Good idea I don't know if it would be easy though to make an "easy" map maker.

Here are some suggestions of mine:
- make performance as good as possible
- make animations as realistic as possible
- make gun sounds as good as possible

Please consider that TWI! Would be so great for the game!

Well you can make maps the easy way that a lot of people did, basically just copy & paste things from stock maps in different positions...

It isen't, and it woulden't really be worthwhile for this game anyway.

EZ-Mapping tools work best for simple arcade games, think TrackMania or LittleBigPlanet, something that has a simple artstyle, and where it doesen't really matter is the maps look very similar, because it's all about the gameplay.


RO2 is not that kind of game, it's a game that relies heavilly on player immersion, the maps need to look like real places as much as possible, so stock terrains and copy-pasted decorations and buildings just aren't going to cut it, it's just never going to come clouse to what a skilled mapper can do with the full editor, the standard RO2 maps, and maps build with the full editor would just be so much better than any EZ-made map, that nobody would bother playing the EZ ones, making the whole thing pointless, and a massive waste of development time.

With good coop every map could essentially be played.

I always wanted to see in RO random map generator where trees, bushes etc are placed differently every time and so that admin could also set how dense vegetation and how big hills on the map would be. With that there would be bigger chance to be taken by surprise and you could expect enemy anywhere. That would be great especially for tank servers.

pariah, which was a technically ok but lackluster scifi shooter on unreal 2 engine, actually shipped with some kinda of custom editor where you could shape the terrain and place and manipulate objects with a custom menu rather than in the unreal editor.
made it more straightforward i guess
