Bucket of ideas

Bonjour!

What do mappers need the most without srewing up the map? Ideas.
Since my head is as empty as a ridiculously big barrel, I'm gonna need something to fill it with. For example your souls... I mean ideas of course.. Err.. Carying on. Anything is welcome, but remember don't go over the top, since I can't make an lesbian army wearing clown noses on their nipples and armed with paintball guns that shoot a mixture of milk and tacos.

If you do not wish to give away your ideas for free, then just leave me your adress and I'll gladly come by sometime personally to resolve that issue with you. Also I might introduce my small friend Steve aswell while I'm there.

PS. I like tea.

I know you've got some, and I want them!

A map were your in a Hedge Maze ..only with trap doors that kill you..and..hidden weapons in the very middle

Or a british style pub. Anyone ever seen Shawn of the Dead?

Well, thanks for the idea, but here is the list why it wont work;

- Hunting is impossible
- Finding an enemy might take ages.
- The simplicity is so massive that it would just look like some newb had made it.
- And picking up weapons only allows you to have 1 full clip on the gun.
- Left or Right?

-------------------------
EmO^, If I do have the time and motivation and an easyer way to make it, I will.

Fair play.

What about like..a sports center?
Outside could be a carpark..then inside you could have like..a room with a swimming pool. Rooms with ropes to climb up. Then a room were you ice skate, and the whole room is slippy.

Or make an olympics map. Were you could a running track..high jumps were you can climb on. A room with a pool in it.

I dunno. Random ideas.

make a part of an airfield ? maybe planes or some waiting halls with ticket handling and stuff just trying to think of something here XD

I travel alot using public trainsportation (read: trains)
So i see alot of trainstations and i was thinking to make a map based on those trainstations, but then it hit me: i can't do mapping, i don't have the time to figure it all out to be able to do so...

So if you're intrested im willing to make pictures on these trainstations with hotspots i would use to use in a map..

Simple, but effective. I like.

hmm, tbh, that would be like modifying de_train, only that you kinda make the map from square 1, but... anyhow, it's a realy good idea tho Where do you live btw? Maybe you meen some of those realy neat trainstations they had before a little old-school

Almere, and i mean stations between Almere and Schiphol

And no, it wouldnt be modifying de_train. de_train is outside, what i've in mind, and will make pictures of are mostly inside the buildings
Something like Amsterdam Central or Utrecht Central, but with alot more from different stations allowing more places to hide/camp

go in schiphol airport with a vid cam just for the fun of it XD

Anyone know if it's illegal to do a map what is a RL school? It's not helping of terrorism because if you don't put the bomb areas you can't place a bomb, right?

i think i heared a long time ago somebody in america was actually arrested for doing a RL map that looked alike so much

but i would do it anyways i mean comon if the terrorists want a layout of a school they just walk in and out xD

That will cost my job. Its not a public area you know...

But a public school is no problem. In the end its still a building with 4 walls and a roof.

A RL School is a Real-Life School, probably ment as Real-Time School tho. Exists in the realm of the Real World.
And to connect everything to Terrorists.... Are you American or something? Only they are so paranoid...

Lawl, they simple load a Van full with C4 explosives and drive it into the School :p

ok my bad walk in and fly out

Be carefull with building a school as a map, the FBI tests all zombie mod maps just in case someone puts a cunning plan to flood the earth with zombies in the map.

Idea: Remove HauntedHouse ( Dunno correct name )
Reason:
*Lots of people do no like it.
*It gives lags some several people because of the darkness or I dunno why. xD
*Lack of view.

Darkness might be something for a zombie map but Haunted house is just more of a 1 time fly.
You see it once, its nice, but not for gameplaying.

My apologies if I hurt your feelings idm, because I thought, if I recall correctly, Hauntedhouse was made by idm.

Hauntedhouse should be removed yea, Everyone actually hates it I think, I personnaly hate Neko abura and holdout maps.

i just played holdout b5f or something, like Bjorn said, I don't like it either, there's no real barricading positions ,only groupcamp spots

I always seem to forget how those 2 maps look like..
Even though I play them, 5 mins later I forgot it. xD

holdout 5 is the map where you can get on the rocky bit on the side of the map, you climb up through some cave,which is actually a ladder, and then you can only walk straight forward on that bit

to say it easy zm_Holdout_b5f is the 1 with the cannon if u have never seen the cannon u havent never played the map properly

the cannon is shit xd
