I went to a really cool building Friday and I was thinking it would be an awesome level for HL2. Problem is, I've no clue how to even start to make a level so I'm hoping to find a good map developer to make it for me. I'll supply scale floorplans and a website with a bunch of photos of the layout.

The map is to be used with regular HL2 deathmatch. Nothing really special in the map, basic rooms with furniture and doors. There is a windmill outside, I'd like it to have working blades if possible. I don't wish to distribute the map commercially; however I will retain rights to distribute it freely as I desire to friends and such but the designer can resell it or do whatever with it.

Interested devs please give me links to maps you've made that I can download and check out and a quote for cost and time to produce. Please email them to me directly at hl2map@nischan.com as I may not remember to check this that often.

Thanks!

Yup. I'll pay for someone to make it, so long as it doesn't come out sucking heh. I looked at tutorials on making maps and it's beyond me. I'd rather pay and have an excellent looking map than muddle through the tuts and have a crappy one hehe.

Well, I've no idea what the ballpark would be for something like this so people who are interested should send me offers (hl2map@nischan.com) along with links to levels they've created I can download to see quality. I'll want it to look like the real building, so there'll be a bunch of textures to make and stuff.

As for map size, umm not sure how to equate it. I've never made a map, so I don't know what units they are measured in. I found a floorplan on the website for the building for the first floor so I made a very crude level layout: http://pics.nischan.com/default.asp?mod ... 915.181317

I'd want basically the area outlined in the jpeg above. A little ways of forest to the north for outdoor fighting/sniping, then the castle itself has 4 levels to it. If someone takes the project, I'll be going back for detailed scale floorplans and site layout.

So if anyone is interested, feel free to email me a bid.

What, so you are willing to pay $1000 - $1500 for this to be made?

If I had a decent portfolio going I'd happily do it for like $500, I'm sure a load of people could start bidding or somthing.

Rofl. I'm too busy with a boat load of other projects so nevermind.

In commercial terms $1000 for a map is fek all. However if you are genuine Strahan, it would be a great first paid project for someone wanting to get into the industry.

Give it a while for the folks who visit Mapcore to view and I should imagine you'll find someone willing and skilled enough to give you what you want.

In terms of a working arrangement I would suggest agreed deliverables at various stages of the project and part payment at each of these milestones to show good faith.

Good luck to you.

Valve-Quality :roll:

1000-1500$ well, that's not a lot, unless you do that in a week... with all custom content and shit I'd bid it lot higher.

And Strahan, you will have to have a contract with potential developer, and expect him to want a alteast 30% prepaid before he'll start working.
