Ryce submitted a new map: Ye Ole Warfare - When warfare goes back in time..... Read more about this map... --- Double Post Merged, Jul 6, 2017 --- This is my most recent map build and I wanted to share it with other Halo enthusiasts. If anyone has any suggestions or critics then i am open to hearing them.
it's good to make a forge map on your own without just placing prefabs. I understand that some people can't make stuff from scratch, but you should give credit to the creators of the prefabs. It's a nice little town you made, but you only used prefabs and it was a bit sad to see no original work. Thanks for uploading to Forgehub, but next time please trust yourself to be able to make your own stuff. Spoiler: prefabs used in this map Noble Forger -Medieval Blacksmith -Small Medieval House -Medieval House -Medieval House(2) -Medieval Chest GreyMuffinBass -Crackling Camp Fire -Cellar Door -Small Cart -Horse Carriage -Blacksmith's Anvil DarkNitrous2487 -Old Tree Arpod -Old Wood Bridge
@GreyMuffinBass, I wanted to thank you for your advice. I realize that i need to show credit where credit is due so thank you for that, but i didn't know it was bad to use the tools at my disposal.
I didn't say it was bad, I just hope people build things they want to. This is a big controversial topic since prefabs were introduced, so don't feel so bad about using your 'tools' It's just a good practice to use prefabs as fillers for your levels instead of the meat and potatoes of your dish. I mean, don't use prefabs as the main part of your maps. Thanks for seeing the importance in giving credit, because the builders put time and effort into their prefabs. Don't take my words badly, I am just trying to give you support, to have the confidence in yourself to build something by yourself
@GreyMuffinBass, Thank you for your honesty and frankness. Nothing is more important than that and thank you for the encouragement as well. I am fairly new to forge and want to be better while prefabs were a way to make it easier, hopefully the more maps I make the more times I can lean on my ideas not others.
For me,@Ryce it's not the end of the world to use prefabs, it's just how you use them. If the person put the stuff out there to be used, then my all means use it. The real trick is making sure you're own creativeness isn't lost in the process. It's all a learning process, those people that made the prefabs had to start somewhere too man, no biggie. Oh and yeah, credit where credit is due. (P.S. We need more screenshots homie ) (P.S.S welcome to the site!)
@Ascend Hyperion, Thank you for another opinion on the matter. I welcome feedback, negative or positive, both in turn to ultimately better my skills. And would that credit go under Co Forged or somewhere else?
Nah, they didnt really help you Forge the map. I would just mention it in the description. Maybe link the prefab.
