Hey guys! We’re finally ready to start making maps for T.I.P. I think I already have a lead map maker in mind, if he ever gets the hang of GtkRadiant. Anyways, as you’ve probably noticed, we have very few maps, actually, we only have one (Girl Scream), and it’s apparently time we start making more!
“Oh no, make more! I suck at modeling! Its probably too complicated for my stupid brain!” WRONG!, mapping is pretty simple. You just have to have a lot of imagination and drive, or whatever it’s called, percistance, perceiverance, yeah that, ugh, whatever. Anyways, I added 16 links to mapping tutorials in the Links page, under Quake 3 Map Sites. Yes, anything that uses the Quake 3 engine is pretty much related to T.I.P. I personally love Rich Diesel’s Mapping University. It’s like my home there, I grew up with it. I think I was about 13 or 12 (Hah, I’m all acting like I’m alot older now), and I’d go on and read through the pages to learn how to make maps, it was before I had DSL so I had to play with bots by myself, so I remember that one summer I’d pump up the volume on the radio and just map away. Rich Diesel’s tutorials are directed at Jedi Outcast, though the basics should still apply.
Have fun mapping guys! If you have a creation you’d like to show us, go ahead and post about it in the forum, then we could probably even put it in the main T.I.P. game! Read this for instructions on making GtkRadiant work with T.I.P.
