I've recently found Source SDK as a fun way to make maps. I get really bored makin them though. I have looked on such websites as fpsbannana and was whondering where these people get their maps tested? or do they get it tested at that website? well anyways, to my point. I wanna start testing maps :laugh:. If you got a map, ill be more that happy to test for you. Just post link here.

Usually creating your own dedicated server which you can do for free is the way people get them tested, other ways usually involve purchased/hosted servers.

However, it depends on who you ask. I know from experience that testing maps can be fun at first, but sometimes the mapper can't take constructive criticism then it makes it seem like a chore. But it's always good to hear that someone is interested in it. Also just briefly, why are you getting bored of making them if you don't mind me asking?

If you are stuck for ideas, I have got a ton that I have not got round to start yet. I could also give you some pointers if you are stuck. I know that's the most common cause of getting bored or frustrated.

Anyways. I will let you know if I want someone to try one of my maps, or if someone else has one that needs a once over.

Anyone else have any thoughts or ideas?


*Edit* I have also moved your thread to the customization section, I think it will get a better response from the right people in here.

hey man, yah im pretty much outta ideas. I kinda do feel frustrated, because i see the potential of my "empty canvas" as some would call it and get annoyed when i get somthing i didnt really want. =\ I also think im a better critic than most people. I can tell you what you possibly lack in the map. other than that, i could use some pointers, because. when i make things like, rounded corners, it just seems like a chore.
