I think it will be quite handy for modders like me to have for example a test map to test, character animations (bots), physics(bots), textures, etc.

For me it will spare me so much time for just loading a very small map and then kinda instantly see the effect I need to see.
And not having to load a (large) multiplayer game and spectate/join the game to see the effect of my work (in progress).

And it will probably not cost much time for someone how knows how to make maps to make this "test" map.


For example:

Make some kind of shooting range but then make sure you can put bots or npc's in it and they can't run around that much (saves time while shooting at it for example)

And put some walls in it and some small hills.

This will be very usefull for physics testing and playerskins!
Also there can be put other models into for other uses.

So if you want to help me (speed up my work) then you can do this for me and other modders!

Go find a simple tutorial on basic mapping and make your own :)

Or if that's too much of a stretch, most tutorials have an example map. Just download that.

Well if you know how it all works they you can say it don't takes much time, but why not let mappers make this for example and let me do the other modding stuff.

This way we help eachother out.
This map would be for use to other modders out there also.

I hope there's someone who knows what I'm talking about.

a "modder" should probably learn how to make a map. if youre gonna be spending hundreds of hours to make a mod, whats a couple more for a simple map?

Yes if there is nobody who can help me out with this and don't understand that I'm here to make like all stuff for the public and spending all my free time for them and don't want to do anything in return, then don't bother.

In the end when I really need a map I WILL make it.

well, its not that anybody doesnt want to help.... i just imagine most people are busy with their own projects and stuff.... if you want a simple test map, why not just use orange fight arena or something eh?
