O hai. I guess I can introduce myself here. My name is svl dawn. Do not ask me where my name came from, I have absolutely no idea. But hey, it sounds cool, right? Anyway, I came to ForgeHub after messing around in the Forge and wondering how people made those insane maps with everything floating around and stuck in map geometry. So I YouTubed (It's a verb now?) some tutorials and came upon the guides for tricks. I watched those obsessively and eventually found myself lurking among the darker corners of the Hub, just watching, DL'ing, waiting. After I hit the map limit for custom content about twice, I decided it would be cool to try it, instead of just watching. After a few more failed attempts at something of a D-Day map, I came off from Forge for awhile. I kept looking at ForgeHub, just wondering when it would be my day to shine. I finally joined a couple days ago and am back in the Forge a healthy amount, actually working on some semi-sensible map. tl;dr*: I messed around in Forge, left, came back and joined ForgeHub. I might be submitting a map soon, but I need to find a good guide on weapon balancing and spawn placement first. I know there's a spawn placement guide here, but I can't find a weapon guide. Help would be much appreciated. *I am a frequent user of Internet memes. Keep calm and carry on.
Wul hai thar svl dawn! Welcome to 4chub. Make sure you follow the rules, and you'll do fine here. I'm not sure of any specific guide on spawn placement, but I'm sure someone else will come along and help out.
'Sup, bro. As long as you don't force them into every little thing you do (fat idiots saying "She said!" to everything they hear), I guess you're okay.
Weapons are pretty easy..follow bungles model. Centralized power weapons, balanced weapons (symmetrical snipers or shottys) and more common weapons in higher traffic areas. You can also check out some of the featured maps for good ideas. Welcome to forgehub.
I figured the central power weapons would probably be a good choice. But I can't decide. See, my brother and I were forging, and I had rockets in the middle. He suggested that we put in a banshee for each team. Then, he said each team should have a laser, too. Isn't two lasers plus rockets plus normal weapons plus banshee equaling my map drowning among cries of "OMG OP!!!!"? Should the laser be in the middle? I wanted to have rockets as a footman-dominating power weapon. And no, I don't cram them into everything I do or say. Only your m- never mind. (JK!)
