk the mpa to get kills. 🙂

I like maps with shadows you can Hide in, multi level too !

Personally, I like the "mini me" kinda maps. The indoor maps where everything is HUGH and the player is roughly the size of a mouse. If the spawn points are good and there are plenty of cool hiding places, then this type is the most fun for me.
Well, it looks like the first map is done. Yo_MaMa got to preview an incomplete draft of the map and gotta kick out of it. I've added more to it since. Of course, it's still not really finished because I need more input from other critics. If anyone wants to check it out, PM me with your email address. I welcome the advice. Have a good night.

The newest update is that this mapping thing is all-consuming and pretty addictive. It took me forever to figure out why the map I was emailing to everyone kept performing critical errors. It's a learning process. I finally got all the bugs out and the map loads and runs smoothly. If anyone would like to beta-test, just let me know. Have a good one folks.

I had a tour in it yesterday and I thought it surely woould be a great map for redeemer !!! For snipers too of course as it is a big map. Dark corners, lifts and everything to surprise anyone.
Nice job !... The only thing you could do is to add some objects to hide behind : boxes or kind of trees... anything you could think about.
I'd love to try it with real people inside.
Here is the next map I'm attempting. It is based on the "Stargate SG-1" series. This is as far as I have gotten. Eventually, the room will be full of little mouse holes to hide in and it should be fun.
The textures may not be right right now but I'm working on it. Have a good one.

The first map you did was really good. I see it as more of a redeemer map than a sniper map, but only because it is a large indoor setting. I do suggest that you submit this to a gentleman named MEAT. I would betcha he would really like it and use it for his server. He loves those big maps.

LOL !!! You're greatly right Jarg ! Meat would be glad with lots of that kind ! 😀 😀 😀
My ears were burning...someone mention my name?
Bigger the better for me. Would love to check it out.
Throw me the keys so I can take around the block.
🙂 I used to be real into the stargate series, kinda lost interest but I think it could make for a real cool map, can't wait to see what your cookin up Draco

MEAT, I will send it to you using your MEATMEATMEAT address. It is a cool map.

It's not 100% yet, you might want to wait on that.
