Will there be an API released for creating maps?

[112th_Rossi]

Or is it possible at the moment?

[Aginor]

Unfortunately the answer to both of your questions is "no".

 

The only way to get the tools is apply as a third party.

Like Aginor said they are not freely available. If you consider yourself good at it you may apply to ED to create maps for them. The criteria are as follows.

 

In order to be granted a 3rd party map developer license, you will first need to demonstrate the following:

1- Proficiency in 3DS Max with examples of work.

2- Ability to create quality terrain textures with examples of work. Textures need to range from 1 meter per pixel to 64 meters per pixel.

3- Access to high resolution elevation mesh and satellite textures. Elevation mesh needs to be between 4 to 8 meters per pixel minimum.

4- Ability to create high quality 3D objects with examples of work.

5- A development plan of what you have in mind.

All this can be submitted to Wags
