The map is ready, Mh. Can I have your email address, it is 109k zipped.

[m@tt]

Send it in a personal message to me, or email me (look on my profile). I'll look at it, see if its good enough, make necessary changes etc.

Whatever:

Alrighty! So, after a lot of patience by mh_gollum and some computer problems, I have finished (mostly) a map of Harad! Without further ado, here it is:

I realize there is some room for improvement, so any suggestions would help a ton.

And I apologize for not having any in-game screenshots, my game crashes every time I click skirmish mode. I've already tried re-installing.

let me guess... you've played a mod that has a faction that's not in the vanilla BFME? That's why it crashes when you go to Skirmish Delete your profiles too

your map is pretty good imo could be better textured, but hey... dunno how long you've been a mapper

[Uruk King]

Good one, man, high five! *high fives Alsch*

And about the map, it's really awesome, I like the oasis particularly, Although I was thinking about some more large hills representing dunes, but the bit of Brown Sand in the North west corner stands out a bit, mabye if you could blend it with some other sand textures, everything else is really impressive

[Olorin]

As Uruk King has already stated, very impressive. I can't wait to see some screenies.

[Uruk King]

Mh, I#m having a bit of a problem. Every time I play a skirmish on the costom maps, about 3/4s of the actual map is on screen. the rest of it is off the map. I am also designing an Eastern Lorien map. described as "where the Fellowship meets the forest". The Carn Dum map is almost complete, and the Fornost map has been converted into ruins. trouble is, when I do reduce them to ruins, they're automatically on fire, and i doubt that the fires which razed Fornost could keep burning for 2,000 years.

There is an orange square going around the map. That is the map border, so so have to have everything in that square. To increase it, first increase the size of the map using File >> Resize, then use the border tool. You should always have an area outside the border.

I'll join. up if you still need mappers.

Glad to see some familiar faces from back in the day, 2playgames, & Aridor Arthain (poster above). I've been waiting for this mod to come out for way to long. I've been having some trouble with WorldBuilder lately (I haven't mapped for a while), but if you guys need anything let me know.
If the map you are talking about is for this Aridor, I had started a map before I stopped playing that was pretty cool, it was kind of like Greg Famec's Ranger of Gondor, & I think it would be pretty cool for this mod.
