Mapper/Level-Designer - Source Engine
About me Hello there! I'm known as thebluecrusader on Steam and on GmodStore, I am a Mapper and design maps for Garry's Mod & Source Engine for Community Servers and have around 4 Years Experience. I noticed there's still a lot of requests for mappers & mapping jobsd for new community server cropping up ever so often so I figured I'd make a newer thread.
Budget I typically start off the default map budget of $100-$150+ on here. I've worked with a lot of server owners and made maps for a lot of communities. The price is negotiable depending on the size of the map & complexity of concept and/or features & time-frame but that's generally the starting price.
My Experience I've been mapping for around Four-Five years, offering my services on GmodStore & Coderhire for a few years. I've made maps for different types of servers such as a Walking Dead Roleplay, Medieval/Fantasy Roleplay & SchoolRP. I've played Garry's Mod for around 9-10 years and have owned many different servers myself throughout this time, accruing around a total of 4,000 hours.
Terms/Things I won't Do If the original creator of a map you need editing does not give their consent, I will not do map edits of that map. This mean you will need the original VMF from the creator otherwise not only will it cause internal map issues, but you do not have permission. It's easy to spot a decompiled VMF Map file when it's full of different issues.
Why choose me over others? I have attached some of my more recent projects to show examples of quality of work and can provide feedback from the past. I'm a very honest person and stick to my word and task so if you have a good vision, I'm sure we can talk! You can also look at my Profile screenshots to see some very early stage development on a map project I just started.
Time I prefer to work on more of a flexible time frame to make sure the final product isn't rushed and is good quality, however if you have a specific time frame due to having a large community or another reason, we can make it work. Obviously, I do have other commitments and work to do so I can't spend all waking hours on mapping, but I can devote a couple of hours each day to make sure the job gets done.
Payment When choosing to work with me, I prefer to set jobs up via GmodStore regardless of being contacted through Steam or this site to make sure they are tracked and there is a history of jobs as well as feedback being able to be left on both sides. This also gives me more security when working with clients who may try to pull a scam. This is why with most clients, a payment option is preferrable where both the client and myself are happy such as Paying half up front and the rest upon completion or upon progress intervals.
Work Examples

Clients I've worked for in the past from this community
- BC BEST (Deathmatch Map Project)
- Seba (Walking Dead RP Prison Map)
- Max (Server Configuration - Non Mapping)
- extra.game (Breaking Bad Roleplay Building Prefabs for his map)
Contact me Steam Profile The best way to contact me is via Steam, although I do read Private Messages on this site or replies on the forum, it's infrequent and may take me a while to get back to you. I'm usually available on Steam, and if I'm not I will most likely receive messages via mobile which I will get back to you asap on. Sometimes if I am online, I am not always at my PC but I will issue a response as soon as I am able to. You can find my profile by clicking on my name on this page and adding me on Steam from my Scriptfodder profile. Please leave a comment on my Steam profile mentioning the reason you are adding me for.

Why is this necessary? Yes that is one of my old Steam profiles.

You don't own gmod on this account.

For someone that have been mapping for four~five years your mapping skills seems pretty rudimentary.

You've heard of a Steam integration feature called Steam Family-Sharing right? I appreciate your cautiousness and the Crusade for reactions but why would I purchase the game twice when I can run it from my other library?
Yeah we've all heard of family sharing, reason he's pointing it out is because people who use alt accounts instead of their main without a good reason usually are trying to hide something
I think people are over thinking this one, I don't see anything dodgy going on here. He has 14 years on the Steam account listed on this gmodstore account but seems to play gmod and most of his other games on his alt account. Google doesn't reveal anything alarming.

I have seen a lot worse, I do agree these maps do look lacking. A lot of the terrain seems to be made of brushes and not meshes but I will give him credit for stating that he won't do edits of other peoples maps without the original VMF and authors permission.
There's nothing to hide, Commander pointed it out well, the only reason I am now using my main account (Did not previously use this for Gmod) is because of the VAC bans I accrued that I no longer wish to be related to. Please refrain from any further toxicity as that isn't what this sub-forum is for, thank you.

Well I know for sure this isn't the overwatch forums so not everything is considered toxic, so far really there's just been a question as to why your current account was just signed up on here and u said you had a couple years on this site and coderhire. Honestly would have been better to link your main account cause that does prove you've been here long but when you make a statement like that and your account shows u signed up 3 hours ago of course it's gonna raise suspicion. Plus the other comment about your work was pretty constructive imo.
Either way we know ur main so there's really nothing much to talk about on this subject.

Yeah, I did try contacting one of the Staff members about perhaps any way I could merge my old Rep onto this profile and the scripts I bought which prevent me from closing it entirely but no response. Anyways happy it's cleared up, no problem!
As far as services, added them to talk about a job, had work related things to take care of, they removed me after 20 minutes, if you can't respond instantly, prepare to be removed

This is not the case, it was not 20 minutes and I'm sorry but I tried to contact you after accepting you during fluctuations of your Online status but you did not reply. Sometimes it's the case that I have people who add me and I have them on my list for days without them responding so if it says they're online I will give them adequate time to respond. Sorry if there was some sort of miscommunication or you were away, but please don't leave bad feedback about something so minute when you could have left another comment or re-added me. Also please note for anyone looking, this was not during a job, it was simply an enquiry/message request on behalf of himself.

Nothing is stolen, it is being shown as I worked on that at the time. I textured and added certain brushes/props/detailing to the base you gave me so I just used it as representation, however thanks to you I realised I used the original map screenshot rather than the screenshot with my changes, thanks for letting me know. I don't mind adding credit for the original map base when I edit the screenshot since I didn't make it. Thanks for bringing it to light, it'd be nice to just notify me rather than throwing accusations. Also we discontinued contact unfortunately on my end because I became disenfranchised with your project rather than the reason you represent, perhaps you're confusing me with another collaborator, regardless good luck on your endeavour.
Perhaps gmodstore should put put a filter on people making accounts based on if they own gmod.

And maybe a few weeks/months old... is not hard to buy gmod in multiple accounts with this 50% OFF i know that might affect me but well, i guess people with reputation should stay? lol.
Hello, looking for a mapper for a JvS map. PM for details.
