plz hlp o wise maker of maps:cry


I'm not sure how to help you, I specified the correct settings to be used to make the map. I re-checked to make sure I specified the correct way to edit the map and make it a 256 color bitmap. I'm not sure just how exactly to help you with that. I have heard that some people just seem to have random errors in their TE, and for some reason it won't make maps. So you might consider messing or clicking around with the settings of the "Make Map" Feature. Maybe yo uwill come up with something.

Yes, I have given it some thought, such as how to make simple OE custom objects, and propably to raise/lower terrain. Yet, raising and lowering terrain is way too simple to try and make a seperate Tutorial on it. But, I might consider doing the "OE" Tutorial after I finish the new airport map still in the Qeue line of creation.

You can't make custom objects in the OE (Object Editor). You have to use AC3D or another 3-D design program that allows you to export objects using an AC3D export format.

Try out this here:
http://www.blender.org/cms/Download.13.0.html

It's what XJazz and I use to make our custom objects. It's a freeware program called "Blender". It may seem a bit difficult, but XJazz found some neat tutorials to make it simple.

EDIT: (WIll update this once I get some more info.)
