Project: New CSS Jail Map

[Bryan]

Okay guys first of all I'm new to making CSS maps, so I need some help. First of all i need to know how to make those guns in armory. Second, I need to know how to make the buttons; for opening cells; disco; etc.

Also I need some ideas. Thx.

I would try youtube. If this is your first map, then don't try a jail map. Before captain comes in and trolls. But if you need help at mapping ask some of the mappers around. Like chirsty, rogue sniper, captain nighthawk. But youtube will probably help the best.

Okay

If your new to mapping heres what i say to everyone

DO NOT

Start with jail maps

Start with playing around and learning the editor

All your tutorial needs.

Also never make your first map a complex one like jail..

any take your time too make the layout and play test like crazy and after the play testing and adjustments made with the info from play test starting detailing.

there area already too many maps out there that areant good just because the were never tested and look horrible and there giving a bad name to custom content all together

Like others said, don't start with jail maps, they take hours of work. And take a look at
3kliksphilip videos, they teach you nearly everything.

3kilksphilip is hated in the mapping community. Don't watch his videos, he teaches poor technique.
