Mapper Introductions

[Retro]

G'day, I am a mapper, A pretty decent one at that. Thanks for your time.

[Logik]

Hello,
My name is Logik, my main aspiration isn't to be a mapper, I like coding more, however I decided to be a well-rounded developer it wouldn't hurt to learn both. I take to making maps for a variety of reasons, one is because I like to develop for small, hole-in-the-wall communities that lack the resources or man power to create one on their own, I make modifications to popular maps of their choice to better suit their community. Another reason I make maps is because I have ideas that, similar to writing a dream down, I make a rough copy just in case I like to use it for later. My skills in mapping are decent (My objects sometimes get a bit blocky and undetailed and lead to me having to correct them later), and of course the more time a spend on a project the nicer it ends up being. Recently I've taken to developing a series of TRON-related maps, I've made simple rendering of the "Light-Cycle Arena Grid" (A simple feat at the most, practically just making and texturing the walls and ground) but plan on making a massive, role play-ready map including areas canonically present in the latest installment of the TRON series (As of now, TRON Legacy) such as TRON City, The game arena, armory, out-lands, the Arija ruins, a rebuilt End of Line Club, the digital rendering of Flynn's Arcade, and more. Over my week-long break I wrote tons of script ideas and I'm considering the idea of developing a game mode, but for now I will stick to the map idea. I am currently experimenting with NPC Nodes, trying to come with neat little nodes to add ambiance and life to an environment as well as doing the coding for my own SNPCs.

Did mapping for ZPS only, couldn't really get into Gmod mapping and since Source SDK isn't available on mac, my mapping days are done unless I get on my Toshiba crap-top I mean lap-top. I still made a bunch of fun ZPS maps along with a buddy of mine that goes by Nopego or Fang, I'll have to check my friends list eventually, but he mainly did objective maps while I stayed in the area of survival. All in all, my days are gone for now unless I get back into ZPS which has gotten a recent update but is only available on a windows OS (even though Source has been modded for Mac recently).

Hi
I'm Nespc i've been mapping for around 7 - 9 months. Lately I've been trying to edit BA_underwater_prisonV5 cause it looks like a decent map that could be used for machinima. but there are so many things to edit. That and I havn't used it for awhile

edit: shouldnt this be stickied?

[.:KFrohman:.]

Bump for content.

I can't actually remember if I posted in this or not. Oh well.

I'm Frohman, formerly known as Kazuo. I modified the original City 45 maps from tnb to CG's specification, something I'm still doing to this day.
Elsewise, I don't do much. I make the occasional personal map for myself, and I was the creator of the ever popular Robot Wars map back in the days of OC. A version of it can be found on toybox.
One thing I suppose will set me from the rest, I damn near obsess over lighting. It has to be a certain way, sprites have to use a particular texture, etc.

[Sexy Frog]

I'm Sexy Frog, I'm a mapper.
Now I've never completed an RP map but I have done a TTT map before known as TTT_Giant_Daycare. Good or not, that is debateable but non the less I made it and it was when I was less experianced. I will say that with a recent TTT map I'm working on I'm having a problem where whenever I load the rendered .BSP into Gmod it crashes Gmod entirely. If anyone can help me with this I would love you long time. Oh and how to impliement custom models/props that are not source ready would be awesome too. Anyways, yeah, that's pretty much it.
