New mapper :)

[Noxsia]

Hello,
I've really never mapped before, Just modified abit, but I decided to do a training spot to my server, and I want you guys to tell me what I can do better. Also tell me whats bad on the map and good would be awesome too

Here is the map part:

What can I do to make it better ? Is it good ? Any suggestions what to do ? Please help me

Kind regards

As a training area goes it ok, its rather plain if you want more constructive criticism then try mapping something with abit more detail. like a hunting ground, camp, tomb or something along those lines..
it doesnt realy matter what a training ground looks like.
Not unless your going for a theme throughout the whole server...
But its ok for a first time mapper...
good luck with any new ideas.

Thank you, I will try to do a spawn or something, I will actually start now. You're actually currect, there is no speciall look for a training ground, but its always a start

 

[Smoking Menace]

Good Luck..
Look forward to seeing what you can do

Not bad for a neat start. but you have to train always and forever to have a name in mapping.

Thank you guys Yes I will train alot, though I never attended to be a famous mapper, I do it for fun Anyway, You'll see a tomb soon

Something I made kinda quick, what do you guys think about the sand in the mountains ?

Add some sand on the floor

 

[Noxsia]

I'll try that ok

 

[Eloh]

I'll try that ok

To make it a bit realistic

With sand it looks like this:

With sand it looks like this:

That's to squary..

 

[Noxsia]

[Noxsia]

This im happy with, seems realistic and the sand it not too squary Or what you guys say ?

You should put more time on your maps else you'll get nowhere.

 

[Noxsia]

Well, I could put 10 hours on the map and I would still have some faults, Did you see any specific wrong ? Any critism from the map ? Please tell me

Its a good start..
Stop giving the guy grief hes just started mapping.
the problem with the sand is its bunched together to much,
try putting just like 1 or 2 squares in certain places and blend it in with the floor, so more like spilt sand rather than sand thats meant to be there.
also try putting some dead skeletons around the place or some vampire corpse's to give it a theme.
just a suggestion - use the coffin that has stairs inside and allow there to be another room undernieth.
but its a good try keep going m8 ull get the hang of it
