10 Rules for Beginner Mapmakers

You are wrong, Alicia! And if a person is skilled and smart, then he will immediately create something worthwhile and interesting – people will definitely want to see it! And you suggest that after 5 years – when everyone is completely tired of the game – a map appears?!!! People won't even look at it, and the guy will be very upset!:cool:
As for unplayable maps, it’s simple – delete them or don’t upload them in advance!

A person can be 250 times smarter, more skillful, good, hardworking, and creative, but still create bad maps. We don’t need that! Will they get bored? Well, maybe people thought the same way back in 2002… Sigh, think deeper! Also, don’t read superficially; if I write 5 years (or 7), I mean that the person has been playing the game for a long time and has been creating maps for many years, and has already learned how to make them properly. And if a person is just starting to understand now, then he still has a lot of work to do! For example, take a look at the Harbinger maps, and maybe you will understand what I am talking about...I don't want to offend him, but this is exactly the kind of mediocre maps I was talking about. I haven't played them, but one glance in the editor is enough. So, Harbinger still needs to improve. I wish you every success in creation. I also strongly advise you to follow this link; there is a lot of useful information for you. /topic/972/
Unplayable maps... Not all maps from the editor look unplayable. That's why it's better to download and delete them. It would be better to prohibit making obviously bad maps!
