Hi, me again, I was reading a post, and a guy said that most maps take 2 weeks to be decent enough to play unless all you did was make a box with some weapons... But my story is a bit different..

I got Yayap's tutorial, and its a great one at that.. But heres the thing.. I can Give a map textures, hills, export it, compile the scenario tag, and get it ready for sapien, IN A FEW HOURS!

Right when i herd that it normally takes 2 weeks for a decent map.. i KNEW i was doing something wrong.. but im following Yayap's tutorial word-by-word, so... what AM i doing wrong?

Depending on the quailty, detail of the map it can take longer, you can make a map in under 5 mins only it will be like a box, or spend a long time and make something much better.

As Guru Said, It Takes Time To Make A Good Quality Idea.

You Need Time To Work Out A Realy Good Layout
Then Design It So That You have Good Detail.. Eg Tunnel's, Or Symbols You Want To Use.
Then You Need To Design It, It Takes Time To Perfect It.
Then You Want To Use Good Textures, So Take Time To Find Good Ones, Or Make Your Own.
Then Take Time Placing Scenery. Choose The Best Scenery. Think, What Goes Well?


So Yea, It Can Be Done Quickly, But It Takes Time For Quality.

That is because you are using a heightmap

They are plane modeling

Plane modeling takes a lot longer then using a heightmap



Yeah.. i heard about this "Plane modeling" thing for a while.. um.. how do you plane model? lol
