What was your first map/mod?

Post by Noobasaurus »

What was your first map/mod? No, not the first ever map you made with a few mountains and randomly placed objects. I'm talking about the idea that popped into your head and you began to work to make it amazing...but it usually doesn't end that way if it's your first.

My first map was called "Islands." Oh, it was so cool. There was a huge crater with a bridge in the middle and a Yavin temple on one side and some trees on the other side. It even had water! And I actually started to make a WIP for it but then it started crashing so I gave up(not after a long struggle). WIP is below.
Hidden/Spoiler:
This is a first map that has 3 islands, 20 speeders, and 5 cps. This map is near complete (85%) and will soon be released once I get 1 problem solved. It has the big island, which has 7 speeders spawn at each cp there. There are two cps there; one on one side one on the other. The speeders are for CW only, so please keep that in mind. There is the 2nd island which has a yavin bridge running across the crater. (It was a volcano then erupted) On one side there are 3 speeder spawnings, and on the other side are the same, except with a big yavin temple and two smaller ones. The last island is one on one of the far edges of the map with 1 neutral cp and no speeder spawns.(I dont know how to make them spawn at a white cp)

Things I need to finish:
1. Loading Screen
2. Maybe more vehicles
3. Probably some speeders for GCW
4. Tunnels, possibly?
5. Maybe custom skins & weapons.

(This has no screenshots because I dont have a program that takes them.)
Yes, that one problem is the crash...

The park in my neighborhood is what inspired me to start developing custom content for SWBF2.

A Geonosis map where I tried my best to model everything around the movie. It was going pretty well for a first map until AI stopped spawning. (or maybe they were spawning under the terrain and my noobishness didn't think of that)

I figure I'll copy Wulf here.

this Which became THIS

The first time a figured out how to place objects in ZE, I made a hill, and added a couple pipes. I put a bridge in-between them, and it looked kinda cool. I realized that was the only intersting part of my map, so I made a new map following just that theme. It still looked kinda...meh, but I was pretty dang proud a new modder. I submitted it to SWBFFiles, got a solid, helpful review from Mav, and from that point, I decided to learn more about modding. I discovered GT and read a ton of tutorials and understood about half of them. Then I made the next iteration.

my first mod i made was a few simple odf edits that i made for a few friends and i to play. it was called mega weapons mod and never got past beta. it was pretty fun as long as someone wasn't being a jerk and just standing at the spawn point with the incenerator for 2 hours. the mod is on filefront.

my first map i just released awhile ago and its called mountain maddness. you can find it in the released mods/maps section if you want to see it.

...and keeping up the trend -

This Bespin: Escape 2.0 for BF1 turned in to this Bespin: Escape 3.5 Final(BF2)

...and although that version was released as final I'm still working on it. George would be proud :shock:

My first map was the conversion of Yavin 4: Arena which turned into this.

I know what you mean... you should never release a final, because you always find something new to add.

Tatooine: Suburb Fight (I now know it's horrible name, now that I know more about English), which Sky_216 turned into Ellera Prime for his Last Days mod.
