I'm sure I read some where that they would be providing both programs, so you can chose which one you like best.

You can currently use NILE or MED to make maps.

Yeah, I get the same problem. Also the T80 has no sound when the gun shoots, but has sound when the round hits.

If the editor is more like BHD than im going to buy the game just for map making. I've gotten so use to the older map editors that nile is just too hard and I don't feel like learning a new way of making maps

N.I.L.E makes you able to make the maps looking better. Much easyer to add stuff In buildings etc. then with the old MED. Too bad the N.I.L.E in DFX conflicts with the N.I.L.E in JO:TR and JO:E, makes me realy angry.

RollEyes Throw NILE into the Nile

As I see it, the N.I.L.E. is a concept-copy of the Far Cry editor, which requires 999 Gbytes of RAM at 999 TerraHertz to operate. Nice concept, but too heavy for most home systems.

Also, I think the user interface is awkward. I use CAD systems all day long... and I despise the NILE.

The MED is just fine for me! It's quick... which is important when I've got a spontaneous idea for a scenario. Remember- I'm not a game programmer... I don't make maps from story-boards and development meetings- I come home from work, turn the MED on, knock out a new map, and then get my A** kicked when I play it. Quick and clean... no time for NILE.

Thanks, NL, for the MED... havin' a ball!

Like I said- I use a CAD system all day long to design machinery. Bing-bang: wireframe in minutes to 12 decimal places. That's how I see the MED.

The NILE, on the other hand, will probably appeal to those who use rendering software, like 3dMax, etc. It's a different approach and it's what game designers are used to. It's a different perspective.

To me, X is left-right; Y is forward-backward; Z is up-down... just like back in school. But, NILE sez Z is in-out, etc: it's the relativity thing.

When I design, I look for functionality... I leave the pretty rendering up to the folks who do the brochures. Same with making maps... NL has already (I thank you) supplied the renderings... I just wanna make it functional and do it quickly, I don't care about doing a camera walk-thru... I've already visualized it.

So---------- can we keep both? Huh? Can we? Can we?

How about a nice, official translator so we can bounce between the two editors? Hey NL- I'D PAY NICE BUCKS FOR A DELTA FORCE MAP DEVELOPER'S PACKAGE. (Hint, hint.)

(Gawd- what a ramble that turned out to be. Sorry.)

Plain

At present I have both, but I fail to see why NL didn't just improve the original editor. It seems to me that with so many people already used to the program it would've been a little more welcome than a whole new learning curve.

Perhaps that's just me though.
