Thanks lch. All this time and you are the first person to peek my curiosity of the .NET tools. I will be giving it another poke when this project is finished.

(intentional pun for old programmers) :D

Re: Map Forge Preview
 

Damn... reminds me of a one line game I wrote in basic. I used peek and poke to make a self modifying program.

Ages ago.

Well I've done my part for an XXXL map being developed in the AoW2 community... at least until it's my turn again. Anyone who enjoyed AoW:Shadow_Magic and is a good map maker can still join, but there's only room for one.

Anyways I have some free time and wondering if we have an ETA for the Map Forge?

Re: Map Forge Preview
 

Still on schedule, so about a week. I am tempted to say two weeks because of how hectic life has become. Working a lot of overtime.

Re: Map Forge Preview
 

I'm not sure what that means Jedi, but it was funny I just picked up AoWSM and just looked at the mapeditor and made a map with it yesterday.

Synedoche!

Re: Map Forge Preview
 

The XXXL means extra extra extra large... the default game only offers extra large for map sizes. The mapsizer tool can be used for creating maps larger than what's available in the current game.

Re: Map Forge Preview
 

mapsizer tool? Sounds like Shadow Magic modding has come a long way. I may have to reinstall and check it out :).

Re: Map Forge Preview
 

It has been about a week and fall break is next week. Seems like a wicked awesome time to release this bad boy!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
