Heck did you know that currently the "map" editor is just another integrated part of the Resourcer development tool? Its not even anything like the old map editor you remember.
Lets just dumb it down to what your asking..
You want the map editor back, that is obvious. but lets look at the other side of the table, we got the developers and coders here with the decisions they made.
When 1.484 was beta the dev's looked
Why was the map editor not updated: It would require some one to do it.
Who would benefit from the update: People almost never used it.
Where there problems with the editor: Some exploits and instability.
When development got as far as 1.500 they saw that the map editor was old, and inside the resourcer tool they could make maps as well, not as point-click easy, but not that hard either.
Now where three years later then Beta 1.484 finally after a lot of work we got a community back to where I finally stopped bothering to wave or ask every new kid in DS how they are.
The map editor is gone and you are looking back at the past because of ?? and notice the map editor, you want it back well i tell you the following.
If you want it back, some code developer will have to work on it to either update the old one or write a complete new one.
...... waste of time in my eyes. and no we can't just cut it out of the resourcer tool......
Where were you november 2006 when i said
I was sceptical but realistically predicting when i said that. and guess what i was only one bit wrong..
It would be 500 not 484.
