Default Scenario creation Poll

If there was clear documentation on creating Scenarios Campaigns how interested would you be in having a go at it.
Please be honest & bear in mind even if you know what you are doing this will take a big chunk of your time as it will still probably be slightly hit & miss. You have to build maps buy deploy set waypoints & test test test.
You are not going to get a result in an afternoon requires some commitment on your behalf.

Default Re: Scenario creation Poll

I used to like to think I was a decent mapmaker till I saw Marek's work. Now, I feel so inferior.

What is the intent of the poll? Are you looking to assemble some designers for a project? I know there are very few who would ever be willing to jump into the design process out there which is why I would like to see another group effort on a project like the ANZAC Campaign. Just assemble some map makers, designers and playtesters and have at it where everyone works on the scenarios based on their design strengths.

As for myself I'm still neck deep (and probably over my head) in my own "work" (that by now most must think is more myth then fact) on the USMC OOB.

Agree love his maps wish I could do to the same standard they really add something to the game. There are a few other good map makers out there to.

To early for me to get involved in a project I would be more of a hinderance than help.
Did think it was worth a feeler to see if people would be intreasted in at least helping with testing maps etc to get a general feel for intrest which seems to be low.
Does not really surprise me.
I am learning stuff from my other post & if intrest was shown would at least do a blow by blow on the best way to start.
As in think small
Buy both sides
Blah blah
But takes time to put out in clear format rather than for own use so unless intrest was shown won't bother.

Said in the other post but yes the ANZAC project was something else me I am just playing by comparison.

Confused Re: Scenario creation Poll

Hi all, came here from a link in SPWW2 thread. I love to do maps and create scenarios and campaigns. I don't have that much background on SPMBT and SPWW2, but I have just ordered SPWW2 and have been playing and designing maps on SPWaW ( now on ver 8.04) for many years. Maybe someone here could explain the compatability of all of these games. I understand that they are basically the same, using files (.shp) between them.

Sorry if this isn't the proper place for this question.

Maps will not be compatable more than a case of diffrent hex tiles.

Question Re: Scenario creation Poll

Well, I guess I'll just have to start from scratch or see if there's a way to import files into the game. Do Fred Chlanda's (SPWaW) editors work on SPWW2 maps? AND are the MBT maps compatabile with the WW2 maps?

Sorry for all the questions, but I'll be waiting a few days for the game to arrive. I just thought I'd try to get a 'head start' on things until it gets here.

Default Re: Scenario creation Poll

While I am interested in creating maps, scenarios and even campaigns, I don't feel like I have the time to do it all, let alone learn all the tricks of the trade. I'm also fairly new to a lot of the game and have only started reacently (last week) to branch out of AI games and generated battles into more user stuff and so feel like I have a ways to go.
