mapping..

[stealthh]

hey eGO community, i'm starting to create a new map for css. It will be just a test for now. Any tips for me or stuff I should watch out for while creating a map.

kthxbye

Depends on what type of map your going to make. Hostage/Bomb Site/Jailbreak?

im starting off with jail

Start simple, dont go right into maps like Jail.

If you do then your maps will look really bad as well as perform bad. Start with like regular CSS maps then hostages/defuse maps then after about 6 - 9 months start experimenting with map types like Jail and etc.

Yepp, what Rogue said, he kinda knows everything about mapping, so take his advice.The jail maps really are complicated and it's allotta hard work. So start with something basic and good luck!

Check out the valve developer community site (google it), and follow all the advice there. Also remember: 99% of the time, your first few maps will never make it to release, but will help you learn through trial and error.

I always suggest this, but not many listen. Post your stuff and lurk around facepunch.com's mapping section. You'll get all the constructive criticism you can handle and learn from everyone else's mistakes.
