New (old) mapper on the scene

[Tafkat]

Hi everybody!

 

I'm an old-timer on the JKA mapping/modding scene, that worked on a lot of different stuff over the years, but sadly never released more than a single duel map, mostly because my ambitions were too high - all the projects I ever worked on (aside from the duel map) were full-scale total conversion single player experiences, where my cousin and I would plan out a grand plot, and gameplay spanning across upwards of a dozen huge maps, then finish about 50% of a single one, and quit it for something new 

 

Anyway, I recently decided to fire up GTKRadiant once more, and dabble in a bit of mapping, just to kill time as I had a few sick-days that kept me home. I honestly figured the community would be completely dead by now, when, lo and behold, I stumbled across this site! So great to see that there are still people out there fighting the good fight!    Thus, I began to think about working on an old singeplayer mod idea I had, but just keep it to a single map for now, in hopes that I may actually finish it one day. Sure, this day is months away at best, and knowing my crazy ambitions, might not ever see the light of day, since I also have a job and a career to think about. But I'm gonna' give it my best regardless!

 

My problem now, is that I haven't done this for roughly ten years, so I'm pretty much a rookie once again in all aspects. I remember most of the basics of the actual mapping part, but everything else is a fuzzy memory at best. So expect to see my name around here a lot.

 

Also, forgive me for rambling on a bit. I'm still on some pretty heavy duty painkillers at the moment! But I'm just thrilled to be here
