Hi there, I'm HeBoy and after some years far from OT Servers, I'm back to try to map again. I know my english is terrible (and I'm too lazy to use google translator) and my mapping skills are even worse, but the main point of this thread is to ask for advices and tips from you guys with a gentle heart.

So if possible leave a kind note saying something like "hey man u suck cuz u cant do borders right" or more of a constructive criticism.

But enough of presentations. Here it's like a "Pirate Hideout" kind of thing that I'm trying to complete. The idea is to be like a small rocky island with a wooden harbor and some underground stuff, like tunnels and hidden treasures. I'm trying to mix between new items (like the Ab'dendriel wood walls and ground) and old stuff, but I'm not happy with the result I have so far... What can I do better?

AND YEAH, I used some of the tutorials of this forum to build the boat and the bridge, I still planning on change them a bit but IDK how yet. Any ideas? I never did a boat before.

The wooden borders are unwalkable. Means the boat is partly unaccesable and the cave cannot be enterred. Don't use those massive docks, I mostly use 5 sqm max. Also, the bridges between the docks and boats should not have railings. Just remove the dry dirt (third picture, upper right corner).

And the boat is pretty massive. The southern 'tower' is too large. I'd use a max. of 4 sqm vertical.

Anyway, good luck. Hope you didn't take it offensive and if you did, I don't give a shit eitherway.
