That's Small Ice Cave Good? Bad? Terrible?

 

[Tovar]

Awful, you need + creativity.

 

[Creon]

Find a new hobby or check out some Mapping tutorials

 

[Cornex]

That is so small, you wont learn anything by making 30x30 SQM maps.
Try make something bigger, look some other map threads to get some inspiration and so on.

 

[Peroxide]

Use Raw more often, look at the most popular threads (ignore the stickied ones, though you may find some nice pieces in the stickied Quick showoff).

 

[Darkressxx1]

Find something that inspires you, look at other threads, most do not copy the maps, my recommendation is to look at the maps and use the best ideas from them, and make a mix. Use "RAW", and removes the auto-border.
As Peroxide says, look at the most popular.

You can not forget to visit these threads:
Creativity - Post your mapping ideas
Mapping Inspiration
How to take Ingame screenshots properly
Quick Showoff - Post your latest maps
Official's OtLand Mapping Contest's Results «Take a look at the pieces that won the competition depending on which month

These are good mappers:
Darklord Mapping Works
Neon's latest mapping works! «Retired from the showoff, you can find it at:Quick Showoff - Post your latest maps»
Peroxide's Mapping Thread
Magnetico's Latest Mapping!
Macedoon's grandcorner
Decrik's Mapping Thread
Siramix HappyBox
Beto06 Mapping Thread
Of course I'm the best ... in my mind, so you can find my Showoff in my signature.

PS: good luck,and sorry for my english

RAW:

Autoborder:

Everyone is more or less crap at the start of anything, just keep going and you'll improve. Check some other works and analyze them, biggest mistake is usually making paths way too wide or buildings huge. Using auto-border can be of great help for making a quick outline kind of, but it should not be used when going for the "final product". It's gonna force you to make paths in a certain way, making it look unnatural. Take your prior work and turn off the auto-border, then start moving things around in RAW mode and you'll notice the difference.

[Cvelzquez]

Man you need more creativity, It looks very square.

 

[TaktikdaNub]

I do not like it when there are lots of teleports, but that's my opinion.
The training room should be smaller.
Plus I agree with Cvelzquez that looks very square..
Keep going!
Sincerly,
Taktik

Put in some more detail.

 

[Peroxide]

it's absolutely painful watching ghostx/neon stream, they could map 5x faster and have basically the same outcome if they didn't use raw

We map fast enough with Raw that we get decent progress done for whatever we're working on, ensuring it still looks good and it tends to have a lot less bugs when done Raw.

@25193323; I wish you had a better username, but I'm surprised no one has told you to save images as .png and upload them to http://www.imgland.net/
then copy the "BBCode with link (message boards)" and use that in the thread rather than uploading/attatching them.

 

[GhostX]

+ you have freedom of creation. Which is why a lot of us become mappers anyway. Not to rush a shit job.

 

[Neon]

Zithium probably doesn't even know what Auto Border is. Probably never opened Map Editor ever.

 

[Peroxide]

Well either way I think this discussion is over, Zithium if you want to talk more about it then message Neon, GhostX or I

 

[25193323]

First I Would Thank Peroxide,Neon,Ghostx It's My Pleasure That I Hear That From You.
Second I Would Ask I Can Be Good Mapper?

Yes?
No?
Why?


Thankyou,
Cheers.

Just take your time compare it with a good mapper and see what not looks good, get inspirated, take the time you need. We are not leaving soon.
