So as we just saw, the Map Thread just hit one thousand posts. That number is astronomical for a Show-Case Thread, in fact if I’m correct this is the first Map Show-Case thread to hit one thousand posts, even before the literal Map Show-Case thread hit one thousand. This is a special moment. Realize we have more people contributing here than half of the open Stickied threads in the Map Editor section. This thread has been with me for almost all of my map career with only one map thread before it, I closed that one in favor of a fresh new start back in early 2012. To put it in perspective, this map thread has been with me for so long, that I made this before I was in High School, and now that it has one thousand posts, I’m about to graduate High School. I’m very proud, not just of my achievements that I show off in this thread, but that the community is so interested in these achievements. And believe me I hear it all the time people call me narcissistic so often, but then I come here and I see all of what I’ve done here and I see all of what the people say, and that’s when I know that just as I’ve always felt I’m not really all that narcissistic. I see the reason I have to be proud, and then I see the people who love what I’ve done. Even more actually filling this thread up with maps has been so much fun, posing with friends in map screen shots, just over the years the community contributing to the thread, after all I didn’t make this thread seem so lively, many different people did. In fact without the help of certain people I would not be here where I am today, I’d be a completely different person. I’d say people like Fxie gave me a strong sense for debate, criticism, and passion that led me on to fix things instead of just complain about them. When I saw a problem in my map I’d keep getting at it instead of giving up, even accomplishing things that at the time were not possible, or rather were seen as not possible. People like Bunniecake, while was not here for most of my time in game, they inspired me, I looked at their maps and I said “I want my maps to be just as beautiful and elegant as that.” but then I saw people like Impuredeath, and I saw all the unique and innovative mechs he’d make and I’d say, “I can do better than as beautiful, I can do as beautiful, but also alive.” People like Bogkitty, or Luxurz, kept me going through the depression of all sorts of things. Then there was the people who seemed like they hated me the most, yet would think only I could do things, and that would touch me a lot. I grew up with community and in a lot of ways I’ve even kept it together. Even a few times ensuring the game is safe from an exploit in a map, like one time on Easter I managed to figure out how to make a map without a cheese or hole, I made sure that never got to any player and it got patched. I helped Mapcrew left and right, and while admittedly they use me, with me full well knowing they probably still won’t accept me into the Mapcrew, I let them because I know I want to help in any way I can. Any Map Maker would feel proud of accomplishing what I’ve accomplished, not just for myself but for the community, and so I feel proud. However I still don’t feel done, I have High School to graduate, and I still wish to someday join the Mapcrew that way I can help out the little Map Makers that I know need a Fxie, an Impuredeath, a Bunniecake, a Bogkitty, or a Luxurz in their life to help them through it, to inspire them, to challenge them, to kick dirt in their face and make sure they know they still have a race to finish. I know I still want a P4, I know I still want to be recognised as more of a Mech Map Maker than an Art Map Maker, so I still have room to grow myself. There’s always going to be something for me to do and I want there to always be something for someone else too, it keeps us going, it tires us but keeps us feeling like we’re accomplishing a positive movement in this world. Even when someday I’m not on Transformice any more I still will want to rise above everyone and make change. Thanks to everyone, who made this thread great, and who didn’t mind me constantly going “Wanna see my maps?” :P and as thanks, I have in different tabs of this post secrets in my maps, and more, I hope you enjoy and I hope you’ve enjoyed the one thousand posts it took to get here. As well as the many more posts and Show-Case posts to come. Maybe one day I really will be a Mapcrew but until then, this thread is my home and will always be. So about 50 posts before today, I had asked the Mapcrew if they could help me out with some Secret Secret stuff. I’d like to thank Vvarriow and Reshman for helping me out, and +Goondad for keeping it a secret as well despite finding out what was going on. So, what was this big secret? What did I do? It’s simple, some of you may know that in some of my P5 maps, there are hidden couches, this was because back in the old days we didn’t get much color options so we had to take everything we could get. However over time this developed into more of an Easter Egg, something I didn’t need to add into the map, but just did because it seemed fitting. Anyway, the big secret was that this October all P5 maps that I have were given a couch, including any in discussion that may become P5. I also plan to keep reminding myself to add them for P5 maps. Anyway, as a gift to you all for helping me achieve this milestone, here are all the hidden locations of my Easter Egg couches. @2784715 @2996913 @6189772 @3067412 @3130919 @3676167 @6231648 @6321973 @3801374 @3912610 I really do love this little Easter Egg of mine and while Transformice added in the sitting emotion a while back it still has a lot of interesting value to it. Being a very veteran player, I’ve had a lot of experience making maps and I figure it’s about time I go into a deep and in depth explanation on how you should take the route of making maps. First off, make lots and lots of friends, your best friend as a Map Maker is information, as a Map Maker your enemies are your friends even. The point is most people know at least something that most everyone else doesn’t know. So if you’re in good ties with these people you can do better. Even I myself don’t know everything, though the things I ask are normally things very few people can answer. As noted with this, don’t join map tribes, that’s a bad and stupid idea. Second, make the maps that you want, not the maps that you’ll get perms in. At the same time though, find out why you get perms in that category. Maybe you can use your greatest strength as something unique in the category you want a map in. Personally I love making P6 maps, but people think I’m all this in art and stuff, but I don’t enjoy making those maps, at least not how I enjoy with my P6 maps, I don’t know when I make a P6 map and that map works I feel like that was an actual accomplishment. You shouldn’t restrict yourself to what you’re good at after all. I mean we all have goals and dreams, and if you keep up trying to get what you want, I think someday you’ll get it for sure. Just as I think someday I’ll be Mapcrew regardless of how well people see me. I’m never going to give up on that goal, and you shouldn’t give up on your goal either. Third, indulge in debates, as much as people may tell you it’s bad, it’s not, I mean if it’s done right it can be incredibly productive for not just you but the whole community. If you make a claim and someone challenges it, debate them about it, you may end up citing several reasons why your claim is correct, and in return showing the ropes to several different systems in the Map Editor. I know back when me and Fxie would constantly argue I would learn things. But again if you want to be taken seriously in a debate you need to explain why your claim is correct, and give multiple diverse explanations why. Fourth, experiment a lot, like completely screw around in the Map Editor, ask yourself what will happen for the stupidest of things. If you do that you’ll find yourself discovering things maybe even no one else knows yet, which means you could create a brand new map that could have never been made before. I know in my time I’ve made my own glitches, been one of the first if not first to discover something, some things I still keep secret. Lastly, find someone better than you, and be better than them. You’ll find yourself constantly trying to prove you’re better, the bar of quality will just continue to climb because if that person wants to be the better person they’ll have to keep climbing too. Eventually your knowledge and maps will be so great you would have never realized what you know how to do. And just keep that, don’t let yourself not be perfect, if it even takes ten minutes to get an angle just right, do it. And maybe the map won’t perm, maybe no one will appreciate it, but you can. There is never a waste of time in the Map Editor if you refuse to give up on making something just how you want it. Dernière modification le 1484534340000 |

Congratulations! Always keep my eye on this thread whenever I am on heh. Anyways, I thought the easter egg was pretty neat, glad you're going to continue the tradition. Good luck on getting your P4 map too, had a chance to play on it and it was fun Dernière modification le 1477170480000 |

Thanks Supro also before anyone says anything, there were some P5 maps not included above. This is because they're event maps for Halloween. |

So because were at 1000+ posts now I went ahead and updated my main tribe house to add my Emblem in memorial. The Unstalkable Mansion - @988050 Also I think I might be interested in creating a ton more tribe houses; so if you have any requests feel free to ask me to make a certain kind of tribe house.

New Map in discussion for P4! Was discussing this with Kurt after the P4 review, which I missed. @6923344 - Inversion And as some extra bloopers, the map when it was being P22'd for edits was accidently P2'd I just thought this was funny aha ha ha, so here's a screen of that. |
