Just wanting to share a little amateur map making. Hope it's not too sloppy or nooby. :D
Also I couldn't find some kind of .smc to .bmp maker thing, only hundreds of programs that did the exact opposite.

Get a better picture and I'll analyze it for you. Use SCMDraft 2 to save the image, then open it in something like Paint.NET, resize it, and post it here.

Maps too tight and you aren't going to fit anymore than 4 players on a 128x128. Hell, most (2)s are 128x128.

Yeah, I've always noticed she was claustrophobic. I suppose I could edit it to be 4 instead of 6. I suppose 4 player maps are more common anyhows. :P
Thanks for gandering. :D

Hello

this map is cool :)



Please report errors in the Staredit.Network forum.

There are many existing maps who look like this one, but nice to start ^^
try to make more special things like bigger ramps or longer bridges (with scmdraft) and put eventually some neutral buildings or units (DTs are nice ^^) to block. (to set neutral unit/buildings into the map you have to place unit SPRITES)
otherwise you will not see them in a MP map.

O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- er, wait, idk why i was looking for height

O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- below the minimap should be a thing that says "Overlay Settings" with a little + button in the corner, press the + to expand it, uncheck Use Defaults, then change "Tile Overlay" to "Height"

Sylph-Of-Space -- Unless I'm dum (possible)

Sylph-Of-Space -- It would be so so so nice if SCMDraft had some kind of dedicated "walkability" view for the tilesets.
