Mapping Services

Map Protection

I offer Tiers of Protection, I break down the levels of protection I use below.Most communities are going to be okay with basic tier but if you really want people to stay out of your map use the Full Protection tier.I offer this service usually as part of a commission I receive or to save someone from doing this themselves.---------------
Disclaimer. If someone really wants your map its likely they will eventually find a way into it. Thankfully most people don't care enough to try and rip into your communities stuff. This is to help prevent people from just using your map on their own community.
---------------
As always the best form of protection is ensuring you are a great owner who does their best for their community and tries to keep them happy and entertained

Map Edits | Starting From $25

I am willing and able to edit just about any map you can find on the workshop or custom made for your community. My minimum Price is the cost of Dinner for me and my Girlfriend.Map editing can range from the tedious to the really simple. It isn't far from me to even to a quick fix for free to help out the community. With all of this said I will quote any project you are interested in having me do for you.To get a free quote for a map edit Contact me

Custom Maps | $250-$1500

Custom maps are the Ultimate way to upgrade your community and bring some true major value to your project. Of course with any increase in value, there requires an investment. My custom maps will get you what you want at a price. I am not ashamed to admit that im not always interested in doing custom maps. I have to be really interested in the project and even then I will need to be motivated by the offering the jobs offers.This requires a quote and a document to be sent in with all of the details of the map you want created. If you cannot provide a document you may provide a brief description for a general idea of what it could cost. The More information you provide the more accurate your quote will be.


Configuration Services

I offer all sorts of configuration services, Whether we need to profile your server to understand what is causing issues, dealing with an annoying plugin or addon that takes forever to setup, or even figuring out what plugins are just adding overhead to your project. I've got something for you!I always ensure that what I send back to you is ready to be used by you and your community. I keep my config clean and leave comments for you should you wish to go in later and change something yourself.I also help with server planning, I help ensure that whatever project you are working on is planned out properly and meets the scope of your budget, time, and appealability to players. Planning a community before development gets done couldn't be easier!To get a free quote for a configuration job Contact me


Modelling Services

Need to port a prop or an asset? I know how to do the dirty work to get what you want. It can be frustrating trying to port over a prop or a piece of a world and not know how to get it out of a game engine and into Garry's Mod. Some engines even have scripts or tools to do it but you can't be bothered to learn a new skill.Don't worry I'll take care of it.Want to have a 3d icon made for your community to slap around your favorite map? Maybe you just want a cool go kart model or Lightsaber hilt for your server.I can do that too!To get a free quote for a modelling job Contact me
