Staredit Network -> Miscellaneous -> Are some people really "Advance"?

Recently, I've been seeing lots of people with the mapping skill as "Advanced". Either the skill level of advanced has dropped incredibly or people are lying about their skill. I don't see why lie about your skill. It's about as lame as stealing a map.

I know what you mean. People in (U) and people like Tux and Yoshi should be advanced.

Not calling any names but i dont think Zombie is not really an advanced map maker

I consider myself Advanced, because i know A LOT! but i just never really implement it...

Well. I know a lot, but that doesn't mean I can consider myself advanced.

In the beggining I thought I was advanced but I knew I wasen't.
Now that I've read every Tutorial and Bolt's tips and Triack and been here at SEN for a while.

I think I've learned enough to be advanced.

Another thing: Advanced is knowing how to create triggers and stuff not make good maps.

I'm advanced trigger/terrain but I'm pretty bad at thinking of good ideas.

If you can look at every map you see and say "I know how he did that" or even "I can think of more than one way to do that" then you're advanced. A lot of it has to do with creativity and on-the-spot trigger improvisation, at least for me.

Hmm. Then maybe there should be a another skill level above advance.

I think I'm going to make another level, but it'll be admin/mod defined.

Great idea Yoshi, i guess people wil have to show their work to get this level (unless your Tux or Bolt)

Do like this Yoshi:

-Beginer: The newbies

-Average: Able to do some map and at least Rpg...

-Advanced: They know lot's of trick... they do map, certainly good

-Über: Like Qpirate Or Tuxedo, SOME of the (U) clan...

-Mom Rappist: Those guy's are only legend...

Why does everybody think if your in (U) your a uber map maker because from what ive seen of some of (U)'s latest maps in beta they suck.

Personally, I don't believe any of the "Advanced" mappers unless I've actually seen one of their maps.

Precisely what I was thinking...

"SOME of the (U) clan..."
Much agreed...

I consider myself advanced, as when I see a map with something cool, I can do as Nozumu said he considers advanced, and figure out how they were done(or atleast could be) and often with simpler maps think of multiple ways to do it.

Another reason is my ability to think of all kinds of weird ideas...
I've thought of 7 or 8 different battle system ideas, none of them used in Rev's Battlesystem Maps 3-5(haven't seen 1/2), and another one being the same as Fate and destiny, though I didn't know of the map at the time.

Umm, are you saying my maps suck? If I recall, you've never seen any of mine so, well, whatever. I'm also proud to state that I've never made a bound before, ever. Bounds = EVIL. By the way, I think really there are only advanced map makers left in Clan (U) right now, I mean, it's not like we have anymore of those lame unoriginal bound-only people hanging around with a little (U) tag.

Sorry, I'm kind of sensitive when someone states that they think my work "sucks". tongue.gif

Mmmm.. I consider myself advanced and Alot of other people are Fans of my work,
But all i mainly completed are bounds, it doesn't show much of my real skill, while i was making bounds, i was getting help and seeing other maps by people (like in a game) and i just knew how to do every trigger i saw (i dont know why) so i gradually became one of best known map makers on bnet (mainly the people i know think im one of best which is alot, and some people i dont know)... Nvm i would say I and Red2Blue are the highest rated bound makers on bnet, but i quit making bounds to make maps that show my real skill and creativity, but i don't have the time to work on a RPG... like half the bounders or non bounders, when they see me they sometimes say sumtin like "are you Mp)Pr0?" and then sumtin like "omg i love yur bounds" or they'll say they'll love A bound like my LumPia Bound or 4Way Bound, SonicXBound, and eXileBound, etc. i do know how to work any trigger system it just takes time, so i do consider myself Advanced and i don't care what other people think...

There is now an Uber map making skill which is admin defined.

What is Admin Defined? only admin can make you Uber?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Yoshi da Sniper on 2004-10-04 at 23:29:41
Yes, if we think you're a skilled map maker (like bolt, tux etc) then it is felt that it shouldn't be earned by a simple change in your profile, but allow the admins to evaluate it smile.gif
