Maybe you should learn Mapster32 as a start?
Level making isn't anything but practice,practice,practice..... ;)

Besides that; It would be some work getting all the permissions from various authors if you are going to use bits and chunks from several maps.
Can't you see I'm easily bothered by persistence
One step from lashing out at you...
You want in to get under my skin
And call yourself a friend
I've got more friends like you
What do I do?

I read up on mapster32 for a few months so I had a bit of a concept of what to expect before I even opened the program. Nothing wrong with diving in feet first because that's the only way to learn anyway.

You want ideas? Try this: Get up and walk out your front door. Stop. Look around. NO, really look around. Pick a direction, any direction, and start walking. Get out of site of your home. Stop. Look around. NO, really look around. Repeat.

I'm sure you don't get it. Go outside your house and open your eyes and actually look at everything in your neighborhood, in your surrounding community, in your town, and try to picture in your mind making everything you see with mapster.

Or you could copy your favourite movie.
I did with my latest release. Nostromo  ( Alien 1).

Quite interesting to do the research and planning before even touching Mapster32... :P

It takes a while for me to come up with an idea. If I have no inspiration (This may sound strange but it works for me  ;D) I sit down and listen to music for like 15 minutes (Nirvana, Alice In Chains and I usually get an idea for a creepy map) Or I make a map based on a house I have designed, either way works for me. A day at the footy gives me ideas aswell. I have created tonnes of stadium maps lol.

I just found out that there is another account on that IP adress;

ToTheLimitSaga is also on it.

This is not allowed!

You can only be active on one account.

If you take no action by deleting two accounts right away further actions will be taken...

Sorry. I have a brother, lives with me. I have asked him to delete one. I am seriously not joking as well. Why would I want two anyway lol. It will go by tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience.  ;)

Okay. Maybe you have a brother or maybe you just have a multiple personality but it looks like you have deleted the two oldest accounts by yourself.
So it's allright with me now.

On a forum we have to trust people when someone reveal things about themselves so if a person acts like he is someone else it's not fair to the other members.
That's why there's always that rule on forums...

Now work further on your episode and show us what you made!
