Cooper is currently in Hong Kong - Greetings from there!  24. September flying back from Seattle.
I'm curious how this new idea of MH will end up but I have no time to read every post so I will just check out everything when Im back in Germany. 

I did not make a new map just to put in my MHQ2. If you don't like it it's ok.

I saw it.

Concerning mhStreet2 I would like to hear PepsiLights and DokoDogs opinion as they are responsible for the start of mhstreet I think.

...ohm after informing myself about what exactly was made by him and what not I changed my mind. 

I liked the idea of mhstreet but the town you created looked a bit too deranged to me.
As mhqterrain is getting more and more laggy and the servers now even have problems with its size I thaught it would worth to edit the layout of mhstreet, trying to make it look more considerable. I didn't delete anything from mhstreet, just changed positions. There are still low hills.
The map is a bit bigger now but far from mhqterrain-lagging-level.

Although it's not finished I pasted the MHQ I made for representing MH.

If you like it I would be fine with replacing the old mhstreet with mhstreet2.

Edit: I just noticed that the MH sign on the MHQ is mirror-inverted 

"Why Mapping Hell ?

1) Is there any other Clan xD
5) I'm looking for a Clan"

Reasons you shouldn't have mentioned   

My opinion is split;
On one hand I like the elements themselves, the bike, the teacher's desk, the (spiral) stairs, the kitchen, the bell, the toilet room etc.
On the other hand there is no overall design to see, its just single elements. Especially SnowTown looks really poor - there is no atmosphere to experience at all on both maps.
But as they are both made in multiplayer with possibly random people I vote yes although you could show a little more

Lake added

If we could get more opinions on this lake because I really would like to add it to the Clan map.
Smaller screenshots:

Water is the element of life so more water brings more life in the clan map   
I also cut a few rows on the sides to make the map a bit smaller, a little unimportant piece of hell was also cut off. I didn't pay attention to the small things the lake destroyed, it may be copied from mhqterrain (1) in case you like the basic layout of this one.     There is still alot space for landbased buildings and space for own islands or beaches.
Map is attached.

I think I will try the stuff i described in the post before and save it under mhqterrain2 or something to show you

I like the clanmap but I also think it is a little too big although the wide view over green landscape is pretty charmant. Still I would reduce the size of the map and focus on the lake. A larger lake with some rocky islands and green shorelines around would be better than the current small lake with too much empty green space around it with some smaller buildings, that makes the hole map look scattered, imprecise, undefined.

Hello and thanks for this informative and elaborated introduction of yourself. 

I was impressed by Pepsi's maps so its a yes from me 

Teh_Straz confirmed me today that he isn't interested in joining [MH] anymore.

I'm 19 years old Cooper from Germany and currently studying nautical sciences.

For the first time I played Sauerbraten on a LAN Party 5 or six years ago. While the other five guys deleted the game afterwards I kept it as I didnt have any other shooter at that time except Battlefield 2 which I still play today.
I played Sauerbraten from time to time, not really thinking about getting deeper into the topic or practising shooting or editing.  After one year I deleted it.
Then, one year ago I found some old screenshots of the game and decided to reinstall it. {Suddenly no more crossbow O_O} I found out that the editor is a great way to create stuff and learned by watching and asking other people - I actually never thaught about things like the docs of Sauerbraten or any readme..- I continuously improved with the help of my little handwritten "Things people taught me in Sauerbraten"-list and now I'm proud to be accepted in the coolest Editing Clan 

Concerning editing; Fantasy stuff from wild, circled forms and constructions in various lightcolours to spaceships or flying houses mean nothing to me. I prefer the comprehensible, clear and reality-based buliding style with aesthetic lines and forms.
What does a map full of great circles, bowls, oneway-walls and invisible ladders serve if the objects are not arranged properly within the framework of an attractive construction, creating an atmosphere and feeling.
I usually don't plan to start a map. Im just editing around in multiplayer and when I create a piece that lets my imagination see it as a part of a hole map I start one, following spantaneous ideas.
My aim is to create aesthetic maps, not playable ones.

Greetings, Cooper

A glimpse of my newest project to regain some attention and maybe soon be accepted officially as MH member.   

Cool thanks

I would like to join MappingHell. I played Sauerbraten for the first time on a LAN party 5 or 6 years ago. I liked it and got first experience but then I had to make a break of 2 years. I reinstalled it 1 year ago and since then I keep learning and practising editing.
There are some smaller gaps concerning the required knowledge but Im sure they will get filled fast.
I added screenshots of a few maps. Please notice that some of them show unfinished or just-for-fun stuff.

Hope you like it.
Edit: Maybe I exaggerated with the screenshots..
