<div class="IPBDescription">Mapping</div> I want to make my own map for NS, and I know how to make a basic map. I just would like someone to make a small map with 2 rooms that have the entitys. ( 1 room for the ready room and the other the game room ) Like a tutorial map that I could edit and build from. I will be very thankful.

To be honest, if the tutorials are no help, give up mapping, you've not got what it takes. To read and learn the tutorials it takes patience and attention to detail so you can master the skills, if you can't be bothered to do that, i can't see you being bothered to make a decent map at all.

Bah ensuna, I didnt read any tutorials. I never do, they're boring. Mapping itself is fun, and thats why I do it. I learned by talking to Kage via AIM. He walked me through everything. You dont need patience to make a good map, you need to have fun when your mapping. I could care less if he maped five minutes every day, the map will still get done.

Ditto. Not bothering to search the forums or getting other people to do work for you is, obviously, lazy. Sure if someone wants to go ahead and help him, go for it, but i, for one, can't see the point in spending time doing some work for someone who openly just admits they're too lazy to do it themselves.

And #Ha.Ze-, while mapping itself is fun, yeah, just when errors arise and so on, it requires time, patience and a lot of hard work. I can't really forsee someone without those traits searching for leaks in an immense map, or, in my case, retexturing massive chunks and remapping parts purely for optimisation.

EDIT:
Also, as he states he wants someone to, essentially, build the basics of a ready room, if someone does something like this for him he's not going to learn or be able to do it himself. He gains no experience and no skill by taking the easy route.

Hmm, I suppose I agree with esuna, despite him being one of the grumpiest old gits on the forums <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>
