Over the past few days, I have been trying to learn how to map. I haven't had any trouble in puting in sprites, map models, or creating buildings. The problem that I am having is that I can't seem the make the actual shape of the map. I know this sounds sorta dumb, but I just can't do it. So, I was just wondering if some one would just make me a HUGE blank box in WorldCraft and send me the .map file. I dont need textures or anything. I already know how to make terrain, so dont bother putting terrain in it. I just need a totally blank box thats already lit. I want it to be a day time map. And already has a skybox. Any skybox thats daytime will do. The reason I want this, is because if I had this, I could just worry about making a killer map, rather than having to learn all this stuff. I know someone here can help me out. I don't think it would take very long for an experianced mapper to do this. Thanks alot guys.

Sorry ... but a HUGE blank box is not the way to map.

You fill that box up and then you have trouble with r_speeds and stuff.

Take a look at my webby ... I have a few rmf/map files for you to downlaod and look at. Also Rozdower has posted a couple of rmf files to download, dod_alostbu looks like a complete map.

WOW! You site and maps look killer good.:) I was wondering, if I delete all the buildings out of one to make my own map, would you be mad? Please allow me to do this. Of course i'll give you credit and all.:)

The maps are there to do what you like with ... :)

I would take a look at Rozdower's as well, his are more complicated and dod_alostbu is a good example of how to create a good sky box :)
