Hi I just wanted to get input on this subject of weapons. I know people are bored of stock weapons but as a person learning how to map and script a little it kinda haunts me a bit about ever releasing a map because I'm not the best with weapon porting and I don't ever want to half ass something.

I dont mind ported weapons if they are freaking ported correctly. I hate maps with ported weapons with wrong anims/wrong stats/missing sounds. I would rather take a good amazing looking map like nacht der toten walder(believe thats the name) with stock weapons and perks, then a crap boring map that was obviously thrown together in 5 minutes with ported weapons with wrong stats/missing sounds. There are those rare moments,however, where you have a beautiful looking map with ported weapons that are good ports, like zombie library recently by jzob.

Hmm thanks for the input. I know I don't want ported weapons on a map I make because I'm not like that to just go half way and not finish.

If you want newer weapons than the stock WAW weapons (which most people are tired of) then use the current UGX Mod or else wait a little while longer for UGX Mod V1.1.
Not many maps can impress with stock weapons and one of the big reasons that Nacht der toten Walder had stock guns was that it was the missing story arc between Shi No Numa and Der Riese.

I shall. I know people are bored of the stock weapons and I can't blame them. I shall try COD 4 and BO weapons and make sure there not broken. Thanks for the input bud!

If you do happen to get some Drag'n'Drop weapons from CFG Factory or the like, just spend 5 minutes to them. I got an MTAR without reload sounds made for COD4, made a new sound alias and added reload sounds, made it use the default W@W knife model settings, made a lot of other adjustments, took 15 minutes.

Seriously, it's just 15 minutes per weapon to pretty much fix most of the DND weapon ports, why many of them are still broken is beyond me.

Thanks for the tips ! I shall look around that website. And for now I'm trying to get a map centered around the 1960s so I might use a old weapon or two, but I shall work hard on the weapons part, I know some new mappers are frowned upon because they take the easy way out and don't care or they don't think it hurts the experience but I do care.
 

I'll be honest, you wont find me interested in any stock based map, Nacht Walder is a slight exception, but even then my playing experience is hindered on that map, so its not one of my favourites, Farm Swamp I view as an alternate Shi No Numa which looks exceptional but again is very boring, likewise any maps with poorly ported weapons will not get my congrats either so tbh its almost easier just to use a mod like UGX - but that doesn't mean making a box map and slapping a mod on top to make it seem good - which is exactly what i've seen on ZM, maps like farm swamp with UGX on top is what i'd like to see.

Lol I get you. The reason I made this was because I was afraid of porting weapons and doing a terrible job at it which is why I thought of this. I'm working on a more serious map now for about 2 weeks so no box map, I have started some porting from  Black Ops so hopefully everything goes good thanks for your input!
