Title: Map building question
Post by: Animl 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.

Ahh,,..TY Waffle, that was the very thing that made me ask. Basically just needed some confirmation.

Post by: Dux on January 19, 2009, 04:56:57 PM: 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.

By the way, Animl. For all the information on the TE, visit the Terrain Editor (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/board,61.0.html) forum.

I love big changes, always exciting! :)
