    Base maps to edit/customise rather than start from scratch

    For people who are:
    a) New to creating maps; &
    b) don't have time to start from complete scratch to build one

    are there any basic maps (i.e. with terrain and basic buildings already on) that are available to customise with loadouts, enemies and as required the layout features?

    If so, where do you get them from?

    If such a concept is heresy & doesn't exist, are there any mappers who are open to ideas - I have a design in my mind with building layouts, custom load outs with certain themes to them, etc and if I can't put it together would like someone else to and put it up for people to play.

    I have dabbled with the editor but realise I don't have the time to do my idea justice from scratch!

    When creating a new map in the editor, instead of starting with an EMPTY MAP, choose the terrain you want to have pre-generated for you.

    Then you can focus on putting in the gameplay objects without having to do a lot of terrain work.

    Which as the person doing most of the groundwork would only be fair.

    Adding the terrain is straightforward having looked, but buildings walls tunnels, grapple points, etc...... Happy to give the idea for someone else to create and take the recognition for the hard work part of it!

    Good mapping takes a lot of time. If you don’t have it then don’t do it and leave it to the people who do. If you do want to do it you will make the time. Your creation doesn’t have to be released immediately or ever. The pre maid terrains kinda suck. I would suggest if you find a half finished map you like or something contact the creator and ask them if you can use their map template to make an alteration or all new map from.
