NOTE: I know this isn't really a challenges idea but I decided to post my first map idea here so I'll use this post as a documentation for the status of my first map project. This is my kind of documentation and its just for fun!
My First Map Idea: I have an idea for a zombies map that is personal to me and unique enough to stand alone as a beginner map. I'd like to make a W.A.W. map that takes place on an peninsula on water. I think there should be enough room to train for high round attempts, a building to bunker down and acquire ammo, perks, and weapons, possibly zombies raising out of the water covered in moss and sea gunk. I have other ideas but I'm new to mapping, so I'm open to suggestions for starting my first map. A graveyard in german occupied territory? Sounds like fun! The Question I had for the UGX-Forum: What are your thoughts for a new user? I've been using UGX for mod downloads for a couple years now. My New Approach to a Plausible Idea: I thinking since I can make my imagination possible by studying the documentation, I will study over the course of the new year. Just to let it solidify and then ask my questions on the UGX-Discord Server as I work on building my way back into map creation. The Status Regarding My First Official Map: Once I follow the instructions for installing the mod tools correctly, I'll have to record the keyboard combinations from Radiant into my note-keeping journal so I don't forget how to build with Radiant in the future. UPDATE:I've returned! Now I'm gone again! What's the deal, dude?
I took time to concentrate on my well-being and returned to focus on the projects I've shared last year.
* The maps that we've created as test maps,
zm_peninsula and
zm_graveyard, are unfortunately lost to my own anger. Maybe, there's a way I can salvage them.
* The passion to create a map is still there, there's a friend of mine I would like to commemorate as well as my dog to make a personal farewell sentimental.
* While I have not have been worked on my studies for a while, its hard to say when I can fulfill these promises to the community because I'm looking for a job on the outside.
* I can at least say that for now, the Fan-Made Guide is polished, newly spaced in formatting and I'm currently adding the finishing touches to the final design for John_Banana's discord community.
* Discord is still a hot spot for my usual voice channel parties and W@W game sessions. Feel free to reach out and then remind me to get back to work. Cheers!
