hehe
a few mins ago I had a talk with LGI via ICQ
and we also talked about when we started mapping
and thus pushed me to search my HDD for my first maps^^
unfotunately, I can't find my _very_ first map. I only remember the structure, but it was 192², and thus had bad critics of size. so apparently, I deleted it. what a pity, wanna have it back^^
was 4-players, badlands, name: Tigerlands
so I guess I have to show my 2nd and 3rd map
2nd, first real "professional purpose" map:

3rd, I even uploaded it here once, about as old as the 2nd one^^:

I don't remember my first map. I just have a map pack with 18 maps, that are cound as "my first", because they are on the same level, and they are made 2000-2002 i guess... My memory is short :)
The map pack had maps like Cosma, Wizzy Noise... Such things, the first big map pack when i upload here, and then listoric delete them, because i was new and didn't know that so many maps uploaded at once would be a problem...
To be honest from the first time i tought that this site, only gathers maps, so i just give it as a gift. I didn't know that there is discussion about maps, and mappers try to improve them... So i was one step from leaving, because "My work has been done here" :P
we were.. we collected promaps, but then good usermaps were added too and soon it became a discussion of what usermaps were good and which wasnt.. that lead to a small community -> today.
I created my first maps half a yaer after release i think, but they are all lost due to formatting and stuff. But they all looked somehow like LT oder Dire Strait clones, after i only played these two maps ^^
lol that's so cool
I just found that 1st map mentioned above :D
my mistake was that it wasn't called "Tigerlands", but (now activate your memory cell 8]) "Forgotten Lands". and it was stored long ago on bw.de-webspace ;D
and it still was there, here's a pic of that 192² murder-work 8[.

This thread is intresting. Although this isn't my first map(s)nor do I even remember what it was. They are some of the earlier ones I made. I mostly liked to modify commonly played maps more to my liking (smaller). I'll put them in chronological order earliest to latest.
Oh yea map names :
Eyesickle
Endurance
Lost temple 96x96
Hunters 96x96
Junkyard
Mos Eisley Spaceport ( Don't ever jack this map name, I plan on remaking it eventually)
first map i made by myself was tiamat. then it was eden of aiur, then sad sad autumn, then spathic, then bridges to terebithia.
before that, i had modified a map that a korean had made, and then made a map for my friend drew a picture and was like "hey make this". then i modified boongees determination and now its lux aeterna.
