Maybe rather than rewritting the handbook we can make something new. Like the map makers bible? Where everything can be explained in long posts.


Strange, sounds like an FAQ or something very similar would help a lot...

maybe you could have a quick "overview" at the top, then a long winded version at the bottom?

i would like to ask the removal of the "no paint allowed" rule.

if somebody is capable and willing to do something of quality in paint then i don't see why a rule should stop him.

I assume it's there so less newbies get the idea that paint will get them through the foundry process. Now, if someone is really good at paint and wants to make a map, I think the mods would make an exception as long as the map's drafts are as high a quality as other maps on the site. I doubt this will ever happen though.

So, are those edits gonna be added to the handbook, or should we make a few more changes first?

OF COURSE!

j/k.... You wouldn't be able to make a good image in kid pix even if you tried to. You'd end up with a bunch of copy-paste images and some rainbowy lines :roll:
