Although I would be really honoured to help and have great admiration of your work at big maps, but you really don't want too see few maps of my modding tries :umbrella:
I'm much better in fixing mapeditor bugs so better to stick with that :type:

Yeah, people like to eat the fruits but not to foster the trees. And if the fruits are not perfect they complain too...

hell... i really wish to help but don't know absoulutely nothing about progamming and ja2 ma editing :yikes: :badnews:

For potential starters, are on bear's pit some tutorials to get started, at least?

Hi Folks,

as some of you might know, I am currently filling in for smeagol, regarding the mapping for AIMNAS BigMaps.
I am making progress, but not as fast as I'd like to, so I'd need some support from the community, to get this show on the road.

What I am looking for in a Mapper:
-Experienced with the JA2 Mapeditor of course
-Dedication, although it would be a lot of help if I had a few maps less to do myself, I don't want to be looking for new Mappers every week.
-Imagination, I want realistic, believable maps
-Any other Ability, Experiences or Backgrounds, that'll assist you in making good maps

Important features about BigMaps:
-360x360 instead of 160x160 (hence the name BIGMaps )
-realistic, believable Structures
-Continuity of the maps, for example: If you have a street leading from E1 to E2 and you take overview pictures and merge them, it should look like one big map.

[color:#FF0000]IMPORTANT: When you're mapping for BigMaps, it is of the utmost importance to use the AIMNAS BigMaps Tilesets, or else the maps won't be compatible![/color]

If you think you have what it takes to make maps for BigMaps, drop me a line, preferably you can show me some of your earlier work and I'll give you call back.

For checking on the current WIP status

Thank you for your time
