which one?
hi, could anyone post what they think is the best editor / tool for making maps? I want to start making maps and i dont know what editor to use....
Many people suggest to start with a simple texteditor to make maps.
Once you feel comfortable with that you could move on to a 3D Modeler such as Wings3D or Blender

When I started mapping, I used BZedit to try a few things with simple box and pyramid maps.
Nowadays I use Notepad almost exclusively to make my maps.

Re: bzworkbench
BZWorkbench isn't completed; at this point, you might as well use BZEdit, since that's about the level it's at.MDSKPR wrote:Would bzworkbench be good?
Anyway, you probably won't find one tool that will do everything for you. You're going to end up using a 3D modeler like Wings3D or Blender, and then export the models to OBJ (and convert them to BZW with modeltool) or BZW with the Wings3D exporter plugin. You'll then merge this into your map file via a standard text editor.
