I wanna make maps!

hey guys, I saw Nero and Pauke and DeoX making maps, so I was wondering where to get the editor and which one is best to use? If you could also tell me how to install it that would be great.

Thanks

There is a map making editor in your savage folder. Open editor.bat and create a new map

Dude, I tried making maps. When you screw it, you'll wanna throw your pc through the window.
I mean, I have tried doing loads but then I screw up and never ttry again

the easyest way is using a hieghtmap. thers a turotial on that. The hardest and most boring part are the ocluders. But dont explect to throw out a map in 2 hours, a good map takes a day of work. and ad one for debugig and testing

I never used tutorial , i discovered everything by myself and created my own style so , i think you must do same , so you'll discover and use the editor faster , but you need one or two weeks of training before starting a map , good luck

You never used Tutorial ? I showed you Cola's Tutorial on H-L Forums.

Cool thanks guys

ENVY. I can show you Cola's Tutorial. It's not a video, it's a web page.
Everything's very clear and easy to understand. You want it ?

ye maybez. one last thing, when i open editor, it coems up with eden 2. how do i get a blank map?

I didn't used it because it's a tuto for SFE editor , the XR is quite different and i only use XR

I'm going to show you ENVY. Cola explains everything

EDIT : Tutorial by Cola is in French... You want it ?

Envy,

I very strongly recommend reading tutorials, despite what Pauke has said, there is a lot to learn and it is made many times easier by reading other map makers hard won experience.

Below is a couple of links, if you spend some time reading and absorbing the information, you will find you will make much quicker progress than stumbling around alone in the editor.

(this guide is written for SFE however it is still mostly relevant... only some of the GUI has changed, and it is a really well written guide)

(this is a link to a thread overon has made which combines a multitude of resources into the once compact post)

(this is a thread showing my personal binds and outlining their uses, it is INVALUABLE to making mapping faster/easier and more professional)

I am also in the process of working on an XR editor guide, its only about 40% complete at the moment, but keep your eyes peeled because it will hopefully help you all understand the mapping process much better.

I am currently using the Rmod map editor.... can you give me some advice?

Rmod only changes the GUI of the editor. So all the principals are exactly the same as the XR editor and SFE editor. To be honest I prefer the XR editors GUI anyway. However the links I have provided you with don't change, they are just as useful with Rmod as they are with XR or SFE.

I tried making maps but my problem is that, I think the map is good, then I try to make it better, better, better, better and it becomes a piece of s**t at the end
