I have been Hired to...

Have you all seen this Wolfenstein Mod for Counter Strike Source? I was in a server last night with my son, and he was telling this English chap that his dad maps, so he contacted me today asking me if I can map some Wolfenstein style maps for the mod. I showed him some of my work and he said he would pay me to map for him.. Price has not yet been discussed but I am a little leary because I dont think I am all that and a bag of chips, and besides I dont know much about Wolfenstein.

What do you think? Advise me.

OK here are some details..

Hello mate,

I certainly hope you can do this for me
I will pay you $50 per map if thats fair

Here are the maps I would like:

Destruction
wizerness
Rocket
Dam

All four would be fabulous
Do them in that order.

Please peeps some imput would be nice. Can these maps be recreated in CSS?

To be honest, I've never heard of such a mod but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

I don't know, it seems a little bit suspicious, I'd trust him more if he didn't offer money but you can always try. Your probably gonna have to create some custom textures, sounds, props etc for the maps. I'm not sure if he is thinking your going to create the whole mod for him (weapons, game play mechanics (coding) etc). If your lucky, somebody has already extracted all the content from the game and you can probably download like a "sound" pack or "texture" pack which contains some or all of the game content, I know such things exist for games like Halo on the interwebs.

The MOD is already out.. Here is the guys server.. even has a nice little cap the flag mod in game.

69.12.91.20:27015

thats his server.. he has some custom maps some guy did for him, and they are crap. Just boxes with tables and chairs floating in mid air. Just aweful stuff.

I DL the game ( Return to Wolfenstein ) tonight and was running around in a few of the maps... I dont think it would be viable to do the entire maps.. because they are rather large, or seemed so to me compaired to CS:Source levels/Maps.

50 bucks for a map is peanuts, considering the amount of hours that it would take to make one. I responded to a forum thread elsewhere that was offering up $200 just to optimize an already made tf2 map to a point that it's playable. The guy had already put a shitload of work into his map, and probably hated the idea of so much of his time being wasted, hence the reward. Even so, it's still not a lot of money for the amount of work that I've put into it. I don't really care if he pays up or not. TBH, I'd be happier just to see the map get some decent server time.
Muhnay, I'd say you should only do it if you actually want to make the maps, not if your looking to get paid for them. Payment will never reflect the effort that needs to be put in, unless a couple of zeros get added to the final price.

Yeah Fishy, thats what I was thinking too.. when he suggested payment I was like NAW I map because I like too. If I thought I could do a good job and enjoyed what I was doing, then that would be my payment. Besides I dont consider my skills payment worthy at this time... =(
