[DFX2] Howdy, Hello and How Do!!

[OlderStreetrat]

I'm an old DF player, beginning back with BHD. I was in a couple of squads until they decided to switch to different games, yadda yadda yadda. Finally I just gave up on on the game and pursued other interests. Until last week when I ran across my DFX2 game. I put 'er in the ole' computer, did an update and needless to say, I fell in love all over again.

I know the game isn't anywhere near as popular as it once was, that's to be expected I guess, but I still adore the game and I'm glad to see a lot of the old squads still around.

Anyway, My handle was/is StreetRat. I have built many maps in my day for just about every level of play. Since I reconnected with the game, I have built a couple little maps, nothing to them really, just fooling around.

I use Google Sketchup a lot and I would love to be able to put houses and things from it into DFX2 if that's possible, not to mention I'm dying to learn how to MOD. I have some ideas I'd like to try but I don't know where to start.

Any ideas or help would be very much appreciated!
