Well i just thought I'd post these screenies of the map i've just stared...but got a truckload of work to do...this is only the Very...Very...Very beginning

The map is basically about a cleared out city in between the MEC and USMC...the MEC is holding the city's water supplies.

also i dont know if you know this allready (probaly not as you are a new mapper) but you need to genrate your low detial maps.

OK anyone?

Take a look at the tutorials for 3ds Max. Since Gmax is just a cut down version of 3ds, it's all more or less the same.

Er and also could anyone explain to me light maps??? why can't I see shadowns in my game?
Or can you just not see them in the editor...and when i set the txture detail thing to low...well it became really weird are those for just how you view the map in the editor...or is the map low detailed in the game?

you need to genrate your ligthmaps. in the editor at the top go comple>lightmaps>genrate lightmaps. do it on low to test it out. You will need to download a 710mb file from EA to genrate your ligthmaps on your buildigns perfectly. But dont worrie about that till you really get into mapping
