Hello Mad Russian,

thanks for the editing tutorials.
Would it be possible to get these (map making and scenario editing) as printer-friendly PDFs ?

Following would be much easier.

[Mad Russian]

I think they already are. I know the Cap'n was working on doing something with them.

Good Hunting.

I think I read this somewhere here, but I'll ask because I can't find it now...

Will there be a blank PNG of the hex grid released? I'd rather do everything map-related in Photoshop than in HexDraw.

[CapnDarwin]

Templates will be released soon with the Modding Guides.

Benpark maps??


YES!!!!!!!!!! [&o]

I worked for a certain amount of time
to a map editor based tileset ...
but difficult to progress as the modding tools and information are not available ...
In the meantime I started in reworking a map in a more "boardgame" style ....
Here are a picture of the map "Red Storm Fulda Gap",first I reworked ....
it's still a work in progress, still need to add fields and text ....




Nick

very very nice work! Way better than the stock graphics! +1

Not sure where to post this problem, MR maybe you can help here, I purchased Hexdraw this year and had it loaded on my desktop, well, it crashed and had to get a new harddrive and lost everything I had on it.

The question I have, would the company have a record of when I purchased it and give me another copy of it? Or am I s^&t out pf luck and have to purchased a new copy?

That I don't know. I bought the CD and not just the download for that very reason.

Maybe somebody else has dealt with them over this issue. I can't believe you are in a rare situation.

Good Hunting.

Learn my lession, to always back up a download copy to a disk. I sent an email to the company and see what happens.

[CapnDarwin]

I know you guys are chomping at the bit for these things. I only have a small number of hours each evening and the weekends to get things done and the bugs and code work have out ranked the mod guides. I did get a basic level 1 PNG hex map file done yesterday and I'll be spending a fair amount of time today in Modding Guide 1.

I do thank you guys for your patience. [&o]

Since there is no random map generator I think we'll need to rely on the community pretty heavily for these. Anything to make it easier, even just a good solid tutorial will be greatly appreciated

I don't understand the comment about a tutorial. I made a map making tutorial decades ago for this game. Well, at least it seems like decades ago.

Ah, must have missed that thread, was too busy digging up the scenario campaign design stuff.
