Map and Terrain
I am creating an MMORPG and I was wonder how do I make the terrain into a crooked shaped terrain not a large square?
Also I was wonder how can I add a mini map to my screen so I know where I'm going?
"I am creating an $$anonymous$$$$anonymous$$ORPG"... cringe
Every other noob want to make an $$anonymous$$$$anonymous$$O. Even small $$anonymous$$$$anonymous$$O's take huge amounts of time from large groups of talented individuals with years and years of experience. I HIGHLY recommend you start small and do some tutorials and smaller projects first and slowly build your way up.
Questions that start with "I am creating an $$anonymous$$$$anonymous$$ORPG" don't tend to get many answers because the more experienced/knowledgeable people on this site know how futile it is.
Not trying to be mean, sometimes the truth needs to be blunt.
I've done plenty of games before (I've done 3 FPS, 1 Fighting, and 2 Shoot Em Up's) Now that I've gathered half the computer class in my school I want to create an $$anonymous$$$$anonymous$$ORPG.
The question seems far too basic for that to sound plausible. Either way what I stated above still holds true. If you had the skills/knowledge to even remotely have a chance at making an $$anonymous$$$$anonymous$$O, you wouldn't be asking how to make a $$anonymous$$i-map or how to deform a plane.
^ Agreed, also in an optimal $$anonymous$$$$anonymous$$O, you'd want the terrain to be so big the user can't see the edges, so it doesn't matter what shape it's in. Unless you planned for hundreds of people to play in a small box.
