What programs are needed to make maps? I know there's a program at the official site, and I'm about to go download that, but are there any other programs like that? What about programs to make prefabs? Or sites with prefabs? Anything? Thanks in advance for any help here.

I have another questions that popped into my head when I saw the screenshots for Scorpio's new map (the one with the two other guys, but I sadly forget their names, sorry). Is it possible to have an AI enemy in a TDM map? Just a computer-controlled enemy that shoots at anyone that walks by it, and aauto-spawns after a certain amount of time. Is this possible? If it is, would you know of any place I could get directions on how to make it possible? If it's not, then is there anything similar that I can do? Perhaps leave out the auto-spawn thing, but still have the AI guy in there?

Thanks for any help. I know I'm probably asking for too much, but I want to make some maps for everyone else to enjoy, so I hope some people help me and enjoy later.

You can find about all the mapping information to start here:

About the AI in TDM maps: I think it 's possible because I once downloaded a MP map with dogs in it, allthough I haven't tested it yet I'm pretty sure it 'll work, cause if it works with dogs, it will too with soldiers.

Go to www.mohradiant.tk. Most of the things you will need to know in the map making business are there. You'll need a compiler to basicly transform the map you did on the map makin software to what the map will actually look like on MOHAA. You can get a compiler at this site, or it's community sites.

Those questions you asked about the AI in TDM and the other one could be possible, but as far as I know, there are no tutorials for that stuff except just plain AI in singleplayer maps.

Before you get all crazy about making maps and stuff, it isn't as easy as you might think. There's a lot of reasons why, so I'll just let you find out how hard it is for yourself and see what you think.

But I hope some of the info I gave you helps a little, in the mean time, have fun with your future mapping. cool:

Thanks for the quick help, you two. I know mapping is very difficult, but I'm unexperienced and idealistic, so I can pretend I can do everything. Heh, I know I'll come across a lot of problems, but I hope I'll be able to find help on this forum and on other sites.

Thanks again. If anyone else has anything to add, please do.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. Unfortunately I haven't been able to even start messing around with the programs due to social stuff, but I wrote up a basic little plan for a map, and I'm hoping the stuff I wrote down is possible. I'll find out soon enough, huh?

Heh, thanks.
