I have all these awesome ideas in my head for maps and all these good scenary things but I just can't get it to look like what I want because I have bitmap and I try to make the map but it turns out that it looks like it was done by a 7-year old so I just don't know what to do really,

What scenery are you trying to make? Perhaps a more experienced image manipulator can create those you want :-)

As for map ideas, I might be able to help create 'em. Do you have a scanner?

EDIT Or, rather, do you have the .PMSs that were seemingly made by a seven-year-old? I might be able to improve on 'em, considering you direct me what to upgrade.

Well I have been thinking about a mini-series of infiltration maps that are related to Area_51, such as the first one would be the entrance, the second one would be inside the labratory, the third would be the alien autopsy, and the final one would be escaping from the labratory but the final one would have alot of hurting polygons because the place is about to explode. Plus The objective and the returning flag would be at the ending spot that has a big EXIT on top of the door, to make it like a series of maps you know?

Never played Area_51. Draw a rough sketch on Paint?...

I never played Area-51, lol I don't even have a X-box or a PS2.

And is there another painting thing for Windows that would work for Soldat?

No. I meant, just draw out a rough blueprint of the map on MS Paint.

Okay... well, draw some rough blueprint of the map on Paint (I don't care if it's crap, as long as I have some visual guide)...
