I handt really started yet with the skybox , but ill make one

Ok i made the thread in the finished work gallery, now mazys gotta sticky it:

http://www.mapcore.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3545

Now who wants to b one of the five? U gotta be a regular, find some new forums for some game ur mapping for and create accounts on them before updating the sticky in the finished work forum. Anyone?

could just make the pimp account "Mapcore" and drop the .net... that avoids the potential dot problem and makes it less obvious that it's an address.

Yes the .net is dumped.

I'm afraid that people will consider this global posting under a global name as spam or hostile act to take over their communities, which would result in angry people crapping all over this so tidy place. But it might as well turn out to be a pretty good thing if the username mapcore stands for top notch levels. As the others said, if you use it with care and make each release of this group a real winner, it could be nice

I think it wont be too spammy, theres only gonna be like 1 map release a month or something. They will probably be grateful

Well if ithappens, I say that you have to contact one of the 5 to release your map. One of the five does NOT give anyone the password. That means those 5 have to be actualy dedicated to the task. Though...

Those 5 ppl would have to pimp all the maps then, and also update the sticky with the list of forums. I thought its better if we have some more ppl for that, that can create accounts on forums etc, but only ppl who have been here for years that we know give it out.

heres an ugly shot of my first source map suicidebomber. Its supposed to bea US base in Iraq, penetrated by the lions of Fallujah

It has lotsa crates and the floor is flat so far, but heres a schermschot anyway:

That wuld be awesome sdkr, if u could make it work DO IT NOW!!

And mino, this is only gonna go to mapping forums etc. Its not like unwanted spam. What dont u like about it? Its just like normal pimping except u can do it faster and on alot more places, and only for quality mapcore maps

Mazy you got to make the sticky first and then we work from there

who voted no and why

We gotta have a single password and username for all accounts. Im not sure if u can create and account using a . (a dot) on all forums. But we shouldnt start making accounts yet, cuz these ppl will get the PW and first we need to decide who these ppl will be. The way i thought it up was:

-Its only for finished maps, not WIPS, and only quality stuff.

-1 moderator (MAZY) makes sticky thread on mapcore Finished Work Gallery forum, using a NEW account called Mapcore.net with the PW. Dont worry mazy all u have to do is create the sticky :wink:

-4 other ppl (longtime members who rnt too lazy) get this PW from the moderator and start making the accounts on other forums (with same PW and username). Then they update the forumlist in the sticky over time(not by replying, but logging in as mapcore.net and editing the sticky).

-Nobody gives out the PW. Only the 5 longtime members decide who gets the PW or not.

-Mapcorians who release a map and we know for sure we can trust, get the PW from one of the 5 and can start pimping their own map on forums. They can put their names in the sticky thread if they want others to contact em for pimping requests. And they can update the forumlist in the sticky if they create new accounts. They should never give out the PW.

-Mapcorians and other ppl who dont get the PW and want to release a map can just contact any of the names in the sticky thread on IRC and ask if they have time to pimp (should be pretty fast work if the author of the map makes the text and image codes etc).

So i guess there will be around 10-15 ppl with a PW. Sounds a bit unsafe but these will be ppl that have been here for years.

Quote from Kosmo

In my opinion, if you want to be a good mapper, CS:S hardly cuts it these day. If I were a mapper and wanted some new challenges, I think I would go BF2.I mean, how far do you think you can hone your skills when all you do is straight forward maze maps that all CS:S maps are?

What are and what can be isnt the same. If you dont wanna build mazes, then you dont build mazes. Its not that complex. Also switching to BF2 wont make you a good mapper if mazes are all you can come up with.

Cs was without doubt the most mapped for game on the planet, with the best and most beautiful maps on that engine. Lotsa ppl here got their job from mapping for it.

And Css, well, its gobbummingly fun to play, even if its in a maze (which you cant say about HL2DM imho).

Every time i release a map (which is dozens of times a decade), i have to pimp it in the most insane ways to get it spread. But the most horrible part is registering on dozens of forums and posting there, to find out months later that i forgot dozens of other forums.

So i had an idea to make it a lil easier for me to pimp my next map , and for all other mapcorians who have a map to pimp.

We write a list of forums for Source (and any other games ppl here are editing for), and for each forum have an account called Mapcore.net with a single password for all the accounts.

Then, to spread the map unlike any map has been spread before, all u have to do is go thru the list, log in to each forum with the account, and be done in 5 mins! Ofcourse the pw to the account will only be known to mapcorians, so nobody else will abuse it.

Besides it being easy to pimp, mapcore will get some namefame and after a few quality map releases from the mapcore account, evrybody will instantly download any map posted by it. Artists from all over the world will beg us for the pw, which they wont get, but they can submit their jewels for us to judge. The pimping machine will be unstoppable and all of our maps will be played by lots of peeps!! (if u vote yes on the poll).

I think the community is a bit split. For hl1 i remember we would play with 10+ mapcorians on a map i made for cstrike and on lotsa other occasions just playing dust or some other standard map, but nowadays ppl are busy playing bf2 or katamari damacy. Damn u mazy

Besides that, hl2dm isnt competitive enough, cs source is boring according to all of u, except me and mrh2o (damn u all), and even tho DOD:S is superb none of u play it. So i think ppl are just too busy playing other games instead of mapping for the game they should be playing, cs source, which is superb beyond comprehension in a good map .

a little bit brighter please.

And what evert said

Mawibse you should watch the show. Ur right tho its not perfect science, thats why theyre gonna collect 90.000 more samples.

I was just reading some entries on the blog on NG about the project, pretty funny stuff:

God's Adam [ posted by [email protected] at June 27, 2005 02:09 AM ] 






The Holy Bible is the greatest book ever written, and in it we can find the answers to most of life’s questions. The answers we can’t find, or the answers we can’t understand…well… it’s just not for us to know, at least not now, anyhow. But if you are a Christian and have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ into your heart, you’ll have the opportunity some day to ask the Great Creator face to face when you get to heaven, any questions that might still be burning in your heart. Isn’t that awesome?


It doesn’t’ take scientists and a world wide Genographic Project for us to understand the origin of the human race. But I applaud you for your efforts and for helping through the physical evidence of science to prove what God has already told to us in the Bible in Genesis 2:7, “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” 




God called the first man to ever walk the face of the earth, Adam. And from Adam’s own body, God made him “an help meet” and Adam called her Woman. After the temptation in the Garden of Eden and the first sin, Adam named the woman that the Lord had made for him, Eve; because she was to become the mother of all living. As punishment for their sin, they were cast from the Garden of Eden and Eve began to bear their children. There it is… right there in the Holy Bible… Adam and Eve were the father and mother of all living mankind and from those two, all the people of the world were born. And yes… that includes red, yellow, black, and white. 




The Bible tells us that a river flowed out of Eden to water the Garden and it parted into four heads; The Pison, which encompassed Havilah; The Gihon, which encompassed Ethiopia; The Hidekel, to the east of Assyria; and The Euphrates. There it is again… right there in the Holy Bible… The dawn of mankind began in the Middle East where modern day Iran and Iraq is. For two thousand years, our ancestors inhabited the land in and around that part of the world. But that all ended when the second Adam known as Noah, was spared from the Great Flood that destroyed every living thing on the face of the earth.




Noah was responsible for repopulating the world one last time. His three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, began their journey from Mt. Arat, where the Ark landed after the great flood, and from those three, and from that mountain in Turkey, Noah’s three sons and their descendants repopulated all the corners of the earth.




God is so awesome!

I guess he didnt see the show, it says Adams from Africa not the ME

didnt he already say he made that outside map?

why wouldnt i
