hello ,
i´m trying to make a map, when i see some classic maps like pier, deepcanyon, riot,etc. they are awesome!, but their sequels totally sux, i mean they should be better. These maps starts with a solid idea that lost for try to make maps more bigger and less confortable to play

i just wandering if posible to remake or continue the idea of the series, make a teamjungle3 for example, i have some good ideas, some stuff that aren´t see before

i don`t know how works this and where contact with the creators for his permission.....

i think the game has not demostrates his 100% yet and aq2 needs a refresh!

thanks!
sorry for my bad enrglish

In most cases its not possible to get in contact with the authur.
I dont think they care if you make a sequal as long as you give them credit in the mapdocs.
Honestly if they bitch about it they should get a life... aq2 is 12 years old and if someone actually make new maps to keep it alive he should get the credit.

Its not like you steal their design, you just progress the idea.

ok i understand, em i have problems to found the arghard3, or wherever its name.

Well i only work on QuarK because the interface is easy to me, is not much a stable program but i gonna try

Ive been thinking of picking up aq2 mapping again. Well i will not do a sequal like you are planning, im gonna make a whole new map.
I got some ideas for a city/urbanic map with influences from my neighbourhood.
But then i dont know how "hot" i am with gtkradiant nowdays, but im sure most of it will come back when i start working with it.

One major thing though, i dont have aq2 installed on my computer

hahaha good luck on it!
a new location never seen before will be killer, there are too many city maps
but if you have a new idea...... yeah!

im planning some ports...... But the only thing that stopped me are the textures!

yea good idea.

maby we should make a tutorial form so people can share there ideas..

new jungle maps are welkom

try copying cod4 maps to aq2 ^^

I agree. Those are some classic and cool maps and their sequels do suck. But I am not sure why it matters. All maps can't be good and most maps (especially new ones) won't be played. There are already so many good maps and if there is a new map, it really has to be damn good to be worth uploading and stay on the servers.

In some cases the mapmaker is just eager to test something new or just build a silly large map for the sake of it. It's fun to create a map, so if the map isn't played due to sucky gameplay it's okey.. since it was that much fun creating it. Some people like to just run around in maps and some maps are designed with deathmatch in mind instead of teamplay.

And I don't like the idea to create a sequel if you aren't the author. At least get permission and have a conversation with the mapmaker before doing such a project. There are already sequels released that are not from the author itself. And a lot of maps are a copy/paste of another mapmakers work. Makes me sick.

I would love to see new maps. But don't copy/paste, ride on a famous title from existing map.. Just make an awesome map and let it speak for itself.

thanks you wizard master, you give me some inspiration.

and i hope you return to make kickass maps!

One thing is sure, "map time" command FTW.

Love that map. Gratz Wizardext +.+
