- Have a detailed plan of your terrain, otherwise you get caught up in the details and miss the bigger picture
- Save, Save and Save, do this as often as possible. Nothing hurts more than losing 2hrs work because you forgot to save
(except possibly a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick to the jaw)- Take it Step-by-Step, when you have used the point selection tool to select over 850 individual points in detailed and complex trench system, DO NOT select the carving tool to lower a small hillock because ALL of your pretty little points will de-select
- Start small, nothing like trying to add detail to a El Alamein size playing area when you haven't a clue what you are doing.
- Plan to spend a LOT of time in front of your monitor
- Add Bots, yeah right if you want to crash your system and have to do a full re-install of BF42 inc. patches and custom maps
- Take Pride in your Work, cos it took so much bl**dy effort to do it
But seriously, I hope to have my 'first draft' ready by the middle of next week, hopefully some of you will test it for me and I'll be seeking advice on improvements and tweaks.
till next time,
