Getting Started
Decide what you would like to do
The first step in becoming a developer is conceiving a general concept of what you would like to do. If you are just starting out, I would recommend you consider creating a map for another zone or expanding a zone that is already out. Starting a zone from scratch will be an extreme challenge if you are not already familiar with the editors.
- If you are planning on creating a map, you should first create a graphical outline of your map project in an image editing program such as MS Paint. Once you are done with your outline, head over to the Map Editor Guide for download and explanation of how to use the Map Editor.
Create a detailed outline of your ideas
Almost half of the work in creating an expansion of a zone is to thinking through what you would like to do. I would recommend defining the changes to the classes, weapon selection, vehicles, map, bounty system, and gameplay system all in a notepad file. This part of the development process is often overlooked… I recommend you spend at least a week or two thinking and putting together your ideas.
