Making maps

[besweeet]

Aren't maps hard to make? I just tried to make a skycoaster but have no idea how they're made... Do people use a different map editor or something? That'd be cool if there was a 2D-style map editor, like the way RCT works. That'd be beast.

What's a skycoaster?

And no, people use MTA's built-in map editor to make maps.

Then again, no. Maps aren't hard to make. Maybe the hard part is to not get pissed when the editor bugs on you xD (as it is a bit unstable hence the constant MTA updates)

I completely agree. Rollercoaster thing doesn't work for me. And if it does, then it's all gone when I reload it. It is pure crap.

But if you dont know how to control precise the objects you will make shit loops.

You have to use this one too: only one cp bug patch http://www.mediafire.com/?yunmzzhy3bd

Extract and copy the dumpxml.lua and saveloadtest_server.lua files in this folder MTA San Andreas\server\mods\deathmatch\resource-cache\unzipped\editor_main\server\

This is one of the best coaster map: http://community.mtasa.com/index.html?p=resources&s=details&id=671

I forgot something. Good mappers made some old loop, coaster map with map editor. They did not use a separate program. So it's possible, only much time and patience are needed for it. For example: loop the loop reloaded
