Hey TGC ,

I was wondering , If I made a level or terrain (say geoscape/T.ED Edit) how would I be able to get it into my game ? Ive used heightmaps before , but they arent so good , And how do you export it so that the objects on it (houses , monster placing , etc) are exported with it ?

Any answers ?

And More importantly , What level editor do you use (if your not using any dont state) ?

And dont think I didnt look for any ...



In DBP - 3D is easier than 2D , 2 player is easier than Single player , Dont you think life rocks .. ?

you're better off asking the maker of which ever software you're using, as far as i know, they usually include some DB Code function to import the levels

I don't have a sig, live with it.

I have demos on the hard drive of 4-5 level/terrain editors but I haven't really decided on which one I like (purchase) because I've been too busy with other stuff....

I would also like to hear from some other people on which program they use and why!!!!

Geoscape 3d is fantastic ... in the editor

When you export it in dbp , it looks very low quality-ed and does not display the whole map unless its small .

And T.ED looks like you start editing maps on a premade one .

I agree with Skalex. 3DWS is awesome. The terrains are easy to make, and everything's good quality. I'm having some problems loading multi-layered terrains into DBPro, and get them to work. Also am I not sure whether the lightmaps are 100% complete, or if I'm just doing something wrong when loading them into DBPro...

well, 3DWS is not the problem. DBPro 5.9 seems to be the problem, let's wait for the 6.0 upgrade.
