A ns mapping tutorial tips and tricks site?

doctopepa

<div class="IPBDescription">Is there one? no? let's start one!</div>I've been mapping for ns for a while, I've posted in the forums (apparently) and I've followed the readyroom news but i feel there is one thing missing to make the horrible wait for the big release as convenient as possible.

A homepage, entirely devoted to experienced ns mappers as well as newbies. A place to exange ns textures, map builds, effects, tutorials, sounds, mapping models and such.

Why not do this over the forums? you say.
Well, here the l33t mappers most important and educating words slowly sink into oblivion. I say handpick them and store them in categories for everyone to see.


I'd be glad to help creating this homepage. I have some graphics skills. Anyone interested?

Go for it!  I'm sure someone will step up to the plate and give you some coding help if you need it.

I try to incorperate the best, NS specific, advice into the quickstart guide on NS World.  Ns World is the perfect place for map trading/promotion. If anyone want's to make NS prefabs i'd be happy to add a page to NS World from which to download them.  Their are plenty of good HL mapping sites already.

This forum is good for specific occurances and gaugeing the tide of NS opinion and style.

I hear whispers that there is <i>at least</i> one NS specific mapping site in the pipline already...

doctopepa, as far as I know, tzarcon is creating a for the NS mapping community in general, a team both dedicated to mapping and helping other mappers. Tray and have a word with him if you are interested.

If you want a prefab website / page then what we need is some skinner. I know personally that prefabbing in WC is quite hard and also quite restrictive. I would be willing to make some model prefabs for mappers, but i require skinners <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

yeah!  We need something like countermap, but only natrualmap.  Kinda reminds me of good old Anarchy Design and that full scale one that I forgot the name of.  I know Relic was part of that, if he can remember...
