mapping

Hello there! I didn't really know where to put this but I'm searching for a mapper with good detailing skills for my new project, the project being an overhaul of the map cp_junction. My plan is to create cp_junction_event. Yes! Junction is the worst map in the game, but I'm also planning on...

For me it was just wanting to make something for TF2. Since I failed making 3D Models and since no one liked my War Paints I decided to just start mapping. Feel free to link to the stuff that you made before mapping or what inspired you to start doing it. My War Paints: Ballonyro...

Call me a 9-year-old, but I used to create a ton of half-finished games with Roblox Studio. It was incredibly easy to use and I picked up Lua pretty quickly. Ever since I started trying (and failing) to make maps with Hammer, I've wished there was some alternative so my lazy ass wouldn't have to...

Hello TF2Maps community! I've come to talk about some map ideas and see what you think of them. This thread will be for mapping Ideas of yours also! Have at it! Here's something I've been thinking about. What if I made a 5CP map where there were no forward spawns? Instead of forward...

Im a beginner trying to create maps and while trying to create a spawnroom i encountered a problem. I made a resupply locker, made the entity, associated it with a func_regenerate and compiled the map. The thing being that although it looks fine in hammer (its supposed to be aginst a wall), in...

OK, so, I wanted to make a map with a big scary turret thing that aims its big ol' energy beam shooty-mc-shoot gun at players as they come close. Ideally, I'd like it to be able to target the closest player as they become available, then shoot its beam of death at them. If a player breaks...

I'm curious how other mappers on this site plan out their maps. If an answer you want to put isn't on here, please! Feel free to comment down below!

An Overlay that shows that you Map with Pride! :;) :overlaytool: Note: The Overlay is quite Large inside Hammer!

So I am currently trying to modify a Slender Fortress map for some practice, but when I load the map up in TF2 I can't see further than a couple thousand hammer units, even with all of the fog commands that I know of modified. I need to be able to see the entire map at once, as it's very hard to...

Hi, im curious on what you like the most on Mapping! personally i like the Designing the most :entitytool: ;)

Im trying to browse through the boojum snarks library just like UEAKCrash did in his video where he showed it. but the props are all just different color boxes instead looking like props. Only when I get really close to them does the prop model show up. can someone please help me find a way to...

the map renders fine as but when i spawn in the timer for 'waiting for players' comes up and stars from 28 seconds which i know is normal. however, the game crashes when that timer hits 1 or 2 seconds left. i checked to see if it does it on any other map (such as ctf_2fort) but they all work...

It's been almost two years since I logged in last! Time flies when you're on the social rollercoaster that is life. Anyways! Hey there, everybody! How are you? I'm doing great. I recently just got a full-time job and had my first kid; a baby girl that turned two months old today! I'm actually...

Me and some other developers have been working on death run map with a Splatoon themed layout. Because we entered a more advanced stage in developing this specific map , we were thinking that we shold expand our little community by looking for more volunteers to test our map so we can have a...

I am planning in making a map but I cannot make players have only melee. How can I make that possible? I'd also like to know how to make the player able to pick up weapons around the map and how to spawn the weapon that can be picked up.

I’m really wondering what happened to the project. It looked great with all the weapons and maps

I'm fairly new to the whole mapping thing and am issue I come across a lot is that I don't know when I should use a prop and when i should use the brush tool to make my own. For example I am currently making a ctf map, and I wanted to put the intel on a desk, but i couldn't find a good desk to...

Hello everyone! I'm searching for a mapper with knowledge to help me and make a halloween map reskin for the scream-fortress event. I want to make this as much of a 50/50 projekt as possible, so I'm thinking that the person that decides to add me helps me to chose what map we are going to...
