TEH FIRST MAP THREAD !!1 :D~~ - post yours too ;)

ugleh like everyone elses

I don't think you want to see my first map, from around 1999. Needless to say, it involved a hollowed room with some random computer texture and no lights (yet oddly you could still barely make out the details).

First and only released map - DE_Surreal

My (poor) skills as a mapper slowly evolved as I worked on this, from total newb to semi-newb.

More piccies @ http://%7boption%7d

There's more than a little de_torn in that last shot. I have to ask, what's surreal about it?

cough *ripoff* cough

i definately see torn in the last pic

I see textures from the "only 52 hours" counter-strike.de mapping contest...ahh memories...

I didnt know this forum was still around so for my first post on this forum i thought this thread would be appropriate

My first level was my workplace which we used to play on our lan at work at lunch.

My first map was for Quake2 and didn't have a floor and ceiling. You might be surprised it didn't compile.

Quote from st0lve

Well my first 3 maps was square aim maps, but my first real map

hey stolve, I remember that one!

mmmmh...my first map? released map?

my first released map was an ESF map last summer!

But Im mapping for 4 years for HL now but never released something online before last summer!

I always mapped because it was fun...sometimes I playtested maps with some friends, that's all!

my first playable map was a cs map and was called cs_spain! ...with r_speeds up to 2500!

I think Ive got it somewhere on my HD...I upload some pics later!

here you go

I first started mapping for DUKE3D, but i never finished any of those maps. Later i switched to Shadow Warrior (not the biggest switch ever). And boy did i map for that game. I made an entire city called "zilla city" , and it had an airport, a dock, trainstation, baseball arena, park, and a shopping district + a highway (with drivable cars). I never got it to work in multiplayer tho =/ . Anyway , after that i Jumped on the Quake train, and i even made full mods (Like CS) for Quake, and i didnt have any internet back then and i didnt know anyone who had. So they didnt get released or anything.

Then something happens, POFF. My harddrive dies on me. All that work for nothing. *crei*

By the time i had the energy to start playin around with games again Q2 had come out. So i started to map for Q2. I actually finished one map called "ott_funhouse" for this weird mod called "Over the top". I dont know if you can download the mod anywhere. But now that i remembered im gonna look.. ughh anyways, After some Q2 messing around i started to play around with Q1 just coz i liked it. Then my brother came home one day with Half-life, and we installed and loved it. After some time i started to make DM maps (only one finished tho). Yada yada yada, CS released Yada yada yada and i made loads of CS stuff in the beginning. Like, de_greenhill (huge green island in the middle of the ocean with an old military base inside it (even had a U-BOAT!)). Also made de_cemeber (Big Boat).

Again my harddrives (both of the new ones) gets all retarded coz of some old RAID driver (DAMN YOU SOMEONE). I almost cried when my brother said he couldnt save my stuff and he wasnt sorry for me not backing it up. Well. I still dont back shit up, and i dont have anything ive made today on my Harddrive except for 2 release counter-strike model/skins.

Im so depressed right now. =/....

PS. If anyone remember the X-COM: End of days HL mod that was shut down by infogrames (i was the co-founder of the mod) , i still have the files ;Då ~¨ even a weird map called "venice" that my brother and i made together is still there , lol.. well bye... .DS

again, i think people have lots of definitions of their first map

i always think about it as the first map i completed, not the first one i released

my first map was a cube with water in it and a glowing sphere in quake 1

lol

My first map ever was for Doom

Too bad I don't have a picture.
