I am going through stage 3 of mapping. Keep cheering me up and I'll post the name and screens...
FH2 MAPPING PSYCHOLOGY:
=======================
Stage 1 ) Envy -
you saw Snoox's work, you saw Kettcars work and Zenos Montebourg station, and want in on that shit.
Stage 2 ) Acceptance -
you have accepted that you are going to make a map, and despite wasting 3 days putting every static onto a street to see what it looks like you are still going to make your "fgnnn-map". Oh, the editor crashed...
Stage 3 ) Apathy -
you open the map and don't know where to start, nothing looks interesting, so much to do, why am I doing this? You keep asking yoruself, why do I waste my time, will God punish me for mapping? Or is it just masturbation he doesn't like.
Stage 4 ) Re-birth -
you score some weed, suddenly the map looks awesome again and you spend 11 hours placing bunches of
flowers and empty food boxes all over the town(s)
Stage 5 ) Peep show -
you spend a few hours taking the best screenshots ever of your map to show the forumers, who rip your map apart for inaccuracies like a pack of rotweilers toying with a rabbit
Stage 6) Deflation -
your map sucks, it'll never be in any mod or minimod, but wait, there's still some weed left, and suddenly...
Stage 7 ) Pheonix Affirmation -
you're high on mapping again, or weed, ...or both... everything is coming together, moving whole towns
full of statics (a bit more west) is not so hard when you have enough biscuits
Stage 8 ) Deliverance -
you capsise your canoe, and hillbillies rape your tubby friend to the sound of banjos and squealing pigs... no wait, wrong forum, stage 8 - Deliverance, you hand your map back to the forumers all bandaged up and bionic looking, you've messed with the lighting to make the map look mean and moody like a murder mystery paperback cover, the first comment is posted on the forums woot!...
"it's a bit dark"
