I hope something good comes out of this, need more maps. You guys should do a better job of promoting this, I don't think many mappers know about it. Response I got when I linked this to someone I know that does some mapping about places to post.
" steam forums source sdk section, hl2world.com, interlopers.net, map-center.com, quake3world.com, tf2maps.net, cgsociety.org (more artisty) to name a few"
Also it says posted on the 31st but went up today, moved from another forum? Maybe you already plan on posting it in those places..... [ Last edited by Wake on Tue Nov 13, 2007 at 1:31 am CST ]

It says original creation so I would assume you have to design in yourself and you won't be able to "copy" something else even if it's from a different game.
