hi everyone

i want to make new map but i want to ask about things like

1- do i need any programmer skills to make this map ?

2- can i use 3D studio max to make the model in the map ?

3- is there is any site help on texture ?

thanks all and best regrad

My suggestion would be to read tutorials on this site, and many others to get a handle on what is involved. Then come back and ask questions on what you dont understand or what you need further advice on.

You can use the search function on the top of the page to also help find certain topics which you desire information on.

Good luck and welcome to the world of Mohaa mapping

Its best not to jump into the map you want to make. It's great to design the level of your dreams on notebook paper first so your ideas don't fade. But in the meanwhile, practice using radiant. Read the tutorials and practice doing those... Once you get the swing of things and know that you are doing stuff right, Get back to that dream level! .. Good luck!

lol, none of those guys actually answered ur questions .but they gave u great tips though

1-no,u dont need scripting(programming) knowlege 2 make a map ,although if u know some u could make alot more neat stuff in ur map ,u can also learn scripting which from alot of tuts out there.or u can copy paste script from alot of other tuts 2,with minor alterations ofcourse.

2-yes,u can use 3dstudio 2 make models i think but u have 2 convert it into the mohaa format with other programs ,i think there was a program that exports into that format but i can remember it.u also need 2 do a little scripting i think beside that.

3-there are alot of tuts about how 2 texture and stuff .there are also a few other sites that have textures u can dload 2 put in ur map .some of them must have shaders (more scripting)

imo,i dont think u should jump into everything all at once ,i mean scripting,modelling ,mapping and texturing all at once.like cheetos said,get a good feel of mohradient and practice the making the stuff in the tuts 1st ,once u got a good grasp on things u should start building the map while learning a bit of scripting 2 help u along as u go ,not very necessary but it helps u do neat stuff 2 ur map ,but u can always ask here(i dont know much scripting either) . making models is abit harder though ,i dont think u should do some 4 ur map unless u know how 2 from the start.check out the tuts section cause they have alot of great tuts,and the links section has alot of other links 2 mapping sites which also host alot of tuts 2 .i dont think there is something in mohaa that doesnt have a tut
