Default Re: new maps? or old maps?

@PashaDawg:
I think Targa (like the game developers, and many of us) uses GIMP. GIMP is free, GIMP is powerful, GIMP is a pain in the ASCII to learn. Its a programmers paint program.

But you can really use any paint program you are comfortable with. Even if it wont do TGA files its easy to get a free program to convert in and out of TGA.

@ Stab West:
We looked into it but it wasnt something that would be easy. What you can do is take one of the maps and cut it in half, then switch the positions of the two sections so that what was the middle is now the outer edges. Then edit the new middle so that the terrains and borders connect. If you want to do it north-south also then do the same splitting it across. Thats hard to describe but it does work.
