Yo Witchy

I thought id come over here and say hi, since you come visit us from time to time.

I am v00d00, aka Moonie. Mapmaker, Admin, Gamer, occasionally annoying person. I have been a gamer since Sinclair reased the ZX Spectrum 48k back in the day (still love manic miner), and have been playing FPS games since Wolf 3d. My favourites are Doom, Quake 1, Quake 2, Counterstrike 1.6, Wolf: ET and now Urban Terror. But i mainly play UrT nowadays, and occasionally CS 1.6 and Wolf: ET when i have time.

I have mapped for a couple of different games over the years, but at the minute i mainly make really fun jump maps for UrT.

The fact i remember the ZX Spectrum gives you an idea of my age, i was 8 when i got it, but id been using BBC computers since age 4. So i guess im an old style geek.

Once in a while i code stuff for fun, but less and less do i get this urge nowadays. Witchy has been trying to sell the merits of Python to us (hehe), but ive passed on it as im not a fan (much prefer perl).

Anyways i have no idea why im saying hi, but hi.

V00d00 at finally i see you Hi,I am Mike, an old smartass of *Evil*.* clan (Was it) I searched time to meet you qand wanted to ask,how to make a maps in UrT?

Anyway welcome and hope to see ya ZkillZ

How to make maps, hehe.

1. You need free time and a lot of it.

2. Software: Read this thread (for windows users) http://forums.urbanterror.info/topic/22044-urbanterror-41-mapping-installer/
For Linux Users it can be a pain in the ass depending on your skill level.
For Mac users, similar to Linux.

Software at the basic level: You need GTKRadiant or ZeroRadiant. Almost everyone uses GTKRadiant 1.5, some use Zero which is 1.6, but their are annoyances in both versions that you may or may not see. Secondly you need the def files for Urbanterror. Thirdly the common-spog.pk3 from id software. Instructions for linux exist on the urt forums, but its all a bit like black magic, the best ways tend to be passed down mapper to mapper.

3. Tutorials: http://www.gotdelirium.com/bubba/bubba.planetquake.gamespy.com/mapping.html (this is what i started with)
http://www.wemakemaps.com/qworkshoptuts.htm (and this)

A lot of mapping is about looking at other peoples maps, reading tutorials and playing with it all in radiant. Try to do 3-5 new things in every map you make. After 3 months you should have the basics down. After that its all practice. The more you fail, the more you learn how not to fail. The more things that work, the more instinctive you get with your mapping.

I released my first mainstream map 18 months ago (ut4_basicjumps_a4) and it has taken me around 16 full maps since to get to the level of BSTJumps. Many people have said both Rabbit and BSTJumps are of really good quality, and that is about 14 months mapping experience to get to that level.

Tips: Learn shader lighting. I mean LEARN this sooner rather than later, it will make your life easier. You will understand why with time.
Learn how to make shaders in general. Shaders are your gateway to cool effects.
Try and map for 1 hour per day. This way your experience will build up fairly quickly.
Make jump maps until you have a good grasp of the functionality. Then maybe try frag maps.

Yes BSTJumps quality is awesome, thank you for this map

I have to lol at UAA member.

If you want to join, make a thread on the site and i'll second you as your reference.

thx v00d00 soon i will be to UAA member (10 years more xD)

We dont really know each other but i meet a lot of BST in 3 years gunnin in UrT
I have to say it's for me like aG-Rum, a great clan, even if know much the noob fruits than the beer shooter (that's hit ? )

For your age i bet on 35 or 36 years old
I am maybe younger but i think we got same "old style geek" maybe you do more thing than me cause i am lazy dude but... nvm
I do some shitty map for CS 1.6 too, and when i try to do same for UrT... i give up so fast xD
So really i respect UrT mappers

Well it's your topic i will stop spam here
Have fun with us and cya around
