A suggestion for Syntax [Archive] - ForumsHQ

Maybe you can already and i just can't seem to figure it out, but i was thinking that if nightmare could create maps by just like clicking and dragging a line on the map editor, that'd be really really cool and more effecient for making awsome maps.

Seems like editing maps is harder than it should be :arghh:

yeah, it's been suggested before. i haven't really looked into how complicated it would be. i plan to first improve the "map editor" to have it show like a block of 16 rooms or so while your walking around creating a map.



p.s. thread moved 'cause the 'YourIdeas' forum is mainly for new edit ideas and such.

It's simple to edit maps. Just open the map editor and use your number pad to walk in a line. Like Syntax was saying, improving the map editor would help by showing more rooms (or by somehow updating the big map every time a new room is created? too much processing to make it worthwhile?) would work. I just start walking around in a line with a decent image of where I'm going in my mind. It's just some times hard to find your start point.
