CS eGO Map community

[Vane]

I feel that there should be a Dedicated Division for Maps makers in eGO, I talked with peoples that have many ideas of maps. I think that we need more new map in Jail Break, TTT and the other eGO server. Let me know what you think about it.

 

[AlKawai]

Tbh I was going to suggest this but since you were in the same voice chat you posted faster than me. (wink wink)

It will be good to have a dedicated mapping community for eGO since another community has it, and we don't.
I saw multiple posts people wanting to become a mapper for eGO on the forum, but we don't have it.
Also, we could have some events like mapping contests, and mappers can compete with other mappers.

Having our maps are good for us when we can create our style maps so it will match the server, also edit maps so it will match the server as well.
I have already made a map for eGO called eGOffice which I made it with much help from other community members like larry and custom (and more players)
It helped me when I had someone that knew to map also when people helped me when I didn't have any ideas for it, and they gave me some suggestions.

I would love to see eGO have a mapping community, and I would help eGO if they need help with it.

I agree. We have a lot of great map creators and they do deserve their own division. They dedicate so much time and effort to bring (and edit) maps for our community to play on.

I don't really understand the need to create a "division". For years people have been making maps for the eGO servers in the community, without having any sort of formalized group. Rogue Sniper made tons of Jail maps, Dragonhill did great work on TF2.

If people want to make maps for eGO, they will just do it.

A good mapping community comes from people wanting to do mapping and doing it. Not from creating a division.

Simon How can you say, "If people want to make maps for eGO, they will just do it."
we aren't bots that produce maps for eGO automatically. And I don't really think you guys appreciate enough for those map makers.

I make a map by talking to people on Teamspeak/discord or in-game and get ideas and thoughts on how people like maps and how it will be played, but right now, eGO does not have any community for mapping. I think that's bull shit. We should have a community for eGO mappers. We deserve more attention.

Anyways what I'm trying to say is, we need a mapping community for those that want to make maps for eGO and share those thoughts and ideas and help each other not just go entirely solo and make maps for eGO.

Sorry if my English is terrible, I tried my best, but I can't describe how I want this to happen.

A AlKawai my comments are in no way to discredit or disrespect the huge effort many people go to make maps. I'm more saying that you can't create a community just by dropping in a division. I'm failing to see how a "division" would work. What benefit would it have? Why does it need to have a special team?

I feel like maps are artwork and art is created by drive for wanting to make stuff. Are people suddenly going to want to spend thousands of hours mapping because we created a title for them?

I see people starting maps, putting them in suggestions / CS general and getting feedback there from a variety of people. What more would creating a "division" do to benefit this?

-1.

I understand that mapping is a great talent and eGO definitely benefits from it, but to make a whole separate division solely dedicated for maps? If I recall correctly, map makers were considered a part of Tech Team until they were no longer considered. I think making a division solely for maps would be a waste of time. Here's what you should do: create and advertise an eGO Discord server dedicated to making maps. We already have playtesters, just find a server specialist.

Making maps is important and the player base underrates it a lot, but unless there's something else you can incorporate into a division instead of just making maps for source games, I fail to really see why we would need a division for it.

 

[AlKawai]

I did not say anything about the division. We can start as a Mapping community. cant we have a mapping community? is it that hard?
I've already created a mapping community for my own since eGO doesn't have it, I want it to be an Official thing.

also, server specialists are a different thing they find maps and test out maps.

what are you guys on about "division" stuffs we want a mapping community, not a division.

 

[Co-Worker]

I would like a dedicated mapping community for eGO so we can communicate more and talk about ideas and if we have issues we can solve them together its already hard enough to make a map by your self without anyones help or opinion and i think a community would really help and speed up the process of map making

 

[AlKawai]

What Co-Worker said ^^^ not a division its a community for mappers

 

[Loser]

As a person that has helped out if would make it so much easier to have like a tab on the forums to talk about designing on maps would help out so much.

 

[kuantum]

Whatever form this community takes, I'm game.

I just don't think a division is worth the time and effort.

 

[Simon]

A AlKawai Co-Worker what would eGO need to provide to foster this community and make it work? A section? My previous comment I was running on the assumption you wanted a “division” as the OP had requested. I’m cooler with the idea of encouraging and building up a community within here to bring more interest and development to mapping. What do we need to do?

 

[Vane]

Maybe not a Division but a Team as Jeff7890110 told me but I think that Co-Worker Make a good point.

 

[Ledzo]

Just add yourselves on steam and start a steam group or Something, but yeah division = servers to recruit people from

 

[Co-Worker]

We have a discord server but i think what alkawai is trying to say is to make it official

 

[AlKawai]

Ledzo I already have a discord server but I want this to be official thing that's why I'm suggesting it.

 

[AlKawai]

We need a group for Discord also maybe a TeamSpeak channel there you can communicate with people there
also, make an application forum for this mapping community from then we will discuss farther.

 

[Lord. Death.]

I believe he meant a secetion where people can post maps & tutorials there, and help those who need help with mapping.
which I guess is a good thing of course, so +1.

 

[Matrix]

Tech Team has their own section of map makers, I don't understand why this would be a need. Also its not like a bunch of people in eGO have an expertise in Hammer
