[thefinalrune]

Just got a new demo finished showing off some clever uses for the map editor. Download the file here (http://www.maximummemory.com/files/20340_22467_RPGM2__Map_665524.max) from codejunkies directly.

Get the details on the demo here (http://doansdomain.proboards27.com/index.cgi?board=TheFinalRune&action=display&thread=1189440058).

I just saw this on the mag. Very neat stuff.

[thetruecoolness]

Impressive as always. I'll play around with a bit tomorrow, and likely convert it to a PS3 save since I'll be doing that anyway since I don't use my PS2 much now that I have my PS3.

Map Editor Demo, now in PS3 format

Remember to put this in PS3/EXPORT/PSV folder of your USB drive.

And all the maps were pretty well done. I'm curious as to why when you zoom out things get darker, though that might be a PS3 thing since that's what I tried it on. But yeah the waterfall was pretty cool, and the ice bridge too. I just wish the maps were longer because they're just so nice looking. But yes you continue to show what maps should look like on RPGM2.

[Draygone]

He uses black fog to help make less ugly the sudden edge of the draw distance.

[thefinalrune]

Yeah, Draygone has it right. Most the maps in the demo feature fog. In cave, ice, lava, mountain, desert, and forest maps I use a varying degree of fog (usually from 40-60%) to further increase the player immersion into the map.

And congratulations and thank you TTC, as far as I know, you are the first person to actually play my demo.
