Der_Fred Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Hi.. Trying to find info on how to begin making a map. The search function doesn't help much, as I'm looking for specific info on which tools one can use. I see something on EDGE and the SDK, but nothing specific on what is supposed to be or do (wading though 1000s of pages is like a needle in a haystack). If anyone has exact links, contacts or pointers, that'll be great. Thanks Van

EDGE wont be compatible with the old map format so you may want to wait till that is release. Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug**
Der_Fred Posted February 22, 2013 Author Posted February 22, 2013 Any idea when EDGE and/or SDK might be released ?
ED Team NineLine Posted February 22, 2013 ED Team Posted February 22, 2013 Any idea when EDGE and/or SDK might be released ? I would imagine the answer would be "When its done™" But seriously, I have no idea of the timeline at this point. Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug**

shagrat Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) depending on how quick you may come up with an Iraq, Kosovo,Afghanistan, hell whatever map, this community may worship you like a God that brought them Elysium! No kidding, we desperately (!) seek any new area of operations fitting for the A-10C especially, but I guess anything not Caucasus or Korea will do. :D edit: and I don't mean EDGE, a map with the "old" engine will be fine if you manage to get it into DCS World.

Weta43 Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Post EDGE, presumably the legacy map will still be supported, so any 3rd party maps made with the current SDK would still be useable... Cheers.
mjeh Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 Post EDGE, presumably the legacy map will still be supported, so any 3rd party maps made with the current SDK would still be useable... I certainly hope so! We're all sick of caucasus, but we don't want to lose it :D (also, if no legacy support then that means that any and all missions/ campaigns made before edge are obsolete)
karambiatos Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 either way a height map is a height map if you make one now youd be able to use it in any engine till the end of time most likely A 1000 flights, a 1000 crashes, perfect record. =&arrFilter_pf[gameversion]=&arrFilter_pf[filelang]=&arrFilter_pf[aircraft]=&arrFilter_DATE_CREATE_1_DAYS_TO_BACK=&sort_by_order=TIMESTAMP_X_DESC"] Check out my random mods and things
Der_Fred Posted February 23, 2013 Author Posted February 23, 2013 Thanks for the pointers, guys... A lot of reading do I (said the green guy) :)
