Map Makers Unite!

[coRtALoS]

As for this thread, I've sent a PM to CrookedFoot on what the future of this thread is. For now it can stay in here as the original question was asking for others to help you with a map, which is what this section is for. Yes it is partly advertising, however you're mostly asking for others to help you out and e-mail you, not telling people to go to a website.

As for the map/trigger making, i'm pretty good all around with terrain, and know triggers inside and out. I'll sign up if the conditions SmashBros.Pro listed are acceptable. I'm pretty good with websites however I cannot do it on my own... let me reword that. I can do it alone for pay or part-time for free

If you do want to advertise for this new clan however, feel free to start a new thread in that section though SirBryan435.

Wing_0, this is your only warning you'll receive. The forums are experiencing heavy spamming, and I will not tolerate anymore one-word posts from you. I've made a thread in The Void of one-word-posts you've made, split from their original threads. Please post something to contribute to the forums in the future or you will be reported to SkuZZy for neglecting Rule #3 listed on the BattleForums Rules Thread.

All members are encouraged to report this sort of thing to moderators to help control spam if you're becoming annoyed with it as well.

For your website... try http://www.avidgamers.com. It's free and comes with a forum, polls, COMPLETE user control and everything. If you need help with anything avidgamers-related send me a message. I'm tempted to join this just to get help with a big UMS that I made that I need help with. Anyway, good luck.

Hey sir bryan I noticed how you said you werent using any editors...go to this link it should get u hooked up...

As far as this clan thing goes id probably join up, but wed have to do some major advertising since i dont really have the patience for small clans with just a few members.

Sounds Great

I'll help out. Sounds good to have UMS maps. I'm not too shabby on the scripts and triggers but am learning fast. Terrain isn't a problem though.

For your website, I can help you out with that. Now I know you said you have a html prog. I do know flash and if you want, I can make a flash video for your site.

 

[SirBryan435]

Thx for all the feedback, I've recieved several emails and a few posts on this forum.

As for the links you guys sent me, I don't think I will need them, but thanks. I use my website hosting with another place, (I can't remember the name right now, but it's free!). Also, the fact that I don't use editors is by my own descision, I don't really like them for some odd reason. The only reason I would ever use an editor is to change the maximum number of upgrades!

Anyway, thanks for the feedback, and keep the emails coming!

I'm not trying to be mean or annoying, but not using editors simply because you 'dislike them' is a stubborn decision. They're not going to screw up your maps or anything like that, they're simply patched versions of the original staredit. There's tons of things editors can do that im sure ud use besides the max amount of ups...you can protect (lock) your maps so no one else can open them in staredit, make square terrain for a bound, use the junkyard dog ai for an insane rpg, lights on/off ai scripts for stacked defense maps, add new skin colours as 'decoration', convert terrain types of an entire map ie jungle terrain to twilight terrain, change the size of your map to whatever you want if you've already started your map and decided it needs to be bigger, add units for neutral players, add extra units such as cocoons zerg eggs gas tanks dark swarms and even scanner sweeps, compress every brood war sound file into a folder in your starcraft directory so you can use them whenever you want on your maps done with brood war sound compressor, add new placeable heroes such as arcturus mengsk (bc) gerrard dugalle (bc) raszagal (corsair) and others, automatically add a full set of map revealers covering the whole map using scmdraft, and adding text colours with map colours or scxe.

IS THAT ENOUGH DETAILS?? NOW DOWNLOAD SOME ****ING EDITORS! NOW! GOGOGO!

okay, im new, but i can still make maps!! i have been using triggers for a long time, and i personally dont know all of them off hand... but i know some of the basic html... like text and boxes and lines and stuff(give me a break, i learned it all in a 5 min tutorial trial!). and i suck badly in the map design category... although i DO know a person with great mapping skills. he is currently getting his computer fixed and ill tell him to register.

anyway, do i haveta change my name, and is it a CLAN? or just a small team? cuz i already in a clan...

Hey, thats funny. You're right! I AM stubborn!
And guess what! I can get anything I need by editors from other people. The only thing I would ever really need is Shared Vision Off, and I CAN lock my map with a program other than an editor!

 

[SirBryan435]

Anyway, keep the replies coming! As for the website, Flash skills would be VERY appreciated. I also kind of want someone with a good art program. I'm too cheap and young!

p.s. Theres gonna be a delay on the website because I am using Frontpage and another program, and I gotta thin the html that Frontpage translates because it makes everything extraordinarily huge and big! If I didn't scan through it and delete unnecesary files, each page would take 5 minutes to open! You'll thank me!

 

[TerranMarine]

I'd love to join, i cant make my own triggers (yet) but i can do most everything else.

U ltimate
M ap
S yndrome ????????

 

[CerebralChain]

If you need anymore members, i can join. I can pretty much do most o the triggers, make terrain, etc. etc. I have absolutley NO skill with HTML. Well, i know how to make a website, but i don't know HTML.

 

[SirBryan435]

Ok, I think that I've gotten enough replies that I can start putting this plan into action!

Anyone that wants to join, come to channel fun (on USA-East) at 8:00 p.m. any day until I say otherwise. You only need come to one of these meetings, but more than one would be appreciated! Even if you have NO prior knowledge of any triggers or anything, feel free to come!

 

[Crookedfoot]

I would agree, three pages should be enough input.

Hope the forums were helpfull.

 

[Raynor35]

well Sir Brian, i could probably use something like that, too, but yea, it needs a new name.

 

[SirBryan435]

Ok, it seems now that I'm organizing meetings, I'm getting LESS replies!

Anyone that wants to join, just IM me anytime!

p.s. The 8:00 meetings are still in effect!

 

[Vindexus]

i can't make the meetings, but i'd like to join. You should seriously consider the www.avidgamers.com website somebody posted earlier. I have used it for clans in other games and it works excellently. It has forums so you don't have to have meetings.

 

[SirBryan435]

Sorry to all of u that came to channel Fun and I wasn't there. My computer crashed killing everything, and it still wont be fixed for a while, so don't expect me at any meetings for a while. You can still email me or contact me via AIM, and I will reply as soon as possible!
