No it's not.

Ok i understand what u mean but let me rephrase that, It is Easier to have a partner instead of doing it by yourself. Doing, Tiles, Map, Lvz and stuff takes a lot of time out of a persons schedule, you would be suprised at how many half finished maps i have in my Folder they just get boring after a while beacua it takes so goddamn long and making maps is spoes to be fun not boring. ok?

It's very true, mapmaking takes alot of time if you do most of the stuff from scratch.
I only got a few maps in TW, and the one I made a tileset for took me like a week to finish. All in all, maybe I put 5-20 hours on a map depending on how much it is to think of, and if you make a tileset for it. Then again, it might take even longer.

making tilesets & tiling maps =absolutely tedious

[Dark Commando]

I've always found its better doing it yourself, because well from what I've found, people who say they are good at it, suck at it.

Edit: And what zone would these maps be used in?

It's so ez it's so ez

Yup rather do it all myself and take the time to get it just the way i want. Learned that real fast in dev forgot who it was , was supposed to help me with a christmas map and neva did and i had to quickly make the whole thing, had the tileset, but had to make the map in like 4 hrs wasnt what i had in mind.

Hmm

I've found that once you "master", or, "get efficient" with SSME mapping is pretty easy. (that doesnt mean i dont still DRIP SWEAT from my armpits when i'm just sitting there..)

Yes it's tedious, but when you start learning how people react to your creations, you start knowing what to make. At that point it becomes fun.

From what i have done in the past, trench wars bases, are the most stressing to make. Yes... Those little symetrical bases... (and ive made full flagging maps such as Extreme Games public arenas)

My opinion on tilesets is this:
There are VERRY fast ways to make all those "pipes" and "bends".
My first tileset found in ?go prodem took me about 3 days!
My second one i cheated and used a photoshop style
Nowadays i can make tiles like this in less that an hour!



So stick with it, it takes time.

Oh, and thank SuSe for helping me learn how. (by ignoring my dumb ?'s and making me do it myself)

Count me in AoS

Tilesets do take a long time (for me) and so do the maps. I remember it took one month to complete ?go jurassic (first map), but now, it isn't taking so much time.

I've never made a basing map so i wouldn't know And also kryn, if I get tired of making tilesets, can I ask you for some?

Yea thats what I'm here for.

Well i work with Graphics all the time so map making comes easier to me because i have an "artistic" talent.. lolz took classes on Graphic Design and etc one class we worked with spall pixels like when making a tileset. I am in twdev. I make tile sets, maps, shipsets.. They do take time i spent 5+ hours on this tileset (I hope it comes up)
