i for one would like to eventually see the town back when possible.
BTW any word on the pizza map? i though i read somewhere that it was gonna be the first big map out. and what of OZKANSAS? i dig that map as well
Here is the deal.... The new graphics engine does not support the 'custom' shape groups some of us created when we built terrains for AH1. The problem is that you don't build shape groups anymore, you build complete sectors (this is a 1 mile map sector..not the 25 mile game sector). This means that maps using a great many custom shape groups will require a lot of additional work when being converted to AH2. Trinity was fairly easy. It only had 4 custom shape groups (TT and 3 fleets). Fester's OZ might well be the LAST terrain to get converted because of this.
On the upside, mapmakers will have a great deal more power and flexibility when creating maps. In simple terms, you can think of it as being like the difference between a 16 color graphics display and a 256 color one.
All I can say is have patience, Grasshoppa. I plan on rebuilding TT, in some form, in the future.
