Im seb, gt is sebc123. quite frankly i hadn't even clicked on the forge option untill last week with any intention of spending any time doing anything let alone creating something. As of last week i played a few custom games on badly forged maps with friends, a couple were quite odd and most pretty bad.. but im talking about maps made by people that think forge is only for blocking off doorways and spawning multiple rocket launchers. Yesterday with some friends i had a lot of fun trying out forging on the grifball map, each friend making a base in one of the corners. It started with a couple of crates and then got slightly more advanced trying to think of ways to keep everyone else out but allow yourself to get in. Well i guess i made my first forge map yesterday, basically spawning rediculous amounts of explosive barrels everywhere and adding grav lifts to get to the top centre of guardian (i even learned how to rotate an object by holding down the triggers instead of just bashing it against stuff in futile attempts at twisting it) Obviously it also contained lots of fire grenades and a plasma cannon - as being a matchmaking ***** i have rarely used either of them. I guess we all have to start somewhere. Today i found all of your noob guides on youtube. They were pretty damn helpfull to me so thanks for whoever made those, except eager to learn more the videos stopped at 8. And here i am, having read the 101 and checked out most of your featured maps i decided to register in order to meet a few of you and pick up some tips. My first idea was an indiana jones style course full of traps and tricks but i guess you can only play that once or twice and for the time required i've decided against it. Im now determined to make a half decent zombies map and have big plans; i want drop down doors to shut behind you (im guessing you can do this by shooting fusion coils and releasing the door) timed zombie releases, proper spawns and an addictive game. Undecided on the map and looking for help / advice. Ohh and i guess i should say hello! -Seb
thanks, i wasn't sure if its too long do you have any idea of any type of space (im sure i can utilize it) thats dark on the old maps.... I've heard/seen videos about glitching under snowbound and that looks really nice and dark etc, but im unsure if you could actually build anything there?
All I can think of for the old maps, is under Epitaph, or Guardian is quite dark. But you can build things most places, just make sure you learn all the 101 tips first. But out of the new maps, Blackout is very spacey.
Under epitaph? Sounds like a plan, im sure ill contact you ingame later when i get on. Thanks for your advice
