Great news ,as I see a few staffs can not script they need to learn cuz we need loyal staffs :]
What was the reason for asking for MTA hacks on hackforums then?Did you try some? http://cit2.net/index.php?topic=53215.0At least the minecraft bit was true since you seem to like "cracking minecraft accounts" http://pastebin.com/Vh2Tan7pI'd have linked to the topic I saw about you asking for hacks but hackforums won't let any of the results be viewed by guests.This is completely off topic, anyway.
mapping is not too hard. The real sh*t is finding people that have skills for scripting in the first place but they need time too. You also need to find people that don't stop scripting because they are bored. I was thinkig about if you are a "senior community member" then you can apply somwhere for script lessons.this is my opinion.
Mapping is not as easy as you think. You need an open mind ready to combine GTA SA stuff in order to make something never seen, you need time and patience. Scripting and mapping are both hard and need time to do something relatively great.
Actually, mapping is really easy. So easy that anyone can do it. It's just a matter of finding the right objects in map editor and making something cool out of them.
It's easy as hell to map though, you require absolutely no technical ability to do it. There is also almost nothing that we need mapping and even when we did have a competition to make prison island there was only 1 serious entry.
Well let's be honest, most people can't really map well. I expected less. You really need a lot of creativity.
And that's what ProTo and I mean, a mapper needs lots of creativity and a focoused mind.
