Commissions closed. I don't believe they will be ever opened again.

What is this about

Hello there little whelps,

there are apparently quite a lot of people who are willing to pay for maps, but they want to have real finished map, they don't want to just hear some empty promises. I am willing to sell some maps I have already finished before (unless they were already bought by someone), and I'm also accepting commissions - you can hire me to make some project for you. A few general rules follow though:

• Comissions will be sold to only one person, and whoever next would like to buy them would need to have a permission of the one for whom the map was originally designed/sold. Thats in general possible when projects don't cross their interrests for some reason (different language, game style...).
• Map costs (very) roughly around 750 CZK (czech crowns) per ADT of ground (bottom of seas around isles don't count or are way cheaper). Google your currency to CZK conversion rate. 750 CZK is about 28.75€ or 32.75 USD now.
• Payments are to be sent on my Paypal account. Currency used there is up to you, I will have to make conversion to CZKs anyway, so it doesn't matter what kind of currency you send. Currency conversion fee is my problem and I won't add it to your payment.
• I will send you map after receiving payment, not sooner, and when its done. We can discuss sending WIP version for part of final payment though (usually % of price based of approximated % of work progress already done), if you need it for developing server side stuff.
• My newest maps can't be opened in Noggit, they cause crashes. Its a protection against leechers. I can tell you how to get rid of it ofc, so you'll be able to edit my maps after buying them, if you want to. I won't share that knowledge here though.
• Patches will contain needed DBCs, WDT, ADTs and all retro-ported or custom textures and models used. I will do all client side work - Noggit, light settings, ground effects, water and so on. I can also create custom M2/WMO models, if really needed.
• I work only on WotLK. At least for now. However, you can (hopefully) upconvert my maps to newer client versions, I suppose, but I can't provide you any assistance with this.
• I won't generate server-side maps for you, but I can help you with that by guiding you.
• Maps which are not done as commissions for someone are free to be bought by anyone, unless someone gives me offer to pay something I would call a really good price. In such case we might discuss closing sale of that map.
• Please, no strict deadlines. I am sometimes a busy person and sometimes I just don't want to work in Noggit. Its a very bad idea to try to force me to work in such times, results tend to be just way worse than they would have been otherwise. If we agree on any sort of deadline, I will try to make map on time ofc, just keep on mind that all kind of things can happen.
• Apart of deadlines you may want to try to put on my head, I ALWAYS keep my word and don't just break deals, at least as long as you keep your part of any deals we make. If I say I won't sell your map to anyone else, I won't, and I will help you as much as possible with protection against possible patch stealers (just remember - there is nothing like an absolutely impenetrable security measure). I always send my maps ASAP after payment is received. You can count on me when it comes to such things, and I think I am a person known around well enough to be considered trustworthy.
• I will make the very basic minimap and world map working for you if you want me to, but I preffer to not draw anything. I am just a beginner when it comes to painting maps or any 2D hand-painted stuff in general. But I can do it.
• I can create custom 3D models for you, both WMOs and M2s. But for now no animations/particle effcts/lights (so no creatures as well). And I am not importing stuff from different games, only creating new, custom stuff - stationary doodads and items or buildings. You can actually hire me just to make models for you, no problem with that, and I am also learning to hand-paint custom texture now as well.
• If you are not 100% sure wheter you will be able to pay me, please, don't waste my time. I've always got different things to do, so make 100% sure you are able to keep your side of agreement. If I get sense that you are just wasting my time, I will cut you off.
• No weeboo projects. I am not a fan of anime.

If you are interrested, contact me via PM here or via Skype striker159753.

Some previous projects to show off

My personal project from 2014-2015. I've been modding WoW since summer 2011 - there were multiple projects before this one, but I don't think they are worth mentioning in comparision with this and the following ones. Arathor RP still exists, but has moved to Mythia map (below). Following map was already sold.:

My current personal project (although no longer owned/led by me, I have retired), opened in 2016. Still running. Some parts of map were not done by me though (most of those people tend to not like :P). As this map was finished by some of my former collegues, I will never offer this map for sale, unless they give me a permission.:

Both of following videos are from Erutia project. The first is a full making of video (well, not really full, that would be either too long or too fast to watch, but I've put parts of every step of progress there), the second is a trailer (with some speed spawning stuff included as well).:

Comissions I've already finished, they are not for sale anymore.:

WMOs I'm creating and releasing for free use.:

I wish you good luck with your store and also good income. Speaking about the money, I can tell about my amazing experience using PayPal. People can send you money in whatever currency, but you will receive them in your national currency depending on today's exchange rate. Then you can trasnfer them to your bank account within 4-5 days or buy something online immediately. 

Anyway, I saw the accident on Mocraft and I want to assure you that these kind of rules won't be applied here unless we have some serious reasons for it. All guys in the team are fine with people receiving money for their work and also it is totally fine if you link some external resource to show something that is not here.

I  congratulate Steff, Milly or whatever it wants to be smaller now, and Skarn to successfully splitting and fucking over the whole community. Well fucking done.

Steff, get over the fact you don't have the time and capability to do everything alone. Accept help, and realize that people have helped you, a lot. I managed modcraft for a damn long time while you did nothing but be the great master behind the scenes, everyone looks up to and sees as the only responsible person. In the whole thing of Skarn an milly offering help, you never even contacted me. 

Skarn, milly, duck you guys. If helping a community to fix the issues is done by splitting it, and private messaging people on the existing one to join your great new community, you succeeded. I know the rules didn't say shit about big messaging people about your new thing. That's fucking common manners.  Hint: it helped fucking nobody. Splitting a group will never lead to a higher truth. The content of your sure is exactly the same. All additional things you have is a gallery for screenshots. Was this worth the drama and negative effects? Oh yeah, and a shoutbox, right. The whole thing didn't advance. People still do they and old shit. 

I'm just sick of this. It has helped nobody and destroyed all the community things we had by splitting things up at badly defined borders with 90% of talking behind people's backs and talking shit about them.

Have fun with your community on people half-posting to either sides with there being an ongoing war. I don't want to be part of this anymore. On a side note, the wiki, while mcnet links to it as if it was their own, and steff wanted to integrate it into modcraft, will stay neutral.

If you want a drama free community, start working together and don't try to convince people that your penis is bigger than the other dictator's. It just doesn't help.

</drunk rant>

 

 

(Ps, your mobile site sucks dick and is worse to use than modcraft. Eg I surely didn't quoze Skarn quoting himself. I was also unable to delete it. Getting to the forums also is a pain. Congratulations, the one thing you wanted to improve failed.)

[Bardh]

I've been part of the wowmodding for more than a year now, and as more as I use mcnet the more primitive modcraft looks to me, I made a presentation of a project of mine here and in Modcraft, while here I got plenty suggestions or critics in modcraft I didn't get a single review considering the big community there and it wasn't the problem on the project but there is no such way I could represent the project in the way it should And all I and we want is a place to develop our community and present our work but modcraft isn't that place anymore, maybe it was, the quality isn't getting any better(did you know you cant post more than 30 pictures in modcraft),I don't see that community dedicated to quality wowmodding in modcraft. Sorry I don't want to start any flame wars but I had to give my opinion.

[Elrena]

I think you were just too drunk schlumpf  anyway thanks for the thoughts on the mobile, it's at least something to consider.

Please keep this conversation out of Amaroth's thread though. I might just make a new thread for this when I get home. Maybe.

[Axel]

Amaroth weren't these maps supposed to be for your project? If so what happened to it? 

[Amaroth]

Amaroth weren't these maps supposed to be for your project? If so what happened to it? 

They indeed were and players were playing RP on them for a while. I left that project in summer 2015, because I didn't have nerves for nerds with hurted ego and kids and fools like that. I also didn't agree with some things most of my GM team wanted. I didn't want to force them to do stuff as I saw fit, but also didn't want to work with them on their things they wanted to do. I advise and help them from time to time, when its needed, but I am no longer member of that team at all. Team is currently finishing my map to which project is going to move and project itself is frozen.

About those maps I posted here, they are just supposed to be my showoff, I don't want to and won't sell them, I will make a new ones. All I want is to get back at least part of 450€ I put into hostings of servers I worked on in last 3 years, because I need money for my closing future.

To others, like Elrena said, please, I don't like to see that argument soaking even here, especially into my thread. While I don't regret I was the one who made Steff's doing public, it should be discussed elsewhere.

[Axel]

Ah okay, seems like a good reason man. And yeah people should stop using this thread for an argument. I advice those who want to discuss this argument to make a new thread.

[Amaroth]

Topic updated and rewritten.

[UltraNic]

Omg the making of Nimer is soo good! It looks so great! How long did it take you to do this?!
Dont get me wrong but in my opinion there are too many of those brown earthen 'scars' (?) on the ground. Are there so many in the official Warcraft Universe of Azeroth too? I never noticed that lol  But your Island looks so awesome! I love the density and variety of trees for the forest and every detail is placed so perfectly! Man I wish I could mapedit as good as you  Great work! Keep it up!

[Amaroth]

Nah, thanks :D. It took me less than 2 weeks (about 10 days if memory serves me well), but most of that time I wasn't really working that hard at all. It was actually quite a small project, which is one of the main reasons I've decided to shoot it. Those brown lines really were maybe a little bit too wide (big contrast between dirt and grass textures did a lot here as well), although it was just an experiment, I experiment at least a little bit basically in each map I do. In general, I've started making such lines a lot more narrow in my next projects and nowadays I don't really use them at all, just rarely.

[Amaroth]

I'm accepting commissions again. But please, ony small or reasonable projects, no projects like "20 ADTs please". Something doable.

I'm also selling my old Erutia map. You can see part of it in those 2 videos I have provided in main post, and in its project entry linked both in main post and below. I'll wait some time if anyone comes with decent offer. If there will be more of you, I'll either choose the highest bidder, or sell it to all of you, depenind on height of price you'll propose and depending on what we will agree on. Map contains 1 big (9 ADTs) island, 2 medium (around 1 ADT) islands, bunch of smaller islands (one of them has whole fortress on it), nearly 2 kilometres long creepy cave and 2 sets of floating islands in the sky. Models used on map are mostly MoP/WoD, as map is over 2 years old and unused.

We can also agree on selling just a part of a map. Map can be divided into at least 7 subzones, so...

[Poisonleaf]

GLWS, I've peeked at all your maps and love them every single bit.
If people are looking for a map designer you are diff. the person to be.

[Amaroth]

Erutia map sold. I'm still accepting commission though, so if you want me to design some custom M2s/WMOs/maps for you, you can hire me.

Comissions closed.
