PROJECT HAS BEEN UPDATED: CHECK IT OUT!
This is a project I did a few months back.. I didn’t see many mud map editors that I could use overall, alot of them were basic ASCII editors, or didn’t work on 64 bit processors because of the removal of support for 16 bit applications. I tend to help out in a MUD based games as well.
REQUIRES .NET FRAMEWORK 3.5 <– Should come with Vista/Win 7.. If you need it, you can get it at the microsoft website here.
My map designer should be pretty handy for builders and people who just like to plot out mud maps in general. I’ve made it so you can add and change the map icons it uses on the fly, so it is suitable for any game.. There are two current icon sets, “Kaos”, and “Basic”. Feel free to add more and post them! By default, the render screen is rendered in “Normal”, and the export map options is rendered in “High”. You can change both at any time in the options.
Here are the features worth saying:
-You can save, load, or export maps. You can export maps into one of the following image types: PNG, GIF, JPG, BMP, or TIF.
-Export & Render Options to make the map stand out more with cleaner graphics/smoother design!
-W/S/D/A keys for generic map placement.
-Ability to make large maps. Use the right mouse to pan the screen.
-Ability to resize current view from 35% to 150%.
-Map different levels in the same map file! This means you can level something large, such as towers with multiple room levels or basements.
-Swap specific levels around!
-Add special room ‘auroras’ to make a specific room stand out.
-Add labels, color them, size them.
-Add room locks (Using the SHIFT + W/S/D/A key)
-You can disable/enable draw mode to move around without drawing!
-Full use of mouse control.
-Quick slot keys for icons! Set with Shift+NUMBER. Use with just selecting a number from 0-9. You can also use the scroll mouse or < and > keys to adjust current icon (Or just select it!)

This is a very well done program. One bit of feedback. It would be awesome if you could add intermediate directions. Northeast, Northwest, etc.
Most MUDs tend to have the 8 directions, or 10 if you count up and down.
This is brilliant, just what I needed for my Mud I was making
Thanks so much
Hey! This is an awesome program – thanks for sharing!
Quick question: How do you add the auras around grids and change the label size/colors? The help menu says “” but I can’t seem to get it. Thanks!
Select the block and click > or < on your keyboard. You can change label colors this way too.
I’m pretty sure that Orbit’s etniidg MS’s books these days. I have no idea what else is going on there. It was one of my main issues I never knew what was going on and I got left holding the bag too often.
Wow, I think you will be a great OB. It seems like you have a real love for children, failimes, and people in general. Sad to say that those qualities are rare traits in todays world. I believe not just anyone should be in just any job because you could be in a job that you hate and end up making everyone who comes in contact with you at work miserable. You have the joy and care to be great at your job and effect those you will be working around not only by your knowledge , but by your love for what you do.
Hi Frankie,Don’t take that mother’s words seiurosly. She’s so selfish and impolite!You have many fans to support you. Wish you all the best in the New Year Shirley
Hey Chris – thanks for the quick response! I think you may have changed the code in the available version on the program. scrolls through the selected tiles in the left panel and to change aura and label colors is done through: [ and ] as I discovered through trial and error.
Hey Rob, interesting, I need to test this out but cannot until I am back home. May of blundered something or somethings up with the keymap, I’ll check it out though when I get a chance. Thanks for letting me know however!
Hi Mark,Great website. Hope you are doing okay after your acnidect and staying on the road. Dan, my partner, and I met you in Aqaba when you were traveling to Egypt the next day. We were living in Damascus at the time.It’s been a crazy few months since but we have just been evacuated from Syria due to the troubled politics there. So we have decided not to go back but get on our bikes and do a tour too. We are going to start by heading to Paris then Gijon in Northern Spain. We were very inspired by you.Finally found your card where I put it at the time we chatted in my travel scrabble set. Good to see.Take careBeth and Dab
Didn’t know the forum rules allowed such brilliant posts.
I couldn’t agree more about giriatrecs. I miss sitting with some of the elderly individuals I used to help and they would tell me stories for hours about the things that they witness when they were younger, and the lives that they lived up to the point that they needed care. I have always felt that the elderly know how to live their lives better than anyone, and they for sure never take it for granted! Sometimes the people taking care of them are not good people though, and it always breaks my heart to see someone talking badly to an elderly man or woman.I like how you made a switch from little tiny babies that have no real experience with life, to elderly men and women who have lived life to its fullest and still have more life to share with others. Such opposites!
Hey, very nice website. I actually came across Hotels freeze new Samui expansions | samuilink.com on Bing, and I am happy I did. I will definately be coming back here more often. Wish I could add to the conversation and bring a bit more to the table, but am just absorbing as much info as I can at the moment. Thank You
This is the correct weblog for anybody who desires to seek out out about this topic. You understand a lot its virtually onerous to argue with you (not that I really would need…HaHa). You undoubtedly put a new spin on a subject thats been written about for years. Great stuff, simply great!
Took me time to read all the feedback, hoeewvr I actually loved the piece of writing. It proved to be exceedingly useful to me as well as I am positive to all the commenters at this juncture! It is always excellent when you cannot only learn, but additionally engaged! I am certain you had pleasure writing this article. Anyhow, in my language, there regularly are not much high-quality source resembling this.
Sara,I have question.My hair color is dark brown/black. I want to dye my hair into dark red / bruugndy. I don’t want to bleaching my hair.I want to use permanent dye. I live in Indonesia. Commonly available brands are L’oreal and Garnier. Do you have any suggestions, what color suit me? And which products are right for me and should I use?I also want to have a few streaks/highlights in my hair with bright colors. Such as blonde, or whatever fits.I don’t know if it matters, but my skin is yellow Asia. So it might be to adjust the color of my hair.Thank you so much

Hi, I left a message on the kaos forums, but thought I’d ask here too. Downloading this file seems to get me a corrupted copy. I have the framework set up and such, but running the installation executable gets me this message:
The setup files are corrupted. Please obtain a new copy of the program.
It doesn’t seem that there are any alternative mirrors for this program. I’ve tried installing as an administrator and cannot adjust the compatibility — it seems to be locked.
Great program! Are you planning on adding 8-direction support?
By 2012年8月12日 – 9:34 AMviagraThere are certainly a lot of deitals like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing wil
Hey man, I just wanted to thank you. I was looking for a simple and easy mapper to use since I am not one of those people who plays muds and knows alot about complex scripting (required for installing/making a mapper for a specific mud). This is really simple and clean and it looks nice. I just want to say kudos for making a niche little program and having the coolness-factor to put it out there. You’d be surprised that there are basically no other programs like this, or if they are they are either overly complex or overly simple. You hit the sweetspot. Thanks again. And yeah, I would encourage you to keep developing this.
I took it out of the Valley. Was in Pioneer Square in a tight parking space. We ncitoed 4 homeless guys standing around, smiling and talking. They actually helped us get the truck parked without hitting a pole. We bought their breakfast! So simple goal is to follow my heart and look for opportunities to give a little every day. Nancy
And I was just wondering about that too!
Now that’s sutelb! Great to hear from you.
This is way more helpful than anything else I’ve looked at.
The type of physician I would like to work for is a Pediatrician. Pediatrician’s salpicety is to work with children. I have been working with children for a long time mainly because I work at a daycare facility. I’ve got to a point where I feel like I can handle anything that will come my way with them. It would also leave me feeling good at the end of the day to know that I have helped in some way to make a child feel better.The type of physician I would not care to work for is a Epidemiologist. Epidemiologist’s specialize in epidemics caused by infections agents and also work with sexually transmitted diseases. I feel if I were to work in this type of salpicety I would be putting my self at risk of exposure to these infectious agents. Also I would be focusing a lot of my time on trying to not get infected instead of having a steady mind on what I was actually supposed to be doing.
Why are there no NW,NE,SW,SE inputs?
I’ve updated the program, it has some features you guys wanted!
