To Ionizer.
Well, good too see that your will give another try.
The first time i get into Mapping was around 2007, i sucked whit that. I dindt know how to place a Vehicle etc. I gave up.
After reading tons.. and tons of new Maps coming to Project Reality, i said, "Wow! that feeling is back".
After trying to map for PR for 1 Hour, i gave up. They have RULES for mapping, Set Ticket Ammount to X, Do this and this and this and this too. Well, damn.
I said "Hmm, a nice Mix, WW2 + FH2 + Mapping = Fun!". I can have what I WANT. I want a Essen Map? Ask it to FH2! not for me, ill make it!
I wanna play a Cherbourg Map in Multiplayer, but the FH2 devs are not interested in Cherbourg, Ill make it!
For Example, i dont think if the Devs will make a Ruhr Pocket Map, but i will. Remember in FH1? when development was Closed? you always wanted a map? well, you can do it.
Thats the best part of Mapping.
And for the "Starting Map". Start whit something Light, like "Road to Tunis". You just make a few CP's, Controlled by the Axis, a Main Base whit the Tiger. Something that shows the Strenght of FH2.
Currently, i have 3 Maps on Work, Battle of the Camps, Battle Isle (Yes, remember it?) and MiG Alley (But thats for Battlefield Korea).
My Dream is, be a FH2 mapper. But sadly, my skills are not good as FH2's Mappers skills, i dont know how to make Statics (And honestly, i dont care
) and i dont have time.
About these who ask themselves "When this idiot is going to post a pic of his WiP map?" Well, soon.
Maybe Mapping for FH2 1.5 is not fun because its too limited, One front only, maybe two, but the real Fruit is in Normandy. It opens a Big, Awesome front for Mapping..but its also more hard.
Edit:
Also, if you dont have ANY ideas, try this.
See these Greek Islands? well, i made something fun but it was lost in a crash. Operation Abstention. The British raided an Island in the Mediterranean, under Italian Control. It was a very accurate island, the Brits had 2 Desoyers and the Italians Artillery etc. Damn fun.
