I really dislike the Act 2 maps. Has anyone done any maps or changed any maps or even know how that map editor thing works?

Isilweo's editor seems easy to me as I have become used to it. But mostly, I just moved objects/superuniques/monsters around with the editor, I haven't done much tile changing as of yet.------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

I've not done any editting with it for the mod,but I've experimented with the editor and it really seem good only for moving different objects.Maybe copying/swaping ground tiles,too.But major changes like modifying a whole room and especially starting something from scratch seems a difficult thing,even impossible...------------------ My Supah Cool Mod will come out soon!!!And then you all will be UNEMPLOYED!!!Mwahahaha!

I suppose I'll give up that idea. Too bad.I tried to use the thing but there's no status bar or anything so I don't know what I'm moving, and there's no scrollbar so the whole thing won't fit on my screen. <Mumbles something about coders who assume everyone uses the same resolution they do...> It's cool that someone tried to make a map editor, but this thing needs some work to even be functional, let alone friendly.

Ahem *MPHG*...where are you, this editor is kind of missing things(missing ALOT of entries, all it has for Act 2 is Duriel). Btw, how do you move Ancient Kaa the Soulless when there isn't even an entry for him...------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Trial and error.Find the map that has him, select the entries that shows the monsters (Type 1). There will be 1 entry that's totally different than the others. That will most likely be him.

Heh. Damn editor crashes on me when I try to start it. All I get is a window border and then I'm back in Windows. Something might be wrong with that...  ------------------ To practice the Arts of Modding is to be Damned. To master Them is to be Victorious. -D1 manual

Mine doesn't crash but it seems 1/4 of the editor layout is cutoff completely from my monitor...even minimizing and moving the editor upwards to the top doesn't solve it. The bottom part is COMPLETELY cutoff...  ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage
