(PM ME FOR ANY CHANGES NEEDED OR IMPROVEMENTS)
What's up guys, over my time in eGO i've seen many members who have wanted to learn to map and get maps on the jail server. Even though it may seem impossible to alot of you newer mappers to get maps on the server, it is possible if you take the time and effort to perfect it your work.
Take me for example, i got the original ba_jail_darkness_v1 on the server back as an e, and i vomit every time i see that map. (no joke:glare
And over the past year i've gone from that piece of crap to stuff like this ! Cough spoiler cough
It just takes time,sweat and blood(maybe not the blood......) to achieve a high level of mapping skills and techniques, you're first map will never be a 'super awesome jail map' fit for sever rotation !
Everyone starts somewhere, anything is possible if you can set your mind to it, I know alot of you want to learn to map but are hesitant because of the SDK Hammers complexity.
But its not as hard a you would think, if you play around for awhile you'll learn that is is considerably easy to use. There are also hundreds of tutorials out there to help you get started, it isn't that hard to get started !
For more information on tutorials read the sticky here - http://edgegamers.org/forums/showthread.php?t=37637
Now a few things to keep in mind while mapping for jail that are necessary.
-ATLEAST 32 Terrorist Spawns
-ATLEAST 16 CT Spawns
-A good layout
-Optimization
-Texturing
-Content of the map
-Keep the maps under 50mb
-Don't change server cvars (e.g sv_airaccelerate)
If you also would like some help feel free to pop me a pm or Rogue Sniper and Christy on the forums or over steam and maybe we will see what we can do to help you(don't overload us with pms please)
