That map took me 1 and a half weeks to build. 12+ hours a day, 100+ hours invested. I would draw out my ideas on a piece of paper before building it. I would wake up, build build build till I would nearly fall asleep at my desk. I would dream about building this map. I would make sure there was nothing around to distract me while building. Exo, I'm glad my map inspired you to build a new map. I never expected it would create some inspiration. Exo, good luck with your creation, keep us updated. Ill be on the look out for your new creation |

Some good looking work there Assassin... you're a bit like me... I've made tons of things in RED but nothing gets released until I am 100% happy with it... So many people churn out badly made map after badly made map...
Never release your first map!!! Use your first experiences in RED to learn the editor. Keep building different things and then disguard them, don't upload them for us to waste our time with
That's my philosophy anyways... Many don't agree with me I know that but you won't change me |

Thanks MF. Egypt was really my first map created. I remember I was so excited to show it to my buddys. Now I look at it and Im like OMG! WHAT WAS I THINKING! lol But, just like you said. Ive made tons of maps but all of them I end up deleting cus they sucked. I started to get good with RED when I learned how to open other ppls rfl files to take a look and see "how did they do that". New ppl can learn a lot by looking at other mapper's .rfl files. |

yes me too, my first map was just a whole bunch of boxes with skybox textures all over 1 spawn point, and tons of fusions and amps and invunerabliitys all together the map was about 50X40X5 and it had 4 fusions |

Hehe, I've started it and began to texture it... but I really don't have much done. I'll post some screenshots when I get some more made. For now I'm making some other fun maps... my next one should be ready by tomorrow I'm just adding the finished touches like err... lighting and stuff |
Back in RF... getting back into the swing of things! |

That's the T3 HUD... it's on the site. As for the pistol, I dunno. It may be part of the HUD, but could be a totally different file. |

Yeah that pistol is part of the *T3* Clan HUD, and you need a bigger monitor and a higher resolution or it takes up half the screen like on that screenie |
