Hi Everyone! :-) I'm looking for ideas from experienced zone builders on how to map HUGE HUGE geographical structures (eg. a mountain that would require, maybe, 10 - 20 zones to write). The present method used by our team is to create structures no larger than 5 zones or so (eg. a large town) and map it using ASCII characters. Maps like this require no more columns of characters than most screen wrap settings. But now, we are starting to build the mountain on which the the town rests. Presently, I'm breaking the map into sectors which each can be ASCII mapped in about one page. Is there any method anyone knows of which can put all the sectors in one file/screen for everyone to share (maybe using some other editor than text)? I dunno... just looking around. Any ideas? Thanks. Have fun today!
