I can map. I've been mapping for 3 years now. I just can't map for worldcraft. I may look into it again. It might be a useful skill to learn.

Only map for source engine but I don't mind learning worldcraft. Always wanted to make maps for SC, but I think I'll actually do it this time. Great mod and can always use some good fresh maps.
