Allways trying to help

[res1l1ent]

whenever i join a clan i allways like to contribute in some way, however my funds are frozen at the moment so i can't donate, so i'd like to help in other ways for example i'd like to create some of my own maps for your servers or anything else, you can even throw some ideas at me. so i have 3 questions...
1. What software should i get to create maps?
2. What is a good (free) photo editing program?
3. I need a lil help setting up my profile for the forums display (ex: avatar and the =(e)= picture and the other picture at the bottom of the posts and the division i'm in, etc)

anyway i'm just trying to get set up early so i have no problems in the future much thanks resilient

What division are you wanting to make a map in?

Here is a tutorial: http://edgegamers.org/forums/showthread.php?t=37637

And to display the division you are in, click "My Account" at the top of the page and on the right side panel click "Edit your details" and the division tag is near the bottom of that page. (For an avatar it's "Edit Avatar" on the right side panel)

2. What is a good (free) photo editing program?

I recomment paint.net www.getpaint.net its free and amazing. And i know somebody else is going to say GIMP but i found it confusing and paint.net is so much easier to use.

I dont think that we really use community maps on our servers, unless its a brilliant map and everybody loves it and its awesome enough to get its own server.

GIMP is more powerful, and is extremely easy to use if you have seen photoshop. If you've never used photoshop it can be tricky, but it's not hard to figure out, especially with tutorials.

Use Source SDK for maps. It is located under the tools tab in steam.

resilient, everything you said about helping is great, seriously awesome, but remember this, by you just having fun, and helping out pubs, you would be helping the most. if ever you see pubs, that like our servers, let them know they can also be members of eGO, and show a link to our website. All the other stuff you mentioned is icing on the cake.....

i don't mean community maps btw i mean i'd make maps specificaly for eGO servers like captain nighthawk does, i'm not just gonna download a map make a few changes and call it my own (that's not even any fun).
