map editor rework

[KingDemon]

TL;DR

edit/add stuff to map maker to make it more user friendly.

What ?

make the map editor more user friendly by adding stuff like,
* The ability to control where enemy spawns
* Mini map size change
* Easy to move controls
* adding a new level of monsters that lets the creator control their HP and Damage

Why ?

Making the map editor more user friendly would let players make their own scenarios for anyone.

Side Note:
I'm still new to the game, so i don't want to download any mods. I'm sure i am not the only one that doesn't trust mods made by random people. so adding this to the game would let people like me to be able to play this game longer over time.

Thank you for your time.

Dear Sir!

I am appalled! We Factorians are not random people!

Mods do have issues sometimes but that is simply bugs and usually when you post to the maker on the forum or send them a message they reply or fix it pretty quickly, just like the devs do also with the base game and experimental versions.

So best I found is test mods and read about them. If they are new then be cautious because of bugs. I doubt there will be viruses... just make sure to use the mod portal in game and don't download the squigly lettered ones or ones without decent descriptions etc. Yeah you might miss on some reat mods but so what. The best mods are read about a lot so just browse a bit the forums and reddit if you are really bored or sometimes someone talks about something in a youtube video...

Really try out mods like helicopters. It fits very well with the game and it works more or less perfectly. Bobs and Angels change the game play a lot. (and are hectic difficult at first, and only a little bit less hectic later on.) Even more with seablock. Watch some youtube videos and you will see for yourself the loads of undiscovered fantasticasies..that a word?

Anyways, yes the map editor was a bit bad when I used it last. It was extremely slow to just have a look around at the surrounding areas to get a better idea of the map. V12 or 13 though... I trust the devs will finely comb over every detail of the map editor too before release, but yeah they need the suggestions.

Try some mods also!
