First map but i think might be worth something

[The_Dead_Guy]

Hello everyone! im a new addition to Monster Mash. I sure some of you have seen me on the server. Anyway, i am a bigginer map maker but i believe i have a good idea for a map. if some1 would like to tell me how to put pictures up of it PLZ tell me ( i dont know how :P) and i would like to give the map to people (once i have gotten more work on it, just started today) to try it out and see if they like it and see if i could get it put on the MM server for invasion. The basic overall construction is a long large room where on either side is the player spawns ( i also need to know how to place monster spawns, sry for all the questions) and there are lifts and teleporters to take players up to the perches on either side. On the side of those perches are tunnels with horizontal lifts to go to the other side. I am thinking of putting a secret room in the middle of that with a redeemer or ion painter there. SOOOOO, any good suggestions for the map or help or whatever will be verry appeciated and HAVE GOOD MONSTER MASHING!

Hey ya, Dead Guy! :D

Welcome to the forums! Nice to have ya in the Mash too! Very good to see another potential mapper!

First off, if you haven't already...please read these two threads, they're some basic guidelines:

Next...if you want to post screen shots of your map, you'll need a site to host the pics. I use Photobucket...it's free and even a noob like me can figure out how to use it! :colors:
Try to keep pic size to around 700 x 500 or so.

Once you've got your pics onto Photobucket, click on the IMG Code link to copy it to your clipboard and then paste it in your forum post. And you'll get something like this: As for getting your map packaged up, you'll need to compress it...using some flavor of Rar or Zip. Then to make it available for others to download you will upload it to a file hosting site. I recommend using FileFront. It, too, is free!

Specific map building questions are best left to better mappers than I...so guys...jump in! ;)

once again thx and i noticed that the ion cannon info was for UT2003 so there are some extra goodies to mess with on it. THX

One thing I want you to remember is that since we have added the monster loot, please keep in mind that I really want to keep extra health/shields/superweapons to a minimum. The creature can drop anything from a redeemer/minelayer/link gun to shields/kegs of health.

I'm slowly going to remove those extras on alot of the current maps as time permits. Please stick to the standard weapons also. Were having some issues with custom redeemers and they are not wanted.

[The_Dead_Guy]

rgr that and thx for leting me know. Didnt plan to put a lot of weapons on it anyway. I will keep all the regulations and suggestions in mind.
