CHAOS~*808* aka Brett Soboleski Sr.

Which Delta Force game(s) do you make maps for?
DFBHD, DFBHDTS

Why did you start making maps for Delta Force?
Playing on custom map servers and just the concept of designing your own creation. You get to play in a total differen't atmosphere with what the map maker cunstructed.

Did you find it hard at first?
yes

Have you ever read the mission Editor Manual on the DF CD?
no

If No - Did / do you know it is there?

DFBHDMED Consumer 2.06b

What’s good about that particular one?
To use the new items that were provided.

Where did you get it from (if not the DF CD-ROM)?
Just the BHDTS expansion pack.

What is the most useful utility for a map maker apart from the actual MED?
I have to say it's the BMS to MIS converter.

DF-HQ

MONGADISHU building with just the shell of the building.

What is the easiest game type to make a map for?
I have to say TDM

What is the hardest game type to make a map for?
TKOTH, because I normally play TDM.

What is the longest time it has taken you to make a map / mission?
*808*~BOILER~ 3 days,
*808*~EXILED RUINS~PARADISE LOST-2 weeks on and off

Was it worth it?
YES, but frustrating. LOL.

Did you ever make a map before you found out how to zoom in / out in the MED?
yes

What is the most useful thing in the MED (e.g. group rotate, different terrain views, absolute height)?
The 3D wireframe.

What feature is the MED missing that would make map making a lot easier?
none

How many maps do you think you have made?
26 maps total.

YES, DF-HQ, DFBARRACKS, MINEMANMAPS, and TEAM808HAWAII.

If Yes - Do they get good reviews?
yes

Can you name the best map you have ever played and do you know who made it?
I have to say GodSmackers CITY OF LOST SOULS II, because we never tried to make a sequel to someone elses design.

Can you name any other people who make great maps (apart from yourself)?
Theres so much. GodSmacker, Dzine, Who 42, Warskilz, Whisper-M-, bat, CRACK-SDE, and too much more out there. If I didn't mention your name I'm sorry.

How did you learn to make maps (self, website, friend etc)?
Actually, my teamate PAKA*808* taught me how to use the 3D wireframe. It helped-bigtime in the very beginning of makin maps.

Would you like to mention anyone who has helped you out a lot?
ROOKIE*808*

Do you have a tip that would be helpful to someone who was new to map making?
3d wireframe and patience

Have you ever made a map with the full amount of items?
yes

Do you have a terrain that you like the most?
not really

Ever make your own terrains?
no

If not - would you like to? Or do you not know how, but would if you had info on how to make them?
YES, that would be awesome.

Is there any items / buildings / vehicles that you would like to see in the MED?
I would like to see a combination of DFBHD terranova and DFBHD Team Sabre.

Do you add a signature / your name to the maps you make?
I always have the *808* and ~ on them.

If Yes - What is it made from, what does it say and where do you usually put it?
In our map name.

Has anyone ever stole one of your maps and claimed that they have made it?
YES, they had actually took out our *808* from the name and deleted the enclosed perimeter to make it a sniping map. They were a sniping server. Nothing against snipers though.

If someone steals a map, should the original maker be angry, flattered, or both?
Both, but more on the angry side. Just like this map that we made. I had asked GodSmacker for permission before starting the map. He was all cool, so we proceeded to make it.

Do you like Nova's multiplayer maps?
yes

Do you think your maps are better?
NO, but we try to put out something that is unique and enjoyable.

Do you like Nova's single player missions?
YES, but I hardly play them. My son does. LOL.

Do you think your missions are better?
no

Have you ever used a BMS to MIS converter to see how another map was made?
YES, mainly for the sounds that they used.

Do you get ideas / inspiration from other maps?
YES, we were inspired from GosSmackers CITY OF LOST SOULS II on this one. Our others are inspired from HEAVY METAL bands and songs.

Which is better: night maps or day maps?
Day maps, so you can see what your doing.

Any comments you would like to add?
Thanks for having our map a FEATURED one. I just wish that DF-HQ could and my BRO'S name along side mine. ROOKIE*808*. If it wasn't for him I would have never finished any maps that we both submmit and get rating on!!!

Any comments you would like Novalogic to take note of?
nope.

Thanks for your time and best of luck with the mapping in the future :)
