Plenty to watch out for :) Usually the company will stick you with a 2-year contract and "give" you a phone for $50-$200. Just make sure that whatever plan you get (minutes and all) is exactly what you want/need. If you need to change it later, it's highly likely that they will make you renew...

And the moment we've all (or at least ... maybe ... someone) has been waiting for! The beta for FreeCountry. (Updated the picture at the top to reflect changes ... notice how the tokens appear over the lines :P) Map saving, loading, and exporting completely done (barring any additional format on...

I decided to postpone the release of the next update till I finish the proper load/save and export options. People could test it, and it would work for tiles, but nobody wants to re-position / rotate / scale all those tiles over and over, I'm sure :) I estimate about another hour or two before...

@Henry - Heeey, my brotha from anotha motha! Thanks for the support and praise :D @Lord Tirian - Thanks :) I want this to be a strong community-supported program. User tiles quite welcome! @Firzair - :cool: Thank you! I would like to sell some tiles to make some money off the effort and time...

/me does a little dance. Almost done with the token add / remove / lock and unlock features! Next up is the save/load and export. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel :P

Added a download link at the top ... and here (Download the Alpha) I re-iterate, this isn't hardly finished, and it requires .NET 2.0 Framework and the newest DirectX download from Microsoft's site. Now, a few particulars before I get a ton of "bug" reports :) 1.) The cursor's possessed...

Scatter Distance causes an drawing offset that's random and scale is size of the drawn tile. So when you have the scatter option enabled, the tile will buzz around the mouse pointer offseting at random X and Y coordinates (between the value you set).

I'm eagerly anticipating it too :D I added another pic at the top, to show off the newly acquired grid snapping. The scatter distance was added to, so you can choose the maximum distance (in pixels) of your scattering paint option.

Nah, my friend, it's free. I will, however, be accepting donations from the people who find it useful :) I may sell some tile collections for it later, but Round 1 of tiles will be included, for free.

I did an experiment with my water tile (I think it turned out well) Updated the picture at the top. I apologize for the stray cobblestone there, it's the preview-tile where my cursor was ... it just didn't screencap the cursor too. This one is sans-grid, to show that it is indeed an option if...

Hello Heruca, The reason I haven't thought to do that is because I've defined folders as Categories (Spells, FX, Terrain, etc) in the code. Even if the folders for different sized tiles were inside categories, they would have to be parsed in a specific manner. I'll think about this some more as...

I'm having to implement an odd system for custom tile pics. All images that get loaded need to have a size suffix added to the file name. DirectX won't load textures properly unless they're 128x128/256x256/512x512 etc etc, unless you tell it what size you want to load. The only way to automate...

Thanks for the support Ferghis :D I enjoy doing stuff if I think it'll be helpful. Thanks for the heads-up heruca, I forgot I had removed it. It's current state was not something that was stable enough for release, so It may remake it in c# to iron out the problems I was having (and that I'm...

Otherland series, by Tad Williams It's a wonderful near-future sci-fi. Four books, though, lol. I'm half way through the second one, and I can't put the thing down.

I'm hoping to try and make it a necessity for the DM who wants great results without too much effort. The best way I could think to do that is to make what I think it should be (and would want), release it to the critics (you guys :D) and take/add the suggestions / fix bugs till it's something...

Already got the toggle :) And thanks for reminding me! The water tiles would be what I'm currently missing (as far as a sampler tile pack goes)

Thanks Frukathka! Is there anything in other mapping software that you guys see as a "must-have"? I could use all the suggestions I can get right now :) I'm almost done with the free-form paint side of the program. All that's left is to scaling options, override rotations, scatter distance, and...

This is made in C# with DirectX, which means that it will be Windows-Only, and there's little to nothing I can do about that since it's in using Microsoft's .NET Framework. When it's done, users will have to have the .NET 2.0 Framework and the latest DirectX downloaded/installed from Microsoft's...

I have a DFI Lan Party UT nF4 SLI-DR Expert motherboard. It rocks out loud. I got a 650W power supply because of the SLI setup, and haven't had any problems yet. Looks like a pretty good lineup, though.
