[EviLTaxi]

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!

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

[Mazy]

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

[Kedhrin]

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

lol

[GrayFox]

lol...I can just dream to have my Q3 levels back :wink:

I remember switching from Duke3d to a 3d engine (quake1).

Since Duke3d could not have "sector over sector", I went nuts when I could finally create 3d stuff. EVERYTHING had to be 3d! Brushes were floating in the air everywhere, because you know what, it's 3d!!!

Good times.

[tnoh]

lol, i installed Duke3d and i found my old levels on some cd.

Ayes, here we go:

God how ugly. All screens are from same level I think i made these around 1997 or something.
