After a recent thread about my avatar, it got kinda off topic with discussion of Winamp Skins and Game maps...

Just wondered if anyone else makes maps for things like the Command & Conquer series, Unreal Tournament or anything like that...??

I liked this skin for windows media player, if anyone uses it.

But i would like to get into making my own skins and maps
if you have any info to get me started ;)

Hmm... Depends what you're skinning or making maps for...

For Red Alert 2 maps, visit www.westwood.ea.com and download Final Alert 2

It allows you to design maps for Command & Conquer Red Alert 2

There's also FinalSun for Tiberian Sun (I think its called FinalSun but I'm not sure) which is available from www.sunedit2k.com

And for Winamp, just go to Winamp.com, click the Skins seciotn then click the link about making your own...

I'd recommend a good graphics package (In windows, that'd have to be something like Paint Shop Pro 7, or adobe photoshop) or the GIMP in Linux !!

[Preferabbly the latter, failing that, Photoshop, failing that, PSP]

Btw. The Gimp is free (as far as I know?) so if you've got Linux it's probabyl your best bet.

All you need after that is to be able to perform basic image editing stuff, and to have a sense of art and whether something looks good or not!!!

Ahahahaha got all that logged near enough except Gimp ;)

cheers, gimme a few days

Have a good saturday night ;)

Good saturday night? Most of it's gone!!

As a write, I am learning how to make models for half life... if anybody has any tips on how to make them using Milkshape 3D, email me at My Address.
