BHD was fun to Map. Not too complicated - and when the WAC file really came into use.

I Agree with that
I agree with BTR on that , BHD was fun to map , another of my favs. was TFD, no matter which game or style of editor I have used , TFD always is fun to go back and play around with.You have to realize too monkeydog, that even your best map makers had to start some where and made some pretty crappy maps in the learning process.Try not to spend to much time focusing on making that perfect map ,it seems to take some of the fun out of map making. I've played some maps that took month's for someone to make , and played some that only took someone a few days to make ,and had just as much fun playing both. Just from reading your threads I can tell you are having fun with making maps , keep it that way and i'm sure you will make some killer maps.
Thanxs for your input Doorway. I guess you're right that you've got to start somewhere. I start off making a map with some pretty grand ideas and I think what usually happens is the proverbial " trying to run before you learn to walk ", and then I get bogged down and frustrated to where I'm ready to quit.
So I'm going to start a new one, and keep it simple. Maybe just a few waypoints, a couple win conditions, and some ai . Make a couple real simple, quick missions to play and then slowly start adding in the area triggers and the more complicated stuff. Keep the frustration and stress level to a minimum! Hopefully I'll get to that point soon where I feel comfortable posting one for Y'all to check out.
By the way Doorway, You made some maps a few years ago for TFD and Land Warrior featuring some yetis That I have on cd and still enjoy playing. Any plans in the future of unleashing those yetis again?
Thanx again to all- Doorway, BTR, Arctic wolf.
Yep
I'm glad you asked that monkeydog ,I have just recently reloaded LW and TFD and have started making some maps for both , they are getting close to being done , but not "yeti".. LOL
Glad to hear that, looking forward to playing them! I've been playing BHD alot lately, but I've always really enjoyed TFD. (it was my first DF game)
Cant wait to experience your new maps! ( one day I may ask you how you made those yetis- unless it's a secret recipe!)
Heck, I feel kind of dumb now. In my last post I mentioned that one day I might ask you how you created those yetis. I reckon I know now. Decided to start fresh on my map making with TFD, Opened up the TFD editor (for the first time) and lo and behold- there's a yeti!
Learn something new everyday, huh? LOL!!
Oh well, still hope you incorporate a few in your next map, enjoyed what you did with them before.
See Y'all!
