Anyone else having rediculous fun in the spark editor!
If I had known it was going to be so much fun I may have pre-ordered :P

I have never mapped for any game before but always been interested in it, So I thought id finally give it a go for NS2.
You can literally put some good music on and jsut get lost for HOURS! mapping :P.
So much fun!.

    Its mostly frustrating, but that is mostly because of the texture tool. I always close the editor once I get to that point. The result, lots of untextures areas :P

    I wish i was good at making my maps, I'm a square map kind of guy. Angles and circles hurt my head. I threw together a map in about 8~ hours or so which is on steam workshop, it's just 2 hallways, a spawn room for rines / aliens, and a tech point in cetner to fight over. It's very slaughter festy, be ready for lols if you play it.

    I'd say its not as addictive as Minecraft, but definitely addictive. I only started mapping a couple months ago and look at my working directory! (not all of those maps are finished/published!)

    I used to find it more fun than playing games honestly, then minecraft was invented and I combined the two, now I just play minecraft instead of mapping.

    Spark does seem an improvement over source in many ways though, easier to start with and more realtime feedback.

    Wasn't marines with parkinsons, it was the damn tram itself that seemed to be jittering all over the place, made it a nightmare to sit on it as an Onos.

    I think ive spent half of my ns2 playtime making stuff in the editor, no complete maps, just rooms with pretty lights and texturing just for my own amusement.

    Be careful or you could find that you start thinking about mapping all day, every day. Even your dreams aren't safe! :)
