Map building question
« on: January 16, 2009, 04:56:53 PM »
Is anyone doing it anymore?

If I were to develop a new map, would it sustain any updates coming in the future? In other words,..if I start making it now, what would I run into in the near future that might make it not usable, if at all.

I'm sure by my questions you will noticed I haven't look too far into it,.. yet.

Is there a set size, or are there choices in size.
What am I limited to if I wanted to make an attempt?

Is there any terrain updates coming that I should wait until they pass?

Just wondering before I were to dive into to something like that.

You could probably do some planning, layouts, ect...but I wouldn't start within the editor.

Thx Waffle.  I've started on a new map, and I believe Greebo just submitted one, if not soon.  I guess those will have to be put on hold for a bit.  Any hints as to the terrain update? :pray :D

Waffle, that's a bit cryptic to link to a 3-month-old post... can you elaborate a little more, please? In addition to the several guys in here that work on their own terrains, I have several guys of my own who work continuously on stuff for the Special Events community... work that could be really set back if you knew something about a new release and let us blindly keep working in the old editors.

Any news or clues would be appreciated.

It's a major overhaul that we're working on. I can't give you specifics right now, but it is possible that the whole terrain / object system you are used to could be replaced with new systems. Like I said we're still working on it.

Now I have a new excuse as to why I'm not working on my offline terrain. :D

By the way, Animl. For all the information on the TE, visit the Terrain Editor forum.
