Trying to find some mapping software

[der_kluge]

Years ago, I used to use a mapping software package that was tile-based, and super easy to use. You could even create your own .bmp tiles and import them, so you had limitless options.

I can't seem to find it anywhere, and I don't remember what it was called. This ring a bell with anyone?

I'm finding a lot of map-making software out there (a lot of it web-based, which I don't require), but all of it seems to suffer from vast amounts of learning curve, or is way overly complicated from what I want. I just want a simple, tile-based drag/drop thing that I can use to build simple maps of dungeons or houses, or whatnot.

Help!

Hmmm....

A little vague,
Any idea who produced it, and you know?
A.... Little more details, just a little more.

I'll search though my old dungeon magazines to find out anything, i'll keep you updated

I'm wondering if it's an old version of this:

Dungeon maps for RPG. Create maps online, download as PDF and PNG.

Dungeon Painter is a powerful rpg map design tool. Scene Viewer is a free encounter mapping tool that you can embed into forum or blog posts

pyromancers.com

It seems somewhat familiar. But the old version I had was probably free, and probably no longer available.

Yes. Probably.
The old windows and stuff are long long gone.
The core system has been changed awhile back. What your looking for probably is now nonexistence

Dundjinni?

It's probably not the one you used , but arkenforge is great, here's a video with a few mapmaking examples for it

AutoRealm? AutoREALM

 

[der_kluge]

AutoRealm looks super complicated, and really ugly. Definitely not.

No, I think it must have been a very old windows-based version of Dungeon Painter that I had. Unfortunately, it seems, I no longer have it.

I also use Tiamat The Tile Mapper from time to time. It's good for simple things. The interface is a little clunky.

Has anyone tried Wonderdraft? I was thinking of picking it up. It is supposed to be easy to use, which is what I need, since I have the visual art skills of a color-blind chimp.
