I Love It..

Gotta say, I love NS. Been playing for a little while now and was starting to think about giving a little back and learning something in the process. Now, I would love to start doing a few maps and stuff (I know maybe this should be in the maps forum, but it says no n00bs!)

*ahem* , anyway I know all about Hammer and worldcraft etc, but I would just like to ask what the best programs to use for creating these worlds, like do people prefer photoshop to do the textures? I really don't wanna use MS paint? What are the other options available? Any funky free ones available?

I really wanna start making some fun stuff, even if it's just a burst pipe or something, but I just don't know where to start really!

Help!

    Cheers. Little bit miffed tho, as the BC file does the "this page cannot be found" bah.

    Seems a real good community on the forums for this game, but when I play public I keep getting mic spammed.

    What makes you think you can't post in the mapping forum because you're a "nub"?

    To get rid of the spammers noice permanently, mute them:

    Press and hold TAB, and left mouse button click the speaker icon next to their Latency...

    That's nice Zaggy....

    Anyway, we're all pretty welcoming in the mapping forums, and there's already a good couple hundred textures already made for nsmapping. Ns.wad and ns2.wad in your /nsp folder.

    All you have to do is put em together. Read up on some of the tutorials for NS mapping in the FAQ in that forum.

    If you don't want to buy Photoshop or Elements, go with The Gimp. Free, cheap, and powerful.

    the gimp? why do I get a funny feeling I will find all sorts of stuff if I google search that eh? <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> Anyway, I'm pretty sure I read somewhere on the map forum that if you're inexperienced you were to read everything THEN ask.. and to be honest there's a massive amount to read. good stuff really.
