if you have money to burn and also planning to release the maps (i guess ppl will steal them from your client anyway).
Maybe a competition would work? post draft drawing of what you want and split what you wanted to pay for it into 3 prizes or something. just thinking aloud on off-chance no ones taken you up on the offer yet.

I think the lack of objects is part the reason no1 makes maps anymore, which is a shame.
Tho, im not even sure if players care about shanda/mir3 objects, maybe its a nice to have but no1 would particularly mind if all maps are made with the wemade original objects. Maybe my perfectionism is just paralysing me as usual.
I'd personally rather see the new maps and objects that are already out there than another custom version of Bichon province
i have this thing, were if i login and see BW I just stop playing.I'd personally rather see the new maps and objects that are already out there than another custom version of Bichon province
maps just seem to be one thing most server creators just skip, or re-use other ones, no one does custom maps anymore.
So, i dunno if players actually care what objects maps are made with. Got it in my head no point making a server unless it can all be shanda/mir3 objs lol.

You'll be there for a good few years making objects. Between Wemade Mir 2, Mir 3, and all of the various different Shanda files you're looking at tens of thousands of hours of work. Not including any of the HD or WoooL stuff. It's a mammoth of a task to create everything.
I think all the wemade mir 2 ones been done right?
Shanda 20-27 been done, just need to shanda 0-20 and 27-30 hahaha.
I mean the problem is half the objects you would probably never use but you don't know that until you make them.

That's a decent amount available but it's far from complete. You'll easily be able to make some maps with them though. And yeah, that's right, you won't use them all. There are quite a few objects that go unused in some files which is always fun to find. You wouldn't know they exist till you find them.
Yeh, im going through the wemade and shanda objects atm and i can't really see much difference in the two?
Slightly different, but it doesn't look like theres a clear quality difference?

That sentence applies across the board for the libs. A lot of blank spaces in libs such as Items/DnItems.

I can't say I've ever seen a decent map from Chinese packs. Some Shanda ones are quite bad with their attributes :S
Thats easy to fix tho.
Would help if we had a decent mapmaker, not sure what the best crystal map maker is?
Im using this one - https://www.lomcn.net/forum/threads/xiyue-mapeditor-akaras-mod-updated-by-m2p.106376/
But its so hard to view objects before placing them and it keeps crashing and you cant zoom in/out >< and there doesn;'t seem to be any source for it.

There are tons of maps on there that havent been used.
Yeah you need to filter through the bad with the good, but there are some beauty maps on there!
Granted its hard to find exactly what you are after if you have a vision, but yeah they aren't expensive to mess around with!

I haven't used any of the recent released map editors so I couldn't tell you which is best. All I'd say is to try familiarise yourself with the limitations the editor has and try to work around them. Save regularly. That's what I've had to do with every editor since they are all far from perfect.
Have you got any examples of good chinese maps that use original objects? I don't think I've seen one.
given up, map editors not really fit for purpose.
Need to find an old 2.3 client and just make them using shortys map editor.
the map editor is really disappointing, just piecing together objects it's crashed 3 times in the space of 20 minutes
