Makeing Maps??? - RunUO

ok i have started to hear lots about new regions on new maps reuiring players to download patches to see the map, and i was wondering how you make these new maps that are completly bare(all black) and become massive world building tasks any info on it would be great

you use a 3rd party program that allows you to make the custom maps

like UO landscaper (OrBSydia DevNet - Making Dreams Into Reality - http://www.orbsydia.ca but only the download is available right now - he is redisigning the web site - so no support for now)
or world forge, and others

but basicaly you create your map using special colors in a bit map program, then that bitmap is imported into a different program that converts it into the map - then you have to go in and fine tune it, etc
it sounds easier than it realy is
there are certain boundries that have to be followed, sizes, etc - and the colors have to match right, and other things

then once you have your map, you then have to build the regions, cities, etc all from scratch

it is a big undertaking, but worth it in the end, when you get what you want
(i would plan on at least 6 month work [more than a couple of hours a day] to do a map from concept to finish)

the site must be down again - he had it up with at least the down loads - so not sure what is going on right now - but that is the best place for it

try it agin later or tomorrow - it normaly does not stay down for long
