Hey fester, small word of advice from "the zen of mapmaking".

- Never update maps.

They are representative of a particular time and place/needs and desire of design. You are better off making new ones from scratch instead of trying to rekindle old flames.

In AH, due to the effort required to make some maps, it may seem unfeasable to do it, but its the only way to keep art fresh and clean (never second guess and release only when 100% happy).

I am hoping to start working on a map with stigler and I hope we have as much success as you have had! :-)

I think a third of the maps we have had are made by fester as well as a number of default skins. I think he knows what he is doing. Btw, he is updating a map he made and we used years ago but needed updating for the newer game files.

Oh? I figured HTC would of done that, to keep them in line with the changes made, only seems fair when they get this stuff for free :/

The last update we see from you, for your terrain is on March 25, 2013.

Are you certain there are no errors being shown by the builder?

Have you also made sure the upload terrain checkbox is checked?
