What I don't appreciate is personal snipes and wasting my time. If you knew where the place was, don't ask others to find it for you to prove an imaginary point. The point is far from imaginary. Nor was there a personal snipe at anyone. What you said about the money and the time, may have been an off hand remark to you, but it can keep gamers with 3 books in their library from even thinking about making scenarios. I fight that fight all the time with new scenario designers. quote:
If you may have noticed, I'm trying to redo the trees for this game (amongst other things). This is a LARGE job and takes LOTS of time. It's less than fun, and I have little free time left for a while. I know that your aware that I've posted in that thread. Nothing is more valuable than free time. That's my own quote. I'm well aware of the value we put on what we give away. quote:
To be sent on a wild goose chase for your entertainment is...not cool, friendo. Sorry you choose to look at that as a wild goose chase. It certainly wasn't for my entertainment. I said I knew where it was. I wanted to see if there was enough detail to do a historical map. The one thing that came out of it, for me, is exactly one of my main points. There is, from what I've seen, no possible way to do a map of that village for a scenario. The best I ever saw was a single line. Now back to the discussion that started this tread in the first place....how is that going to be historical? How is map maker going to make that okay? I don't think it can. I'm not on some kind of vendetta attack here on map maker. My one and only statement about map maker concerning historical scenarios is that it is only as good as your ability to find the locations you're looking for. If you can't map maker can't magically conjure it up for you. quote:
I have little patience for wasting time in any aspect of my life. I was attempting to help you so that you could do some work on one of your scenarios. That's an abuse of my good will towards you. To find out that this all was to "prove a point" is well, pointless. Well since you didn't know what my goal was I'm very interested to see that you know it's all pointless. I consider all the help a great assist in this particular scenario. As I said from what I see I'll more than likely use the map you directed me to a blowtorch scenarios. If you look you'll see some HSG scenarios on that site as well. quote:
As to your basic premise that the map maker can't find the exact position of battles, I believe through experience that it does a very good job. Will there be things it can't do, sure. I made a terrain map of your battle area last night in about 10 minutes. The actual height of the area of the town. Like I said before, closer is better than farther as far as terrain goes. If you made a map that was 1k off from the actual locale rather than 10k, that's pretty good to me. To not learn it as a scenario designer is an unfortunate decision. That's all for me for a while. That's all for me on this subject period. Good Hunting. MR
