Map making

[Atrayu]

I'm currently working on building a map for our very own sniper server, why you ask? Well... I'm not completely happy with any of the sniper maps I've ever played on. So, that being said... anyone have experience with Hammer? I can't get this piece of crap to apply even the standard textures let alone anything custom :facewall: toss me a pm if you think you can help. Or add me to to steam and we'll have a chat. Thanks alot.

So I've discovered that the textures are applied, I just don't get to see them... So, now I'm looking for that button.

well, got a successful compile and load... so lets start tossing some content in there.

Hi Atreyu.

I do not know about mapping but I am sure if Rogue sniper has time he can give you some tips.

Here is the link to his profile. I know he has made map switch before for DoD server and having another Sniper map would be great. I hope he can help you,go ahead and PM him.

I think Israel its that time for you to return home, get that =eGO= tag on brother

Atreyu, make sure you have some nice =eGO= logos with the site mentioned please. And one thing is it doesn't hurt to add a TAZmania devil in the map
I heard it actually brings in more peeps to the server, but who know for sure

I've gotten most everything figured out now. The tutorials on the development site didn't help me where I needed help... Of course I'm gonna plaster this map with eGO! and taz... a $30 donation to eGO server fund in my name will get you on the map... *snickers*

All this being said, I'm building this map as a pure sniper map, you cannot cross over into the other teams territory. My question is this, does anyone want me to set aside an area for melee? I have plenty of space to add teleports into a hidden area of the map where I can build a "speedball" arena, for those that are familiar with paintball... Let me know. I'm also taking suggestions for content, what people would like to see on this map. i.e. tower, buildings, damage craters, vehicles(static, non moving).

I would love a sniping-only map where you can't cross over. Great idea. :thumbup:
